“…Traditionell wurde nach spezifischen Merkmalen des Partners [89,90] oder der Beziehung gesucht, denen ätiologische Bedeutung zukommen könnte. Im Vergleich zu gesunden Kontrollpaaren schätzten Paare mit einem an einer Phobie oder generalisierten Angststörung leidenden Partner ihre Ehequalität schlechter ein [91], hatten mehr Partnerschaftsprobleme [92,93] und geringer ausgeprägte soziale Netze [94]. Für die Partner von Patientinnen mit Agoraphobie und die wahrgenommene Partnerschaftsqualität hingegen wurden einerseits keine Unterschiede zu gesunden Kontrollen festgestellt [90,95,96], andererseits jedoch spezifische familiäre Konfliktthemen beschrieben [97].…”

Finally, the review identifies advances made in this line of research in recent years and highlights areas that need further attention in future research work. Systematic research of families' responses to and management of mental illness should move beyond the more global concept of family and address the great diversity among families with mentally ill relatives. Furthermore, given the lack of consensus regarding the theoretical conceptualizing of the burden concept a new framework with reference to stressrelated research is suggested.

“…When we investigated whether gender differences affect the marital adjustment of PDA and NPDA spouses, we found that PDA and NPDA wives were less adjusted than their male spouses. An explanation, based on differences in sex roles, is that female partners may be culturally predisposed to find their husbands' phobic behavior unacceptable (Marcaurelle, Belanger, Marchand, Katerelos, & Mainguy, 2005), whereas agoraphobic women expect more support from their husbands and tend to describe them as not particularly helpful in making things better (McCarthy & Shean, 1996;Pyke & Roberts, 1987). As a result, agoraphobic women will perceive this lack of support as more distressing to the relationship.…”

“…Given that agoraphobic women tend to seek social support when facing a stressor (Vitaliano, Katon, Russo, Maiuro, & et al, 1987;Vollrath & Angst, 1993) and that agoraphobic women tend to find their husbands unhelpful (McCarthy & Shean, 1996;Pyke & Roberts, 1987), it is possible that their need for social support from their husband is unsatisfied, thereby leading them to be critical of their male partners. In contrast, because PDA men tend to be more preoccupied with somatic fears (Hafner, 1981) and less avoidant, they may need less support from their NPDA wives, and therefore tend to be less critical than PDA women.…”

Several studies showed associations among marital variables and panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA) symptomatology. However, very few explored this issue using behavioural coding of couples' interactions. We www.ccsenet.org/ijps International Journal of Psychological Studies Vol. 3, No. 2; December 2011 ISSN 1918-7211 E-ISSN 1918 108 conducted this study to investigate whether observed marital interaction patterns would predict PDA severity.Cross-sectional, pre-treatment multi-center study of 65 married couples in which one spouse was diagnosed with panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA).All participants completed seven self-reported PDA symptoms measures commonly used in PDA research and two self-reported marital measures. Couples were observed during a 15-minute video-taped problem-solving task. The spouses' marital interactions were coded by two independent coders using two validated observational coding systems.After controlling for socio-economical variables, the presence of negative marital interaction patterns, namely criticism and dominance behaviour, predicted higher symptom severity, whereas the presence of positive interaction patterns, namely support and validation behaviours, predicted lower symptom severity . Emotional over-involvement of the non-PDA partner, a manifestation of expressed emotions, failed to predict PDA severity.Discord in the couple could exacerbate the PDA and maintain it. A therapist evaluating a married PDA client may need to assess his or her client's marital interaction patterns with his or her partner and adjust his intervention accordingly.

Selon plusieurs auteurs, les relations interpersonnelles occupent un rôle important dans le développement, le maintien et le traitement comportemental de l'agoraphobie. Les conclusions des recherches sont rapportées afin de documenter les liens entre l'agoraphobie et différentes variables interpersonnelles, notamment les aspects familiaux caractérisant l'enfance des personnes agoraphobes, leur fonctionnement social, et leur relation conjugale. Une analyse critique des écrits suggère que les relations interpersonnelles occupent parfois une certaine importance dans l'agoraphobie, notamment en ce qui concerne l'apparition du trouble et la présence d'anxiété sociale. Cependant, cette place est beaucoup moins importante que certains auteurs le suggèrent.
