ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to develop a Christian Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program for Panic Disorder, to verify the effectiveness of the program. To do this, the article first studied theoretical background and biblical perspective on panic disorder. Based on this, this study attempted a Christian counseling approach to Barlow and Craske’s MAP(Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic), which is recognized as the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Panic Disorder, and developed a Christian Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program using five Christian change mechanisms. The Christian change mechanism used in this program is Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy(BBRT), that is, the biblical thought from the perspective of the Kingdom of God, turning self-dialogue into dialogue with the Lord, the image of God, motivation. The Christian Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program was conducted for 12 weeks for Christians diagnosed with panic disorder and the effectiveness of the program was verified. The results of this study are as follows. The experimental group who participated in the Christian Cognitive Behavior Therapy program showed a significant decrease in ‘severity of panic and agoraphobia’ scale and ‘anxiety sensitivity’ scale. As a result of the study, the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Panic Disorder has proven effective in Christians with panic disorder. This study developed the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Panic Disorder using five Christian Change Mechanisms for Bible Change, suggesting a method of Christian counseling.
