Forty agoraphobics had individual exposure treatment over a period of 28 weeks and were followed up for two years. Outcome in the 27 married patients was as favourable as that in the 13 single patients. However, among the married patients greater improvement occurred in those with better initial marital and sexual adjustment, although even those with poor initial marital adjustment improved significantly during treatment and maintained that improvement during follow-up. Good initial work adjustment and social adjustment were also predictive of particularly good outcome. Reduction of phobias was accompanied by stable or improved marital, sexual, social and work adjustment.
40名广场恐怖症患者接受了为期28周的个体暴露治疗，并随访了两年。27名已婚患者的治疗效果与13名单身患者的效果一样好。然而，在已婚患者中，初始婚姻和性适应较好的患者改善更大，尽管即使是初始婚姻适应较差的患者在治疗期间也有显著改善，并在随访期间维持了这种改善。良好的初始工作适应和社会适应也预示着特别好的治疗效果。恐惧症的减轻伴随着婚姻、性、社会和工作适应的稳定或改善。
