Offering a novel analysis of a patient’s experience of agoraphobia, this collaboration between a clinical psychologist and a linguist proposes a view of agoraphobia as a communicative disorder. It opens up potential for linguistic and narrative analysis by revealing the roots of panic and by establishing a framework for therapeutic intervention.
