To investigate whether (a) baseline levels of panic-specific reflection function (PSRF; i.e. patients' capacity to reflect on their panic symptoms) and improvement in this capacity over treatment; (b) baseline borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits and pre-post treatment improvement in BPD traits predict change in patients' quality of object relations.
