Abstract
Recent comprehensive reviews of hyperventilation (Cowley and Roy-Byrne, 1987; Gardner and Bass, 1989; Garssen and Rijken, 1986; Magarian, 1982) reflect the magnitude of current interest in the subject. In part, this was stimulated by the publication of DMS-III-R in 1980 (American Psychiatric Association, 1980), when panic disorder was proposed as a separate diagnostic entity. That panic disorder and hyperventilation share common features is not disputed. The main area of controversy concerns the nature of the relationship between them.
