Özet: The aim of this study is to conduct a short review of the related literature about panic attack, panic disorder, and anxiety disorder, of which many suffer although little known about them and the family therapy methods, which have been frequently considered for the healing process of the psychological state. For this reason, the first attempt was to define anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Review continued with elaborating on the factors causing panic disorder and panic attack. Following that, the sort of family therapy method, which is needed in regard to the nature of the attack, has been negotiated on the basis of the definitions derived from the related literature. The results of the review yielded that in our culture panic attack syndrome caused by panic disorder is being confused with other types of anxiety disorder since the symptoms are quite similar. The related literature, which defined panic disorder and other anxiety types have been mostly based on Western culture and represent their understanding of the problem. According to western expressions, the best therapy method is the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy formed by family therapy methods and the most contemporary method of detecting panic disorder is the use of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), which physically shows evidence regarding the existence of panic disorder.
