Zusammenfassung:	The Fear Questionnaire responses of 390 patients with panic disorder with agoraphobia were used in a confirmatory factor analysis. The results provide strong support for the 3-factor model of this scale (agoraphobia, social phobia, blood/injury phobia) and the multidimensional model of fears proposed by Arrindell (1980) . The presence of fear clusters other than agoraphobia existing in panic disorder is also discussed.
