Abstract

While treatments for Generalized Anxiety Disorder have considerably improved recently, they remain less effective than similar treatments for other anxiety disorders. This paper reports on a comparative outcome study of a large group didactic therapy specifically designed to teach patients to “become their own therapists” in an attempt to counter the relapse problems commonly associated with this condition. The data suggest that improvements noted at six month follow-up are maintained at two years. Suggestions are forwarded to explain the lack of differential responding found among different therapy approaches.
