Efficacy of Transdiagnostic Group Therapy on Difficulties Emotion Regulation and emotion regulation
Design
We designed a diagnostic process based on co-morbidity between anxiety disorder and depression symptoms. Also, we served various materials to identify the appropriate subjects. A combination of Clinical diagnostic and self-report assessments more limited the eligibility of participation. Patients who met The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV SCID-I criteria, for anxiety disorders, were evaluated in terms of the scales of emotion regulation, the scales of depression, and the scales of anxiety disorders. At last, only people who exclusively received at least one self-report score in each of the three domains were selected to randomization.
Also, we investigate a web based intervention condition simoultanously.
