Concentrated transdiagnostic and cross-disciplinary group treatment for patients with depression and with anxiety: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A number of treatment approaches have shown efficacy for depression and/or anxiety, yet there is a paucity of research on potentially cost-effective concentrated approaches. Based on our previous experience with concentrated treatment in disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and chronic fatigue, we proposed that this novel approach could be useful for other conditions, including depression and/or anxiety. As a pre-requisite for a future randomized controlled trial, the aim of this study was to investigate the acceptability, satisfaction and effectiveness of a transdiagnostic, interdisciplinary group treatment delivered during 5 consecutive days to groups of 6-10 patients with depression and/or anxiety.

Methods

This was a non-randomized clinical intervent
