False Safety Behavior Elimination Therapy: A Randomized Study of a Brief Individual Transdiagnostic Treatment for Anxiety Disorders

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder

In brief

The aim of the current study was to test the efficacy of an individually administered, brief (5-session) transdiagnostic treatment for anxiety disorders. The current treatment (called F-SET) focuses chiefly on the elimination of anxiety maintaining behaviors and cognitive strategies (so-called "safety" aids) among individuals suffering from a range of anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD) and panic disorder (PD). We hypothesized that the F-SET protocol would produce better overall outcome relative to a waitlist control.
