Enduring effects of evidence-based psychotherapies in acute depression and anxiety disorders versus treatment as usual at follow-up - A longitudinal meta-analysis

摘要

Objective: This meta-analysis examined the enduring efficacy of evidence-based psychotherapies (EBP) in comparison to treatment as usual (TAU) by examining effects from termination to follow-up for acute anxiety and depression in an adult outpatient population. It was hypothesized that EBPs might extend their efficacy at follow-up assessment (Tolin, 2010).
