Filter by:Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders are among the most common in children. Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective and evidence-based treatment for such disorders, access to CBT is often limited. Family-based and internet-delivered therapy is one method to increase access to care. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the comparative efficacy and treatment mechanisms of two lower-intensity but effective treatments for families of children with anxiety or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) via telehealth compared to an adapted Relaxation and Mentorship Training (RMT) intervention involving breathing exercises with a therapist.
The project's aim is to investigate the effect of a transdiagnostic, self-guided, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program in waitlist patients with anxiety disorders.
The present study aims to investigate a potential mechanism of successful CBT for panic disorder, i.e., the reduction of excessive anxious apprehension and fear responses to panic-related body symptoms in the context of CBT treatment. In the present non-randomized interventional study, effects of cognitive behavior therapy on reported symptoms and fear responses to panic-related body symptoms are investigated. It is expected that symptom improvement during CBT is associated with a decrease in the activation of the brain's fear network to panic-related body symptoms.
For the first time panic disorder and agoraphobia are included as separate disorders in the DSM-5. Thus, agoraphobia no longer represents a subcategory of panic disorder. To diagnose both of the disorders, questionnaires are the method of choice. However, there are no measuring instruments available free of charge in German-speaking countries. In order to improve this situation, the Witten Panic Disorder Questionnaire (WPF) and the Witten Agoraphobia Questionnaire (WAF) are constructed in accordance with the DSM-5 criteria. Both measuring instruments are included as a part of a ten instrument battery. WAF and WPF will be delivered to a patient sample of patients with panic disorder and/or agoraphobia as well as depressed patients (discriminant validity). Factor analyzes and item analyses will be conducted.
The primary goal of the present study is to identify mechanisms of therapeutic change of two theoretically contrasting therapeutic procedures: The first phase consists of comparing the outcome of the capnometry-assisted breathing therapy (BRT) with cognitive restructuring (CT). During the second phase participants of both interventions will undergo in-vivo exposure.
The purpose of this study is examine if an internet-based exposure therapy based on inhibitory learning is feasible, acceptable and effective in reducing panic symptoms amongst patients who suffer from panic disorder and agoraphobia.
Panic disorder with agoraphobia is a prevalent and one of the most handicapping anxiety disorders. Although the efficacy of psychological treatment for panic disorder with agoraphobia has been the subject of a great deal of research, studies comparing cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure in vivo have regularly been underpowered to detect small to moderate differences. Therefore, the primary purpose of the present study is to investigate if the combination of cognitive techniques with exposure in vivo is superior to the effects of exposure alone for patients with moderate to severe agoraphobia.
