Borkovec, T. D.; Costello, Ellen

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v61 n4 p611-19 Aug 1993

Nondirective, applied relaxation, and cognitive behavioral therapies for generalized anxiety disorder were compared. Nondirective created the greatest depth of emotional processing. Follow-up results indicated losses in gains in nondirective, maintained gains for applied relaxation and cognitive behavioral. The highest endstate functioning was for cognitive behavioral therapy, based on interpretation of 10 different rating instruments. (Author/SR)
