Change in personality traits and facets (NEO-PI-R) following metacognitive therapy or cognitive behavior therapy for generalized anxiety disorder: Results from a randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to show that efficient treatment for a specific disorder resulted in changes across NEO-PI-R factors and facets, and that more efficient treatment results in greater change. If this reflects a reduced trait vulnerability for mental disorder, this might provide evidence of relapse prevention. PMID: 33338315 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
