Interpersonal sensitivity predicts slower change and less change in anxiety symptoms in cognitive behavioural therapy
CONCLUSIONS: Interpersonal sensitivity at baseline predicts less change and a slower rate of change in anxiety symptoms. Early detection of elevated interpersonal sensitivity can help therapists take action to address these barriers to successful treatment and help scientists build decision support tools that accurately predict the trajectory of change in anxiety symptoms for these patients.PMID:38685732 | DOI:10.1111/bjc.12470 (Source: The British Journal of Clinical Psychology)
