Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and related disorders: A meta‐analysis of randomized placebo‐controlled trials
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for various anxiety-related disorders by comparing it against psychological or pill placebos in 41 randomized controlled trials. The resource reports moderate effects on target symptoms and smaller effects on comorbid depression and quality of life, with specific findings regarding dropout rates and treatment modalities for conditions like PTSD and OCD. It is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in quantitative summaries of CBT outcomes relative to placebo controls.
