Comparison of Metacognitive Therapy Versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials
Overview
This meta-analysis compares the efficacy of metacognitive therapy (MCT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for generalized anxiety disorder using data from three randomized control trials. The study evaluates changes in worry severity via the Penn State Worry Questionnaire and symptom severity via the Beck Anxiety Inventory at post-treatment and two-year follow-up. Results indicate that MCT was associated with greater reductions in scores and higher recovery rates compared to CBT.
