Abstract
To determine the efficacy of self-examination therapy in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, 38 adults volunteered for a study in which they were randomly assigned to self-examination therapy or to a delayed-treatment group. Analyses indicated that participants in self-examination therapy had significantly fewer symptoms of anxiety than did participants in the delayed-treatment group on the outcome measures of this study, which included ratings by trained clinicians and participants. The reduction in anxiety for people receiving self-examination therapy was maintained 3 months after treatment ended. The delayed-treatment group also showed significant improvement in anxiety symptoms after receiving self-examination therapy.
