Renewed Feedback-Informed Group Treatment for Patients With Anxiety and Depressive Disorders

This course was updated today. If you're about to take the exam, you may benefit from reviewing the exam questions listed below before starting on the actual exam.

About the Course

This quasi-experimental study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a renewed feedback-informed group treatment (FIGT) for patients with anxiety and depressive disorders. The study found that patients and therapists generally recommended using the new feedback method, which involved personalized goals, therapist training, and active use of feedback during therapy sessions. However, while the method increased feedback discussions and group cohesion, no significant clinical improvements in symptoms were observed.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Renewed Feedback-Informed Group Treatment for Patients With Anxiety and Depressive Disorders created by Marjolein M. W. Koementas-de Vos et al in 2023.
