InterventionSubjects were randomly assigned to one of the following groups:
1. Received 5 sessions over a 4 week period of supervised practice of an Attentional Control Training tape and were asked to practice daily in the intervening period (n = 37)
2. Received an identical amount of therapist contact and also received tape-based training but based upon physical fitness training (n = 35)
3. Received no therapist contact but were assessed at the same intervals as the other 2 groups (n = 38)

The intervention was delivered in the participants own home. All patients were assessed at pre-treatment, post-training and 12 months follow-up by an assessor blind to the treatment group.
