| Study objectives | Does cognitive self-therapy (CST) in outpatient mental health care have any superiority as to cost-effectiveness and outcome compared to treatment as usual? |
| Ethics approval(s) | Received from local medical ethics committee |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Depression, anxiety disorders |
| Intervention | Treatment as usual (TAU) versus CST which is a structured method that seeks to restructure cognitive schemata by focusing on problems in social functioning and relationships and consists of a Preparatory Phase, an Orientation Course of three weekly morning-meetings to practice with peers; a Basic Course (BC) of 5 weekly, day-long sessions in which patients learn to manage self-therapy sessions with peers. Those who perform these sessions adequately are certified to participate in weekly meetings, now led by peers in accordance with the manual, as taught during the BC. The patientsÂ’ role in the treatment gradually evolves into that of 'paraprofessionals', such that finally they conduct Self-Therapy sessions in reciprocal relationships with peers. |
