Background summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of autonomy-groups in patients with anxiety disorders. This study uses a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. There will be two groups of patients with anxiety disorders, the AGs and the control-groups (waiting list) and three measurement moments: before, halfway, and at the end of treatment. Participants fill out several questionnaires concerning autonomy-connectedness and mental health.
Patients will be recruited in the Netherlands.
Study objective
1. Patients with anxiety disorders show an increase of autonomy after the Autonomy-Group treatment;
2. Patients with anxiety disorders show a decrease of their symptoms after the Autonomy-Group treatment.
Study design
Before treatment (T1), halfway (7 weeks, T2) and after treatment (15 weeks, T3).
Intervention
Intervention, Autonomy Group:
The treatment is aimed at increasing autonomy by means of a protocol developed for this study. There are 15 sessions of AGs each offered once in a week, taking 2 to 2,5 hours. Every group has an average of 8 to 10 patients.
Control:
The control group consists of patients on a waiting list. The duration of the waiting list is the same as that of the intervention group: 15 weeks.
