Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study examined whether goal‐directed treatment leads to improved treatment outcomes for patients with a primary mood or anxiety disorder and whether beneficial outcomes are achieved sooner compared to treatment as usual. In a quasi‐experimental controlled study with a nested design, 17 therapists received training in goal‐directed treatment and treated 105 patients with anxiety or mood disorders using principles of goal‐directed treatment. Treatment results on a generic self‐report instrument were compared with two control groups: a historical control group consisting of 16 of the 17 participating therapists, who provided treatment as usual to 97 patients before having received training in goal‐directed treatment, and a parallel control group consisting of various therapists, who provided treatment as usual to 105 patients. Symptom reduction on a self‐report measure was compared using multilevel analysis. A survival analysis was performed to assess whether a satisfactory end state had been reached sooner after goal‐directed treatment. The results of this study show that goal‐directed treatment only led to a significantly better overall treatment outcome compared to the parallel treatment as usual group. Furthermore, goal‐directed treatment was significantly shorter than both treatment as usual groups. In conclusion, this research suggest that goal‐directed treatment led to a similar or better treatment outcome in a shorter amount of time.
