Abstract
Background: The United Kingdom's Talking Therapies for Anxiety and Depression (TTAD) programme provides standardised definitions for recovery-related outcomes, allowing transparent and comparable reporting. This study aimed to descriptively examine recovery-related outcomes following cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in a Japanese clinical sample using established TTAD definitions.
Method: Data were drawn from patients who received CBT in routine clinical practice. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire, respectively. Recovery, reliable improvement, and reliable recovery were classified according to the TTAD criteria.
Results: The sample consisted of 241 participants, of whom 178 (73.9%) met the criteria for caseness at baseline. Among those with baseline caseness, 75 participants (42.1%) met the criteria for recovery at the end of treatment. Across the full sample, 103 participants (47.2%) demonstrated reliable improvement. Reliable recovery, defined as meeting the criteria for both recovery and reliable improvement, was observed in 65 participants (36.5% of those with baseline caseness).
Conclusions: Using standardised TTAD definitions, this study provides a descriptive account of recovery-related outcomes following CBT in routine clinical practice in Japan. The findings show the distribution of recovery and improvement outcomes in this sample and highlight the importance of clearly distinguishing between recovery-related indicators when interpreting outcomes in real-world clinical settings.
期刊介绍：
An international multidisciplinary journal aimed primarily at members of the helping and teaching professions. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy features original research papers, covering both experimental and clinical work, that contribute to the theory, practice and evolution of cognitive and behaviour therapy. The journal aims to reflect and influence the continuing changes in the concepts, methodology, and techniques of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy. A particular feature of the journal is its broad ranging scope - both in terms of topics and types of study covered. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy encompasses most areas of human behaviour and experience, and represents many different research methods, from randomized controlled trials to detailed case studies.
