Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Protocol Development and Initial Outcome Data
Open accessAbstract
Two studies present preliminary support for the Unified Protocol (UP), a transdiagnostic, emotion-focused cognitive-behavioral treatment developed to be applicable across the emotional disorders. Study 1 presents data from an open clinical trial of the initial version of the UP in a heterogeneous clinical sample, yielding large pre- to post-treatment effect sizes across disorders on measures of DSM-IV diagnostic category severity, and medium to large effect sizes on general measures of depression and anxiety, social adjustment, and levels of negative and positive affect. Following a period of further manual development resulting in specific modifications and enhancements to core treatment components, Study 2 presents data from an additional pilot study of this revised version of the UP. Results from Study 2 demonstrated more robust treatment effect sizes and greater changes across measures of depression, anxiety, positive and negative affect, social adjustment, and quality of life. Relatively similar treatment effects were again demonstrated across a full range of anxiety and mood disorders, suggesting roughly equivalent transdiagnostic efficacy. Implications for the treatment of emotional disorders, clinical practice, and dimensional conceptualizations of psychopathology are discussed.

“recent CBT interventions have integrated both less and more elaborate training components by synthesizing mindfulness and attention training with traditional CBT techniques78–80, resulting in high endstate functioning which is achieved and maintained through follow-up periods, while also sampling patients evidencing prominent depression features at baseline78–80.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
