CBT
All participating subjects will start a 12-week CBT treatment program. These consist of weekly 1-hour CBT sessions led by a cognitive therapist. Assessments will be repeated at week 16. All PsyD subjects will undergo a 15-minute, structured diagnostic interview (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)) developed to screen for axis I DSM-IV and ICD-10 psychiatric disorders. We will also use two clinician-rated instruments to assess comorbid psychopathology in PsyD patients, the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), to evaluate for depressed mood, vegetative and cognitive symptoms of depression; and the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) to evaluate psychic and somatic anxiety. These scales will be administered as part of a structured interview.
