Trans-diagnostic Group CBT vs. Standard Group CBT for Depression, Social Anxiety and Agoraphobia/Panic Disorder

Transdiagnostic Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) delivered in the individual format, have been proven just as effective as traditional diagnosis specific CBT manuals. The investigators have translated and modified the "The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders" (UP-CBT) to make it applicable as group therapy in Danish Mental Health Service and a naturalistic trial of this manual has shown promising results. As the use of one manual instead of several diagnosis specific manuals in regional clinics could simplify logistics and reduce waiting time, the investigators want to compare group UP-CBT with diagnosis specific group CBT. Method: A partial blinded, pragmatic, non-inferiority, multicentre randomized clinical trial (RCT). UP-CBT is compared to treatment-as-usual CT. 124 patients are included in each intervention arm, recruited from three Danish regional Mental Health Service Clinics. 31st July 2018 suppl: Inclusion number expanded to 170 in each arm due to unexpected large drop-out.
