title: Group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Disorders With Personality Disorders in Day Clinic Setting.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Short-term group cognitive-behavioral therapy (GCBT) with weekly homogeneous group sessions for treating specific anxiety disorders is relatively well developed and recognized. However, 12 weeks of intensive daily therapy for mixed anxiety and personality disorders is not. The current article aims to fill this gap by presenting the method of intensive transdiagnostic GCBT for anxiety disorders with comorbid personality disorders in a day hospital setting. Preliminary studies showed that participants exhibited significant improvement during this type of treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This article reviews the advantages of group therapy that is transdiagnostic over the homogeneous group and individual therapy formats.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The detailed description of the current therapeutical program may facilitate the development of similar programs in day clinic settings.
