[Return to Work: A Workplace Focused Module to be Integrated in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy].
Psychiatric disorders, in particular depression and anxiety disorders, are important causes of impaired job performance and increased sick leave. Longer periods of sickness leave lead regularly to difficulties concerning return to work. Furthermore, work is an important factor for psychological health. The central issue of the "return to work" (RTW) module by Lagerveldt and colleagues 5 is remission from psychiatric disorder, and structured support to return to work. The module is based on principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and can be integrated in standard CBT. Existing data from a randomized controlled trial suggest that treatment outcome concerning remission is similar between CBT supplemented with RTW (CBT-W) module and standard CBT. However, time to return to work is reduced in CBT-W.
