Enrolled participants were randomized to one of two psychotherapy conditions: 8 sessions of Brief Cognitive Behavior Therapy or Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) over a 12 week protocol.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we completed the study in two phases. Phase 1 procedures were conducted entirely in-person and Phase 2 procedures were conducted via telehealth. Phase 1 recruitment began July 2018 and concluded in February 2020. Recruitment for Phase 2 began July 2020 and concluded March 2021.
This project aims to model the dynamics of individual and dyadic behavior on a moment-by-moment basis within each therapy session and over the course of treatment. These models will be used to test hypotheses about multimodal behavior dynamics, psychotherapy process, type of treatment, and treatment outcome.
