Psychotherapy research in affective disorders - PAS

The working group PAS - Psychotherapy Research in Affective Disorders was formed in 2014, when a randomized controlled trial was prepared under the leadership of Prof. Batra, which looked at the effectiveness of hypnotherapy compared to the established Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression. The study was financially supported by the Milton Erickson Society and has been completed since 2018.
The questions have since been expanded to include the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for agoraphobia and with research on emotion regulation.
