Description
Marques and six co-authors set out a trial protocol comparing two brief psychotherapies in a 2026 paper. One is a new approach called Behavioral Analysis Therapy of Feelings. The other is Brief Focal Psychotherapy, an established short treatment.
Adults with anxiety or depression symptoms will be assigned at random to one of the two therapies. Assessors who score outcomes will not know which therapy each person got. Standard scales for anxiety, depression, and sleep will be taken at the start and at later checks. The team will also explore saliva and blood markers tied to stress and inflammation. The trial aims to give early evidence on the new therapy's effects.
