Summary

This study compares standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alone to CBT plus a group program called Kiesler Circle Training (KCT) that focuses on improving interpersonal skills.

The study involves 156 adults who are already in individual CBT and have above-average interpersonal problems.
