Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a short-term (8 session) Relaxation Response Skills Training (RRST) programme for a population of psychiatric outpatients with anxiety and mood disorders who were unresponsive to drug treatment, and to test the feasibility of this intervention as complementary treatment for a psychiatric setting.
Method: Forty patients were measured for overall psychopathological symptoms, depression, and anxiety, and were then given an 8-week course of RRST, while continuing their pharmacological treatment.

- A study tested a type of therapy called short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) to see if it helps people with anxiety or depression better than regular treatment.
- Sixty patients with these issues were divided into two groups: one received STPP and the other received standard treatment for a year.
- The results showed that those who had STPP experienced greater improvements in their symptoms and relationships compared to those who received the usual treatment.
