On the 22nd of October, Hafrún Kristjánsdóttir, Head of Sports Science Department from Reykjavik University defended her PhD Thesis entitled: “ Improving Access to Psychological Therapies in Iceland by offering Transdiagnostic Cognitive Behavioural Group Therapy – Psychometic issues and treatment effectiveness”. 

Supervisors were: Jón Friðrik Sigurðsson and Paul Salkovskis. 

The conclusion of the study was: the Icelandic translation of the CORE-OM is psychometrically sound and can be applied in Icelandic mental health studies, especially studies on transdiagnostic treatments. The Icelandic TCBGT protocol is feasible for a wide range of mood and anxiety disorders in primary care and the treatment delivers similar effects on general and disorder specific symptoms. The results indicate that low intensity transdiagnostic group therapies may be a feasible way to improve access to psychological therapies for members of the public in primary care.
