Abstract
Studies researching psychotherapeutic interventions for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) are quite new to the field. The Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) is the only model developed specifically to treat the chronically depressed patient. While empirical evidence indicates that CBASP is an effective treatment for chronic depression, little is known about its adaptation to a group modality. Treating these patients in a group approach would have the added benefits of being cost-effective and providing in vivo previously avoided interpersonal situations for practising social skills and role-plays. This single arm study asks whether CBASP adapted to a group modality can be effective. All patients received 12 CBASP group therapy sessions with two to four individual preparatory sessions before the group. Our results suggest that CBASP group treatment demonstrated positive effects on patient outcomes. Specifically, patients showed significant decreases in symptoms of depression and the use of emotion-oriented coping, as well as increases in overall social adjustment and interpersonal self-efficacy when compared to pretreatment levels. However, patients did not achieve normative levels in these areas by the end of treatment. These pilot results are encouraging and support further study of the effectiveness of CBASP group treatment with a control group.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
