| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The research aims to establish two results: whether treatment of some kind offers significant long term benefits over no treatment at all; and whether group treatment offers significantly better long term results that individual therapy. Whatever the nature of results obtained, they will contribute to a small but growing body of knowledge which will allow clinicians to make more empirically based treatment choices for the individual patient. | — |
