“…The six subscales have been supported in a clinical sample as well as nonclinical student samples (Gros et al, ), and shown to differentiate symptoms across anxiety disorders and depression and their comorbidities, rather than being limited to social anxiety symptomatology (Gros, McCabe, & Antony, ). The measure also has been shown to be sensitive to improvements during the course of evidence‐based psychotherapy (Gros, Farmer, McCabe, & Antony, ). For the purposes of the present study, the functional impairment and coping with substances scales were not investigated.…”

Objective To date, transdiagnostic treatments have primarily investigated treatment outcomes of general psychiatric symptomatology, rather than the specific transdiagnostic symptoms implicated in their protocols. The present study sought to address this significant gap in the literature by investigating the effect of transdiagnostic behavior therapy (TBT) on transdiagnostic avoidance. Method Forty‐four veterans diagnosed with various emotional disorders initiated TBT, and completed diagnostic and self‐report measures at pre‐ and posttreatment. Results Participants demonstrated reliable treatment improvements in measures of situational, thought, and positive emotional avoidance, with moderate‐to‐large effect sizes, and in measures of physical/interoceptive avoidance with small‐to‐medium effect sizes. Conclusions The findings support the hypothesized effect of TBT in self‐report measures of four types of transdiagnostic avoidance in participants diagnosed with various emotional disorders. These findings contribute to the growing literature on the potential benefits of the transdiagnostic approaches to address symptomatology across diagnoses.
