Exploring the occurrence of sudden gains among  anxious youth receiving evidence‐based cognitive‐behavioral therapy

ConclusionsWhile sudden gains have been demonstrated in some studies, in a relatively new topic to the literature such as this, it should also be considered that many evidence‐based treatments are actually intended to produce more steady/gradual gains – which may be particularly true for youth who are not as cognitively advanced as adults and who have much to learn about how psychopathology – and for this analysis, anxiety – operates.
