RECRUITMENT
Therapists were recruited from the team that provides psychological treatment at Liljeholmen Primary Health Care Center. The mean age of the ten therapists was 43.9 years (SD = 7.9), nine were women, six were clinical psychologists, and four were social workers. The therapists had a mean of 10.1 years (SD = 5.8) of clinical experience, and 4.5 years (SD = 7.0) of experience working with patients with GAD. Four therapists self-selected to provide IUT and six self-selected to provide MCT. Therapists provided either IUT or MCT throughout the whole trial. All therapists had completed basic training in CBT, and one had completed advanced training to become a psychotherapist. Before recruitment and not as part of the present study, three therapists had participated in specific training in treating GAD: a one-day workshop on MCT (one IUT therapist), a one-day workshop on applied relaxation (one IUT therapist), and a two-day workshop on applied relaxation (one MCT therapist).
