This was a secondary analysis of a study comparing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) versus its components -behavior therapy (BT) and cognitive therapy (CT)- for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). We examined whether interpersonal problem subtypes would differentially predict outcomes from compared treatments. Those with dimensionally more intrusiveness responded with greater GAD symptom reduction to BT than to CBT at post-treatment and greater change to BT than to CT or CBT at all follow-up points Those with more dominant problems responded better to BT compared to CT and CBT at all follow-up points Being overly-nurturant at baseline was associated with GAD symptoms at baseline, post, and all follow-up time-points regardless of therapy condition
