This approach teaches openness and social signaling to aid in building connections with others. Particular disorders that this treatment has shown efficacy for include Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Treatment Resistant Depression, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Anorexia Nervosa. Treatment involves both weekly individual sessions and group sessions.
