Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a Patient with Generalized Anxiety Disorder

A Case Report for the State Examination in Psychological Psychotherapy

This case study presents the outpatient cognitive behavioral therapy of a 39-year-old woman diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (ICD-10: F41.1). Over the course of 19 sessions, key elements of CBT—such as psychoeducation, worry diaries, exposure techniques, and cognitive restructuring—were applied and adapted to the patient’s personal history and symptom profile. The study includes a structured diagnostic assessment, detailed therapy course, and critical reflection of therapeutic progress.

Developed for the State Examination in Psychological Psychotherapy, this paper provides valuable insight into clinical reasoning, intervention planning, and real-world implementation of CBT techniques. Ideal for psychology students, psychotherapy trainees, and mental health professionals seeking practical orientation.
