1. Hofmann et al. (2012)- Meta-Analysis on CBT Efficacy

• Investigates the benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by an extensive systematic review
• Takes a look at many studies to give perceptions of the total effectiveness of CBT for anxiety

1. Cuijpers et al. (2014)- Meta-Analysis on Psychotherapies for Depression

• Explores the influence of psychotherapies on considerable depression, also may suggest applicable understanding towards a broad range of mental health systems
• Despite centering on depression, the findings may have hints for grasping the larger application of therapeutic interventions

1. Arch et al. (2012)- RCT Comparing CBT and ACT for Mixed Anxiety Disorders

• Introduces an unsystematically clinical trial weighing up Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for mixed anxiety disorders
• Provides a fist-hand comparison between two therapeutic approaches for managing anxiety

1. Olatunji et al. (2010)-Meta-Analysis on CBT Efficacy for Anxiety Disorders

• Evaluate meta-analytic findings to form an opinion of the complete benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in managing anxiety disorders
• Lays out a full overview of the accumulative results from multiple studies

1. Craske et al. (2017)-Nature Reviews on Anxiety Disorders

• Provide a broader perspective by exploring anxiety disorders in an extensive review
• Not only focuses on CBT, but it also gives context and background information on anxiety disorders from a nature review point

Rationale:

When investigating the impacts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on anxiety it is crucial because of its extensive use in mental health management. Provided the many findings from studies and the developing nature of therapeutic design, a complete review will give a better understanding of the "present" state of evidence. This examination's focus is to advise researchers, policymakers, and practitioners about the productiveness of CBT, helping to better the quality of anxiety treatments.

Hypothesis:

This hypothesizes that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is bound to continue having positive results in the treatment of anxiety disorders. The hypothesis is based on the collected evidence from meta-analyses and clinical tests, suggesting that CBT is successful and widespread evidence, holding CBT as being an intervention for anxiety and having high expectations for bettering treatment protocols and clinical practice
