This study examined the influence of individual self-esteem and group self-esteem on outcome for patients completing a GCBT treatment programme at a private psychiatric facility. The 10-day intensive GCBT programme was effective at reducing patients’ pre-treatment distress scores (depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms). As expected, patients with higher individual pre-treatment self-esteem performed significantly better than patients with lower individual self-esteem and this effect was evident on all three outcome distress measures (changes in depression, anxiety, and stress). The current result, showing an association between pre-treatment self-esteem and outcome, is consistent with previous studies by Brown et al. (1986) and Roberts et al. (1999) who found self-esteem to be a good predictor for mitigation in depressive symptoms. It also supports previous research by Hooke and Page (2002) who found low self-esteem to be a
significant predictor for stress and anxiety reduction following GCBT.
