Abstract
Client anxiety word use decreased in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but increased in Panic-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in patients randomly assigned to those treatments. Sadness words increased for clients in same-sex therapist-client dyads in both treatments, but decreased for clients in mixed-gender dyads.
