A growing body of research on transdiagnostic cognitive-behavior therapy protocols for
emotional disorders (depression and anxiety disorders) has emerged in recent years, showing
that these protocols can be as effective as well-established disorder-specific psychotherapy.
Negative affect and positive affect are two higher-order dimensions that play an important role
in emotional disorders. A common denominator among transdiagnostic treatment protocols for
emotional disorders is that they mainly target negative affectivity, but the inclusion in these
protocols of treatment components that more directly address the regulation of positive
affectivity has not yet received empirical attention. We have developed a transdiagnostic
protocol for emotional disorders that incorporates, as an innovative feature, a specific treatment
component to more directly up-regulate positive affectivity. The protocol has been developed in
both face-to-face and Internet-based formats. In this study, we present data from a clinical
sample of eleven patients with different emotional disorders who received this transdiagnostic
treatment protocol delivered in a blended format (face-to-face therapy plus online therapy).
Results showed that the protocol was effective for the treatment of a variety of emotional
disorders, with overall large effect sizes for positive and negative affectivity, and other measures
such as depression, anxiety sensitivity, quality of life and two higher-order personality
dimensions (neuroticism and extraversion) at post-treatment. Moreover, the treatment gains
were maintained at the 3-month follow-up. Data on the acceptance of the intervention by
participants are also presented. The results obtained in this study suggest the importance of
including treatment components to up-regulate positive affectivity, in addition to down-regulating
negative affectivity, in current and future research on transdiagnostic treatments for emotional
disorders. [-]
