BACKGROUND: Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for @entity1 with @entity13217 ( @entity13217 ) aims to reframe underlying conditional beliefs that are thought to maintain @entity308 . AIM: To systematically explore conditional beliefs expressed by primary-care based @entity1 with @entity13217 , defined as non-response to at least 6 weeks of antidepressants. METHOD: Conditional beliefs (stated in an "If.  .  .then.  .  ." format) were extracted from a random sample of 50 sets of therapist notes from the CoBalT trial, a large randomized controlled trial of CBT for @entity13217 in primary care. The beliefs were separated into their two constituent parts; the demands (Ifs) and consequences (thens). An approach based on framework analysis provided a systematic way of organizing the data, and identifying key themes. RESULTS: Four main themes emerged from the demand part of the conditional beliefs (Ifs): 1. High standards; 2. Putting others first/needing approval; 3. Coping; and 4. Hiding "true" self. Three main themes emerged from the consequence part of the conditional beliefs (thens): 1. Defectiveness; 2. Responses of others; 3. Control of emotions. CONCLUSIONS: Identifying common themes in the conditional beliefs of @entity1 with @entity13217 adds to our clinical understanding of this client group, providing useful information to facilitate the complex process of collaborative case conceptualization and working with conditional beliefs within CBT interventions.
