“…This assumption is often not met in clinical conditions. Participant factors including employment flexibility, socioeconomic status, transportation availability, and even underlying physical, mental, or emotional health may affect the ability a participant to receive planned therapy [ [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] ]. When the aWLC method is applied in clinical situations, we expect the Stage I durations for the control group will be both more variable and longer than the current simulation study implies.…”

“…Qualitative process-outcome research is particularly useful to explore patients' experiences of treatment as a complement to quantitative methods (McLeod, 2001). Qualitative interviews are well-suited to identify valuable idiographic information such as obstacles to treatment adherence (Gore, Mendoza & Delgadillo, 2015) or unusual adverse reactions to aspects of treatment that other patients experience as neutral or beneficial (Levy, Glass, Arnkoff & Gershefski, 1996). To our knowledge, however, no previous studies have qualitatively compared patients' experiences of OCD and EMDR for this condition.…”
