  • Frequency of sessions was measured as the mean number of days between sessions. Consistency of sessions was measured as the SD of the number of days between sessions.

  • β, standardised parameter estimates; CFI, comparative fit index; CPT, cognitive processing therapy; PHQ-9, Patient Health Questionnaire 9; SRMR, standardised root mean residual.
