Bassett developed aself-help program called "Attacking Anxiety and Depression" which was the subject of a study by theJournal of Clinical Psychology. The study of 176 participants found that roughly 50% of participants reported positive changes in their lives as a result of the program Bassett developed, which is comparable to the improvements made in private counseling with a licensed therapist.[5]
