This study provides credible longitudinal, within-person evidence in line with Beck's model: improvements in negative self-beliefs precede and accumulate into subsequent symptom relief, while symptoms also feed back on beliefs. As such, it fills an important empirical gap by demonstrating a robust cognition-to-symptoms pathway under rigorous temporal modeling.
