Filter by:The six processes within the psychological flexibility model of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are seen as being equally theoretically and clinically important. The utility of self-as-context component however has never been isolated in a dismantling study. The present study therefore sought to conduct a pilot two-arm dismantling component study of ACT, quarantining the self-as-context component from one of the arms. Patients with a long-term health condition (LTC) and concurrent mental health condition were randomised into one of two study arms; (1) Full-ACT or (2) ACT minus self-as-context (ACT-SAC). Participants in each arm were compared with regards to their ability to engage in psychological flexibility and decentering. Clinical outcomes were compared at end of treatment and also at 6-weeks follow-up.
The purpose of this research study is to provide help and support for mental health and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk reduction among Romanian gay and bisexual men. GBM will participate in this study using mobile device (phones, tablets, or laptops) and will complete several confidential surveys and 8 confidential one-hour sessions, either with a trained counselor via chat or by reading about health information. This study also involves testing for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.
In Canada, the prevalence of PTSD is approximately 12%, similar to Canadian military personnel. Current treatments for PTSD are limited in efficacy and durability - indicating a dire need for novel interventions in this population. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has a high degree of safety and has been studied as an intervention for many mental health and neurological conditions; even showing initial promise for PTSD. We propose to study this further in a randomized sham controlled trial of TMS for PTSD.
The main purpose of the pragmatic multicenter studies is to investigate the trransdiagnostic, manualized acceptance and commitment (ACT) therapy group treatment (Navigator ACT) in treatment of stress and distress in parents of children with disabilities, and to investigate the concepts of experiential avoidance and psychological flexibility in the context of parenting. The first phase includes a feasibility study (n=94) of the Navigator ACT for parents of children (0-17 years) with disabilties who participate in the Navigator ACT group treatment after being screened for symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety associated with the challenges of parenting. In the second phase a randomised controlled trial (RCT) is conducted. In the RCT, we expect to include approximately n=100 parents of children with disabilties divided into experiment- and control groups. The recruitment takes places in several regions in Sweden. In addition, we are going to complete a psychometric evaluation of the main outcome instrument used in these studies, The Parental Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (PAAQ). In an additional study (expected n= ca 600), we will predict factors that explain treatment outcome and attrition as well as investigate process variables in a mediation model,
One in three Black boys born today in the United States will be incarcerated at some point in their lifetime, compared to one in 17 White boys. Black males are more likely to be arrested, convicted, and given unfair sentences. Black youth comprise of 16% of the Nation's public schools, but account for 32% of suspended students. For over 30 years, research has consistently highlighted the disproportionately severe disciplinary practices used with Black male students.Consistent research demonstrates that students who are suspended or expelled tend to drop out of school and/or become incarcerated in a juvenile detention center. Black students may relate their racial-ethnic identity, such as their understanding of their race and ethnicity, to academic success. Moreover, their attitudes may result from the expectation of their teachers. It is imperative that advocates devoted to positive youth development intervene to this issue negatively affecting the well-being of Black youth. Under the mentorship of Caitlin Sayegh, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow Tierra Ellis, Ph.D., has developed a 9-session group intervention called Black Youth M.A.T.T.E.R. (BYM), which aims to debunk mental health stigma, help children shift their cognitive distortions about education, and normalize their experiences through group activities, while introducing them to advocacy and self-empowerment. This intervention may decrease mental health symptoms, increase motivation to approach goal-oriented outcomes, and reverse internalized beliefs and attitudes which may foster more positive perceptions related to school.
Adult patients scheduled to undergo TAVR were randomized to receive brief bedside cognitive behavioral therapy for depression/anxiety or treatment as usual.
Depression and anxiety are prevalent mental disorders among the working population with potentially high personal and financial cost. The aim of the study is to test the applicability of an outreach collaborative model for early identification and treatment of clinical and sub-clinical mental disorders among Danish employees. applicability was examined by I) investigating the fractions of identified and treated clinical and subclinical cases, II) describing the distribution and characteristics of cases identified and III) investigating the effect of allocated treatment. A longitudinal study design with four assessments over 16 months are applied. Six medium-large companies will be included, both public and private cooperations. Self-reporting questionnaires probing for psychopathology will be distributed to all employees in the six consecutively enrolled companies at the four time points. Employees meeting the screening criteria at T1 will be assessed diagnostically. Subjects diagnosed with a clinical mental disorder will be allocated to outpatient psychiatric treatment, and subjects with subclinical conditions will be allocated to preventive cognitive behavioural therapy. Follow-up is conducted 6 and 12 months after initiation of treatment. Participation in the study is voluntary at all levels. Written informed consent will be obtained from participant selected for diagnostic interview and treatment.
Aims The aims of this study are: 1. To characterize patients' psychological well-being from the time they are referred to a phase I trial and determine risk factors for poor well-being. 2. To investigate perceived information, expectations and regret when a patient participate in a phase I trial. Materials and methods This study is a prospective cohort study based on longitudinal applied questionnaires. The questionnaire will consist of questionnaires measuring stress, anxiety, depression and health-related quality of life longitudinal through the course in the Phase I Unit. At the time of inclusion in a trial, there will be questions regarding perceived information and expectations. At the time of exclusion from trial, there will be questions regarding regret. The questionnaire will consist primarily of validated questionnaires. When a validated questionnaire does not exist, a previous applied questionnaire will be used to ensure comparison with data from other studies. Only a limited use of self-constructed single-items will be applied.
The present study aims to determine the effect of presenting psychoeducation emphasizing "growth-mindset," and information on modifiable risk factors (e.g., social contact, physical activity) on engagement with modifiable risk factors. The investigators hypothesize that psychoeducation emphasizing that mental health is malleable will increase the participant's engagement with risk factors outlined in the intervention.
T.E.A.M. psychotherapy was developed by one of the founders of cognitive therapy, David Burns and builds on traditional CBT with an emphasis on T = Testing, E = Empathy, A = Agenda Setting (assessing and building motivation) and M = Methods (including cognitive and behavioral methods). Because TEAM therapy is a data-driven therapy, its delivery hinges on the use of symptom measures and measures of the therapeutic alliance at every session with every patient. These measures are now available for collection thru computerized forms, making their collection and review considerably more accessible and efficient for the patient and therapist. The following hypotheses will be tested: 1. TEAM psychotherapy using computerized measurement collection is safe and feasible. 2. TEAM psychotherapy using computerized measurement collection shows evidence of efficacy by exploratory non inferiority testing compared to benchmark studies with similar psychotherapeutic modalities 3. Evidence for efficacy is strong enough to justify pursuit of an experimental randomized controlled clinical trial of TEAM therapy for major depressive disorder versus treatment as usual.
