The current study examines whether change-readiness, and consequently treatment outcome, can be enhanced in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) by adding a brief course of Motivational Interviewing (MI adapted for anxiety, Westra & Dozois, 2003) before and during CBT when motivation wanes. 106 individuals with severe GAD will be randomly assigned to receive an equal number of sessions of either MI and CBT (MI-CBT arm) or CBT alone (CBT alone arm). It is expected that the MI-CBT arm relative to the CBT alone arm will show lower levels of resistance in CBT, higher levels of homework compliance and therapeutic alliance, better moment-to-moment interpersonal process, and consequently superior outcomes - both post-treatment and at 6 and 12 month follow-ups.
Persons with serious mental illness (SMI) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The goals of this study are to test a treatment, Life Goals Collaborative Care to help promote health behavior change and improve mental health and physical health-related quality of life, as well as to get feedback from patients and providers on what is needed to help better coordinate the physical and mental health care of these patients.
Children or teens with mood swings or depression who have a parent with bipolar disorder are at high risk for developing bipolar disorder themselves. This study will test a family-based therapy aimed at preventing or reducing the early symptoms of bipolar disorder in high-risk children (ages 9-17). In a randomized trial, the investigators will compare two kinds of family-based treatment (one more and one less intensive) on the course of early mood symptoms and social functioning among high-risk children followed for up to 4 years. The investigators will examine the effects of family treatment on measures of neural activation using functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Cognitive behavior therapy is the most effective treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, the majority of treated patients remain symptomatic. The metacognitive therapy by Wells (1997) could achieve substantial gains in first pilot studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate this approach with a randomized controlled trial by comparing metacognitive therapy with exposure and response prevention for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Depression and anxiety are common in primary care practice and are associated with substantial reductions in health-related quality of life. This Project will test the comparative effectiveness of two on-line treatments for these conditions provided through the context of a Collaborative Care program: (1) moderated access to a proven-effective computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (CCBT) program; versus (2) moderated access to CCBT plus an Internet support group (CCBT+ISG). The Project will also compare the effectiveness of these treatments to PCPs' "usual care" for these conditions, and evaluate the adoption and maintenance of CCBT+ISG by practices following the conclusion of the trial to provide a greater understanding of how to best scale the delivery of these interventions into a variety of primary care settings.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of AZD6765 in patients with major depressive disorder who exhibit inadequate response to antidepressants. AZD6765 is a channel blocker of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) class of glutamate receptors.
MAN-BIOPSY pursues the concrete research question whether novel biological and psycho-physiological clusters or categories can be defined to improve treatment and minimize side effects in psychiatry, based on a synopsis of physiological, behavioural, genetic and endocrinological parameters. One major aspect of our research approach is its focuses on the identification of dysfunctions in fundamental information processing mechanisms and neurocomputational mechanisms, and is not restricted to symptom-oriented tasks. The main objectives of MAN-BIOPSY are therefore - to identify biological and psycho-physiological parameters for major depressive disorders and anxiety disorders, and - to identify predictive markers for treatment response and type/severity of side effects for these disorders.
The purpose of this study is to establish the normality of sonographic synovial measures in joints more affected in rheumatoid arthritis patients and establish, in those joints, a sonographic value of synovium predictive of rheumatoid arthritis.
This is a multiple-dose, double-blind, double-dummy, active-control, parallel-group, multi-center, safety and efficacy study.
