Filter by:Subject Population Our study's target population is people with pathological dissociation in the community. Research Design A pilot randomized waitlist-controlled trial will investigate the effects of an online psychoeducation program on coping, symptom management, and self-efficacy of people with pathological dissociation immediately (posttest-1) and 2-month (posttest-2) post-intervention. Supplementary semi-structured interviews will be conducted for process evaluation. The analysis and reporting of the trial will strictly follow the CONSORT guidelines. Instrument The primary outcome of our study is the coping ability of individuals with pathological dissociation, which will be assessed by the Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief-COPE). The secondary outcome measures are dissociative symptoms, emotional regulation, and self-efficacy, which would be assessed by the Dissociative Experiences Scale-Taxon (DES-T), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) accordingly. Procedure The online psychoeducation program is developed based on an integrative theoretical framework that integrates the Stress and Coping model, Cognitive-Behavioural Theory, Bandura's self-efficacy theory, and findings of our previous feasibility studies on this psychoeducational program. Participants will be recruited via posting on social media and online forums. A 16-session online psychoeducation program will be delivered to the participants in eight weeks.
Case series design with participants with psychosis with a history of interpersonal trauma/abuse and current distressing auditory verbal hallucinations and dissociative experience. Participants were offered up to 24 therapy sessions over a 6-month intervention window.
Connection to Environment with Cognitive Therapy (CONNECT): A Single-Case Experimental Design Exploring Dissociative Experiences and Voices Emerging empirical evidence has suggested that dissociation is a robust determinant of voice-hearing in psychosis, and that dissociation mediates the link between trauma and voices. Despite the emerging evidence-base, targeted therapeutic interventions focusing on dissociation remain largely untested. The aim of the current study is to investigate whether targeting dissociation leads to improvements in distressing voices in people with a history of trauma. This will be done by delivering an eight session intervention called 'CONNECT' to six individuals within the Glasgow Psychological Trauma Service (GPTS) who hear voices, have experienced trauma and are dissociating. The intervention will focus on learning strategies to manage dissociation. It is hypothesised that reduced levels of dissociation will be associated with reduction in the frequency and distress associated with hearing voices. This study will use a randomized multiple baseline single-case experimental design, meaning that participants will be randomly allocated to a baseline of two, three or four weeks and then will begin eight weeks of Connection to Environment Cognitive Therapy (CONNECT). As well as daily measures during baseline and intervention phases, there will be four assessment points (baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up). The study will take approximately three months plus follow-up one month after therapy ends. Individual levels of dissociation and voices will be compared during baseline and intervention periods using visual analysis and Tau-U. This study will contribute to the evidence-based for dissociation interventions targeting distressing voices among this population. It serves to investigate the proposed mechanism in a clinical population using a therapeutic intervention. It will therefore inform clinicians of the effectiveness and feasibility of using such strategies in clinical practice and may have good generalizability to practice.
Our study aims at contributing to a valid appraisal of the magnitude of naltrexone efficacy as an antidissociative agent by using a double-blind randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to perform an evaluation of a trauma-focused short-term intervention (Narrative Exposure Therapy; Schauer, M., Neuner, F. & Elbert, T.) on a variety of clinical outcome measures (PTSD, Depression, Somatic Complaints, Dissociation) in women after sexual exploitation and women trafficking.
The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the effects of two body therapy approaches in women who have experienced child sexual abuse.
