Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the transdiagnostic program Super Skills for Life (SSL). This protocol targets children aged 8 to 12 with emotional problems (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and lack of social skills). SSL consists of eight sessions targeting common risk factors for internalizing disorders such as cognitive distortions, avoidance, emotional management, low self-esteem, social skills deficits, and coping strategies. The present research focuses on assessing the effectiveness of SSL applied online (through a virtual platform).
Super Skills for Life (SSL) is a transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral protocol developed for children aged 6 to 12 with anxiety and comorbid problems (e.g., depression, low self-esteem, and lack of social skills). SSL consists of eight sessions targeting common risk factors for internalizing disorders such as cognitive distortions, avoidance, emotional management, low self-esteem, social skills deficits and coping strategies. The aim of the study is to investigate the short- and long-term effects of SSL on internalizing and externalizing symptoms in Spanish children attending the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
Quantitative assessment of the activation of brain areas by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fRMI) in the face of positive and negative emotional stimuli using audiovisual materials validated for the local population and its correlation with degrees of emotional disorder based on a score obtained by a validated questionnaire for the local population, in 16 volunteers from the city of La Rioja in Argentina.

The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children (UP-C) is a transdiagnostic and emotion-focused cognitive-behavioral group intervention for children aged 6-12 years old with emotion disorders (i.e., anxious and/or mood disorders) and their parents. UP-C consists of 15 weekly group sessions and unifies cognitive-behavioral, contextual (e.g., mindfulness) and parental training techniques, for parents and children, aimed at reducing the intensity and frequency of strong and aversive emotional experiences in children and their clinical symptomatology. The present study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of the UP-C in the Portuguese population in reducing children's anxiety/depression symptoms. It also aims to investigate which mechanisms explain the therapeutic change. Participants will be recruited at child mental health services and schools from Central Portugal and also through online dissemination of the study. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted in a sample of children aged 6-13 years old with emotional disorders and their parents in order to answer the critical question of whether the UP-C is more efficacious in reducing children's symptomatology than a psychoeducational group intervention (active control group). Once the eligibility criteria are met (assessed by the project researchers) parents and children will be randomly assigned to one of two study conditions: 1. experimental group (i.e., children and parents who benefit from the UP-C program). 2. control group (i.e., children who benefit from a psychoeducational intervention program, named "ABC of Emotions"). Parents and children from both groups will complete several psychometrically robust and developmentally appropriate measures at baseline (T0), mid-treatment (only at week 7 of the UP-C; T1), post treatment (T2) and at 3 months follow-up (T3).
The purpose of this study is to examine patient effectiveness outcomes of a transdiagnostic treatment for youth emotional disorders, implemented in a partial hospitalization program (PHP). Participants will be youth between ages 6 to 17 and their families, as well as clinicians, participating in the PHP program at Children's Hospital Colorado. Additionally, the research team will study modifications to the transdiagnostic intervention that are required to feasibly and effectively deliver it in a PHP setting.
This multicenter randomized controlled study will appraise the effectiveness and cost-utility of an e-health ecosystem with integrated and stepped psychosocial services that will be compared with the usual psychosocial care. The study is developed in the acute survival phase among breast cancer survivors. The outcomes of both interventions will be compared in terms of the amount of waiting time to receive psychosocial care and changes in several psychosocial variables. Finally, a comparative economic analysis will be conducted in other relevant psychosocial and health parameters. The e-health platform is expected to outperform usual care in the aforementioned indicators, while reaching high acceptability and usability by survivors, and additionally reducing costs for health providers.
The present work aims to develop a randomized clinical trial with a sample of 150 patients diagnosed with at least one of the following emotional disorder: somatoform disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and depression disorder. Participants are tested by several self-reports related to the emocional disorders mentioned in a repeated measures design, pre and post treatment. The investigators think this study will demonstrate that brief psychological treatments should be prioritized over pharmacological treatment for such pathologies in the Primary or Secondary Care context to improve the patient´s quality of life.
This study represents the first research program to assess the efficacy of transdiagnostic cognitive behavior therapy (T-CBT) delivered via internet for anxiety and depression in adolescents. The primary aim of the study was to implement the program AMTE (Aprende a Manejar tus Emociones [Learn to Manage Your Emotions]), an internet delivered T-CBT protocol designed to target both anxiety and depression symptoms and disorders (major depression disorder, dysthymic disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder) in adolescents, and to establish its preliminary efficacy on anxiety and depressive symptomatology. A secondary objective is to demonstrate its potential effect regarding: (a) transdiagnostic measures associated with etiology of emotional disorders including negative affect, anxiety sensitivity, and emotional avoidance, and (b) positive factors including satisfaction with life and positive affect. It is expected that the T-CBT condition will be more effective than the waitlist (WL) control group on the primary (anxiety and depression) and secondary (transdiagnostic and positive factors) outcome measures.
Background: Bypassing a reductionist view of existing diagnostic categories, ontological addiction theory (OAT) is a new psychological model of human functioning and mental illness. Ontological addiction is a maladaptive condition that stems from an erroneous belief in an inherently existing Self or "I", which is deemed to be the root of all suffering. Five experts from four different countries have created the Ontological Addiction Scale (OAS) to measure the condition and its impact on people's lives. The purpose of this study is to test this scale, evaluating levels of ontological addiction in individuals suffering from emotional or mood disorder, and assess its psychometric properties. Methods: This trial will be conducted in compliance with the COSMIN Guidelines. The investigators will collect data from 400 individuals, aged 18 to 70, suffering from emotional or mood disorder, referred to the Therapeutic Center for Mood and Emotional Disorders for an 8-week-mindfulness-based-intervention. Patients will complete the OAS at three time points: one month before the beginning of the therapy, within one week prior to the beginning of therapy, and one year after the end of the therapy. This scale will be completed in conjunction with other practice assessments relating to the psychotherapeutic program. The psychometric properties of the OAS will be assessed. Discussion: The Investigators aim to validate a scale assessing a psychological dimension as the root of all mental disorders. The present study may contribute to overcoming limitations of categorical understanding of mental disorders, thus moving toward a more encompassing dimensional comprehension. The scale is responsive to current thinking in modern psychiatry, and it is envisaged that its validation will deeply impact research and care perspectives
