Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate two independent Virtual Reality interventions for self-criticism and self-compassion and the use of perspective-change in these interventions.
This randomised control trial aims to determine the efficacy of a two-week, online compassionate imagery intervention on improving veterinarian mental wellbeing. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive the intervention immediately or after a 10-week study period. Self-report questionnaires will be used at four time points to measure change on a range of psychological variables.
In this pilot study, the effect of a group intervention targeting self-criticism in adolescents in a clinical child- and adolescent psychiatric outpatient setting will be examined using a single-case experimental design (AB). Participants will be randomized to multiple baseline with weekly measures. Our primary outcomes, measured weekly, are self-criticism, nonsuicidal self-injury and symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as an individually chosen behavior driven by self-criticism. Secondary outcomes are self-compassion, psychological flexibility, quality of life and functioning. In addition to the weekly administered questionnaires, before and after measures, and 3- and 6-month follow-up will be collected. After the treatment, participants will also be interviewed about their experiences of targeting self-criticism.
The purpose of this study is to assess the interplay between self-criticism and symptom severity in patients undergoing psychotherapeutic treatment.
This trial is a randomized controlled study aiming to investigate the effect of an 8-week internet-based intervention focused on acceptance and compassion or a wait-list control group. Primary treatments outcomes are Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ), Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and Pain Disability index (PDI). Secondary outcomes were Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS-S), Anxiety sensitivity index (ASI), Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI), Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) and Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ). A six month follow-up was conducted. Findings showed significantly greater levels of acceptance (CPAQ), self-compassion (SCS) and reduction in activity limitation (PDI) measured with the primary outcomes for the treatment group after the intervention with effect sizes raging from small to moderate and these results were maintained at six-month follow-up.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate an intervention, Supporting Survivors and Self: An Intervention for Social Supports of Survivors of Partner Abuse and Sexual Aggression (SSS). SSS trains potential recipients of IPV or SA disclosure on the best methods of responding to a victim's disclosure. Consenting college students will be randomized into the SSS intervention or a wait-list control condition. Evaluation data will be multi-informant (i.e., data from both informal supports and victims) and multi-method (i.e., qualitative and quantitative). The investigators hypothesize that individuals receiving the SSS intervention, compared to individuals in the wait-list control condition, will provide less negative and more positive social reactions to victims' disclosure.
This uncontrolled pilot seeks to develop a novel intervention based on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), that reduces self-criticism and improves psychological wellbeing. The researchers aim to assess the the acceptability and feasibility of providing such an intervention within a primary mental health care service; and a preliminary indication of the the effectiveness of this intervention?
In this study, people who suffer from strong self-critical tendencies will be randomized to two study conditions. The first group receives an account to an internet-based self-help intervention. The second group is a waiting control group. In both conditions additional care or treatment is allowed. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of an internet-based self-help intervention on depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms compared to a waiting list. Assessments are at baseline, 8-week and 6-months post-randomization. After 8 weeks, participants in the waiting control group get also access to the intervention and fill out questionnaires after 8 weeks again.
