Filter by:Parents of children with long-term health conditions (LTCs) can experience shame related to parenting. Whilst self-compassion interventions (SCIs) can reduce parental shame, this has not been studied with parents of children with LTCs. Perfectionistic cognitions may also moderate the effects of SCIs. This study will test an online SCI with parents of children with type 1 diabetes, epilepsy or asthma. Parents will complete online questionnaires pre- and post a SCI/control intervention. Hypotheses will be tested using analysis of covariance and moderation analysis. Findings will enhance knowledge of vulnerability factors to distress for parents of children with LTCs, and inform interventions.
The current project will develop and test a brief 2-session shame intervention in individuals diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD). Using a non-concurrent multiple baseline design, the investigators will determine whether the brief shame intervention leads to reductions in trait self-reported shame and state shame in response to an in vivo stressor task. The investigators will also evaluate the effect of changes in shame on trait SAD symptoms.
Throughout the last 10 years Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) has evolved as one of the most effective, culturally sensitive trauma interventions. In the present study the effectiveness of NET delivered by trained health personnel in a sample of survivors of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) who suffer from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) will be assessed. Structured baseline, 3 and 6 month follow up interviews will be administered to assess the main outcome measures PTSD and shame. The trial will take place in Goma, DR Congo, where SGBV and its sequelae has been a major problem.
The goal of this project is to determine if a 6-session psychotherapy intervention will help Veterans feel less deployment-related guilt and less distress related to their guilt. Half of the participants will receive the guilt focused intervention and half will receive a supportive intervention. A supplemental pilot study added in FY2021 will examine the intervention for pandemic-related guilt events.
When people feel shame, they experience negative thoughts about themselves ("I'm a bad person") and urges to avoid others. Shame is related to many psychological problems, such as depression, social anxiety, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Because there are currently no well-tested treatments for shame, this study will examine the utility of Self-Acceptance Group Therapy (SAGT). SAGT is short-term group therapy that addresses shame specifically. Changes in shame, mood, and behavior will be examined over the course of treatment and a one-month follow-up. Based on theory and existing evidence, Hypothesis 1a is that individuals with elevated initial levels of shame will report improvements on all outcome measures (e.g., reductions in trait shame, increases in self-acceptance) from pre-treatment to post-treatment, and Hypothesis 1b is that these gains will be maintained at follow-up one month after treatment completion.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate feasibility of modularized delivery of the Impact of Crime (IOC) group intervention with jail inmates, and obtain preliminary data on its effectiveness in reducing post-release recidivism, substance abuse, and HIV risk behavior.
This pilot study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the Impact of Crime (IOC) group intervention for jail inmates. The hypothesis is that participants in IOC will show decreases in criminogenic thinking, decreases in shame, increases in guilt, and increases in empathy, which in turn will be reflected in reduced recidivism (official records and self report), relative to those randomly assigned to a treatment as usual group.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Impact of Crime (IOC) group intervention with jail inmates reduces post-release recidivism, substance abuse, and HIV risk behavior.
