A randomised controlled evaluation of an online perfectionism intervention for people with disordered eating - how perfect does it need to be?

This research evaluates a "backdoor" approach to early intervention by investigating whether internet cognitive behaviour therapy for perfectionism can significantly improve disordered eating. Additionally, we investigated whether a more interactive intervention impacted outcomes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy without medication for schizophrenia
CONCLUSIONS: This review is the first attempt to systematically synthesise the evidence about CBT delivered without medication to people with schizophrenia. The limited number of studies and low to very low certainty of the evidence prevented any strong conclusions. An important limitation in the available studies was that participants in the CBT without medication group (about 35% on average) received antipsychotic treatment, highlighting the challenges of this approach. Further high-quality RCTs are needed to provide additional data on the feasibility and efficacy of CBT without antipsychotics.PMID:38323679 | PMC:PMC1084...

Trauma-focused therapy retention among military sexual trauma survivors: relationship with veterans' sexual or gender minority identification
Cogn Behav Ther. 2024 Feb 6:1-13. doi: 10.1080/16506073.2024.2313740. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMilitary servicemembers identifying as sexual and gender minorities (SGM) are at increased risk for military sexual trauma (MST) exposure and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Although evidence-based treatments can reduce symptoms of PTSD, treatment attrition is concerning. Unfortunately, evaluations of such approaches with veterans identifying as SGM are currently restricted to case studies offering limited information regarding treatment completion. Both historic and current contextual factors related to military and ...

Protocol of a 12-week eHealth programme designed to reduce concerns about falling in community-living older people: Own Your Balance randomised controlled trial
Introduction
Concerns about falling (CaF) are common in older people and have been associated with avoidance of activities of daily life. Exercise designed to prevent falls can reduce CaF, but the effects are usually short-lived. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can reduce CaF for longer but is not readily available in the community and unlikely to prevent falls. A multidomain intervention that combines CBT, motivational interviewing and exercise could be the long-term solution to treat CaF and reduce falls in older people with CaF. This paper describes the design of a randomised controlled trial to test the effectivene...

An investigation of the role of estradiol in fear reduction during a single session of exposure therapy
Cogn Behav Ther. 2024 Feb 1:1-13. doi: 10.1080/16506073.2024.2313743. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch suggests that estradiol may moderate fear extinction. It is unclear whether these results generalize to exposure therapy. The aim of the current study was to determine whether estradiol moderates outcomes in exposure therapy among women with anxiety disorders. Participants were 35 women with a primary diagnosis of an anxiety disorder who participated in the study as part of routine care at an anxiety specialty clinic. Endogenous estradiol was assessed via saliva. They provided subjective distress ratings before (pre...
