A multiple needs framework for climate change anxiety interventions.
Climate change anxiety is a growing problem for individual well-being the world over. However, psychological interventions to address climate change anxiety may have unintended effects on outcomes other than individual well-being, such as group cohesion and pro-environmental behavior. In order to address these complexities, we outline a multiple needs framework of climate change anxiety interventions, which can be used to analyze interventions in terms of their effects on individual, social, and environmental outcomes. We use this framework to contextualize a systematic review of the literature detailing the effects of cli...

It matters not only where you come from but also where you are going, and the interplay between the two: Reply to Huppert (2022).
Two main sources of confusion dominate research on trait-like (between-patients) and state-like (within-patient) effects in psychotherapy. The first is that being higher than another person on a given construct (between-individuals differences) has the same statistical and clinical implications as showing increases from one time point to the next on that construct (within-individual changes). However, research shows that it is a mistake to mix together the two effects. The second is overlooking the interplay between trait-like (between-individuals) differences and state-like (within-individual) changes in the same construc...

Precision medicine requires precise definitions and theory: Commentary on Zilcha-Mano (2020).
Zilcha-Mano (2020) suggests that making a distinction between trait-like and state-like (TLSL) processes is the key to developing personalized treatments. In the current commentary, I question the novelty of the TLSL concept and emphasize the importance of having clearly defined, psychometrically sound concepts applied to psychotherapy research for it to advance. I raise questions regarding application of TLSL to psychotherapy on conceptual and methodological grounds, with an emphasis that answers to these questions are needed to advance the TLSL distinction.
