Facing Eating Disorder Fears: An Open Trial Adapting Prolonged Exposure to the Treatment of Eating Disorders
Behav Ther. 2024 Mar;55(2):347-360. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.07.008. Epub 2023 Jul 22.ABSTRACTEating disorders (EDs) are maintained by core fears, which lead to avoidance behaviors, such as food avoidance or compensatory behaviors. Previously tested exposure-based treatments for EDs have generally focused on proximal outcomes (e.g., food), rather than addressing core fears (e.g., fear of weight gain and its consequences). The current study tested the feasibility and initial clinical efficacy of 10 sessions of imaginal and in vivo exposure for core ED fears (termed "Facing Eating Disorder Fears"), mainly fear of weight gain...

Tackling Costly Fearful Avoidance Using Pavlovian Counterconditioning
This study supports application of a simple counterconditioning technique, shows that its efficacy transfers to more complex avoidance situations, and suggests treatment may benefit from increasing reward drive in combination with extinction to overcome avoidance. Application in a clinical sample is a necessary next step to assess clinical utility of counterconditioning.PMID:38418046 | DOI:10.1016/j.beth.2023.07.013 (Source: Behavior Therapy)

Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Clinical Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes in a Naturalistic Setting
Behav Ther. 2024 Mar;55(2):376-390. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.07.010. Epub 2023 Jul 27.ABSTRACTBody-focused repetitive behavior disorders, including trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) and excoriation (skin picking) disorder, typically emerge in early adolescence, but little is known about the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of these disorders in young people, particularly in real-world clinical settings. Participants were 63 children and adolescents (51 girls; age range 9-17) with a diagnosis of trichotillomania (n = 33) and/or skin-picking disorder (n = 33) attending a specialist outpatient clinic in ...

Family Accommodation in Intensive/Residential Treatment for Adults With OCD: A Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis
This study examined (1) possible sociodemographic and clinical correlates of FA in adults presenting for intensive/residential treatment, and (2) temporal relationships between FA and OCD symptom severity during acute treatment and follow-up phases. Adult patients (N = 315) completed baseline measures of FA and OCD symptom severity at admission to IRT. Follow-up data were collected from a subset of participants (n = 111) at discharge, 1-month, and 6-month follow-up. Cross-lagged panel analysis showed that changes in OCD symptom severity from admission to discharge predicted changes in FA from discharge to 1-month follow-up...

Trajectories of Perceived Gratitude and Change Following Relationship Interventions: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Lower-Income, Help-Seeking Couples
Behav Ther. 2024 Mar;55(2):401-411. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.07.014. Epub 2023 Aug 14.ABSTRACTThe current study was designed to advance basic and applied research on perceived gratitude from one's partner in established couple relationships. From a three-arm randomized controlled trial involving 615 lower-income, help-seeking couples (N = 1,224 individuals), study analyses examined (a) the trajectory of perceived gratitude from one's partner among couples assigned to the wait-list condition (i.e., absent of any intervention), and (b) changes in perceived gratitude for individuals assigned to either the OurRelationship (OR)...

Community-Delivered Evidence-Based Practice and Usual Care for Adolescent Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Examining Mechanistic Outcomes
This study evaluated the extent to which a community-delivered EBP and usual care (UC) for adolescents with ADHD produce differential changes in theorized behavioral, psychological, and cognitive mechanisms of ADHD. A randomized community-based trial was conducted with double randomization of adolescent and community therapists to EBP delivery supports (Supporting Teens' Autonomy Daily [STAND]) versus UC delivery. Participants were 278 culturally diverse adolescents (ages 11-17) with ADHD and caregivers. Mechanistic outcomes were measured at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up using parent-rated, observational, and tas...

Impact of three variants of prolonged exposure therapy on comorbid diagnoses in patients with childhood abuse-related PTSD
We examined the treatment effects on co-morbid diagnoses of depressive, anxiety, obsessive compulsive, substance abuse, psychotic, eating and personality disorders in a sample of patients with PTSD related to childhood abuse. Outcomes were assessed with clinical interviews at baseline, post-treatment and at 6- and 12-month follow-up. All variants of PE led to a decrease from baseline to post-treatment in diagnoses of depressive, anxiety, substance use and personality disorders. Improvements were sustained during follow-up. We found an additional decrease in the number of patients that fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of a...

Effectiveness of group cognitive behavioral therapy for depression in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of delivery by different healthcare professionals
This study addresses the gap in understanding the varied effectiveness of group cognitive behavioral therapy (gCBT) delivered by different professionals. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluate gCBT and compare it to inactive controls in adults with a clinical diagnosis of depression. A total of 33 RCTs were included for analysis. In the overall analysis, 'profession of gCBT deliverer' was not a significant moderator in the meta-regression model (p = 0.57). For people without comorbidity, the overall effect size estimate was -0.69 (95% CI, -...
