Boosting affective control with bifrontal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): a proof-of-concept study in healthy individuals
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 4;169:104401. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104401. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAffective control refers to the ability to regulate emotions and is considered a marker of mental health. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, holds promise to enhance affective control. In this between-subjects study in healthy individuals, we investigated the effects of bifrontal tDCS on core processes and higher-level markers of affective control. As such, we assessed direct tDCS effects on emotional interference during an affective control task and indirect effects...

Guided LGBTQ-affirmative internet cognitive-behavioral therapy for sexual minority youth's mental health: A randomized controlled trial of a minority stress treatment approach
CONCLUSIONS: LGBTQ-affirmative ICBT represents a feasible and acceptable treatment. Future research can identify more efficacious approaches and modalities for engaging LGBTQ youth, especially those living under stigmatizing conditions, who might benefit most.PMID:37716019 | DOI:10.1016/j.brat.2023.104403 (Source: Behaviour Research and Therapy)

Facets of social problem-solving as moderators of the real-time relation between social rejection and negative affect in an at-risk sample
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 2;169:104398. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104398. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSocial rejection predicts negative affect, and theoretical work suggests that problem-solving deficits strengthen this relation in real-time. Nevertheless, few studies have explicitly tested this relation, particularly in samples at risk for suicide. This may be particularly important as social rejection and negative affect are significant predictors of suicide. The aim of the current study was to examine whether cognitive (i.e., perceiving problems as threats) and behavioral (i.e., avoidance) facets of problem-solving def...

Cognitive behavioural therapy for functional abdominal pain disorders in children and adolescents: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis provides low to moderate quality evidence that CBT could significantly improve clinical outcomes and QoL for children and adolescents with FAPDs with improvement persisting until short-term follow-up. However, there were discrepancies regarding CBT's effects at mid- and long-term follow-up across different outcomes. More high-quality and longer-duration studies are thus warranted to explore the effectiveness of CBT in the future.SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION ON PROSPERO: CRD42022369353.PMID:37696176 | DOI:10.1016/j.brat.2023.104397 (Source: Behaviour Research and Therapy)

Predictors of school-based cognitive behavior therapy outcome for youth with anxiety
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 1;169:104400. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104400. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMeta-analyses of school-based CBT have shown that prevention for anxiety symptoms typically report small but significant effects. There is limited knowledge regarding which youths may benefit most and least from such programs, and characteristics of youth who respond differentially to interventions of different intensity. The present study examined predictors of school-based CBT outcomes among 302 youths (mean age 14.0 years, SD 0.8, 84% female) who participated in a randomized waitlist-controlled trial comparing a 10-sess...

Global mental health and its social determinants: How should we intervene?
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Sep 4;169:104402. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104402. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper makes the case for expanding the field of global mental health to give more attention to the social determinants of mental health. It does so by describing challenges and opportunities for intervening to address these social determinants, and by presenting some potential approaches to the choice, design and evaluation of such interventions, especially in low and middle-income countries. Challenges include distal interventions, limits to the modifiability of some social and economic determinants, poorly understoo...
