A single-session VR intervention addressing self-compassion and self-criticism with and without perspective change: Results of a randomized controlled experiment
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Dec 20;173:104466. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104466. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExcessive self-criticism is an important transdiagnostic psychological factor. In contrast, self-compassion can contribute to the resilience and recovery of clinical populations, making this an important target for treatment. Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to improve existing interventions as it allows for personalized roleplays that can be experienced from different perspectives, by using the novel VR technique of perspective change. We investigated the effects of a VR intervention on self-criticism and self-comp...

A novel approach for constructing personalized networks from longitudinal perceived causal relations

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPersonalized networks of psychological symptoms aim to advance therapy by identifying treatment targets for specific patients. Statistical relations in such networks can be estimated from intensive longitudinal data, but their causal interpretation is limited by strong statistical assumptions. An alternative is to create networks from patient perceptions, which comes with other limitations such as retrospective bias. We introduce the Longitudinal Perceived Causal Problem Networks (L-PECAN) approach to address both these c...

Effects of social buffering on fear extinction in adolescent rats

The present study investigated whether social buffering influences the expression and extinction of learned fear in adolescence, a developmental period of diminished fear inhibition and increased social interaction. Quality of maternal care and degree of social investigation were examined as factors that may influence social buffering. In adolescence, male rats were fear conditi...

Attentional heterogeneity in social anxiety disorder: Evidence from Hidden Markov Models
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Dec 17;173:104461. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104461. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is some evidence for heterogeneity in attentional processes among individuals with social anxiety. However, there is limited work considering how attentional processes may differ as a mechanism in a naturalistic task-based context (e.g., public speaking). In this secondary analysis we tested attentional heterogeneity among individuals diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (N = 21) in the context of a virtual reality exposure treatment study. Participants completed a public speaking challenge in an immersive 360°-v...

The bidirectional associations between caregiver and child symptoms in the parent-led treatment stepping together for children after trauma
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that caregivers and children can impact each other's responses to a parent-led child trauma-focused treatment. Notably, children with caregivers who were less affected by their own emotional reactions exhibited greater improvement in both PTS and depression. Supporting the caregivers may benefit both children and caregivers.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04073862; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04073862.PMID:38128401 | DOI:10.1016/j.brat.2023.104459 (Source: Behaviour Research and Therapy)

Effectiveness of behavioral activation and mindfulness in increasing reward sensitivity and reducing depressive symptoms - A randomized controlled trial
Behav Res Ther. 2023 Dec 13;173:104455. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2023.104455. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReward insensitivity is a potential key mechanism regarding the maintenance of depression. However, there is a lack of research examining and comparing the effectiveness of different psychological interventions in modifying reward insensitivity. This four-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated a two-week online intervention. After screening for eligibility, a total of 336 participants were randomized, and 224 participated per-protocol. Participants were assigned to either a) behavioral activation, b) mindfulne...
