Emotional and non-emotional mental imagery and auditory verbal hallucinations (hearing voices): A systematic review of imagery assessment tools
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2023 Oct 31. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2920. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is unknown to what extent mental imagery and auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are related. Trials evaluating this issue used both emotional and non-emotional mental imagery tools, thereby complicating outcomes comparisons. Therefore, the present study aimed to systematically review the literature on mental imagery in individuals with AVHs to (1) inventory imagery assessment tools used in this population, (2) to collect information on the relation between emotional and non-emotional mental imagery in all sensory domains and AV...

Cognitive factors underlying the impact of postmigration stressors on subjective well-being: Well-being comparisons and self-efficacy
CONCLUSION: Aversive well-being comparisons and general self-efficacy seem to play a significant role in the adverse effects of postmigration stressors on subjective well-being. Longitudinal research is needed to examine the directional dynamics between general self-efficacy, well-being comparisons and postmigration stressors.PMID:37897096 | DOI:10.1002/cpp.2928 (Source: Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy)

Resilience and depressive symptoms in inpatients with depression: A cross-lagged panel model
CONCLUSIONS: The current study further supports that resilience is related not only to fewer mental health problems cross-sectionally but also is sensitive to change and a predictor of treatment outcome in patients with mental disorders. Given this pivotal role in mental health, the current findings highlight the importance of prevention and intervention approaches for promoting resilience in the general population and in persons with mental disorders in particular.PMID:37885282 | DOI:10.1002/cpp.2926 (Source: Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy)

Psychometric evaluation of the Swedish Traumatic Grief Inventory Self-Report Plus (TGI-SR+) in bereaved parents
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2023 Oct 23. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2922. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe International Classification of Diseases Eleventh Edition (ICD-11), and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), now include prolonged grief disorder (PGD). Since criteria for PGD in both classification systems differ from prior proposed grief disorders and each other, the validation of a single instrument to screen for prolonged grief (PG) symptoms of both new diagnoses is critical for bereavement research and care. Therefore, we evaluated the psychometric properties of ...
