What role do early life experiences play in eating disorders? The impact of parenting style, temperament and early maladaptive schemas
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the present study found preliminary support for a linear relationship where perceived parenting style predicts temperament, which predicts early maladaptive schema levels, which predicts eating disorder symptoms. The present study was the first to propose and test this model; however, further research is required to confirm the nature and extent of this relationship.PMID:37654072 | DOI:10.1002/cpp.2904 (Source: Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy)

An assessment of the psychometric properties and psychological correlates of the Greek COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale (C-19ASS)
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2023 Aug 16. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2895. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn Greece, the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with social isolation, economic crisis, considerable unemployment, and an escalation of psychological distress. Given the potential of COVID-19 to engender a long-lasting impact on mental health, validating the COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale (C-19ASS) may be beneficial in determining if fear-based behaviors may persist post-pandemic. This is a psychometric study examining the C-19ASS features across a general sample of Greeks (n = 912; female = 78%; mean age = 32.35, ±9.25). The Greek...

Innovative moments with young patients treated for depression: An analysis of post-therapy interviews
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that it is possible to code IMs, identified retrospectively, based on post-therapy interviews with adolescents. Meaningful differences were found between recovered compared to unchanged cases. Therapeutic recovery was associated with a higher focus on the self and more specificity in clients' representations of the change process.PMID:37591725 | DOI:10.1002/cpp.2896 (Source: Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy)
