Physical Exercise Transforms the Topography and Increases the Invulnerability of the Symptom Network of Depression-Anxiety in the Elderly
CONCLUSIONS: Physical exercise affected core symptoms of depression-anxiety and the interactions of symptoms. Targeting central or bridge nodes may be an effective intervention for alleviating the comorbidity. Increased network invulnerability manifested the positive effects of physical exercise.PMID:38600811 | DOI:10.1002/cpp.2971 (Source: Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy)

Perfectionistic Self-Presentation and Psychopathology: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2024 Mar-Apr;31(2):e2966. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2966.ABSTRACTDecades of research implicate perfectionism as a risk factor for psychopathology. Most research has focused on trait perfectionism (i.e., needing to be perfect), but there is a growing focus on perfectionistic self-presentation (PSP) (i.e., the need to seem perfect). The current article reports the results of a meta-analysis of previous research on the facets of PSP and psychopathology outcomes (either clinical diagnoses of psychiatric disorders or symptoms of these disorders). A systematic literature search retrieved 30 relevant studies (37 s...

Treatment Gap in Mental Health Care for Victims of Road Traffic Accidents
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2024 Mar-Apr;31(2):e2970. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2970.ABSTRACTRoad traffic accidents (RTAs) are among the most frequent negative life-events. About one in five RTA survivors is susceptible to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Knowledge about needs for, and usage of, mental health services (MHSs) may improve options for care for RTA victims. The current study aimed to assess rates of victims using different MHSs, including psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and support groups, and to explore correlates of needs for and use of these MHSs. Further, we aimed to estimate the treatment gap in post-RTA care, de...

Evaluating Suicide Risk Stratification in Outpatient Settings: A Vignette-Based Approach
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2024 Mar-Apr;31(2):e2965. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2965.ABSTRACTSuicide risk assessment and stratification are a key suicide prevention strategy in mental health care systems that treat military service members and veterans. The aim of the current mixed-method project was to address a gap in our knowledge as to how therapists make these important clinical decisions. This manuscript reports the results of a project during which six vignettes were developed reflecting varying levels of risk according to the Rocky Mountain MIRECC Risk Stratification Table. Mental health therapists were asked to evaluate the r...

Deriving the Transdiagnostic Scales From the Personality Assessment Inventory and SPECTRA: Indices of Psychopathology: A Demonstration
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2024 Mar-Apr;31(2):e2967. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2967.ABSTRACTTransdiagnostic models of psychopathology address many of the shortcomings common to categorical diagnostic systems. These empirically derived models conceptualize psychopathology as a few broad interrelated and hierarchically arranged dimensions, with an overarching general psychopathology dimension, the p-factor, at the apex. While transdiagnostic models are gaining prominence in mental health research, the lack of available tools has limited their clinical translation. The present study explored the potential of creating transdiagnostic sca...

Do Patient's Interpersonal Problems Improve Following Metacognitive Therapy? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2024 Mar-Apr;31(2):e2973. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2973.ABSTRACTMetacognitive therapy (MCT) aims to modify dysfunctional metacognitions that are thought to be universal determinants of emotional distress and psychological dysfunction more generally. MCT is an effective treatment for emotional distress symptoms, but less is known about its effect for other types of psychological problems. Interpersonal problems are common in psychological disorders and should be improved following psychotherapy. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of trials on the effects associated with MCT for in...
