Predictors of Full Recovery in Individuals with Emotional Disorders: One-Year Follow-Up Secondary Analysis of the PsicAP Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionThe addition of TD-GCBT to TAU was the main predictor for full recovery. After controlling for depressive symptoms, individuals who were not taking antidepressants at baseline were twice as likely to achieve full recovery compared to those taking antidepressants. These findings may have implications for the standard treatment approach for emotional disorders in primary care. (Source: Cognitive Therapy and Research)

Relationships Between DSM-5 Personality Disorders and Early Maladaptive Schemas from the Perspective of Dimensional and Categorical Comorbidity
ConclusionsBy taking into account the clinical reality of dimensional and categorical comorbidity, this research allows for a more purified image of the relations between PDs and EMSs, uncontaminated by the influence of comorbid PDs. Hence, our results provide relevant insights for the theoretical assumptions underlying PD-targeted cognitive-behavioral and schema therapy. (Source: Cognitive Therapy and Research)

Stress-Related Exhaustion, Polygenic Cognitive Potential, and Cognitive Test Performance – A General Population Study
ConclusionStress-related exhaustion, especially if chronic, seems to relate to slower reactions. Co-occurring exhaustion and depression may not have additive effects on cognitive performance. High polygenic cognitive potential may not protect from or predispose to harmful effects of exhaustion or depression on reaction time. (Source: Cognitive Therapy and Research)

Beliefs About the Uncontrollability and Usefulness of Emotion in the Schizophrenia-Spectrum: Links to Emotion Regulation and Negative Symptoms
ConclusionsIndividuals in the schizophrenia-spectrum display superordinate beliefs that emotions are uncontrollable. These beliefs may influence emotion regulation strategy selection and success, which contributes to negative symptoms. Findings suggest that beliefs of emotional uncontrollability reflect a novel process related to both emotion regulation and negative symptoms that could be targeted in psychosocial treatments.
