Grouping motivational interviewing is only effective for younger patients with alcohol dependence in the rehabilitation stage
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 Dec 20. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01736-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlcohol dependence (AD) is a risk factor for death and disability. Relapse prevention for AD has been exclusively dominated by psychotherapy intervention for many years. Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy of group motivational interviewing (MI) on the psychological craving for alcohol and depressive symptoms in AD patients in the rehabilitation phase, as well as the impact of age. The participants included 108 individuals with AD in the rehabilitation phase. All participants were assigned to the MI interv...

Linking social motivation, general motivation, and social cognition to interpersonal functioning in schizophrenia: insights from exploratory graph analysis
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 Dec 19. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01733-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMotivation in general, and social motivation in particular are important for interpersonal functioning in individuals with schizophrenia. Still, their roles after accounting for social cognition, are not well understood. The sample consisted of 147 patients with schizophrenia. General motivation was measured using the Behavioral inhibition/activation scale (BIS/BAS). Social motivation was measured by Passive social withdrawal and Active social avoidance items from PANSS. Interpersonal functioning was evaluated wit...

Improving outcome of treatment-resistant schizophrenia: effects of cognitive remediation therapy
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 Dec 19. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01731-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTreatment-Resistant Schizophrenia (TRS) represents a main clinical issue, associated with worse psychopathological outcomes, a more disrupted neurobiological substrate, and poorer neurocognitive performance across several domains, especially in verbal abilities. If cognitive impairment is a major determinant of patients' functional outcomes and quality of life, targeting cognitive dysfunction becomes even more crucial in TRS patients in order to minimize cognitive and functional deterioration. However, although Co...

AbstractTreatment-Resistant Schizophrenia (TRS) represents a main clinical issue, associated with worse psychopathological outcomes, a more disrupted neurobiological substrate, and poorer neurocognitive performance across several domains, especially in verbal abilities. If cognitive impairment is a major determinant of patients ’ functional outcomes and quality of life, targeting cognitive dysfunction becomes even more crucial in TRS patients in order to minimize cognitive and functional deterioration. However, although Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) represents the best available tool to treat cognitive dysfunction ...
