Peak experiences during insight mindfulness meditation retreats and their salutary and adverse impact: A prospective matched-controlled intervention study.
Conclusions: Peak experiences that resulted from meditation retreats were primarily pleasant and had a large salutary impact postretreat. Inconsistent with conclusions from uncontrolled retrospective studies, findings document that intensive insight mindfulness meditation training in retreats may not contribute to unpleasant peak experiences and even when they occurred their impact was typically more salutary than adverse.

Multiculturalism: A paradigmatic force in psychology.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol 92(4), Apr 2024, 199-201; doi:10.1037/ccp0000876Prior to the advent of multiculturalism, mainstream psychology mirrored the Euro-American culture. In contrast, multiculturalism acts as a prism that reveals the diversity in the human condition. Since most empirical research is still conducted on Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic populations, we need to construct a representative map of the human psychological and behavioral phenome. To work toward this goal, multicultural psychologists go beyond personal transformation and openness to the other. They q...

A group-based transdiagnostic sleep and circadian treatment for major depressive disorder: A randomized controlled trial.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol 92(3), Mar 2024, 135-149; doi:10.1037/ccp0000869Objective: Sleep and circadian disturbance is highly comorbid with a range of psychological disorders, especially major depressive disorder (MDD). In view of the complexity of sleep and circadian problems in MDD, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a group-based transdiagnostic intervention for sleep and circadian dysfunction (TranS-C) for improving depressive symptoms and sleep and circadian functions. Method: One hundred fifty-two adults diagnosed with comorbid MDD and sleep and circadian dysfunctions were randomiz...

Treatment credibility as a mechanism of change in cognitive behavioral therapy: Effects on depression and anxiety.
Conclusions: This study is the first to find significant within-person effects of TC in session-wise analyses. This lends preliminary support to the notion of TC as a mechanism of change. The lack of significant findings at the five-session interval is discussed considering the specific design used in this study.

Changes in positive and negative affect in psychotherapy for depression and anxiety.
Conclusions: Results did not support a reciprocal relationship between positive affect and symptoms of depression and anxiety since positive affect predicted depression and anxiety symptoms but not vice versa. Results supported a reciprocal relationship between negative affect and symptoms of depression and anxiety since negative affect predicted depression and anxiety symptoms in PAT, and depression and anxiety symptoms predicted negative affect in both treatment conditions.

Predicting effects of a digital stress intervention for patients with depressive symptoms: Development and validation of meta-analytic prognostic models using individual participant data.
Conclusions: Meta-analytic prognostic models applied to individual participant data can be used to predict differential benefits of a digital stress intervention as an indirect treatment for depression. While most patients seem to benefit, the developed models could be helpful as a screening tool to identify those for whom a more intensive depression treatment is needed.

Identifying who benefits most from supportive versus expressive techniques in psychotherapy for depression: Moderators of within- versus between-individual effects.
Conclusions: Our within-individual findings diverge from previously published between-individual analyses.

The availability of dialectical behavior therapy in partial hospitalization and residential services for borderline personality disorder: An exploratory longitudinal study of the National Mental Health Services Survey from 2014 to 2021.
Conclusion: Consistent with previous literature, our study suggests that these programs are very scarce across the United States and difficult to access for those with Medicaid.guidelines on borderline personality disorder (BPD) recommend day-hospital or residential treatments for patients with BPD who cannot tolerate outpatient treatment (American Psychiatric Association, 2010; National Health & Medical Research Council, 2013). However, the current literature suggests that evidence-based treatment for BPD may be difficult to access (Lohman et al., 2017). The present study aims to characterize the accessibility of dialecti...
