Transdiagnostic models of psychopathology are increasingly prominent because they focus on fundamental processes underlying multiple disorders, help to explain comorbidity among and may lead more effective assessment treatment disorders. Current transdiagnostic models, however, have difficulty simultaneously explaining the mechanisms by which a risk factor leads disorders (i.e., multifinality) why one individual with particular develops set symptoms while another same divergent...
For people at risk of depressive relapse, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has an additive benefit to usual care (H. F. Coelho, P. H. Canter, & E. Ernst, 2007). This study asked if, among patients with recurrent depression who are treated antidepressant medication (ADM), MBCT is comparable treatment maintenance ADM (m-ADM) in (a) relapse prevention, (b) key secondary outcomes, and (c) cost effectiveness. The design was a parallel 2-group randomized controlled trial comparing those...
Background: Despite the use of mood stabilizers, a significant proportion patients with bipolar affective disorder experience frequent relapses.A pilot study cognitive therapy (CT) specifically designed to prevent relapses for showed encouraging results when used in conjunction stabilizers.This article reports outcome randomized controlled CT help and promote social functioning. Methods:We 103 1 according DSM-IV, who experienced despite prescription commonly into group or control group.Both...
BackgroundSleep difficulties might be a contributory causal factor in the occurrence of mental health problems. If this is true, improving sleep should benefit psychological health. We aimed to determine whether treating insomnia leads reduction paranoia and hallucinations.MethodsWe did single-blind, randomised controlled trial (OASIS) at 26 UK universities. University students with were randomly assigned (1:1) simple randomisation receive digital cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for or...
BackgroundDepression is a common, debilitating, and costly disorder. Many patients request psychological therapy, but the best-evidenced therapy—cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)—is complex costly. A simpler therapy—behavioural activation (BA)—might be as effective cheaper than CBT. We aimed to establish clinical efficacy cost-effectiveness of BA compared with CBT for adults depression.MethodsIn this randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial, we recruited aged 18 years or older meeting...
Previous research has shown that, compared with a rumination induction, brief distraction procedure reduces overgeneral autobiographical memory in depression. The authors investigated whether this effect depends on reductions analytic thinking or self-focus. Focus of attention (high vs. low self-focus) and style analytical thinking) were independently manipulated depressed patients 2 x design. Autobiographical recall was measured pre- postmanipulation. Thinking significantly affected memory,...
It has been widely established that depressed mood states and clinical depression, as well a range of other psychiatric disorders, are associated with relative difficulty in accessing specific autobiographical information response to emotion-related cue words on an Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT; J. M. G. Williams & K. Broadbent, 1986).In 8 studies the authors examined extent which this relationship is function impaired executive control these disorders.Studies 1-4 demonstrated...
One account for the negative effects of rumination on social problem solving (SPS) is symptom-focus hypothesis, which proposes that focus symptoms amplifies vicious cycle between depressed mood and cognition. The authors tested a contrasting account, reduced concreteness postulates abstract thinking typical impairs SPS. In 40 patients never-depressed controls, SPS was assessed before after versions symptom-focused known to differentially induce versus concrete self-focus (E. Watkins & J. D....
Background: Major depression is associated with cognitive deficits, particularly those requiring central executive functioning. Depressed patients also tend to focus on and think about their symptoms problems ("ruminate") more than non-depressed controls. Although an association has been found between rumination impaired performance a processing task, the causal relation functioning not determined. This study sought directly manipulate assess impact in as measured by random number...
The authors conducted an experience sampling study to investigate the relationship between momentary ruminative self-focus and negative affect. Ninety-three adults recorded these variables at quasi-random intervals 8 times daily for 1 week. Scores on questionnaire measures of dispositional rumination were associated with mean levels over Concurrently, was positively Cross-lagged analyses revealed that whereas predicted affect a subsequent occasion, also occasion. Decomposition measure...
About 20% of major depressive episodes become chronic and medication-refractory also appear to be less responsive standard cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT).To test whether CBT developed from behavioural activation principles that explicitly exclusively targets rumination enhances treatment as usual (TAU) in reducing residual depression.Forty-two consecutively recruited participants meeting criteria for depression were randomly allocated TAU v. plus up 12 sessions individual...
OBJECTIVE: In a previous randomized controlled study, the authors reported significant beneficial effects of cognitive therapy for relapse prevention in bipolar disorder patients up to 1 year. This study reports additional 18-month follow-up data and presents an overview effect over 30 months. METHOD: Patients with DSM-IV I (N=103) suffering from frequent relapses were randomly assigned into plus medication group or control condition only. Independent raters, who blind patient status,...
