Cognitive dysfunction is a core symptom dimension in bipolar disorder and strong predictor of functional outcomes. remediation (CR) produces moderate, durable effects on cognition patients with schizophrenia; however, studies CR are sparse findings have been mixed. Thus, the aim this study was to evaluate versus active control psychosis.Patients DSM-IV diagnosis psychosis (n = 75) were randomized 70-hour computerized program or dose-matched computer using parallel design 1:1 allocation...
• Personalizing psychological treatments involves the clinician's efforts to customize or modify treatment based on individual's needs enhance outcomes. Within umbrella term "personalization", application of precision methods clinical psychology has led data-driven therapies. Implementing data-informed therapies is a multifaceted endeavour that encompasses four main areas: Clinical and practical factors, technical aspects, statistical considerations, contextual frameworks.
The experience-sampling method (ESM) captures psychological experiences over time and in everyday contexts, thereby offering exciting potential for collecting more temporally fine-grained ecologically valid data research. Given that rapid methodological developments make it increasingly difficult novice ESM researchers to be well informed about standards of research identify resources can serve as useful starting points, we here provide a primer on 10 essential design implementation...
Abstract Objectives: Cognitive dysfunction is a core symptom dimension that cuts across the psychoses. Recent findings support classification of patients along cognitive using cluster analysis; however, data-derived groupings may be highly determined by sampling characteristics and measures used to derive clusters, so their interpretability must established. We examined clusters in cross-diagnostic sample with psychosis associations clinical functional outcomes. then compared our previous...
Pediatric anxiety is among the most common mental health diagnoses for American youth, yet few youths diagnosed with anxiety/obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) receive treatment. The majority of parents nationwide report at least some difficulty accessing care their child. Within state Rhode Island, where 12.7% youth experienced concerns during 2021, 59% caregivers reported any kind (Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative, 2021‐2022). Access to exposure‐based CBT (exposure...
Abstract Background Improving patient outcomes will be enhanced by understanding “what works, for whom?” enabling better matching of patients to available treatments. However, answering this question requires sample sizes that exceed those most individual trials. Conventional methods combining data across trials, including aggregate-data meta-analysis, suffer from key limitations difficulty accounting differences trials (e.g., comparing “apples oranges”). Causally interpretable meta-analysis...
Abstract For Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to best meet the specific needs of autistic youth with co-occurring anxiety and continue grow as a sustainable treatment option, it is important incorporate caregiver perspectives feedback. Data were drawn from randomized controlled trial included 148 caregivers (ages 7–13 years, M = 9.89, SD 1.79; 23% female; 77.7% White) disorders one two active conditions ( Coping Cat , n 72, or Interventions for Anxiety in Children Autism [BIACA], 76). A...
Background: Patients with psychosis spectrum disorders exhibit deficits in social and neurocognition, as well hallmark abnormalities motivation reward processing. Aspects of processing may overlap behaviorally neurobiologically some elements cognitive functioning, these processes share partially overlapping etiologies patients. However, whether cognition are associated across the psychoses linked to state trait clinical symptomatology is unclear. Method: The present study examined...
Pediatric anxiety disorders can have a chronic course and are considered gateway to adult psychopathology, but no consistent predictors of long-term outcome been identified. A single latent symptom dimension that reflects features shared by all mental health disorders, the p factor, is thought reflect mechanisms cut across disorders. Whether predicts in youth with psychiatric has not examined. We tested whether factor predicted functional outcomes large, naturalistically followed-up cohort...

The experience sampling method (ESM) enables data collection from everyday life,improving assessment of cognitive, affective, and behavioral constructs as they vary between- within people over time context. However, the issues how we best can measure using ESM remains largely unknown existing measurement theory, which was developed primarily to describe retrospective, self-report, cross-sectional data, is misaligned with temporally granular contextually complex nature data. To improve...
At the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth service use increased. However, little research has compared efficacy individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for youth with anxiety administered via (a) and (b) in-person. The present study used non-inferiority analyses to examine outcomes disorders (diagnosed by an Independent Evaluator; IE) treated during pandemic in-person prior pandemic.
Abstract Background The re-conceptualization of patients’ and caregivers’ roles in research from study participants to co-researchers (“patient partners”) has led growing pains within outside the community, such as how effectively engage patients part interdisciplinary teams. To support growth more successful partnerships by developing a shared understanding patient partners conceptualize contribute their role, this aimed explore partners’ motivations for engagement role. Methods We...
Cognitive deficits are well-documented in patients with bipolar disorder (BPD) and may impact the efficacy of psychotherapy. control, a form executive functioning, is often used therapeutically to shift patients' thoughts behaviors from automatic, maladaptive responses adaptive coping strategies. This study examined cognitive control processing BPD using Multi-Source Interference Task (MSIT).Twenty-nine diagnosed 21 healthy (HC) subjects completed MSIT concurrent functional magnetic...
The visual system is recognized as an important site of pathology and dysfunction in schizophrenia. In this study, we evaluated different perceptual functions patients with psychotic disorders using a potentially clinically applicable task battery assessed their relationship symptom severity patients, schizotypal features healthy participants.Five areas functioning were schizophrenia schizoaffective disorder (n = 28) control subjects 31) that included visuospatial working memory (VSWM),...
