Background: While exposure therapy effectively reduces anxiety associated with specific phobias, not all individuals respond to treatment and some will experience a return of fear after ceases. Aims: This study aimed test the potential benefit increasing intensity by adding an extra step that challenged uncontrollability (Step 15: allowing spider walk freely over one's body) standard hierarchy. Method: Fifty-one participants who had severe spiders completed two 60-min sessions 1 week apart...
Most people with persistent tics report an unpleasant sensation (premonitory urge) before the tic. In recent years, interest in these sensory phenomena has increased due to their important role behavioural therapy. However, instruments for assessing sensations remain scarce. Among available instruments, Premonitory Urge Tics Scale (PUTS) is most widely used. We examined psychometric properties and factor structure of Spanish-language version PUTS a sample 72 children adolescents Tourette...
Attentional control (AC) and fear extinction learning are known to be involved in pathological anxiety. In this study we explored whether individual differences non-emotional AC were associated with the magnitude gradient of (learning recall). 50 individuals spiders, collected measures by means self-report assessing functioning major attention networks (executive control, orienting, alerting). The participants then underwent a paradigm recall. two components orienting network (costs...
Abstract The Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) has demonstrated good psychometric properties in several countries and cultures. Nevertheless, most of the previous studies that explore these have combined clinical community samples. We aimed to validate Spanish version SCAS a large sample ( N = 130) children adolescents. adaptation showed internal consistency for total scale, test-retest reliability all subscales. Furthermore, its convergent discriminant validity were supported by...
The effect of bromocriptine at doses up to 20 mg/day was studied in a single-blind format with placebo phase 15 Parkinson's disease patients mild-to-moderate disability who had not been previously treated levodopa. For the 11 completed 9 month trial, both Northwestern University Disability Scale and Columbia Rating scores were significantly reduced during therapy, when compared either baseline or scores. Two improved greater than 50% no side effects. Transient effects appeared four patients....
The child version of the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS-C) has demonstrated good psychometric properties, but research scarcely focused on parent questionnaire (SCAS-P). We aimed to validate Spanish SCAS-P in a clinical sample (N= 137) children and adolescents through their parents’ responses. showed internal consistency for total scale most subscales (Cronbach´s alpha between .49 y .83) excellent test-retest reliability all (r .71 .91). Furthermore, convergent, divergent validity...

Abstract Aim: Anxiety disorders (AD) are estimated in a 6’5% worldwide childhood and adolescence produce negative impact over functioning life quality. Individual group Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT) have demonstrated their short long-term efficacy. Cool Kids (CK) is 10-session CBT-based program to be administered 7-17 aged participants with AD parents. CK has its efficacy compared control groups. Our aim was analyze the effectiveness of clinical cohort Spanish children teens AD....
