Previous research suggests that is involved social only anxiety. We tested whether the association symptoms phobia...
Social anxiety is a common mental disorder among adolescents and associated with detrimental long term outcomes. Therefore, this study investigated the efficacy of two possible early interventions for adolescent social test anxiety. An internet-based cognitive bias modification (CBM; n = 86) was compared to school-based behavioral group training (CBT; 84) control (n 70) in reducing symptoms high socially and/or anxious aged 13-15 years. Participants 240) were randomized at school level over...
Behavioral inhibition (BI) has been associated with the development of internalizing disorders in children and adolescents. It further shown that attentional control (AC) is negatively problems. The combination high BI low AC may particularly lead to elevated symptomatology behavior. This study broadens existing knowledge by investigating additive interacting effects on various DSM-IV based dimensions. A sample non-clinical adolescents (N = 1806, age M 13.6 years), completed Inhibition...
This two-year follow-up study evaluated the long-term outcomes of two early interventions that aimed at reducing social and test anxiety in young adolescents risk for developing disorder. In this RCT, moderately socially anxious (N=240, mean age 13.6 years) were randomly assigned to a 10-week internet-based multifaceted cognitive bias modification training (CBM), school-based behavioral group (CBT), or no-intervention control condition. Using multiple imputation, examined changes primary...

Scaling assumptions...

A second examine there a relationship between individuals phase. Method: Forty-three at for psychosis, 92...
Clinicians in mental healthcare have few objective tools to identify and analyze their patient's care needs. Clinical decision aids are that support this process. This study examines whether 1) clinicians working with a clinical aid (TREAT) discuss more of needs compared usual treatment, 2) agree on evidence-based treatment decisions. participated consultations (n = 166) patients diagnosed psychotic disorders from four Dutch institutions (research registration number 201700763). Primary...
Impaired cognitive insight and increased self-stigma have been consistently reported in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, but little is known about its presence at ultra-high risk of developing a psychosis, although associated transition.to psychosis. The current study examined whether already present this impaired insight.184 participants were recruited divided over three groups, namely disorder (SSD; n = 92, 34% females), for psychosis (UHR; 43, 59% females)...
Background Receiving the label of a psychotic disorder influences self-perception and may result in negative outcomes such as self-stigma decreased self-esteem. The way diagnosis is communicated to individuals affect these outcomes. Aims This study aims explore experiences needs after first episode psychosis with regard which information about diagnosis, treatment options prognosis them. Design methods A descriptive interpretative phenomenological approach was used. Fifteen who experienced...
Abstract Deteriorated functioning is a part of the clinical-high risk (CHR) criteria for psychosis. Diminished social, educational and occupational in phase late adolescence early adulthood are associated with long-term economic health consequences, which stresses importance intervention to stimulate functioning. This pilot study examines effectiveness feasibility choose-get-keep model Supported Education Employment (SEE) improve individuals at CHR A single blind randomized controlled...
Empathy is a complex interpersonal process thought to be impaired in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Past studies have mainly used questionnaires or performance-based tasks static cues measure cognitive and affective empathy. In contrast, we an Empathic Accuracy Task (EAT) designed capture the more dynamic aspects of empathy by using video clips which perceivers continuously judge emotionally charged stories various targets. We compared healthy controls on EAT assessed...
