Background: Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating disorders such as alcohol dependence that are characterized by emotional dysregulation. Preliminary evidence revealed the feasibility of DBT skills training (ST) a stand-alone treatment for disorders. Although dysregulation plays significant role dependence, there no previous reports using DBT-ST to treat it. Objectives: The aim this study was evaluate duration abstinence and changes regulation 3-month...
Theoretical frameworks postulate that mindfulness represents a relevant therapeutic process in substance use disorders (SUDs), especially treating difficulties with emotion regulation (DER). Nonetheless, it remains unclear how dimensions, particularly self-regulation of attention and acceptance attitudes, are implicated the well-validated relationship between DER SUDs. It is also uncertain whether considered common protective factor for SUDs.To investigate mediating role relationships SUDs...
ABSTRACT Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with a high risk of suicide. Despite several factors being known, identifying vulnerable patients in clinical practice remains challenge so far. The current study aimed at predicting suicide attempts among BPD during disorder‐specific psychotherapeutic interventions exploiting machine learning techniques. took into account potential predictors relevant to psychopathology: emotion dysregulation, temperamental and character factors,...
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims at investigating the initial efficacy of a 6‐month therapeutic community (TC) intervention integrated with standard Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training (DBT‐ST) program (DBT‐ST‐TC) for treating impulsivity among patients SUDs. Methods Impulsivity was assessed through self‐report (UPPS‐P) and neuropsychological (Attentional Network Test [ANT]‐conflict monitoring, Go/No‐Go, Iowa Gambling Task) measures. Furthermore, mindfulness (FFMQ, MAAS) emotion...
Background: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of a 3-month Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training stand-alone outpatient program (DBT-ST-OP) for alcohol use disorder (AUD) by comparing primary and secondary outcomes with same intervention provided in mixed format (inpatient + outpatient). The also assessed experiential avoidance (EA) changes during treatment its early predictive role retention. Ultimately, mediating difficulties emotion regulation (DER), EA changes,...
The self is the core of our mental life which connects one's inner with external perception. Since synchrony a key feature biological world and its various species, what role does it play for humans? We conducted large-scale psychological study (n = 1072) combining newly developed visual analogue scales (VAS) perception internal cognition complemented by several questionnaires. Overall, findings showed close connection both (i.e., body cognition) others, environment/nature) being associated...
Backgrounds Dialectical behavior therapy skills training (DBT-ST) is an effective treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD). AUD frequently co-occurs with other addictive behaviors.Objective s: These secondary analyses of prior studies on the effectiveness a 3-month DBT-ST program investigated pre- post-treatment changes in severity concurrent behaviors. The study hypothesized that emotion regulation and experiential avoidance should be key therapeutic mechanisms involved behaviors.Methods...
Objectives: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adulthood shows high co-occurrence rates with cocaine use (CoUD). The self-medication hypothesis (SMH) provides a theoretical explanation for this comorbidity. This study investigates the neurobiological mechanisms that could support SMH adult patients attention-deficit (ADHD-CoUD). Materials and Methods: We included 19 ADHD-CoUD (84.2% male; age: 32.11 years [7.18]) 16 CoUD (68.7% 36.63 [8.12]). All subjects underwent...
