Dancing on the edge? The motivational drivers of gamma-hydroxybutyrate/gamma-butyrolactone use – A longitudinal mixed-methods study
Although recreational use of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and its precursors gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and 1,4-butanediol (BD) is increasing and poses high risks (e.g. overdose, addiction, withdrawal), research on motives driving their use is lacking. The present study therefore aims to systematically examine the underlying motives and associations with psychological distress. This mixed-methods longitudinal study includes two waves of anonymous o…
Determinants of Cannabis Initiation and Cessation among Berlin College Students – A Longitudinal Study
Background: As a big European city famous for its party scene, Berlin attracts college students that are a high-risk population for cannabis use and use disorder. College years are often associated with new behavior patterns, but the factors leading to cannabis initiation are rarely studied past adolescence. This study describes the longitudinal evolution of college students’ cannabis use over two years and its correlates. Method: Data was collec…
Cannabis use during the early Covid-19 pandemic
Frequencies of cannabis intake remained relatively stable in the early pandemic phase. Risk factors for increased use seem related to habitual consumption patterns that become more prominent under quarantinization. The use of cannabis as a dysfunctional coping strategy might not be amenable via self-report and should therefore receive special attention in clinical contexts

No party, no drugs? Use of stimulants, dissociative drugs, and GHB/GBL during the early Covid-19 pandemic
Associations between Covid-19 related media consumption and symptoms of anxiety, depression and Covid-19 related fear in the general population in Germany
In context of the current COVID-19 pandemic the consumption of pandemic-related media coverage may be an important factor that is associated with anxiety and psychological distress. Aim of the study was to examine those associations in the general population in Germany. 6233 participants took part in an online-survey (March 27th–April 6th, 2020), which included demographic information and media exploitation in terms of duration, frequency and typ…
Risk, resilience, psychological distress, and anxiety at the beginning of the Covid‐19 pandemic in Germany
Learning to Let Go
The efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapies for mental disorders has been attributed to the lasting change from experiential avoidance to acceptance that these treatments appear to facilitate. This article presents a conceptual model that specifies potential psychological mechanisms underlying such change, and that shows substantial parallels between psychedelic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy: We propose that in the carefully control…
