  • Tailoring the unified protocol for the treatment of burnout

    Open AccessAthena Gândilă, Andrei Rusu et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2026

    Burnout persists as an unresolved issue, as the effectiveness of interventions remains a subject of ongoing debate. To address the need for more suitable intervention approaches, this study describes a methodology for adapting the Unified Protocol (UP), an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral intervention, for group-based use to treat burnout. To ensure that the intervention reflected lived experiences, we employed a co-design methodology based on…

  • Putative risk and resilience factors for predicting mental health among Royal Canadian Mounted Police after the first year of service

    Juliana M B Khoury, Taylor A Teckchandani et al.ARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2026

    Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) cadets complete the Cadet Training Program with lower putative risk and greater self-perceived resilience than young adults in the general population, implicating occupational stressors as possible risk factors for mental health disorders in RCMP officers. The current study assessed for changes in putative risk and resilience factors among RCMP officers after their first year of service (i.e. from pre-deployme…

  • Mental health of Royal Canadian Mounted Police after the first year of service

    R Nicholas Carleton, Katie L Andrews et al.ARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2026

    Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) frequently report symptoms consistent with positive screens for one or more mental health disorders (65%), but RCMP cadets evidence a much lower prevalence (7.3%) prior to deployment. The differences in mental health between cadets and experienced RCMP implicates mental health challenges to be related to service experiences; however, less is known about how mental health changes during the first year of servic…

  • Assessing Emotion Regulation across Asian and Western Cultures

    Joan X M Chan, David A Preece et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2024

    Given the differences in emotion regulation across cultures, it is paramount to ensure that measures of emotion regulation measure the same construct and that conceptualizations of emotion regulation are valid across cultures. Therefore, the present study assessed the measurement invariance (alongside other psychometric properties) of three popular emotion regulation questionnaires, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Difficulties in Emot…

  • Trouble with the curve

    Open AccessTaylor A Teckchandani, Robyn E Shields et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    The creation of highly individualized, population-based mental health injury programs has been limited by an incomplete understanding of the causal relationships between protective factors and mental health. Disproportionate rates of disengagement from persons who screen positive for mental health disorders further compounds the difficulty in understanding the relationships between training programs and mental health. The current results suggest …

  • Integrating and differentiating personality and psychopathology in cognitive behavioral therapy

    Open AccessShannon Sauer-Zavala, Matthew W Southward et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2022

    A large body of literature supports the strong association between personality features and psychopathology. This research has, however, had little influence on day‐to‐day therapeutic practice, particularly in cognitive behavioral approaches that have traditionally focused on addressing the symptoms of categorically defined diagnoses. Indeed, there are few CBT protocols aimed at altering the personality features. Recently, however, the CBT litera…

  • Assessing the impact of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) protocol and Emotional Resilience Skills Training (ERST) among diverse public safety personnel

  • A Preliminary Evaluation of the Unified Protocol among Trauma-Exposed Adults with and without PTSD

    Open AccessCaitlyn O Hood, Matthew W Southward et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the Unified Protocol (UP)-a mechanistically transdiagnostic psychological treatment-provides benefit to individuals with a range of trauma histories, psychological difficulties, and diagnostic comorbidity. Using data from a sequential multiple-assignment randomized trial (SMART), this exploratory analysis included a sample of 69 community-recruited adults seeking outpatient mental health treatment…

  • Experimental Manipulations to Test Theory-Driven Mechanisms of Cognitive Behavior Therapy

    Open AccessMatthew W Southward, Shannon Sauer-ZavalaARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Despite decades of randomized-controlled trials demonstrating the efficacy of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT), the mechanisms by which CBT achieves its effects remain unclear. Here, we describe how one adaptive intervention, the sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART), can be used to randomize patients at multiple decision points in treatment to draw stronger causal claims about mechanisms unfolding in the course of CBT. We illus…

  • What is Neuroticism, and Can We Treat it?

    Open AccessAmantia Ametaj, Shannon Sauer-Zavala et al.OTHEREmerging Trends in the Social and…2015

    We review the substantive role of neuroticism and related temperaments such as extroversion in the development and maintenance of anxiety, mood, and related disorders subsumed under the term emotional disorders ( EDs ). We note that splitting these disorders into discrete categories as in the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ( DSM‐5 ) diagnoses may be highlighting relatively superficial differences. Research on the structure of anxiety, …

  • The Origins of Neuroticism

    Open AccessDavid H Barlow, Kristen K Ellard et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2014

    In this article, we provide a fresh perspective on the developmental origins of neuroticism—a dimension of temperament marked by elevated stress reactivity resulting in the frequent experience of negative emotions. This negative affectivity is accompanied by a pervasive perception that the world is a dangerous and threatening place, along with beliefs about one’s inability to manage or cope with challenging events. Historically, neuroticism has b…

  • The Nature, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Neuroticism

    Open AccessDavid H Barlow, Shannon Sauer-Zavala et al.ARTICLEClinical Psychological Science2014

    We highlight the role of neuroticism in the development and course of emotional disorders and make a case for shifting the focus of intervention to this higher-order dimension of personality. Recent decades have seen great emphasis placed on differentiating disorders into Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders diagnoses; however, evidence has suggested that splitting disorders into such fine categories may be highlighting relativel…
