Standardization of health outcomes assessment for depression and anxiety: Recommendations from the Ichom Depression and Anxiety Working Group
An international standard of health outcomes assessment has the potential to improve clinical decision making, enhance health care for the benefit of patients, and facilitate scientific knowledge
A Meta-Analysis of the Efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Clinically Relevant Mental and Physical Health Problems
Background: The current study presents the results of a meta-analysis of 39 randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), including 1,821 patients with mental disorders or somatic health problems. Methods: We searched PsycINFO, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Information provided by the ACBS (Association of Contextual Behavioral Science) community was also included. Statis…

Dopamine transporter gene moderates response to behavioral parent training in children with ADHD: A pilot study
There is great variability in the degree to which children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) improve through behavioral treatments. This study investigates the influence of the dopamine transporter gene (SCL6A3/DAT1) on outcome of behavioral parent training (BPT). Study subjects were a subsample (n = 50, for whom DAT1 genotypes were available) of a randomized controlled BPT effectiveness study (N = 94) comparing BPT plus ongoin…
Direct and indirect assessment of explanatory models of illness
Patients' self-reports of explanatory models (EMs) are sensitive to distortions, particularly as a result of social desirability, uncertainty towards one's own beliefs, and ethnic disparities with the interviewer. In contrast, reaction-time-based indirect measures are thought to be less sensitive to such factors. This article reports on two studies that applied direct (interview) and indirect (reaction-time-based association task) measures of EMs…
Who am I - and if so, where? A Study on Personality in Virtual Realities
Virtual realities form a new technical platform, raising scientific questions about the human mind, communication and identity. There is hardly any scientific research on the influence of a virtual reality on the identity perception and the personality of a user of these virtual realities. The present study attempts to contribute to filling this gap by assessing the potential difference between real-life personality and the ‘virtual’ avatar perso…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: A Meta-Analytic Review
Background: There are now a substantial number of controlled trials investigating the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This meta-analysis combined multiple well-controlled studies to help clarify the overall impact of ACT relative to waiting lists, psychological placebos, treatment as usual, and established therapies. Method: A comprehensive literature search produced 18 randomized controlled trials (n = 917) that were include…

Immigrants and Attachment Status: Research Findings With Dutch and Belgian Immigrants in California
Although immigrants are an extremely diverse group, adults who emigrate nearly always experience separation from family of origin, extended family and country. This research examines state of mind with respect to attachment, using the Adult Attachment Projective (George & West, 2003; George, West, & Pettem, 1999), and compares the attachment status of adult Californians who still live near their family of origin in the area in which they were bor…
Cognitive-behavioral and experiential group psychotherapy for HIV-infected homosexual men: A comparative study
The knowledge of being infected with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) brings about psychological distress and social problems including anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Participating in psychosocial intervention programs can help to reduce these problems. To date, however, very little is known about the efficacy of different intervention strategies. We implemented a study with a randomized experimental design to investiga…
Demand Characteristics in Behavioral Assessment
Several studies have demonstrated that demand characteristics can influence behavioral assessments in research on outcome of psychotherapy. In the present study the level of demand for approach behavior in a behavioral avoidance test was varied, using snake phobics as subjects. Self-reported snake phobics (n = 192) were assigned to one of two experimental groups. Subjects in the low-demand condition listened to low-demand instructions as used by …
Relationship of Locus of Control to Phobic Anxiety and Depression
In some studies a relation was found between external locus of control orientation on the one hand and depression (Abramovicz, 1969) and phobic anxiety (Palmer, 1972) on the other hand. The present study concerns the relation between locus of control orientation, depression and phobic anxiety in a population of normal students (58 females, 54 males) and a group of agoraphobics (77 females, 22 males). Subjects were given the Fear Survey Schedule (…
