Sweetening fear exposure
Public speaking anxiety (PSA) is present in most individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD). As for SAD, exposure therapy is considered the gold-standard treatment for PSA. However, it is known that not all patients benefit from it. Recent research (Hauck Behav Res Ther: 104553, 2024) suggests that glucose facilitates fear extinction and consolidation, processes crucial for psychotherapeutic success, demonstrating its potential as an adjuvant…
How we see the world
Our findings provide further indications that biased interpretations and IIU may be involved in the pathogenesis of PTSD. In addition, they suggest that interpretation updating may be a promising target for the prevention of PTSD symptoms in contexts of repeated PTE exposure (e.g., in high-risk occupations).

Flexibility predicts chronic anxiety and depression during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic—A longitudinal investigation of mental health trajectories
Low cognitive and coping flexibility are linked to the probability of experiencing chronic mental health problems, making them a potential target for prevention and treatment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Adaptive responding to prolonged stress exposure
The high level of uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the general population's well-being and capacity for adaptive responding. Studies indicate that flexibility, defined as the ability to choose and employ a variety of emotional, cognitive and behavioural strategies in accordance with changing contextual demands, may significantly contribute to adaptive responding to long-term stressors such as COVID-19. In the curren…
The Relationship between Dog Ownership, Psychopathological Symptoms and Health-Benefitting Factors in Occupations at Risk for Traumatization
Individuals working in high-risk occupations (e.g., emergency staff) are exposed to high levels of occupational stress including traumatic events. Correspondingly, several studies report high rates of mental health problems among these occupations. Pet ownership has been associated with better mental health. However, to date a study on the association between pet ownership and indicators of mental health in these occupations is missing. The prese…
Mental Health in Anesthesiology and ICU Staff
Background: Hospitals, and particularly intensive care units (ICUs), are demanding and stressful workplaces. Physicians and nurse staff are exposed to various stressors: emergency situations, patients' deaths, and team conflicts. Correspondingly, several studies describe increased rates of PTSD symptoms and other mental health problems in hospital staff. Therefore, it is important to identify factors that lower the risk of psychopathological symp…
Respiratory Pathophysiology of Panic Disorder
Objective: To assess the external validity of laboratory baselines in panic disorder (PD), frequently associated with respiratory pattern abnormalities like increased respiratory variability and sighing, implying a stable pathophysiologic trait characteristic. Methods: Physical activity and a variety of breath-by-breath volumetric, timing, and variability measures of respiration were recorded in the daily life of 26 patients with PD and 26 health…
Autonomic and Respiratory Characteristics of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Panic Disorder
Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and panic disorder (PD) are two anxiety disorders with prominent psychophysiological symptoms. The PTSD criterion of persistent hyperarousal suggests autonomic dysregulation, and the disorder has been associated with elevated heart rate. In contrast, PD has been associated with respiratory abnormalities such as low end-tidal Pco2. An integrated analysis of automatic and respiratory function in a dir…
Enhanced Priming for Trauma-Related Material in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Intrusive reexperiencing in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to perceptual priming for trauma-related material. A prospective longitudinal study (N = 69) investigated perceptual priming for trauma-related, general threat, and neutral words in assault survivors with and without PTSD, using a new version of the word-stem completion task. Survivors with PTSD showed enhanced priming for trauma-related words. Furthermore, priming f…
