This study aimed to build on the existing quantitative research on these variables and provide scientific evidence regarding them among Portuguese psychologists. Specifically, it aimed to explore the relationships between self-care, burnout, emotion regulation, and…
Self-care and the perceived impact of working with people with suicidal ideation on clinical psychologists
This study explored how clinical psychologists experience and manage the emotional impact of working with clients presenting suicidal ideation or coping with a client's death by suicide, as well as the self-care strategies they use and the barriers they encounter. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten clinical psychologists and analyzed using thematic analysis. Participants described this work as highly demanding, involving challenge…
Beyond emotions
Understanding the drivers of COVID-19 vaccination intentions remains relevant as public health systems prepare for future pandemics. This study examined how emotional and social-cognitive factors influence COVID-19 vaccination intentions during two key phases of the COVID-19 pandemic: before (April-June 2020) and after (January-February 2021) vaccination rollout. A total of 586 adults completed an online survey assessing beliefs about COVID-19, s…
Alexithymia and Identity Development
Alexithymia is characterized by reduced emotional awareness, which may impair emotion regulation. While emotion regulation has shown to be closely related to identity development, the role of alexithymia remains largely unexplored. This study examined the relationship between alexithymia and identity development in emerging adulthood, as well as the moderating role of personality. Three hundred thirty-eight emerging adults completed an online que…
Contextual similarities in psychological flexibility
Psychological Flexibility is an essential concept in Contextual Behavioural Sciences. The development of instruments is vital for its study, and it is an opportunity to reflect on this concept. Among the measures of this construct, Psy-Flex shows promise due to comprehensiveness in assessing the six facets of psychological flexibility and its pragmatic value. In the present study, we sought to translate Psy-Flex to Portuguese and adapt it transcu…
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in a…
Recalled Parental Emotion Socialisation and Psychological Distress
Recalled parental emotion socialisation has been associated with psychological distress in adulthood. Since emotional schemas develop from interpersonal interaction and can result in pathological reactions, they can be an important mechanism. The present study analyses the mediator role of emotional schemas in the relationship between recalled parental emotion socialisation and psychological distress. A community sample of 246 Portuguese adults, …
Principios éticos en psicoterapia dentro de un amplio marco deontológico psicológico y médico
El conocimiento de los códigos éticos y las directrices profesionales es crucial para desempeñar un papel profesional en la práctica de la psicoterapia. La práctica de la psicoterapia es cada vez más heterogénea y se discute mucho sobre su eficacia para los clientes. En algunos países, la psicoterapia es una profesión autónoma. En otros forma parte de las características profesionales de psicólogos y psiquiatras, y es posible encontrar a otros pr…
Patterns of Psychological Responses among the Public during the Early Phase of Covid-19

Convenience sampled online survey was conducted between April and June 2020 from 9130 citizens in 21 countries. Illness perceptions toward COVID-19, psychological flexibility, prosociality, coping and mental health, socio-demographics, lockdown-related variables…
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on mental health
Background The COVID-19 pandemic triggered vast governmental lockdowns. The impact of these lockdowns on mental health is inadequately understood. On the one hand such drastic changes in daily routines could be detrimental to mental health. On the other hand, it might not be experienced negatively, especially because the entire population was affected. Methods The aim of this study was to determine mental health outcomes during pandemic induced l…

Realizou-se uma tradução do questionário, seguida de retroversão e de um pré-teste a um pequeno grupo de estudan…
Quando o cliente pensa que não sente e sente o que não pensa
É repetidamente referido na literatura que pacientes alexitímicos têm piores resultados em psicoterapia. Tendo como referência que as características associadas ao conceito de alexitimia reflectem défices ao nível do processamento emocional, não só ao nível da regulação emocional, mas também dos processos subjacentes, como a consciência e a experienciação emocionais e a expressão e a diferenciação emocional, sugere-se que com pacientes com funcio…
