Measurement and Correlates of Peer Social Support During Brief Psychiatric Treatment: The Fellow Travelers in Treatment Scale
OBJECTIVES: Many forms of psychiatric treatment include social experiences as part of treatment. Patients often have both formal and informal opportunities to interact with their peers while receiving treatment in settings such as residential, inpatient, and partial hospital levels of care. However, patients' perceptions of these formal and informal social encounters are not routinely assessed in clinical care or clinical research, and the extent…
Latent Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms During a Transdiagnostic Partial Hospitalization Program
Improvement in Distress Tolerance as a Mechanism of Symptom Reduction During Intensive Exposure and Response Prevention–Based Treatment for OCD
Relationships between depression, self-reflection, brooding, and creative thinking in a psychiatric sample
Changes in daily manifestations of Openness to Experience during intensive cognitive‐behavioral treatment
OBJECTIVE: Research examining relationships between trait Openness to Experience, psychopathology, and well-being has produced contradictory findings. Examining temporary manifestations of Openness may provide further insight into the interplay between Openness and symptoms in clinical populations. METHOD: = 34 years, 52% women, 83% White) taking part in 7 days of intensive treatment for acute psychopathology. Participants also completed a daily …
Validation of the PHQ-9 in a psychiatric sample
Network analysis of depression and anxiety symptom relationships in a psychiatric sample
Background Researchers have studied psychological disorders extensively from a common cause perspective, in which symptoms are treated as independent indicators of an underlying disease. In contrast, the causal systems perspective seeks to understand the importance of individual symptoms and symptom-to-symptom relationships. In the current study, we used network analysis to examine the relationships between and among depression and anxiety sympto…
Internalized stigma of mental illness: Changes and associations with treatment outcomes
Internalized stigma of mental illness is associated with poor mental health and represents a prominent barrier to accessing treatment. Few studies have investigated the effects of cognitive–behavioral treatment approaches on internalized stigma, particularly without a targeted stigma intervention. T
Attending to Timely Contingencies: Promoting Physical Activity Uptake Among Adults with Serious Mental Illness with an Exercise-For-Mood vs. an Exercise-For-Fitness Prescription
Despite evidence for both physical and mental health benefits achieved through regular exercise, most Americans fail to meet minimum recommendations. Altering the behavioral contingency from a focus on long-term health benefits to immediate mood benefits represents a novel method for exercise promotion. The current study examined a single-session exercise-for-mood intervention against two time-matched comparison conditions in 152 patients with se…
Psychometric Properties of the CES-D-10 in a Psychiatric Sample
The 10-item Center for the Epidemiological Studies of Depression Short Form (CES-D-10) is a widely used measure to screen for depression in primary care settings. The 10-item measure has demonstrated strong psychometric properties, including predictive accuracy and high correlations with the original 20-item version, in community populations. However, clinical utility and psychometric properties have yet to be assessed in an acutely symptomatic p…
Assessment of obsessive-compulsive symptom dimensions: Development and evaluation of the Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale.
Although several measures of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms exist, most are limited in that they are not consistent with the most recent empirical findings on the nature and dimensional structure of obsessions and compulsions. In the present research, the authors developed and evaluated a measure called the Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (DOCS) to address limitations of existing OC symptom measures. The DOCS is a 20-item measure that …
