A new paper I’ve made a humble contribution to exemplifies benefits with SCEDs: - Get preliminary effects data of an intervention (in this case Psychodrama) - Let patients define their own outcomes - Follow the therapeutic process within cases (Shown are 3 cases out of 15) doi.org/10.1080/0951...

An exceptionally lovely day in Oxford and Magdalen college, visiting the brilliant @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social

The perceived causal relations of one patient, day-by-day for three weeks. Presented by Julian Reichert (with some input and thinking from myself, @tfblanken.bsky.social & @julianburger.bsky.social) at the lovely and thoroughly interesting @saa2025leuven.bsky.social. Pre-print coming soon (n=10)

@eikofried.bsky.social being as kind and supportive as ever about our collab work on perceptions of social determinants months before i got my act together on bluesky. preprint accessible here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

1/3 🚨Case conceptualization at the next level: This study combines perceived causal networks with intensive longitudinal data to create individual, data-updated models of psychopathology. Read more 👇🏾 📰 Open access: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... 🔗Open data, material, code: osf.io/r5xfg/files/...

1/3 I think this is a nice use case for cross-sectional network analysis: to get a very basic idea of the nomological network of your target construct. In this case, we look at biopsychosocial risk & resilience factors for postpartum depression in n=57,518 women. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Working on some network stuff. It's oddly satisfying going from this network spaghetti to something a bit more organized

Published! ”Perceived causal symptom network of adolescent mental health issues”. n = 55 depressed teenagers (PHQ9 > 9) picked symptoms from a predefined list (including criteria for depression, purple nodes), specified these in their own words, and then rated causal relations.

How to write a neuropsychological assessment that people actually understand! We call it the STEPS model :) We can increase both objective reader comprehension and their subjective experience of reading the assessment - results from recently published onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New blog post! Three reasons why (some) idiographic studies in psych leave me unimpressed: (1) failure to establish that there's meaningful variation, (2) imprecise estimates at the individual level, (3) the usual estimand confusion (is it causal? yes/no/maybe a bit?). www.the100.ci/2024/10/28/i...

Just found out I was awarded the ”Scientist-practitioner award 2024” from the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT)! And this is before Ive released the “Build-your-own-symptom-network kit” to the world! My one true contribution to the field! 🍾🥳👨🏼‍🔬

Published! ”Perceived causal symptom network of adolescent mental health issues”. n = 55 depressed teenagers (PHQ9 > 9) picked symptoms from a predefined list (including criteria for depression), specified these in their own words, and then rated causal relations. Redone again 2 weeks later.

I’m a year late, but finally read this paper by @ephemeralidea.bsky.social & Schönbrodt - it’s so good. Each section could be its own paper (check out appendix E 🤯). One of the most impressive (& well-written) papers I’ve read in ages! Thx for writing it! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Next up in the Personalizing Psychotherapy journal club series is ✨ @saskiascholten.bsky.social ✨ discussing the development of a single case clinic! Join us March 20, 10am EST - you won't want to miss it.

"our findings illustrate inflated self-righteous beliefs among researchers..when it comes to research ethics, which may contribute to academic polarization and moral blindspots regarding one’s own and one’s colleagues’ use of questionable research practices." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enjoyed this new episode of Freakonomics Radio! Interesting convos about Gino, Ariely, Data Colada, and the drawbacks of the current academic incentive structures. Feels like a great intro for undergrads; planning on assigning it next time I teach research methods! open.spotify.com/episode/1NiZ...

Most of you probably already know from the dark place but we have published a new open-access paper that discusses different classificatory approaches to mental health problems (cpe.psychopen.eu/index.php/cp...). The work was spearheaded by my boss, Winfried Rief.

Published! “A novel approach for constructing personalized networks from longitudinal perceived causal relations”, with @julianburger.bsky.social , @tfblanken.bsky.social et al www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
