🚀 New paper (open access) out in Cognitive Therapy & Research: we (@herzog.bsky.social, @evalottabrakemeier.bsky.social, @hudsongolino.bsky.social and me) ask whether group‑level symptom‑change networks in CBT actually capture what happens inside each patient. #Psychology #CBT

delighted to see this published 🙌 using EMA, we (with @roryoc.bsky.social) investigated suicidal ideation in daily life. we found that it arises from an interaction of within-person increases in loneliness and an individual’s level of personality functioning psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

1: In 2023, I wrote this paper arguing that research on active ingredients of CBT, and by extension on their mechanisms, is not close to improving therapy outcomes. I just read a paper on inhibitory learning improving outcomes of exposure. Egg on my face? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In einem der meistgehörten Podcasts Deutschlands ist eine „Traumaexpertin“ zu Gast. Ich dachte: cool, da wird eine wissenschaftlich ausgebildete und kompetente Therapeutin mal richtig Klartext reden. Nope: weder approbiert noch Wissenschaft. Arbeitet nach Heilpraktikergesetz.

A new take on the limitations of "psychometric networks" now out in Nature Human Behavior. You don't want to put too much confidence in individual edges. Something we cautioned against in 2017. 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We’ve just published another video on HiTOP that tries to flesh out a bit more how the framework can be helpful in research: youtu.be/q0jOi_Nl1yo We hope it’s useful, and are keen to hear any feedback Thanks again so much to @tashtc.bsky.social for all of her hard work creating this video series ✨

When we measure personality multiple times in a study, does it matter if we ask people about their personality *in general* or *since the last time point*? Turns out: yes! We found differences in internal consistency, Ms, & SDs but not in the underlying constructs 🧵 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Das, was derzeit meinen Kollegen @dunjahayali.de und Elmar Theveßen widerfährt, dürfte z.T. auch eine orchestrierte Kampagne sein. In den digitalen Kloaken genügt es ja, jemanden zu markieren und dann wird das zum Selbstläufer, in rechtsfreien Räumen, denen sich bislang keine Kraft entgegenstellt. 🧵

Main outcomes of 29 psychotherapy university outpatient clinics in Germany (N=6624). After therapy, 55% recovered and 8% deteriorated when looking at Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) scores. Recovery was less frequent in Borderline PD (39%) and more frequent (68%) in specific phobias.

This is going to backfire so badly.

Can you help me build a list of things that are (or might be) wrong in the current HiTOP model while I'm sick and recovering on the couch? Some of my top hunches are: -My PhD was wrong (☹️) and low sexual function shouldn’t be neatly nested under internalizing 1/2
