Cost-effectiveness of massed versus spaced trauma-focused treatment as first-line treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder in adults with multiple trauma exposure : protocol for a single-blind non-inferiority randomised controlled trial

Introduction: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious disorder that burdens individuals and society. The current standard of first-line treatment for PTSD is spaced trauma-focused treatment (S-TFT), involving weekly sessions. While effective, S-TFT may take relatively long to complete, especially in patients exposed to multiple potentially traumatic events (PTEs).

Co‐Rumination as a Moderator Between Best‐Friend Support and Adolescent Psychological Distress

Introduction: Co‐rumination, characterized by excessively discussing problems and dwelling on negative affect within a dyadic friendship, has been associated with adolescents' symptoms of depression, anxiety and perceived stress‐collectively referred to as psychological distress. This study explored whether co‐rumination moderates the association between perceived best friend support and psychological distress.

 

Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies With a Trauma Focus for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder : An Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis

Objective: This individual participant data meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy with a trauma focus (CBT-TF) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Furthermore, we examined the effect of moderators on PTSD symptom severity.

 

Child Abuse and Family Social Support : The Practice of Resolutions Approach

Background/Objectives: Child abuse is a devastating problem, and effective interventions are needed. Interventions incorporating social support have been found to be more effective in reducing parental abuse than those that do not. The resolutions approach (RA) emphasizes collaborating with the family’s social network. The present study aims to examine the role of social networks in RA.

 

Risk and protective factors for the mental health of displaced Ukrainian families in the Netherlands : study protocol of a 4- year longitudinal study

Background Over 6 million people have fled their homes in response to the full- scale invasion of Russian armed forces into Ukraine and are forcibly displaced since the start on 4 February 2022. Refugees, both adults and children, have a high risk of developing mental health disorders, in particular post- traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety disorders. Research into the mental health of Ukrainian families and their needs is urgently needed.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Mental Disorders in Adults : A Unified Series of Meta-Analyses

Importance  Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a first-line treatment for most mental disorders. However, no meta-analytic study has yet integrated the results of randomized clinical trials on CBT across different disorders, using uniform methodologies and providing a complete overview of the field.

A theoretical perspective on the role of sleep in borderline personality disorder : From causative factor to treatment target

Sleep plays a crucial role in emotion regulation. Disturbed sleep is therefore increasingly seen as a potential causal factor for the development and maintenance of affective psychiatric disorders. This may hold especially for borderline personality disorder (BPD), a core emotion dysregulation disorder. Although BPD is strongly associated with sleep disturbances such as insomnia, nightmares and circadian dysrhythmia, research into the role of sleep in BPD remains sparse.

Implementing scalable face-to-face and digital interventions among forcibly displaced persons from Ukraine in Europe : protocol of The U-RISE Project

Background: The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has led to millions of forcibly displaced persons (FDPs) within Ukraine and other European countries. Due to war-related exposure and displacement adversities, this group is at significant risk of developing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental health problems. Systemic barriers, including insufficiently equipped mental health systems and language barriers, prevent FDPs from receiving adequate mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS).

Co-Rumination as a Moderator Between Best-Friend Support and Adolescent Psychological Distress

Introduction

Co-rumination, characterized by excessively discussing problems and dwelling on negative affect within a dyadic friendship, has been associated with adolescents' symptoms of depression, anxiety and perceived stress-collectively referred to as psychological distress. This study explored whether co-rumination moderates the association between perceived best friend support and psychological distress.

Methods

Systematic review : REM sleep, dysphoric dreams and nightmares as transdiagnostic features of psychiatric disorders with emotion dysregulation - Clinical implications

Background: Fragmented rapid eye movement (REM) sleep disrupts the overnight resolution of emotional distress, a process crucial for emotion regulation. Emotion dysregulation, which is common across psychiatric disorders, is often associated with sleep disturbances. This systematic review explores how REM sleep and nightmares affect emotion processing and regulation in individuals with psychiatric disorders where emotion dysregulation is a key concern, suggesting novel sleep-related treatment pathways.
