SUD recovery involves a transformation of one’s ‘life-story’ or ‘narrative identity’. ‘Narrative foreclosure’ (NF) impedes this process by disconnecting past, present, and future narratives, hindering the rewriting of SUD-related identities. We investigate the impact of SUD-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) on narrative identity transformation and hypothesise NF as a potential factor in post-treatment relapse.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>107 patients referred to an outpatient clinic for adults with SUDs in the Netherlands were included. Participants completed the “Agency and Communion Inventory” (translated and validated in Dutch), the Narrative Foreclosure Scale (NFS) and the “Measurement of Addiction for Triage and Evaluation” (MATE), including the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress-Scale (DASS-21). Data collection occurred at the start of treatment, post-treatment (+3 months), and during a follow-up measure (+6 months).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>While participants showed a substantial reduction in substance use frequency and DASS-21 sum scores during CBT-treatment, no such differences were found in narrative themes. Multivariate models revealed that baseline communion and past-directed NF predicted ’substance-use reduction’ during treatment, while ’cannabis use,’ communion and future directed NF were predictors of ’DASS-21 sum score reduction’. Baseline communion showed a moderate positive relation to post-treatment relapse, while ’NFS: Future’ exhibited a moderate inverse relation. These findings remained robust even when altering the criteria for defining ’post-treatment relapse.’ They indicate that a stronger identification with communal themes serve as a protective factor against relapse, while future directed NF is associated with higher relapse rates.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>this study provides valuable insights into the interplay between narrative themes and treatment outcome(s) in SUD recovery.

A total of 378 (Mage = 31.41, SD = 8.84) respondents completed an online survey, which included measures of gaming disorder symptoms, gaming motives, and ALTs. Findings indicated that social and escape motives mediated relationship between ALTs and gaming disorder symptoms, after controlling for time gaming. However, ALTs displayed a negative association with social motives and a positive association with escape and both social and escape motives were positively associated with gaming disorder symptoms. These findings indicate that individuals with higher levels of ALTs may game primarily for escape from real-life challenges and less so for social reasons, potentially exacerbating problem gaming symptoms. These results underscore the importance of understanding gaming motives, as they can inform targeted interventions for reducing problematic gaming.

The aim of this position paper is to propose model of the maintenance and exacerbation of body image and eating concerns in the context of problematic social network use. Specifically, it is suggested that body image and eating concerns are associated with both generalized and specific problematic social network use through appearance-motivated use of social networks (appearance improvement seeking information, suggested/recommended appearance content engagement, and homogeneous social media experience), as well as appearance-centered online interactions (selfie behaviors, appearance feedback, and compulsive social network checking), leading to state negative affect and internalization of appearance ideals. In addition, four factors are proposed as risk (appearance feedback sensitivity, and social network rumination) and protective (social media literacy and positive body image) factors, respectively.
