The research literature has documented barriers (e.g., stigma, limited English proficiency, and lack of transportation) contributing to the underutilization of behavioral health services among Spanish-speaking Latinxs (SSLs). Telehealth can be broadly defined as the provision of healthcare information and services through the use of telecommunications technology. Behavioral Activation (BA) has well established empirical support for reducing symptoms of depression among ethnic minority groups. The unprecedent challenges associated with accessing in-person behavioral health services during the COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the need to examine alternate methods for treatment delivery. Thus, the proposed study aimed to conduct a feasibility study to determine the viability of telehealth-delivered BA for SSLs. Twenty-five SSL participants met eligibility criteria and were enrolled in the intervention and 17 participants completed treatment. The majority of participants experienced significant improvements in depressive symptoms and positive affect. These treatment gains were sustained at one-month follow-up. The present study offers promising preliminary data to support the acceptability and feasibility of telehealth-delivered BA, with the potential to lessen barriers to care by offering readily accessible behavioral health services for depressed individuals in underserved communities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48359,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Therapy","volume":"55 1","pages":"Pages 164-176"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77112112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this program evaluation was to examine the effectiveness of the BounceBack program in Ontario by exploring (a) changes in participants’ depression and anxiety symptoms and functional impairment (as measured by the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and WSAS, respectively); and (b) rates for recovery and reliable improvement. Multilevel modelling (MLM) results indicated that participants reported significant improvements in their depression, anxiety, and functioning symptoms over time, which are not better accounted for by other demographic factors. Higher baseline severity of symptoms were associated with greater decreases in these symptoms. The strong recovery and reliable improvement rates identified further support the effectiveness of BounceBack as a potent intervention that leads to improvements in symptoms of anxiety and/or depression for the majority of its participants.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48359,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Therapy","volume":"55 1","pages":"Pages 150-163"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75013660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Past research has established a relationship between ED and depressive symptoms during pregnancy.

Social factors and self-evaluative factors may be important given rapidly changing social pressures and expectations during this transitional time. The current study (<em>N</em> = 454 pregnant women) examined (1) differences in ED and depressive symptoms across pregnancy and postpartum and (2) whether social factors (social appearance anxiety; social support) and self-evaluative factors (maladaptive perfectionism; self-compassion) moderate the relationship between depression and ED symptoms cross-sectionally and prospectively. Study aims, hypotheses, and data analysis were preregistered on the Open Science Foundation (osf.io). This study did not identify differences in ED or depression symptoms across women at different stages of pregnancy; however, depression symptoms significantly improved within individuals from pregnancy to postpartum. ED symptoms and all social and self-evaluative factors were uniquely associated with depression during pregnancy. ED symptoms, maladaptive perfectionism, social appearance anxiety, and self-compassion during pregnancy significantly predicted postpartum depression, when accounting for prenatal depression. During pregnancy, but not postpartum, when social support and self-compassion were low, and when maladaptive perfectionism was high, there was a stronger relationship between ED and depression symptoms.

The transdiagnostic theory of eating disorders proposes that eating disorders share similar maintaining symptoms, such as what this theory calls <em>clinical perfectionism</em> (i.e., high levels of <em>concern over mistakes</em> and <em>personal standards</em>). However, it has been difficult to examine the interrelationship of specific aspects of perfectionism, beyond assessing moderation effects, which have generally not found support for the theory of clinical perfectionism in eating disorders. Thus, we used network analysis to test the theory of perfectionism by testing the interrelationships between maladaptive perfectionism facets (<em>concern over mistakes</em>, <em>personal standards, parental criticism</em>, <em>parental expectations</em>, and <em>personal standards</em>) and eating disorder symptoms in 397 individuals diagnosed with an eating disorder. <em>Concern over mistakes</em> was a central symptom and demonstrated the strongest interrelationships with eating disorder symptoms compared to the other aspects of perfectionism, connecting to eating concerns and cognitive restraint. Objective binge eating had a strong negative connection to <em>personal standards</em>. We identified specific central symptoms and illness pathways of perfectionism, which partially supports the theory of clinical perfectionism. Results, if replicated, may suggest that <em>concern over mistakes</em> might be best reconceptualized as part of eating disorder pathology and be targeted to improve treatment outcomes for eating disorders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48359,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Therapy","volume":"55 1","pages":"Pages 14-25"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84734661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the present study, we present the newly developed Positive and Negative Effects of Psychotherapy Scale for Internet-Based Intervention (PANEPS-I) and examine possible unwanted effects of an internet-based self-help intervention in individuals with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), aggregating three different techniques: habit reversal training (HRT), decoupling (DC), and decoupling in sensu (DC-is).

Following baseline assessment, 141 participants with at least one BFRB were randomly assigned to two intervention groups that differed only with respect to the delivery mode (video, manual); the content was the same. After 6 weeks, a post-assessment was conducted. Unwanted effects were assessed using the PANEPS-I. A total of 70% of the participants (both treatment groups combined) reported at least one positive effect of the intervention. Negative effects were reported by 14–92% of participants, depending on the effect. The highest agreement rates were found for “no positive goal orientation” (52.5%), “did not address personal problems” (48.8%), “time/performance pressure” (20.9%), shame (16.3%), and concerns about data privacy (14.3%).
