Early maladaptive schemas as mediators between childhood maltreatment and adult psychopathology in psychiatric inpatients.

Background: Early maladaptive schemas are well-established mechanisms between childhood maltreatment (i.e., abuse and neglect) and psychopathology in adulthood.

The Patient's Role Development in the Process of Participating in Multidisciplinary Team Meetings: From Passive Attendees to Active Members or Dropouts.

Mental health patients are increasingly invited to participate in multidisciplinary team meetings during their admission to inpatient mental health units. To participate effectively, patients must adopt a role that enables them to actively engage and take their place as contributing member of the team. This study aims to understand how mental health patients experience the development of their roles when participating in multidisciplinary team meetings and to identify which dynamics are meaningful to them.

Patient Participation in Multidisciplinary Team Meetings in Residential Mental Health Services: An Explorative Study of Patients' Perception.

Introduction: The lack of evidence of mental health patients' perception on patient participation in multidisciplinary team meetings (MTMs) is a potential threat to the person-centeredness of care.

Aim: To explore the perceptions of mental health patients regarding patient participation in MTMs and to identify factors associated with these perceptions.

Method: In a cross-sectional study, 127 former and 109 currently admitted mental health patients completed the Patient Participation during Team Meetings Questionnaire (PaPaT-Q).

A brief screener for impairment in personality functioning: Psychometric validation of the Five-Item Screening Scale for Personality Disorders in a Dutch-speaking clinical sample.

Personality disorders (PDs) are characterized by problems with identity and self-direction. Since the recent dimensional PD models of the , fifth edition () and the 11th edition, the role of identity and self-direction in personality pathology has been made explicitly by including these problems in a general personality pathology criterion. This criterion reflects impairment in personality functioning (IPF), which is assessed on a continuum to determine the severity of personality pathology.

The patient's perspective on participation in a multidisciplinary team meeting: A phenomenological study.

In mental health care settings, inpatients are increasingly engaged in their care process, allowing them to participate in multidisciplinary team meetings. Research into how mental health patients (MHPs) experience participating in such meetings is, however, limited. This study aimed to explore inpatients' experiences when participating in multidisciplinary team meetings in a Belgian inpatient mental health unit.
