Method: The sample was comprised of 30 clients undergoing a 16-session supportive-expressive dynamic therapy for depression.

Case Conceptualization in Clinical Practice and Training.

Case conceptualization is central to the success of the therapeutic process. However, integrative case conceptualization research has lagged behind research on integrating therapeutic intervention techniques.

Modality-specific effects of threat on self-motion perception.

Background: Threat and individual differences in threat-processing bias perception of stimuli in the environment. Yet, their effect on perception of one's own (body-based) self-motion in space is unknown. Here, we tested the effects of threat on self-motion perception using a multisensory motion simulator with concurrent threatening or neutral auditory stimuli.
