If You Give a Therapist a Network: A Qualitative Analysis of Therapists' Reactions to Their Patients' EMA-Based Network Models.

Objective: Network models hold much promise for use in the form of personalized feedback, which the TheraNet Project aims to investigate. In the present study, we share therapists' first reactions to patient network models based on ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data.

Method: Therapists (N = 24) were taught to interpret the network models based on their patient's data.

Exploring the complex interrelation between depressive symptoms, risk, and protective factors: A comprehensive network approach.

Background: Depressive symptoms seem to be interrelated in a complex and self-reinforcing way. To gain a better understanding of this complexity, the inclusion of theoretically relevant constructs (such as risk and protective factors) offers a comprehensive view into the complex mechanisms underlying depression.

Methods: Cross-sectional data from individuals diagnosed with a major depressive disorder (N = 986) and healthy controls (N = 1049) were analyzed.

To Use or Not to Use: Exploring Therapists' Experiences with Pre-Treatment EMA-Based Personalized Feedback in the TheraNet Project.

Background: Using idiographic network models in psychotherapy has been a growing area of interest. However, little is known about the perceived clinical utility of network models. The present study aims to explore therapists' experiences with network model-based feedback within the context of the TheraNet Project.

Treatment credibility as a mechanism of change in cognitive behavioral therapy: Effects on depression and anxiety.

Objective: This study aimed to provide evidence for treatment credibility (TC) as a potential mechanism of change in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Therefore, it focused on within-person effects that are free of the influence of stable characteristics and thus allow to exclude certain alternative explanations for the association under study.

Method: The sample included 1,423 patients receiving outpatient CBT, who presented a wide variety of psychiatric diagnoses (mostly affective and anxiety disorders).

[Therapists' Perspectives on Changes in the Therapeutic Relationship after Switching from in-Person to Online Video Therapy Due to Corona: A Qualitative Analysis].

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which the therapeutic relationship changed as a result of the COVID-19-related switch from face-to-face to video therapy.

Method: Twenty-one psychotherapists, who had changed the setting of therapy from face-to-face to video therapy were interviewed. The interviews were then transcribed, coded and superordinate themes were created in the context of a qualitative analysis.

Development and validation of the Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms-II-German version.

The expanded version of the Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS-II) is a 99-item self-report measure containing 18 nonoverlapping dimensional scales assessing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mania. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a German adaptation of the IDAS-II. Participants from a community sample (N = 1,054) completed the IDAS-II (German version).

Addressing the Mental Health Challenges of Refugees-A Regional Network-Based Approach in Middle Hesse Germany.

Refugees constitute a vulnerable group with an increased risk of developing trauma-related disorders. From a clinician's integrative perspective, navigating the detrimental impact of the social, economic, structural, and political factors on the mental health of refugees is a daily experience. Therefore, a collective effort must be made to reduce health inequities.

A Systematic Review of Momentary Assessment Designs for Mood and Anxiety Symptoms.

Altering components of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) measures to better suit the purposes of individual studies is a common and oftentimes necessary step. Though the inherent flexibility in EMA has its benefits, no resource exists to provide an overview of the variability in how convergent constructs and symptoms have been assessed in the past. The present study fills that gap by examining EMA measurement design for mood and anxiety symptomatology.

Savouring and psychological well-being in family dyads coping with cancer: An actor-partner interdependence model.

Previous studies have investigated interdependence of the associations between predictors and negative psychological outcomes in dyads of cancer patients and family caregivers. This study examined the dyadic effects of perceived capability of savouring the moment on psychological well-being. A total of 152 dyads of cancer patients and caregivers reported their perceived capability of savouring the moment (Savoring Beliefs Inventory), state positive affect (Chinese Affect Scale) and life satisfaction (Satisfaction With Life Scale) within 6 months following diagnosis.
