Waiting lists for psychotherapy for patients with personality disorders are increasing; there is an imbalance between the number of patients seeking help and the amount of therapy available. Thus, there is a need for time-limited treatments that are effective for specific patients and their specific problems. This pilot randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness of two 8-week group modules + treatment as usual (TAU): schema mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (SMBCT) and competitive memory therapy (COMET) with special attention to predictors and mediators of change. Patients ( = 58) were randomized to either SMBCT + TAU or COMET + TAU. The dropout rate was 34%. Time effects were found for both treatments, but neither was more effective than the other, and around 23% showed deterioration after treatment. Explorative analyses suggested that predictors for change were severity of psychological distress and a demanding and/or punitive attitude toward oneself at baseline. Global severity index change in the beginning of the treatment mediated schema changes later on in treatment. SMBCT + TAU and COMET + TAU might be mostly suitable for patients with high levels of symptom severity followed by high scores on parent modes. More research is needed to tailor these time-limited therapies to specific personality problems. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

Mindfulness and CBT: a conceptual integration bridging ancient wisdom and modern cognitive theories of psychopathology.

With the rapid expansion of mindfulness and its incorporation into the "third wave" of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), there has been evident confusion about what mindfulness is and how it relates to this broader category of interventions. In this article, I define mindfulness and CBT, and differentiate them while highlighting their substantial overlap. Specifically, I discuss the Buddhist Psychological Model and how it relates to the foundational cognitive model, demonstrating the common threads that run across these seemingly disparate philosophies.

Article Synopsis
- The traditional treatment for panic disorder focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but new approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) are gaining traction.
- An integrated treatment protocol combining elements of CBT and MBCT was applied over 16 sessions to a 31-year-old woman, tailored to her unique personality and clinical needs.
- The first phase utilized CBT to address her misunderstandings of bodily sensations, and the second phase incorporated MBCT techniques to enhance awareness, reduce anxiety reactivity, and improve her overall quality of life, helping to prevent relapse.
Protocol of the HARMONY study: A culturally relevant, randomized-controlled, stress management intervention to reduce cardiometabolic risk in African American women.
Contemp Clin Trials

Physical Medicine Rehab, School of Medicine, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, United States of America.
Background: African American Women (AAW) are at high risk for stress-related cardiometabolic (CM) conditions including obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Prior interventions lack attention to culturally-nuanced stress phenomena (Superwoman Schema [SWS], contextualized stress, and network stress), which are positively and significantly associated with unhealthy eating and sedentary behavior.
Purpose: The HARMONY Study is designed to test a culturally tailored mindfulness-based stress management intervention to address SWS, contextualized stress, and network stress as potential barriers to adherence to healthy exercise and eating goals.
Efficacy and acceptability of third-wave psychotherapies in the treatment of depression: a network meta-analysis of controlled trials.

Introduction: In recent decades, various new psychotherapy approaches have been developed in an effort to overcome issues of non-response, referred to as "third-wave psychotherapies." How third-wave therapies perform in comparison to each other, to classical CBT, or other common comparators in the treatment of depression has not yet been systematically assessed.
Methods: We firstly determined the scope of the term "third-wave" by conducting a systematic search.

A large patient subgroup (15-35%) with difficult-to-treat depression (DTD) differs from patients with non-DTD in both psychopathological complexity and the effect of treatment. This review investigates how the effect of psychotherapy is lower than for non-TRD, possibly related to differing personal characteristics. Psychotherapies such as the cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and schema therapy are promising yet understudied treatment options.
