Karin Pos,Agna A. Bartels-Velthuis,Claudia J. P. Simons,Nikie Korver-Nieberg,Carin J. Meijer,Lieuwe de Haan +5 more
TL;DR: The idea that an anxious attachment style is associated with worse ToM performance in patients is supported, and a potential protective role of higher levels of avoidant attachment on ToM is suggested.

The effect of childhood trauma and Five-Factor Model personality traits on exposure to adult life events in patients with psychotic disorders
Karin Pos,Lindy-Lou Boyette,Carin J. Meijer,Maarten W. J. Koeter,Lydia Krabbendam,Lieuwe de Haan +5 more
TL;DR: The association between childhood trauma and recent life events is partly mediated by personality, as positive life events may buffer against development of mental health problems.

Metacognitive training in patients recovering from a first psychosis: an experience sampling study testing treatment effects
TL;DR: It is tentatively suggest that patients with an early psychosis seemed to benefit from MCT in emotional learning compared with the OT condition, and subsequent individual MCT (MCT+) may be indicated for stronger favorable effects on paranoid ideation.
Economic evaluation of brief cognitive behavioural therapy for social activation in recent-onset psychosis
Ben F. M. Wijnen,Karin Pos,Eva Velthorst,Frederike Schirmbeck,Hoi Yau Chan,Lieuwe de Haan,Mark van der Gaag,Silvia M. A. A. Evers,Filip Smit,Filip Smit +9 more
TL;DR: In the Dutch context where TAU for psychosis is guideline congruent and well implemented there appears no added value for adjunct CBTsa, while in other settings where the treatment for the schizophrenia spectrum disorders solely relies on antipsychotics, add-on CBTma therapy is a cost-effective alternative.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for social activation in recent-onset psychosis: Randomized controlled trial.
Karin Pos,Nathalie Franke,Filip Smit,Ben F. M. Wijnen,Anton B P Staring,Mark van der Gaag,Carin J. Meijer,Lieuwe de Haan,Eva Velthorst,Frederike Schirmbeck +9 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the treatment duration may have been too short to change dysfunctional beliefs, a potentially important maintaining factor of negative symptom severity, and longer intervention periods in later, more stable stages of the illness when intensive standard treatment has tapered off may yield more beneficial effects.
