TL;DR: Examples to clinicians are provided for how to apply an inhibitory learning model of extinction to optimize exposure therapy with anxious clients, in ways that distinguish it from a 'fear habituation' approach and 'belief disconfirmation' approach within standard cognitive-behavior therapy.
TL;DR: Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) has attracted a lot of interest during the last 10-15 years with a strong increase of the number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as mentioned in this paper.
TL;DR: Dialectical behavior therapy skills training (DBT-ST) is a promising treatment for emotion dysregulation for depressed and anxious transdiagnostic adults, although more assessment of feasibility is needed.
TL;DR: DBT with the DBT PE protocol is feasible, acceptable, and safe to administer, and may lead to larger improvements in PTSD, intentional self-injury, and other outcomes than DBT alone.
TL;DR: Findings support the use of self-compassion as another adaptive emotion regulation strategy for patients with major depressive disorder, especially for those suffering from high levels of depressed mood.
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided for the hypotheses that deficits in emotion regulation may contribute to the development of depression and that interventions systematically enhancing adaptive emotion regulation skills may help prevent and treat depressive symptoms.
TL;DR: Mindfulness-based group therapy significantly improved sexual desire and other indices of sexual response, and should be considered in the treatment of women's sexual dysfunction.
TL;DR: The RDoC endeavor faces several methodological and conceptual challenges, four of which are addressed here: an overemphasis on biological units and measures, neglect of measurement error, biological and psychometric limitations of endophenotypes, and the distinction between biological predispositions and their behavioral manifestations.
TL;DR: Findings have important implications for clinicians discussing mindfulness-based interventions with their participants, in particular in relation to MBCT, where the amount of participant engagement in home practice appears to have a significant positive impact on outcome.
TL;DR: Overall, although some positive findings were identified, the value of e-therapy for eating disorders must be viewed as uncertain and further research, with improved methods, is needed to establish the effectiveness.
TL;DR: Findings support the effectiveness of CBT compared to no intervention for youth with anxiety disorders, with no significant differences between ICBT and GCBT, but the relatively low recovery rates highlight the need for further improvement ofCBT programs and their transportability from university to community settings.
TL;DR: Cognitive flexibility may not find cognitive restructuring as useful to alleviate emotional distress as those with better cognitive flexibility, but those with poorer cognitive flexibility can still benefit from standardised CBT, even if their use of cognitive restructuring is less effective.
TL;DR: Greater likelihood of excluding clients from exposure was associated with higher therapist anxiety sensitivity and endorsement of negative beliefs about exposure therapy, and training implications of these findings are discussed.
TL;DR: The neural circuits underlying fear extinction in rodents and healthy humans are reviewed and how these circuits may fail to extinguish fear in patients with anxiety disorders are reviewed.
TL;DR: Individually tailored ICBT is an effective and cost-effective treatment for primary-care patients with anxiety disorders with or without comorbidities, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio favored ICBT compared to control group.
TL;DR: HEAL has the potential to be an effective, well-tolerated tool to reduce the burden of significant pre-clinical PGD and further research is needed to refine and to assess its efficacy and mechanisms of action in a large-scale trial.
TL;DR: Change in attention bias mediated the relationship between AMP group (active condition reported by Carlbring et al. versus AMP + FACT) and change in social anxiety symptoms, suggesting the importance of interpreting findings related to symptom change in attention training studies in the context of bias effects.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that guided Internet-delivered ACT intervention can be as effective as ACT-based face- to-face treatment for outpatients reporting depressive symptoms, and it may offer some advantages over a face-to-face intervention.
TL;DR: It is highlighted that lay therapists can be trained to effectively assess each other's therapy sessions as well as experts, and that peer-led supervision is acceptable for lay therapists, thus, enhancing the scalability of psychological treatments in low-resource settings.
TL;DR: A novel fear-potentiated startle paradigm including Pavlovian and instrumental components is validated, with greater generalization of Pavlovians fear associated with overgeneralization of maladaptive instrumental-avoidance.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that repetitive negative thinking is an important transdiagnostic factor and rumination and worry are partly responsible for the cross-sectional and prospective co-occurrence of affective disorders and may be suitable targets for treatment.
TL;DR: The study failed to find support for the standard approach to trigger management of advising avoidance, but LCT emerged as a promising strategy for graduated exposure to selected triggers to promote desensitization.
TL;DR: Changes in weekly frequency and success of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, as well as weekly intensity of social anxiety among patients receiving 16 weekly sessions of individual CBT, are examined.
TL;DR: It is argued that the burgeoning field of behavioural neuroscience may advance the understanding of fear, anxiety disorders and its treatments and insights from neuroscience on the malleability of fear memory with the potential to provide a long-term cure for anxiety and related disorders are presented.
TL;DR: The results suggest that an internet program for preschool anxiety is feasible, efficacious and well received by parents and significantly reduces clinical severity, anxiety symptoms and internalising behaviour.
TL;DR: The results show promising evidence for CBT for perfectionism, especially when offered face to face, where sustained benefit across a broad range of outcomes can be expected.
TL;DR: While all participants experienced reductions in PTSD symptoms, participants in the ABM group experienced significantly fewer PTSD and depressive symptoms at post-treatment when compared to the ACC group.
TL;DR: Results indicated that the mindfulness intervention increased state mindfulness and relaxation, and decreased NA immediately following the mindfulness Intervention, however, the Mindfulness intervention did not influence responses to NA induction on any of the outcome variables at T3.
TL;DR: Evidence that interpersonal stress could have substantial impact on course of depression is consistent with theories of emerging adulthood, a time when young people are individuating from the family and experiencing significant social transition.
