cpe: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called cpe.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Article; Health; Treatment; Europe; Participants; Symptoms; Psychotherapy; Depression; Anxiety; Therapy; Patients; Disorder; Self; Intervention; Cbt; Effects; Scale; Icd-11; Stress; Factor; Data; Psychologists; Children; Fear; Body; European; Eating; Specific; Suicide; Christmas; Science; Fava; Inference

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Innovations of the ICD-11 in the Field of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Psychological Approach by Greaves-Lord, Kirstin; Skuse, David; Mandy, William (2022) - Autistic people may struggle to understand non-autistic people, but also, non-autistic people frequently struggle to empathise with autistic people. People with an ASD diagnosis vary in terms of their social motivation, although ICD-11 states that there is a tendency for them, compared to non-autistic people, to show less interest in social interactions, and be less likely to pay attention to other people’s verbal and non-verbal social cues.

• Do We Need a Novel Framework for Classifying Psychopathology? A Discussion Paper by Rief, Winfried; Hofmann, Stefan G.; Berg, Max; Forbes, Miriam K.; Pizzagalli, Diego A.; Zimmermann, Johannes; Fried, Eiko; Reed, Geoffrey M. (2023) - Prediction Recent work has suggested that studying the dynamic features of disorder systems over time may enable researchers to predict upcoming transitions into and out of mental disorders (Olthof et al., 2020; van de Leemput et al., 2014; Wichers et al., 2016). Criterion A of the AMPD states that impairments in specific functions of the self (e.g., identity, self-worth, capacity for self-direction) and interpersonal relationships (e.g., capacity for empathy, cooperation, and intimacy) constitute PD and distinguish it from the state of mental health and other mental disorders.

• Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Hope in Medicine Scale by Balthasar, Lea; Bräscher, Anne-Kathrin; Kaptchuk, Ted J.; Ballou, Sarah K.; Kube, Tobias (2024) - Realistic hope correlated significantly with treatment expectancies, speaking to its convergent validity as the items assessing realistic hope also relate to desired improvements following placebo treatment which could be considered probable. In terms of the modes-of-hoping framework, we assessed hope regarding symptom improvement (realistic hope), hope for full remission of symptoms and/or being cured from allergic rhinitis in the future (wishful hope), and hope that taking part in a research study would contribute to greater knowledge about allergic rhinitis and its treatment (utopian hope).

• Uncertainty Breeds Anxiety and Depression: The Impact of the Russian Invasion in Ukraine on a Swedish Clinical Population Receiving Internet-Based Psychotherapy by Hlynsson, Jón Ingi; Gustafsson, Oskar; Carlbring, Per (2024) - A score of 8 or higher is a diagnostic indicator of anxiety disorders (Luo et al., 2019; Spitzer et al., 2006). As noted in the introduction, in­ tolerance of uncertainty, which may underpin many psychopathological impairments to daily functioning, has been suggested to be more pronounced in anxiety disorders than depression (Jensen et al., 2016).

• Empirically Informed, Idiographic Networks of Concordant and Discordant Motives: An Experience Sampling Study With Network Analysis in Non-Clinical Participants by Lüdtke, Thies; Steiner, Fabian; Berger, Thomas; Westermann, Stefan (2025) - Motive network A (Participant 72) depicts uniformly positive edges, indicating no conflict, motive network B (Participant 71) depicts multiple moderately negative edges (29% conflict proportion), motive network C (Participant 41) shows few but strong negative edges (-.33 maximum conflict), and motive network D shows a case of maximum concordance (.61 maximum concordance). The internal consistency of approach motive satisfaction has been reported as good (.84; Grosse Holtforth & Grawe, 2003) and the correlation between the short and the long version of the INC was high in the present sample (r = .62, p < .001), illustrating the validity of the INC-S in the ESM setting (for both scales, the seven most important motives based on the IAAM were used).

• Mind the Gap – Ideas for Making Clinical Research More Relevant for Practitioners and Patients by Berg, Max; Schemer, Lea; Kirchner, Lukas; Scholten, Saskia (2024) - In qualitative investigations, therapists describe the “unrepresentativeness of RCTs” as a reason for why they do not regard clinical research as an important foundation for their everyday decision making (Gyani et al., 2015). Idea Three: Monitor Individual Trajectories With Sufficient Resolution In clinical research and practice, diagnostic instruments are usually collected at only a few points in time (e.g., before and after treatment).

• Four Versions of Transtheoretical Stances, and the Bernese View by Caspar, Franz; Berger, Thomas (2024) - E-mail: franz.caspar@unibe.ch Related: This article is part of the CPE Special Issue “Transtheoretical Psychological Therapy – New Perspectives for Clinical Training and Practice”, Editors: Wolfgang Lutz & Winfried Rief, Clinical Psychology in Europe, 6(Special Issue), https://doi.org/10.32872/10.32872/cpe.v6.si Abstract A brief characterization of transtheoretical stances to which existing approaches can be allocated is followed by a description of the Bernese view, that is, what Klaus Grawe and his colleagues, including the authors of this article have developed: the origins, a model of the multiple constraint satisfaction construction of therapist action, a discussion of psychotherapy integration, the crucial role of supervisors in an integrative multiple constraint satisfaction approach, and a discussion of when and how trainees should be introduced to a transtheoretical stance. 4. Start with a particular, ideally already integrative, approach, then strive for continuous development, integrating further conceptual and practical elements not only from existing approaches to psychotherapy, but also basic science.

• The History of Clinical Psychology in Greece: A Brief Review – Legal Deficiencies, Practical Dimensions and Challenges for the Future by Flora, Katerina (2024) - E- mail: kflora@uowm.gr Abstract Background: The history of clinical psychology in Greece spans more than 150 years. Aims: This article intends to highlight, chronologically, the basic elements of the history of clinical psychology in Greece, beginning with the important contribution of the work of philologist Panagiota Kazolea-Tavoularis. Results: From the first references in the context of medical studies during the 19th century, clinical psychology gradually develops through its application in pedagogical, laboratory, and clinical contexts to become an independent discipline alongside the consolidation of general psychology.

• The Effects of Mindfulness-Focused Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Elevated Levels of Stress and Symptoms of Exhaustion Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial by Vernmark, Kristofer; Hursti, Timo; Blom, Victoria; Asplund, Robert Persson; Nathanson, Elise; Engelro, Linda; Radvogin, Ella; Andersson, Gerhard (2024) - Subgroup analyses have revealed greater improvement in guided interventions (Heber et al., 2017) and recent trials have suggested that ICBT stress interventions could have long-lasting effects (12 months post-treatment) and accelerate recovery and return to work (Asplund et al., 2023). The effects are long-lasting (Andersson et al., 2018) and similar to face-to-face treatment (Hedman‐Lagerlöf et al., 2023).

• I’m Still Standing: Body Sway, Interpersonal Distance, and Social Anxiety – A Proof of Principle by Lange, Wolf-Gero; Hagenaars, Muriel A. (2025) - E-mail: gero.lange@ru.nl Abstract Background and Objectives: Cognitive models suggest that individuals with high degrees of social anxiety (SAs) tend to incorrectly interpret (ambiguous) social cues as negative evaluations and thus justifying their fears. Method: Of 87 participants with varying degrees of social anxiety, body sway was recorded by means of a stabilometric platform, while a fe-/male experimenter was gradually approaching.

• Transdiagnostic Network Mapping of Psychopathology in Daily Life: Rationale and Research Protocol by Guðmundsdóttir, Guðrún R.; Roefs, Anne; Jover Martínez, Alberto; Jansen, Anita; Fried, Eiko I.; Groot, Esmée; Lemmens, Lotte H. J. M. (2025) - Through this mapping, we seek to achieve the following three central objectives: (1) identifying differences across people in individual transdiagnostic networks of psy­ chopathology; (2) linking these individual differences to transdiagnostic traits (e.g., self- control), variables in the external field (i.e., contextual factors, such as social support), and disorder classifications (e.g., DSM diagnoses); and (3) clustering individuals based on their networks to see whether network similarities can point to meaningful subgroups and whether network-based clusters overlap with common disorder classifications (e.g., DSM). This protocol paper describes a large-scale ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study in a clinical sample embedded within a larger initiative to evaluate the scientific and clinical utility of this approach (Roefs et al., 2022).

• Revisiting the Cognitive Model of Depression: The Role of Expectations by Rief, Winfried; Joormann, Jutta (2019) - If depressed patients re‐ ceived strategies that inhibited cognitive immunization, the change to positive feedback resulted also in a change of negative expectations to positive expectations (Kube et al., 2018a). Beck’s original for‐ mulation of the cognitive triad in depression can be easily transformed to expectations: negative expectations for outcomes relevant to the self, negative expectations about oth‐ er’s behavior, and finally negative expectations about future events.

However, not all cases of MDD onset are preceded by a stressful life event (Hammen, 2005), suggesting that hot cognitive biases may indeed be a correlate of depressive symptoms rather than an initiating event for onset.

• From Formative Research to Cultural Adaptation of a Face-to-Face and Internet-Based Cognitive-Behavioural Intervention for Arabic-Speaking Refugees in Germany by Böttche, Maria; Kampisiou, Christina; Stammel, Nadine; El-Haj-Mohamad, Rayan; Heeke, Carina; Burchert, Sebastian; Heim, Eva; Wagner, Birgit; Renneberg, Babette; Böttcher, Johanna; Glaesmer, Heide; Gouzoulis-Mayfrank, Euphrosyne; Zielasek, Jürgen; Konnopka, Alexander; Murray, Laura; Knaevelsrud, Christine (2021) - The process of cultural adaptation was based on a conceptual framework and was facilitated by an adaptation monitoring form as well as guidelines which facilitate the reporting of cultural adaptation in psychological trials (RECAPT). To overcome this weakness, a conceptual framework for cultural adaptation of inter­ ventions for common mental disorders was developed (Heim & Kohrt, 2019).

H. (2021) - Behavioral activation treatments of depression: A meta-analysis. Studies assessing the activation level as a mediator of depression treatment have not complied with all these requirements (Janssen et al., 2020), with some adopting small samples (e.g., <40 per trial arm) (Gaynor & Harris, 2008) and others using too few repeat observations (e.g., <3) (Richards et al., 2017; Weidberg et al., 2021) or no control group (e.g., Santos et al., 2019).

• Acute Effect of Physical Exercise on Negative Affect in Borderline Personality Disorder: A Pilot Study by St-Amour, Samuel; Cailhol, Lionel; Ruocco, Anthony C.; Bernard, Paquito (2022) - Affect Measurement An experimental procedure was implemented to induce a state of negative affect, which is a common approach in affective science research (Barrett et al., 2007; Barrett & Bliss‐Moreau, 2009; Kuppens et al., 2013; Posner et al., 2005). Different strategies are used to induce negative emotions, including frustrating tasks (Gratz et al., 2006; Sauer & Baer, 2012), electric shocks (Seibert-Hatalsky & Wilson, 2011), videos of sexual abuse or domestic violence (Chapman et al., 2010; Daros, Williams, et al., 2018; Elices et al., 2012; Jacob et al., 2011), remembering negative memories (Sauer & Baer, 2012), music (Diedrich et al., 2016) or emotionally charged images (Sloan et al., 2010).

• Selected Trends in Psychotherapy Research: An Index Analysis of RCTs by Rief, Winfried; Kopp, Melina; Awarzamani, Roya; Weise, Cornelia (2022) - The RCT investigated one or more of the following psychological treatment approaches: cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), psychodynamic treatments, internet- based psychological treatments and other digital approaches using new technologies (eHealth, mHealth, uHealth), mindfulness-based intervention (mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), systemic psychological therapy, schema therapy and emotion-focused therapy (EFT). A specific problem is evident for CBT treatments, although it partly applies to other treatments as well: labels and approaches for one treatment approach can be very diverse, thus preventing them to be covered by search terms (e.g., some textbooks on CBT report up to 100 different techniques).

• Web-Based Imagery Behavioral Activation (WIMBA): Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial Testing the Effects, Acceptability, and Feasibility of a Mental Imagery Activity Scheduling Training Delivered Online by Heise, Max; Bruijniks, Sanne J. E.; Renner, Fritz (2024) - Specifically, we expect to find (1) an increase in behavioral activation, measured with the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale (BADS; Kanter et al., 2007) weekly from baseline to Session 4 and at two-week follow-up, and (2) a decrease in depressive symptoms, measured with the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck et al., 1996) at baseline, Session 4, and at two-week follow-up, for participants in the Imagery BA condition, compared to participants in the wait-list control condition. Multiple studies on BA procedures have linked these interventions to increases in self-reported levels of behavioral activation and to decreases of depressive symptoms (Stein et al., 2021), and even suggested that behavioral activation may play a role across different types of psychotherapies (Bruijniks et al., 2022).

• Looking on the Bright Side Reduces Worry in Pregnancy: Training Interpretations in Pregnant Women by Hirsch, Colette R.; Meeten, Frances; Newby, Jill M.; O'Halloran, Sophie; Gordon, Calum; Krzyzanowski, Hannah; Moulds, Michelle L. (2021) - Given evidence that negative interpretation bias maintains worry, we tested whether interpretation bias could be modified, and whether this in turn would lead to less negative thought (i.e., worry) intrusions, in pregnant women with high levels of worry. Interpretation assessment task - Recognition Test — The first phase of this task (Hirsch et al., 2018; adapted from Mathews & Mackintosh, 2000) requires participants to read a series of ambiguous scenarios.

• Imagery Rescripting Versus Cognitive Restructuring for Social Anxiety: Treatment Effects and Working Mechanisms by Strohm, Miriam; Siegesleitner, Marena; Kunze, Anna E.; Ehring, Thomas; Wittekind, Charlotte (2021) - Based on evidence that mental imagery elicits stronger emotions than verbal thinking (Holmes & Mathews, 2010), it is conceivable that generating images with alternative meanings during ImRs is associated with stronger emotional activation than questioning maladap­ tive beliefs verbally (Holmes et al., 2009). Imagery Rescripting (ImRs) has been found to be a promising intervention to target aversive memories, but mechanisms underlying ImRs are largely unknown.

• Fear of Happiness Predicts Concurrent but not Prospective Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents by Kock, Merle; Belmans, Eline; Raes, Filip (2023) - According to reward devaluation theory, such an association of positivity with negative outcomes will result in positive stimuli being devalued over time, contributing to or maintaining depressive symptoms. The prospective relationship between fears of positivity and depressive symptoms is yet to be examined in adolescents.

M.; Wiers, Reinout W. H. J.; Bögels, Susan M.; Klein, Anke M. (2024) - To answer the first research question – how social anxiety symptoms in adolescents are related to self-perceived and peer-perceived likeability and the perception accuracy of likeability by peers - we first studied how both self-perceived and peer-perceived likeability were related to social anxiety in adolescents (Goal 1a). In addition, it was found that older children with social anxiety symptoms were more likely to underestimate their likeability by peers than younger children (Baartmans et al., 2020).

A reduction in preoccupation symptoms during the earlier stages of the stress-response may be related to a decrease in failure to adapt symptoms.

• An Overview of the Evidence for Psychological Interventions for Psychosis: Results From Meta-Analyses by Lincoln, Tania M.; Pedersen , Anya (2019) - Moreover, the differences in methodological rigour, the inclusion criteria, and the classification of therapy approaches (e.g. inconsistency in what is counted as CBT) result in high levels of heterogeneity in the findings and make it diffi‐ cult to directly compare different meta-analyses. In Germany, studies indicate that only a minority of psychosis patients have access to evidence-based psychotherapy (Schlier & Lincoln, 2016).

• Pre-Sleep Arousal and Fear of Sleep in Trauma-Related Sleep Disturbances: A Cluster-Analytic Approach by Werner, Gabriela G.; Danböck, Sarah K.; Metodiev, Stanislav; Kunze, Anna E. (2020) - During the last decade, the body of research on sleep disturbances in trauma- and stressor-related disorders, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), has rapidly grown. Sleep disturbances following traumatic experiences are mostly conceptualized as symptoms of insomnia (e.g., difficulties falling or staying asleep) and recurrent night‐ mares (Pace-Schott & Bottary, 2018), which were previously seen as secondary symptoms of PTSD (Spoormaker & Montgomery, 2008).

• Functional Somatic Symptoms and Emotion Regulation in Children and Adolescents by Jungmann, Stefanie M.; Wagner, Louisa; Klein, Marlene; Kaurin, Aleksandra (2022) - Therefore, to narrow this gap in the literature, in two studies we aimed at systematically investigating the relationships between parent and child emotion regulation and parent and child somatization (parental somatization only assessed in Study 2). Based on the transgenerational model (Stone & Wilson, 2016) and previous findings, suggesting that female gender and increasing age in youth are associated with FSS (Lieb et al., 2000; Stone & Wilson, 2016), it was assumed that beyond age and gender and parental emotion regulation, child emotion regulation is a significant predictor of FSS in children and adolescents.

• Integrating Metta Into CBT: How Loving Kindness and Compassion Meditation Can Enhance CBT for Treating Anxiety and Depression by Stefan, Simona Ioana; Hofmann, Stefan G. (2019) - Another type of compassion intervention, mindfulness-based compassionate living was administered online and was found to be ef‐ fective in reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms in participants with high levels of self-criticism, thus pointing to its potential as a transdiagnostic intervention (Krieger et al., 2019). In this sense, meta-analytic results show that loving kindness increases the level positive emotions, potentially more so the peaceful and prosocial emotions, to a larger extent compared to compassion interventions (Zeng et al., 2015).

• External Locus of Control but not Self-Esteem Predicts Increasing Social Anxiety Among Bullied Children by Graham, Belinda; Bowes, Lucy; Ehlers, Anke (2022) - The cognitive model of social anxiety disorder (Clark & Wells, 1995) posits that those suffering with social anxiety hold unhelpful beliefs about their ability to perform well in social situations that, when triggered in a social situation, lead to increased self-consciousness and self-monitoring. Lower self- esteem and more external locus of control are associated with bullying and social anxiety but the impact of these factors over time among bullied children is less clear.

• Increased Anxiety of Public Situations During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Evidence From a Community and a Patient Sample by Pittig, Andre; Glück, Valentina M.; Boschet, Juliane M.; Wong, Alex H. K.; Engelke, Paula (2021) - Interestingly, the direct increase in anxiety levels was higher in the community sample: patients reported higher anxiety levels than the community sample before, but not during the pandemic. However, high anxiety levels may result in persistent impairments and should be monitored during the pandemic.

• Sex Differences in the Outcome of Expressive Writing in Parents of Children With Leukaemia by Christiansen, Dorte Mølgaard; Martino, Maria Luisa; Elklit, Ask; Freda, Maria Francesca (2022) - Accord­ ingly, although the interaction between time and sex was statistically non-significant, the medium-to-large effect sizes found for both POMS total score and all but one of the subscale scores suggests that future studies may reveal women to benefit more from expressive writing interventions than men. That significant sex differences were found despite low statistical power highlights the impor­ tance of taking sex into account in intervention studies.

• The Effect of Television and Print News Stories on the Nocebo Responding Following a Generic Medication Switch by MacKrill, Kate; Gamble, Greg D.; Petrie, Keith (2020) - In addition to this analysis, the number of adverse reaction reports was modelled using general linear modelling (GLIMMIX) assuming a Poisson distribution to test for differences in the total number of reports in discrete time periods: 5 pre-media baseline months, 3 months during the print media stories, the next 3 months (a pre-TV, no media period), 4 months during which television media reports appeared, and an additional post-TV 3 months. This makes it more difficult to separate out media effects from background noise compared to a finer grain of measure‐ ment such as weekly reports.

• The Alliance Negotiation Scale – Therapist Version: Psychometric Properties in a Sample of Portuguese Psychologists by Nunes da Silva, Ana Catarina; Matos, Marta; Carvalho, Helena (2024) - An important body of literature have suggested that alliance negotiation is one of the most important elements of therapy and a common factor for different theoretical approaches (Baier et al., 2020; e.g., Wampold & Imel, 2015; Zilcha-Mano & Ben David-Sela, 2022). Currently, the measurement of alliance negotiation between clients and therapists is limited to a single self-report instrument, encompassing one scale from the clients' perspective (Doran et al., 2012, 2016) and another from the therapists’ perspective (Doran et al., 2018; Gómez-Penedo et al., 2019).

• Evaluation of the Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties of the German Version of the Clinical Perfectionism Questionnaire: The CPQ-D by Roth, Isabel; Cludius, Barbara; Egan, Sarah J.; Limburg, Karina (2021) - In order to focus on the clinically relevant aspects of perfectionism, Shafran, Cooper, and Fairburn (2002) proposed a model of clinical perfectionism, defined as an overdependence of self-evaluation on meeting personally demanding, self-imposed standards, despite adverse consequences (Shafran et al., 2002). Thus, the multidimensional construct of perfectionism (including perfectionis­ tic strivings and concerns) differs from clinical perfectionism as the definition of clinical perfectionism puts a central emphasis on self-worth being dependent on meeting high standards.

• The Role of Expectancy Violation in Extinction Learning: A Two-Day Online Fear Conditioning Study by Gromer, Daniel; Hildebrandt, Lea K.; Stegmann, Yannik (2023) - However, it is important to mention that on Day 2 we could retrieve the expected results for US-expectancy ratings, i.e., reduced US-expectancy ratings and thus a stronger retrieval of the CS-noUS association for the high compared to low expectancy violation groups, as predicted by the inhibitory learning model. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to provide evidence for the influence of expectancy violation on extinction retention by manipulating the magnitude of expectancy violation during extinction learning.

Furthermore, research has demonstrated that women tend to associate obesity with more negative emotions and worse illness perceptions than men (Henning et al., 2022), and that this mental image is negatively associated with dieting attempts and weight cycling (Prill et al., 2021).

• Is Singing Under the Christmas Tree Psychologically Recommended? A Scientific Evaluation by Kanske, Philipp; Rief, Winfried (2022) - Meta-analytically, group singing effects for mental health conditions reach moderate to large effect sizes in wellbeing and mental health improvements, mainly attributable to improved emotional states, sense of belonging and self-confidence in patients (Williams et al., 2018). This social attentiveness and adaptation increases group cohesion and accordingly, group singing even promotes feelings of social inclusion (Welch et al., 2014).
