The experience of seeking and accessing help from mental health services among young people of Eastern European backgrounds: A qualitative interview study Psychol. Psychother. Theory Res. Pract. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Jerica Radez, Chiara Causier, Daniel Maughan, Felicity Waite, Louise Johns
ObjectivesMost lifetime mental health problems (MHP) start before the age of 25. Yet young people—particularly those of minority backgrounds—often do not seek or access professional help. In the UK, young people of Eastern European (EE) backgrounds represent a large minority group; however, little is known about their experiences of MHP and help‐seeking. In this study, we aim to understand the help‐seeking

A qualitative investigation into care‐leavers' experiences of accessing mental health support Psychol. Psychother. Theory Res. Pract. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Alice R. Phillips, Rachel M. Hiller, Sarah L. Halligan, Iris Lavi, John A. A. Macleod, David Wilkins
IntroductionPeople who grew up under the care of children's social services are a highly vulnerable group, with 50% of this population meeting the criteria for a mental health problem at any one time. Emerging evidence suggests that there is a disparity between the number of people who require support, and those that receive it, and that they face several barriers to accessing timely and effective

Clarifying relations of emotion regulation, emotional avoidance and anxiety symptoms in a community‐based treatment‐seeking sample Psychol. Psychother. Theory Res. Pract. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-27 Rachel C. Bock, Lucas D. Baker, Emily A. Kalantar, Christopher R. Berghoff, Joel C. Stroman, Kim L. Gratz, Matthew T. Tull
ObjectivesAnxiety is a global problem that is readily treatable with psychosocial interventions, though many individuals do not benefit following participation in extant treatment protocols. Accordingly, clarification of process‐related variables that may be leveraged to enhance outcomes appears warranted. Emotion regulation (ER) is a robust correlate of anxiety symptoms and is often targeted in behavioural

Does insecure attachment lead to psychosis via dissociation? A systematic review of the literature Psychol. Psychother. Theory Res. Pract. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Joseph Puckett, Monica Sood, Katherine Newman-Taylor
Insecure attachment may constitute a vulnerability factor for psychosis, and dissociation may be a key mechanism in the development of auditory hallucinations specifically. While there is good evidence for the role of these processes in isolation, it is unclear whether dissociation accounts for the association between insecure attachment and psychosis. This systematic review takes a theory-driven approach

(IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-08-03 Angus MacBeth, Hope Christie, Lisa Golds, Francisca Morales, Aigli Raouna, Vilas Sawrikar, Karri Gillespie-Smith
There has been substantial progress made across multiple disciplines to emphasize the importance of perinatal mental health both for parents and offspring. This focuses on what has been termed the ‘First 1000 Days’ from conception to the child's second birthday. We argue that our understanding of this issue can go further to create an intergenerational approach to mental health. Despite the existence
