A meta-analysis of mortality rates in eating disorders: An update of the literature from 2010 to 2024 Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2025-01-12 Isabel Krug, Shanshan Liu, Jade Portingale, Sarah Croce, Beya Dar, Katrina Obleada, Veena Satheesh, Meila Wong, Matthew Fuller-Tyszkiewicz
Elevated mortality rates have been reported in individuals with eating disorders (EDs). However, no meta-analysis in the past decade has provided an updated, comprehensive synthesis of mortality across all ED diagnoses while exploring potential moderating factors. We conducted a systematic search in four databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science) from 2010 to 29 Oct 2024. Studies that

Involuntary autobiographical memories as a transdiagnostic factor in mental disorders Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2025-01-10 Yanyan Shan, David C. Rubin, Dorthe Berntsen
Involuntary autobiographical memories are memories of personal events that come to mind with no preceding retrieval attempts. They have been studied broadly in autobiographical memory for decades and shown to be common and mostly positive in everyday life. Clinical literature has focused on negative intrusive memories of stressful events and tended to neglect other forms of involuntary autobiographical

Concerns persist about the potential negative impact of asking young people about their trauma experiences in a research context. Previous research on this ethical issue has focused on adult populations, and the limited evidence for young people has limitations. This systematic review synthesised empirical evidence of young people's reactions to trauma-focused research, and associated participant and

Mental illness and personal recovery: A narrative identity framework Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2025-01-09 Dorthe Kirkegaard Thomsen, Henry R. Cowan, Dan P. McAdams
This article presents a metamorphic model to describe the manifold role of narrative identity, a person's internal life story, across the course of mental illness and personal recovery. First, early adversity and negative co-authoring may contribute to the development of a fragile life story, which itself may combine with life stressors to increase the likelihood of mental illness. Second, mental illness

Towards an understanding of readiness for trauma-focussed therapy in post-traumatic stress disorder: A conceptual integration of empirical data and theoretical constructs Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-12-27 Sarah Bendall, Wilma Peters, Ilias Kamitsis
For people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the concept of being ‘ready’ for trauma-focused therapy (TFT) has emerged from research as an important factor in initiation and completion of therapy. Lack of readiness of individual service users has been proposed as a reason for poor uptake of TFT in large implementation programs. However, there has been almost no investigation of what constitutes

Although system justification—believing that the societal status quo is legitimate and desirable—is positively associated with subjective well-being and mental health outcomes for members of advantaged groups, the picture is more complicated for members of disadvantaged minority groups. According to system justification theory, believing that the social system is legitimate and desirable is a way of

What is fidelity? A systematic review of provider fidelity and its associations with engagement and outcomes in parenting programs Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-12-17 Sydni A.J. Basha, Joanna J. Kim, Qiyue Cai, Mary Kuckertz, Abigail H. Gewirtz
As developers and practitioners translate parenting interventions from research to practice, significant heterogeneity in provider fidelity and parent engagement with the program has contributed to observed declines in intervention effectiveness. Despite this, empirical investigations of the relationship between provider fidelity, parent engagement, and intervention outcomes are scarce and those that

Why most research based on the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test is unsubstantiated and uninterpretable: A response to Murphy and Hall (2024) Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-12-12 Wendy C. Higgins, David M. Kaplan, Eliane Deschrijver, Robert M. Ross
Murphy and Hall (2024) present two criticisms of our review of construct validity evidence reporting practices for the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET; Higgins, Kaplan, Deschrijver, & Ross, 2024). Namely, they argue that we conflated poor reporting practices with poor validity and that our conclusions about the validity of RMET scores relied too heavily on structural validity evidence at the

Functional Somatic Disorders (FSD) is an umbrella term for various conditions characterized by persistent and troublesome physical symptoms, that are not better explained by other psychiatric or somatic conditions. Personality traits may play a crucial role in FSD, but the link is not fully understood. This study presents a systematic review and meta-analysis examines the relationship between the Five-Factor

How a strong measurement validity review can go astray: A look at Higgins et al. (2024) and recommendations for future measurement-focused reviews Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-11-29 Brett A. Murphy, Judith A. Hall
Critical reviews of a test's measurement validity are valuable scientific contributions, yet even strong reviews can be undermined by subtle problems in how evidence is compiled and presented to readers. First, if discussions of poor reporting practices by a test's users are interwoven with discussions about validity support for the test itself, readers can be inadvertently misled into impressions

Do the effects of internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (i-CBT) last after a year and beyond? A meta-analysis of 154 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-11-16 Nur Hani Zainal, Chui Pin Soh, Natalia Van Doren, Corina Benjet
Although the short-term efficacy of internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (i-CBT) is well-established, its long-term efficacy remains understudied. Robust variance estimation meta-analysis was thus conducted across guided and self-guided i-CBT, synthesizing data from 154 randomized controlled trials (N = 45,335) with ≥ 12-month follow-ups. For binary outcomes, guided (52.3% vs. 38.6%; log-risk

Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is a psychophysical experimental measure of endogenous pain inhibition in humans. Within this paradigm, one noxious stimulus, the conditioning stimulus (CS), reduces the pain perception from another heterotopic noxious stimulus, the test stimulus (TS). Cognitive processes are known to influence pain perception and might impact the underlying mechanisms of CPM. This

Altered representation of peripersonal and interpersonal space in psychopathology Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-10-29 Hyeon-Seung Lee, Daphne J. Holt, Sohee Park
The space surrounding the body, and the regulation of this buffer zone play a central role in adaptive behavior, with direct implications for psychopathology. The physical distance that we choose to maintain between ourselves and others for social comfort is known as Interpersonal Distance (IPD), whereas the action space that marks the perceptual border between the self and the external world is known

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between sensory processing differences and internalising/externalising problems in autism Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-10-29 Yixin Chen, Zhenyang Xi, Rob Saunders, David Simmons, Vasiliki Totsika, Will Mandy
There is evidence to suggest that sensory processing differences (SPDs) to external stimuli are a plausible underlying mechanism for mental health problems among autistic people. In the current systematic review, we examined the associations between, on the one hand, eleven types of SPDs and, on the other hand, internalising and externalising problems. The literature search was conducted on five databases

Motor actions across psychiatric disorders: A research domain criteria (RDoC) perspective Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 13.7) Pub Date : 2024-10-28 K. Juston Osborne, Sebastian Walther, Vijay A. Mittal
The motor system is critical for understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of mental illness. Abnormalities in the processes that allow us to plan and execute movement in a goal-directed, context-appropriate manner (i.e., motor actions) are especially central to clinical motor research. Within this context, the NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework now includes a Motor Actions construct
