Virtual reality (VR) treatments for anxiety disorders are unambiguously successful, so why are so few therapists using it? Barriers to adoption and potential solutions Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (IF 3.928) Pub Date : 2023-06-28 Tyler B. Wray, Joshua J. Kemp, Margo Adams Larsen
ABSTRACT Anxiety disorders are a significant cause of disability globally, yet only one in ten sufferers receives adequate quality treatment. Exposure-based therapies are effective in reducing symptoms associated with a number of anxiety disorders. However, few therapists use exposure techniques to treat these conditions, even when they are adequately trained in them, often because of concerns about

ABSTRACT Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective for pain relief in children and adolescents with functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs). However, few studies have focused on the FAPDs specifically and the medium-term or long-term results of CBT. In this meta-analysis, we investigated the efficacy of CBT in pediatric FAPDs and unclassified chronic or recurrent abdominal pain (CAP and RAP

ABSTRACT Individuals with Panic Disorder (PD) often have impaired insight, which can impede their willingness to seek treatment. Cognitive processes, including metacognitive beliefs, cognitive flexibility, and jumping to conclusions (JTC) may influence the degree of insight. By understanding the relationship between insight and these cognitive factors in PD, we can better identify individuals with

DuVall, Shira Maguen
ABSTRACT Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure therapy (PE) are effective psychotherapies for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, these treatments also have high rates of dropout and non-response. Therefore, patients may need a second course of treatment. We compared outcomes for patients who switched between CPT/PE and those who repeated CPT/PE during a second course

Web-based provider training of cognitive behavioral therapy of insomnia: engagement rates, knowledge acquisition, and provider acceptability Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (IF 3.928) Pub Date : 2022-01-31 Allison K. Wilkerson, Sophie Wardle-Pinkston, Jessica R. Dietch, Kristi E. Pruiksma, Richard Oliver Simmons, Brian E. Bunnell, Daniel J. Taylor
ABSTRACT Insomnia is common but severely underreported and undertreated. One possible reason for this problem is the lack of providers in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). To address this we created CBTIweb.org, an online training platform for providers to learn the basics of sleep, assessing insomnia, and CBT-I. The present study assessed the reach of CBTIweb by examining engagement

Do anxiety sensitivity and impulsivity interact in predicting exercise involvement in emerging adult drinkers and cannabis users? Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (IF 3.928) Pub Date : 2022-01-26 Megan K. Galbraith, Christopher E. J. DeWolfe, Sara Bartel, Janine V. Olthuis, Margo C. Watt, Sherry H. Stewart
ABSTRACT Anxiety sensitivity (AS; i.e. fear of arousal-related sensations) and impulsivity (i.e. tendency to act quickly without regard for longer-term consequences) represent risks for low physical activity participation. Theoretically, higher impulsivity may exacerbate the negative exercise behaviours of high AS individuals given the tendency of impulsive individuals to favour immediate (e.g. watching

Computer-delivered intervention for individuals with obesity and elevated anxiety sensitivity: feasibility, acceptability, and initial test Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (IF 3.928) Pub Date : 2022-01-17 Brooke Y. Kauffman, Matthew W. Gallagher, Andres G. Viana, Norman B. Schmidt, Michael J. Zvolensky
ABSTRACT Obesity is one the fastest growing public health problems related to numerous chronic diseases and frequently co-occurs with negative mood states. One promising approach to address the heterogeneity of affective vulnerabilities and obesity is to focus on processes (e.g. anxiety sensitivity [AS]) that underpin both conditions. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability
