New preregistered preprint by @emkbridger.bsky.social (w J Maltby, @danielnettle.bsky.social & @larsklintwall.bsky.social). We queried a UK-representative lay sample to rated perceived causal influence between 20 biopsychosocial causes linked to mental health & poverty.

A new paper I’ve made a humble contribution to exemplifies benefits with SCEDs:

- Get preliminary effects data of an intervention (in this case Psychodrama)
- Let patients define their own outcomes
- Follow the therapeutic process within cases
(Shown are 3 cases out of 15)

An exceptionally lovely day in Oxford and Magdalen college, visiting the brilliant @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social

The perceived causal relations of one patient, day-by-day for three weeks. Presented by Julian Reichert (with some input and thinking from myself, @tfblanken.bsky.social & @julianburger.bsky.social) at the lovely and thoroughly interesting @saa2025leuven.bsky.social. Pre-print coming soon (n=10)

@eikofried.bsky.social being as kind and supportive as ever about our collab work on perceptions of social determinants months before i got my act together on bluesky. preprint accessible here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

1/3 🚨Case conceptualization at the next level: This study combines perceived causal networks with intensive longitudinal data to create individual, data-updated models of psychopathology. Read more 👇🏾

1/3 I think this is a nice use case for cross-sectional network analysis: to get a very basic idea of the nomological network of your target construct.
In this case, we look at biopsychosocial risk & resilience factors for postpartum depression in n=57,518 women.

Great suggestion thanks! My 3 year old really liked the movie :)

Very witty I presume 😁👍

‘Teen-friendly’ mindfulness therapy aims to help combat depression Researchers have developed a mindfulness therapy tailored specifically to appeal to teenagers to help them cope with increasing levels of depression and mental health problems.

Are you or do you know a teenager who struggles with low mood? If so we want to hear from you & you can find out more about what we are doing here www.cam.ac.uk/stories/ATTE...

Working on some network stuff. It's oddly satisfying going from this network spaghetti to something a bit more organized

Heres the Swedish version :)

Looks amazing!!

Yes exactly! Of course, this is an averaged group network and no single adolescent actually had this network . So that limits clinical application of this particular study :)

Totally agree! Also , the individual networks are way more interesting (the interview-version of the method has good enough reliability to look at individual adolescents)

Perceived causal symptom network of adolescent mental health issues Adolescent mental health is difficult to capture in categories such as depression or specific anxiety disorders. An alternative is to approach psychiatric symptoms as causal networks, potentially r...

Size = average self-reported severity. Sample is 87 % female. Most central nodes were “procrastination” & “overthinking”, i.e. not criteria for depression! doi.org/10.2989/1728...

Symptom network showing that some nodes are more central than others: stress, procrastination and overthinking

Published! ”Perceived causal symptom network of adolescent mental health issues”. n = 55 depressed teenagers (PHQ9 > 9) picked symptoms from a predefined list (including criteria for depression, purple nodes), specified these in their own words, and then rated causal relations.

Sorry I’m confused! I’m commenting on the wrong starter pack 😂

Please add me too!

As a presenter, getting questions / having a discussion is basically the reinforcer for doing talks!

Totally agree!

You mean because it’s yet only “ a mixture of truths, half-truths and falsehoods”? :)

Nästan där!!

And the network approach (which certainly has the potential to be used in therapy), was developed outside of psychology (kinda), right?

Very interesting! Applied behavior analysis as a treatment for children with ID & autism is a good example of a treatment developed from psychology / operant conditioning theories
