A wonderful memory from @sprofficial.bsky.social with the Mustache Gang, @andrewathan.bsky.social and James Boswell, at #SPRKrakow2025. Another amazing conference!
🌏 We kicked off the 56th International Annual Meeting of the Society for Psychotherapy Research with several workshops and the Welcome Ceremony. #SPRKrakow2025
Nice summary of a great meeting! 🧵👇
In case you are interested, several people have posted information, papers, summaries etc. under the conference hashtag #SPRKrakow2025

Picture showing a bike lane or pedestrian walkway with the following printed on it 7-8.06. 2003 referendum akcesyjne w polsce - 77.45% za wstapieniem Polski do UE which according to the translation programme means Accession referendum in Poland - 77.45 in favour of Poland joining the EU [if not, this could be pretty awkward :D :D ]
I know, international collaboration is not really "in" at the moment (and potentially declining).
So, here a #ShoutOut to #Eduroam! 💓🙇
It made #SPRKrakow2025 just so much easier!

Well, until I saw this picture of you, @andrewathan.bsky.social , I thought it was only my strange mind. But now I am convinced, that I found a portrait of you when I was hunting for #Graffiti in #Krakow
Admittedly, you usually don't look as grumpy 😅
#SPRKrakow2025
Equally cheerful but obviously less hungover, Sir @andrewathan.bsky.social ! 🫡
See you also next year in Osaka, @sprofficial.bsky.social ! 🇯🇵

Found a cheerful but slightly hungover @herzog.bsky.social on the plane home from #SPRKrakow2025 See you next year, @sprofficial.bsky.social
What an amazing time at #SPRKrakow2025 💫 I feel so honored to have received the Collaborative Grant to work with @nilisolomonov.bsky.social on investigating late-life suicidality using EMA. Grateful for the inspiring talks, the deeply supportive community, and so many meaningful conversations
Me and @jrboehnke.bsky.social doing 99% of #SPRKrakow2025 Bluesky coverage
I missed @herzog.bsky.social talk but luckily it was recorded - schema therapy and DBT were equally good at reducing costs from illness from severe borderline PD. #SPRKrakow2025
Jamie Delgadillo used causal discovery algorithms to select predictors of suicide attempts, showing how these differ between countries.
#SPRKrakow2025
Juan Martín Gómez Penedo used GLMM trees in an attempt to predict patients going off-track in @wlutzpsyres.bsky.social TTN data. #SPRKrakow2025
Very interesting work by @nilisolomonov.bsky.social on how to make behavioral activation for late-life depression more effective. Interpersonal activities seem to be what matters! #SPRKrakow2025
A lot of good things at #SPRKrakow2025 this morning, but here is the excellent doctoral student Janne Låver presenting her recently published paper on how therapists’ outcome expectations are formed!

Looking even more forward to discussing the contributions in this panel as earlier this week this excellent paper by Jana Uher was published which refers to the work of multiple presenters:

What I really love about the coffee at the law faculty is that I have ordered three times one of their 'bananas' and have each time been given their fantastic 'banana bread'.
They're like, "No mate, you rather want one of these, believe you me!"

Glad to have had the opportunity to present virtually at #SPRKrakow2025
Two kind of middle-aged men, one a head taller than the other, standing casually clothed leisurely next to each other. Both wear #SPRKrakaum2025 conference badges. And they sport the same black T-Shirt with a print (conference T-Shirt from the SPR conference 2014 in Copenhagen).
That's what #SPRKrakow2025 is also good for:
Catching up with your #TShirtBuddy!
Great to see you @neuomancer.bsky.social !
Interesting question from the audience: if we are training AI models on the current state of psychotherapy, which we know is not as effective as we want it to be, is this a wise move? #SPRKrakow2025
Another student of mine, @markus-tewes.bsky.social, talking about his project in which he tries to estimate the risk of alliance ruptures in future sessions using machine learning models. #SPRKrakow2025
And here he is presenting one of his projects: for the first time in the history of the KODAP dataset, he estimated a causal effect of CBT provided by German university outpatient clinics. #SPRKrakow2025
Many discussions about AI in psychotherapy remind me of this basic conundrum #SPRKrakow2025
Who gets CBT and who gets psychodynamic therapy in routine care? Rikard Fjällström studied the assignment process. #SPRKrakow2025
Discussed in the preconference workshop:
SPIRIT & CONSORT guidelines (protocol & study reporting)

TIDieR (intervention description)

And for example for #psychometrics #SysReview

#SPRKrakow2025
Since my workshop many conversations about #ReportingGuidelines, so some links to key #RCT -related guidelines 👇
Earlier this year we also published a guideline to improve the reporting of best-estimate diagnostic assessments, see thread below

That was intense… #SPRKrakow2025
