“…The study used the Dutch translation validated by Van der Does (2002b). The BDI-II has been found to be a valid indicator of depression and shows good diagnostic discrimination (Dozois, Dobson & Ahnberg, 1998). Participants were presented with items related to symptoms of depression and asked to choose for each item the statement that better described how they have been feeling during the past 2 weeks (including the current day).…”

The aim of the study was to throw more light on the relationship between rumination and cognitive-control processes. Seventy-eight adults were assessed with respect to rumination tendencies by means of the LEIDS-r before performing a Stroop task, an event-file task assessing the automatic retrieval of irrelevant information, an attentional set-shifting task, and the Attentional Network Task, which provided scores for alerting, orienting, and executive control functioning. The size of the Stroop effect and irrelevant retrieval in the event-five task were positively correlated with the tendency to ruminate, while all other scores did not correlate with any rumination scale. Controlling for depressive tendencies eliminated the Stroop-related finding (an observation that may account for previous failures to replicate), but not the event-file finding. Taken altogether, our results suggest that rumination does not affect attention, executive control, or response selection in general, but rather selectively impairs the control of stimulus-induced retrieval of irrelevant information.

Frequent assessment during therapy can improve treatments and provide accountability. However, clinicians often do not monitor progress because of the time it takes to administer and score assessments. In response, the Social Anxiety Session Change Index (SASCI) was developed. The SASCI is a short, easily administered rating of subjective improvement that asks clients with social anxiety disorder how much they have changed since the beginning of therapy. Change on the SASCI was related to change in fear of negative evaluation, a core aspect of social anxiety, and to clinician-rated improvement, but not to ratings of anxiety sensitivity or depression. Because it is brief and easily interpretable, the SASCI can be used in a variety of clinical settings to monitor change across therapy. The SASCI is presented along with examples of how the information gathered from frequent administration can inform clinical practice. Barlow, Hayes, and Nelson (1984) highlight three key reasons why clinicians should measure their clients' change across therapy: to improve treatment, to enhance clinical science, and to provide accountability. In short, these authors posit that assessing change during treatment allows modifications in the treatment procedure to enhance results; gives scientist-practitioners a better understanding of effective treatment techniques; and provides evidence of treatment effectiveness to insurance companies and other third-party payers. Research has shown that tracking clients' progress can improve outcome (see Lambert et al., 2003). A brief weekly progress update would allow for an efficient and sensitive method to NIH Public Access Author ManuscriptCogn Behav Pract. Author manuscript; available in PMC 2014 July 27. NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript assess client improvement or relapse from week to week. Changes from the previous week could be used as a tool in session to either investigate what worked well over the week, or to make adjustments if needed. Further, researchers could utilize a session-by-session measure as a way to understand the elements and processes of treatment that lead to change. In addition, therapists have reported that they are interested in using such data to improve their services (e.g., Bickman et al., 2000). However, one of the primary difficulties in utilizing regular assessments in clinical settings is the time required to administer, score, and interpret frequent assessments. In our own work with social anxiety disorder, we found the need for an efficient instrument for ongoing assessment of change, but nothing was available. In response, we developed a brief measure of subjective change that can be administered, interpreted, and utilized in busy clinical practices and research settings.Traditionally, treatment research has focused on changes in symptoms from pretreatment to posttreatment (Kazdin, 2003). Whereas this approach provides a global account of the efficacy of the treatment, it neglects important intermediate steps ...

“…The cut-off score for a scale to distinguish psychopathology can vary in different situations and populations (Beekman et al, 1997; Brennan, Worrall-Davies, McMillan, Gilbody, & House, 2010; Cheng & Chan, 2005; Dozois, Dobson, & Ahnberg, 1998; Geisser, Roth, & Robinson, 1997; Hinz & Brähler, 2011; Hiroe et al, 2005; Kugaya, Akechi, Okuyama, Okamura, & Uchitomi, 1998; Lasa, Ayuso-Mateos, Vázquez-Barquero, Díez-Manrique, & Dowrick, 2000; Matsudaira et al, 2009; Wada et al, 2007). Therefore, we could not reliably derive the same diagnosis with different scales in different study populations.…”

Background: Understanding the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a precondition for efficient risk assessment and prevention planning. Studies to date have been site and sample specific. Towards developing generalizable models of PTSD development and prediction, the International Consortium to Predict PTSD (ICPP) compiled data from 13 longitudinal, acute-care based PTSD studies performed in six different countries.Objective: The objectives of this study were to describe the ICPP’s approach to data pooling and harmonization, and present cross-study descriptive results informing the longitudinal course of PTSD after acute trauma.Methods: Item-level data from 13 longitudinal studies of adult civilian trauma survivors were collected. Constructs (e.g. PTSD, depression), measures (questions or scales), and time variables (days from trauma) were identified and harmonized, and those with inconsistent coding (e.g. education, lifetime trauma exposure) were recoded. Administered in 11 studies, the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) emerged as the main measure of PTSD diagnosis and severity.Results: The pooled data set included 6254 subjects (39.9% female). Studies’ average retention rate was 87.0% (range 49.1–93.5%). Participants’ baseline assessments took place within 2 months of trauma exposure. Follow-up durations ranged from 188 to 1110 days. Reflecting studies’ inclusion criteria, the prevalence of baseline PTSD differed significantly between studies (range 3.1–61.6%), and similar differences were observed in subsequent assessments (4.3–38.2% and 3.8–27.0% for second and third assessments, respectively).Conclusion: Pooling data from independently collected studies requires careful curation of individual data sets for extracting and optimizing informative commonalities. However, it is an important step towards developing robust and generalizable prediction models for PTSD and can exceed findings of single studies. The large differences in prevalence of PTSD longitudinally cautions against using any individual study to infer trauma outcome. The multiplicity of instruments used in individual studies emphasizes the need for common data elements in future studies.
