“…These results are consistent with previous research. Self-directedness has been found to have a favorable effect on the CBT treatment outcome in social phobia [67] and during follow-up in eating disorders [68]. It should be noted that this relationship has not been confirmed for group therapy.…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate posttreatment changes of individuals with a diagnosis of gambling disorder (GD) treated with group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to assess the potential moderator effect of sex on CBT outcome, and to explore the best predictors of posttreatment changes, relapse, and dropout rates. Methods: A cohort design was applied with a prospective follow-up. The sample comprised 440 patients and the CBT intervention consisted of 16 weekly outpatient group sessions and a 3-month follow-up period. Results: Patients showed significant improvements in both the level of psychopathology and the severity of the gambling behavior. High self-transcendence and the involvement of the spouse or partner in the therapy predicted a higher risk of relapse. Younger age and low education predicted a higher risk of dropout. Conclusion: Many patients with GD can be treated with strategies to improve self-control and emotional regulation, but other techniques should be incorporated to address the individual characteristics of each patient. This is particularly important in group therapy, in which the same treatment is applied to several patients simultaneously. The involvement of a family member needs to be carefully considered since it may have a negative effect on the response to treatment if not adequately managed.

“…Finally, the Brunnsviken Brief Quality of life scale (BBQ) (Lindner et al, 2016) was used to measure subjective quality of life. Established Swedish versions of all scales were used (Hedman et al, 2010;Johansson et al, 2013;Mörtberg & Andersson, 2013).…”

Virtual Reality (VR) can be used as a therapeutic tool to conduct efficacious in-session exposure therapy by presenting virtual equivalents of phobic stimuli, yet past hardware restrictions hindered implementation in routine care and effectiveness studies. The current study examines the effectiveness of a VR-assisted treatment protocol for public speaking anxiety with demonstrated efficacy, this time in routine care, using affordable VR hardware. Participants (n = 23) were recruited via a private clinic and treated by one of four psychologists with only minimal VR-training. Using a single-subject design and dual-slope modeling (adjusting the treatment-onset slope for treatment effects), we found a significant, large decrease in self-rated public speaking anxiety following the primary three-hour session, similar in magnitude to the previous efficacy trial. Multilevel modeling of in-session process measures suggests that the protocol works as intended, by decreasing catastrophic belief expectancy and distress, and increasing perceived performance quality. Adherence to the online transition program that followed-encouraging in-vivo exposure-was relatively poor, yet symptoms decrease continued. No change was observed over the three-month follow-up period. We conclude that VR exposure therapy can be effective under routine care conditions and is an attractive approach for future, large-scale implementation and effectiveness trials.

“…For example, higher pre-treatment rumination is associated with poorer treatment response for major depressive disorder and dysthymia (Ciesla & Roberts, 2002;Schmaling, Dimidjian, Katon, & Sullivan, 2002). Similarly, worry has been shown to predict poorer treatment response at post-treatment and 1-year follow up in individual and group cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for social anxiety disorder (M€ ortberg & Andersson, 2014). Others have found that rumination is associated with delayed symptom remission in mild-moderately depressed participants (Jones, Siegle, & Thase, 2008) and greater likelihood of relapse following mindfulness based cognitive behavior therapy (Michalak, H€ olz, & Teismann, 2011).…”

Predictors of response to individual and group cognitive behaviour therapy of social phobia

Abstract: Anticipatory worry appears to be a particularly important trait for explaining variance in the outcome of social phobia. The finding is consistent with the assumed stability of such personality traits over time. Further studies are warranted to replicate the finding.
