New paper led by Nele Assmann, in which we used causal forests to test the heterogeneity of treatment effects of Schema Therapy vs. DBT for severe Borderline Personality Disorder.
Differential effectiveness of dialectical behavioral therapy and schema therapy in patients with borderline personality disorder: a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be treated successfully with specific psychological treatments, but there is no clear evidence of superiorit…

It is well-established that unguided digital interventions are effective in reducing symptoms of depression. But what about the effect on quality of life?

Happy to announce that I'll give a talk on how we can make rigorous causal inference more mainstream 📈

The Borderline Personality Disorder Checklist (BPD-CL) can be used for self-assessment in various languages because it is a reliable and valid measure of symptoms of BPD in its Dutch, English, German, Greek, Italian and Spanish version.

Quite possibly one of the best presentations on how to conduct research. It is by Peter WG Tennant from the University of Leeds, UK and focusses on modern causal inference methods.

Getting ready to teach internal/external/construct validity, for the first time using the framing by Estlinger, @davebrady72.bsky.social and @eschwitz.bsky.social (www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...).
Super happy because this is much clearer than what I told student before!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if a pharmacist looked over your shoulder while prescribing psychotropics and made sure you are doing everything right to prevent your patient from prolonged QTc intervals and its consequences like life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias?

It has often been suggested that psychotherapy works because patients expect it will work before they have even started treatment. But what if treatment expectations are an emergent phenomenon that develops in the course of psychotherapy and contributes to a successful outcome?

Behavioural Activation (BA) and Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) teach distinct therapeutic skills, and this study found that the acquisition of both skill sets—those taught in BA and those taught in MCT—is associated with changes in depressive symptoms.

How does a digital psychological intervention for social anxiety disorder work?
A recent study suggest that the most effective intervention components, psychoeducation and exposure, exert their effect through reductions in safety behaviours, avoidance and negative social cognitions.

Excited to be co-hosting a workshop with the legendary Patti Robinson at the ACBS WC 2025 in New Orleans. We will show you how to use predictive coding theory (PCT) to develop powerful ACT interventions using a process-based perspective.

Even though earlier results were very promising, the findings of a rigorously conducted RCT published in JAMA Psychiatry suggest that adding statins to antidepressants do not lead to better outcome in obese individuals with depression.

How you view yourself (a.k.a. self-functioning) might play a central role in your mental health. It is not only strongly associated with rumination about one’s weaknesses and reduced ability to pursue meaningful activities but also with symptoms of depression and anxiety.

CBASP is more effective than Supportive Psychotherapy (SP). But how much more effective depends on the study site: 12,5% of the variance in this differential treatment effect can be explained by the study site, a recent analysis found.

The digital therapeutic priovi reduces severity of Borderline symptoms and and might even reduce suicide attempts. That is the result of a study we have now published in The Lancet Psychiatry.

Clinically, this suggests that we should not only look at the clinical outcome but also at the negative effects when determining the success of a psychotherapy.
