Translating clinical
psychology research to practice could improve mental health care but it is challenging. Researchers often frame the problem in terms of uptake failure by clinicians. But are they doing clinically useful research? In press, American psychologist

🌟 NEW PREPRINT: Adolescent self-diagnosis of mental disorders: An interview study of clinicians’ perspectives (N=16)

Concerns over self-diagnosis are increasing, but research is limited. What do clinicians think about this phenomenon, and do they think it impacts therapy?

One of my best friends is competing in a Strongman in a few weeks (badass, I know!!!)

They chose the pride flag as their representative flag. No problem according to the organizers.

The negative comments started coming in immediately.

Help me rally some positivity for them :) shorturl.at/yzE8u

Patients are often informed that side effects of antidepressants are getting better over time. Is this evidence based?
A new STAR*D analysis shows that this is true for study completers but not for a substantial fraction who then drop out.

So we took inspiration from @eikofried.bsky.social beautiful work on depression scales and aimed at doing something (loosely) similar. However, most time scales are based on affirmations to which participants have to agree/disagree. How do we know how similar these are?

My experience is that often a reviewer may be highly qualified to comment on some aspects, eg as content/topic expert, but has little competence on other aspects, eg methodology. Would be great if editors could assign reviewers to different roles related to the manuscript.

I think over the next few years the evidence will continue to accumulate that the majority of mental disorders are best treated with short, highly intensive therapies. This will challenge many assumptions on how therapy works.
