3/ So I read the abstracts as "the treatments are roughly comparable with tCBT having some advantages to other CBTs."

Here's what I got from reading the paper:

"The comparison between TBT and CBT for depression was d = −0.71 (95% CI [−1.80,0.37]" favoring "disorder-specific" CBT by quite a lot.

Objective: Transdiagnostic psychotherapies offer potential advantages to traditional, disorder‐specific approaches, includingcoverage of comorbidity, dissemination and implementation, and patient access. Although initial investigations testing theefficacy and capability to be disseminated exist, very few studies have tested these interventions within group settings.Methods: The present study involved a randomized clinical trial of Group Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (G‐TBT) andmatching group disorder‐specific therapies (G‐DST) in 243 veterans with major depressive disorder (MDD) and posttraumaticstress disorder (PTSD). Clinical symptom outcomes, patient satisfaction and participation, and access in terms of days betweenintake and the initiation of treatment were examined. G‐DSTs were Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression and CognitiveProcessing Therapy for PTSD. Groups were initiated as soon as at least 6 participants were assigned.Results: As expected, clinical outcomes for MDD and PTSD symptoms were consistently reduced in G‐TBT within principaldiagnostic groups, as well as associated symptoms and functional impairment. These outcomes were generally consistent withoutcomes in the G‐DSTs. While therapy satisfaction was similar across groups, significantly faster group assignment and lessattrition were observed in G‐TBT compared to G‐DSTs.Conclusions: Together, the present findings provide support for the efficacy of G‐TBT and with comparable effects to well‐established G‐DSTs for MDD and PTSD, but with potentially improved access to care via transdiagnostic assignment comparedto tradition disorder‐specific assignment for group therapies.

Signature moves: are we losing the ability to write by hand?

We are far more likely to use our hands to type or swipe than pick up a pen. But in the process we are in danger of losing cognitive skills, sensory experience – and a connection to history

Bullet lesson:
What does it matter what someone says to me?

It’s within MY power to say: I don’t want to talk about that.(boundary)

Words are just that. Words.

Mental health is a practice. My practice.

What’s the evidence? #cognitiveprocessing #evidence #boundaries
