Abstract. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp) builds on theoretical models that postulate reasoning biases and negative self-schemas to be involved in the formation and maintenance of delusions. However, it is unclear whether CBTp induces change in delusions by improving these proposed causal mechanisms. This study reports on a mediation analysis of a CBTp effectiveness trial in which delusions were a secondary outcome. Patients with psychosis were randomized to individualized CBTp (n = 36) or a waiting list condition (WL; n = 34). Reasoning biases (jumping to conclusions, theory of mind, attribution biases) and self-schemas (implicit and explicit self-esteem; self-schemas related to different domains) were assessed pre- and post-therapy/WL. The results reveal an intervention effect on two of four measures of delusions and on implicit self-esteem. Nevertheless, the intervention effect on delusions was not mediated by implicit self-esteem. Changes in explicit self-schemas and reasoning biases did also not mediate the intervention effects on delusions. More focused interventions may be required to produce change in reasoning and self-schemas that have the potential to carry over to delusions.

In the present study we applied a validation strategy for implicit measures like the IAT, which complements multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) analyses. As the measurement method (implicit vs. explicit) and underlying representation format (associative vs. propositional) are often confounded, the validation of implicit measures has to go beyond MTMM analysis and requires substantive theoretical models. In the present study (N = 133), we employed such a model ( Hofmann, Gschwendner, Nosek, & Schmitt, 2005 ) and investigated two moderator constructs in the realm of anxiety: specificity similarity and content similarity. In the first session, different general and specific anxiety measures were administered, among them an Implicit Association Test (IAT) general anxiety, an IAT-spider anxiety, and an IAT that assesses speech anxiety. In the second session, participants had to deliver a speech and behavioral indicators of speech anxiety were measured. Results showed that (a) implicit and explicit anxiety measures correlated significantly only on the same specification level and if they measured the same content, and (b) specific anxiety measures best predicted concrete anxious behavior. These results are discussed regarding the validation of implicit measures.

Harga diri rendah kronik adalah suatu evaluasi diri negatif dimana mereka merasa tidak berarti, malu, dan tidak mampu melihat hal positif yang dimilikinya. Dibutuhkan intervensi keperawatan untuk membantu meningkatkan harga diri klien. Tujuan penulisan ini menggambarkan hasil manajemen kasus spesialis pada klien harga diri rendah kronik dengan pendekatan teori transpersonal caring: Jean Watson. Klien yang diambil dalam penulisan ini sebanyak 31 klien harga diri rendah kronis, dengan 16 klien diberikan terapi kognitif dan 15 klien diberikan terapi perilaku kognitif. Hasil: terjadi penurunan tanda dan gejala harga diri rendah kronis dan peningkatan kemampuan klien dengan harga diri rendah kronis. Kesimpulan: pemberian terapi kognitif dan terapi perilaku kognitif dapat membantu meningkatkan harga diri klien.   Kata kunci: harga diri rendah kronis, terapi kognitif, terapi perilaku kognitif CASE MANAGEMENT IN LOW CHRONIC MANDIRI PRICE CLIENTS WITH CARE THEORY APPROACH   ABSTRACT Chronic low self-esteem is a negative self-evaluation in which they feel meaningless, shame, and unable to evaluate the positive side of them self. Nursing interventions are required for enhancing client`s self-esteem. The purpose of this paperis to describe the results of a specialist case management in client with chronic low self-esteem using the approach of transpersonal caring theory of Jean Watson. Clients were takenfor thispaper were 31 clients with chronic low self-esteem, with 16 clients were intervered by cognitive therapy and 15 clients were given cognitive behavioral therapy. Results:  The signs and symptoms of chronic low self-esteem were decrease and the client’sability was increase with chronic low self-esteem. Conclusion: The intervention of cognitive therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy can help increasing the level of self-esteem on clients.   Key words: chronic low self esteem, cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy

In this study we examined the differences in implicit collective self- esteem between Gelao and Han teenagers, using the Implicit Association Test. We also explored the relationship between participants' implicit and explicit collective self-esteem with the Implicit Association Test and the Explicit Collective Self-Esteem Scale. Participants were 169 teenagers residing in Gelao regions in China. The results showed that both Gelao and Han participants had an implicit collective self-esteem effect (i.e., tended to associate their own ethnic group with positive words and the other ethnic group with negative words), and this effect was significantly higher among Gelao than among Han participants. Further, scores on the importance-to-identity subscale of the Explicit Collective Self-Esteem scale were significantly higher in the Gelao versus the Han group. The correlation coefficients between implicit and explicit collective self-esteem for both groups were very low. The significance of the study findings is discussed.

BackgroundThe efficacy of cognitive–behavioural therapy for schizophrenia is established, but there is less evidence for a group format.AimsTo evaluate the effectiveness of group cognitive – behavioural therapy for schizophrenia.MethodIn all, 113 people with persistent positive symptoms of schizophrenia were assigned to receive group cognitive – behavioural therapy or treatment as usual. The primary outcome was positive symptom improvement on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scales. Secondary outcome measures included symptoms, functioning, relapses, hopelessness and self-esteem.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the cognitive-behavioural therapy and treatment as usual on measures of symptoms or functioning or relapse, but group cognitive – behavioural therapy treatment resulted in reductions in feelings of hopelessness and in low self-esteem.ConclusionsAlthough group cognitive – behavioural therapy may not be the optimum treatment method for reducing hallucinations and delusions, it may have important benefits, including feeling less negative about oneself and less hopeless for the future.

AbstractSince Freud, clinicians have understood that disturbing memories contribute to psychopathology and that new emotional experiences contribute to therapeutic change. Yet, controversy remains about what is truly essential to bring about psychotherapeutic change. Mounting evidence from empirical studies suggests that emotional arousal is a key ingredient in therapeutic change in many modalities. In addition, memory seems to play an important role but there is a lack of consensus on the role of understanding what happened in the past in bringing about therapeutic change. The core idea of this paper is that therapeutic change in a variety of modalities, including behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, results from the updating of prior emotional memories through a process of reconsolidation that incorporates new emotional experiences. We present an integrated memory model with three interactive components – autobiographical (event) memories, semantic structures, and emotional responses – supported by emerging evidence from cognitive neuroscience on implicit and explicit emotion, implicit and explicit memory, emotion-memory interactions, memory reconsolidation, and the relationship between autobiographical and semantic memory. We propose that the essential ingredients of therapeutic change include: (1) reactivating old memories; (2) engaging in new emotional experiences that are incorporated into these reactivated memories via the process of reconsolidation; and (3) reinforcing the integrated memory structure by practicing a new way of behaving and experiencing the world in a variety of contexts. The implications of this new, neurobiologically grounded synthesis for research, clinical practice, and teaching are discussed.
