AbstractLow self-esteem is widely acknowledged to be associated with the phenomenology of a number of mental health diagnoses, including those which are treated under the umbrella of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services. To evaluate the effectiveness of group Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) based on the work of Fennell in treating low self-esteem 50 participants attended a 10-week group programme. Pre- and post-group measures of depression, anxiety and self-esteem were compared using Mann–Whitney U tests. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant and clinically meaningful change across all pre- and post-group measures. Mean post-group measures indicated levels of depression and anxiety which were below caseness and a healthy level of self-esteem. Results indicated that gains were well maintained at 3-month follow-up. The results from this study highlight the effectiveness of group CBT for low self-esteem and thus contribute to the limited evidence base in this area. Results are discussed with consideration of the existing evidence base, implications for clinical practice, and future research.

Objective: To determine whether a six-session group cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) programme results in a greater reduction in depression symptoms than a brief intervention alone in cardiac patients with clinically significant symptoms of depression. Method: Fifty-seven community dwelling cardiac patients scoring >13 on the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) received a single-session brief intervention. They were then block randomised to either six sessions of group CBT ( n = 25) or no further intervention (BI; n = 32). All were re-assessed at 2, 6 and 12 months. Differences between treatment groups in the primary (BDI-II) and secondary [rates of depression; anxiety symptoms, as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (HADS-A)] outcomes were examined using generalised linear mixed models with a random intercept term for the individual. Results: Significant improvements were seen for the total group from baseline to 12 months on BDI-II and HADS-A scores. However, no differences were found between the CBT and BI conditions on change in BDI-II score, rates of major depressive episode or HADS-A score. Post hoc analysis on the total group found 12-month symptom non-remission was associated with higher baseline BDI-II score ( p = 0.03), more visits to health professionals 12 months prior to baseline ( p = 0.05) and a greater likelihood of either drinking alcohol over recommended levels or smoking at baseline ( p = 0.01). Conclusions: Group CBT of up to six sessions did not result in greater reductions in depression or anxiety symptoms compared with a single-session brief intervention. Further work should focus on the efficacy and role of brief interventions, and addressing smoking and alcohol misuse in cardiac patients with depression.

Abstract BackgroundThere is little research reporting the outcome of internet delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (iCBT) for the depressed phase of bipolar disorder as part of routine care. MethodsDemographic information, baseline scores and treatment outcomes were examined for patients of MindSpot Clinic, a national iCBT service who reported taking Lithium and their clinic records confirming the diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Outcomes were completion rates, patient satisfaction and changes in measures of psychological distress, depression and anxiety measured by the Kessler-10 item (K-10), Patient Health Questionnaire 9 Item (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale 7 Item (GAD-7), compared to clinic benchmarks. ResultsOut of 21,745 people completed a MindSpot assessment and enrolled in a MindSpot treatment course in a 7 year period, 83 reported taking Lithium and had a confirmed a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Reductions in symptoms were large on all measures (effect sizes > 1.0 on all measures, percentage change between 32.4% and 40%), and lesson completion and satisfaction with the course were also high. ConclusionsMindSpot treatments were effective in treating anxiety and depression in people diagnosed with bipolar, and suggest that the routine provision of iCBT can help overcome the under-use of evidence based psychological treatments of people with bipolar depression.
