Summary: A randomized controlled trial tested the efficacy of a group cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention for social anxiety in youth who experienced the first episode of psychosis. The results showed that both interventions led to a reduction in social anxiety, but the CBT-SA intervention had a positive effect on negative symptoms, functioning, and recovery.

Summary: This study compared the clinical effectiveness of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) combined with traditional face-to-face therapy (FtF-CBT) in a blended format (B-CBT) for adult major depressive disorder. The results showed no significant difference in treatment efficacy between B-CBT and FtF-CBT at 6 months' follow-up. These findings suggest that B-CBT may be capable of producing treatment effects similar to FtF-CBT.

Summary: The study found that high-intensity physical exercise did not universally enhance the outcome of CBT, but higher levels of physical fitness improvement seem to aid in symptom change during CBT. Therefore, future research and clinical practice might consider more individually tailored exercise programs.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the efficacy of guided self-help cognitive behavioral therapy-enhanced (CBT-E) compared to a delayed-treatment control condition. The results showed a significant reduction in binge eating episodes and a high rate of full recovery in the guided self-help CBT-E group. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of guided self-help CBT-E in treating binge eating disorder, consistent with international guidelines.

Summary: Due to a lack of mental health services and significant stigma toward mental illness, many Chinese individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) do not receive treatment. This study evaluated the efficacy of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) in treating depressive symptoms in MDD patients. The results showed that ICBT led to significant improvements in depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and psychological distress, as well as increased general self-efficacy. The ICBT program was well-accepted and satisfying for the participants.

Summary: The study found significant differences in the quality of meaningful social interactions and avoidance of such interactions between patients with major depressive disorder or social phobia and the control group. Despite similar proportions of meaningful social interactions across all groups, patients with MDD and SP perceived the quality of these interactions to be lower. Identifying factors influencing reinforcement of patients with MDD and SP in engaging in meaningful social interactions may be crucial in understanding these disorders better.

Summary: The German version of the modified Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (BDD-YBOCS) is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the symptom severity in individuals with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The study found good internal consistency and excellent interrater-reliability of the BDD-YBOCS. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a two-factor structure representing obsessions versus compulsions. Normative data indicated a typical range of BDD-YBOCS scores between 21 and 34 in outpatient samples with varying levels of BDD severity.

Summary: Group therapy has the potential to reach more people seeking treatment simultaneously with similar success rates as individual therapy. Adding group therapy before individual therapy can shorten the duration of treatment and be as effective as pure individual therapy. Patients who received group therapy prior to individual therapy had shorter waiting times for treatment and required fewer individual sessions, and their depression improved at a faster rate.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of cognitive therapy for body dysmorphic disorder (CT-BDD), which includes modules targeting maladaptive cognitive processing and schema therapy related to interpersonal problems. The results showed that CT-BDD was more effective than a wait-list group at Week 12, and the improvements were maintained at posttreatment and 3- and 6-month follow-up. Changes in shame and insight mediated changes in BDD symptom severity. The preliminary results suggest the efficacy of CT-BDD. Addressing interpersonal problems in addition to cognitive dysfunctions may enhance the benefit of CBT for BDD patients.
