Examination of the Skills of Cognitive Therapy for Depression Examination of the Skills of Cognitive Therapy for Depression: Evaluating Specificity and Prediction of Differential Response in Cognitive and Behavioral Treatments DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shannon Nicole Hollars, M.A. Graduate Program in Psychology The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Daniel R. Strunk, Advisor Professor Jennifer S. Cheavens Professor Michael C. Edwards Copyrighted by Shannon Nicole Hollars, M.A. 2015 Abstract Researchers seeking to improve outcomes for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) have investigated pre-treatment patient characteristics with the goal of identifying treatments or treatment components that might be more effective for some patients than others. Other studies have focused on improving the effectiveness of existing interventions by evaluating the relation of treatment components to outcomes both directly and indirectly via their association with putative therapeutic mechanisms. In the context of cognitive behavioral therapy (also called cognitive therapy (CT)), cognitive and behavioral change procedures and associated cognitive and behavioral changes have been the subjects of a growing body of research (Lorenzo, German, & DeRubeis, 2014). In the current study, I examined whether cognitive and behavioral change procedures were associated with specific changes in patients’ cognitive and behavioral skills. Previous studies have examined the extent that particular components within CT are more effective than others in modifying cognitive and behavioral vulnerabilities but have not found consistent evidence to support the specificity of these changes to CT or components in CT (Jacobson, Dobson, Truax, Addis, & Koerner, 1996). To our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate skill specificity in the context of the cognitive and behavioral components from CT. In addition, I evaluated pre-treatment ii skills to predict for whom the cognitive and behavioral treatment procedures would be more effective in reducing symptoms and increasing skillfulness. In the current study, a sample of depressed outpatients (n = 42) participated in eight weeks of treatment in which they were randomly assigned to receive either a cognitive only treatment or a behavioral only treatment. Clinicians conducted semi- structured interviews to evaluate patients’ cognitive and behavioral skills at the intake and week eight assessments (Competencies of Cognitive Therapy Scale-Interview; CCTS-I), and self-reported depressive symptom severity was measured at each session using the Beck Depression Inventory-2nd Edition (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996). Results of the analyses evaluating the specificity of cognitive and behavioral skill acquisition to these two treatment conditions provided limited support for my prediction. While the estimates suggested that patients in the cognitive treatment improved in cognitive skill more so than patients in the behavioral treatment, this effect was not statistically significant. Treatment was also not significantly predictive of behavioral skill acquisition. In an exploratory set of analyses, I found that treatment was a significant predictor of a measure of skill Specificity, and this effect suggested that patients assigned to the cognitive treatment experienced greater changes in their cognitive skills relative to their behavioral skills than the patients in the behavioral treatment. In examining pre- treatment skills, I found that patients who were more skillful (cognitive or behavioral) at pre-treatment were more likely to experience faster rates of symptom reduction in the behavioral than the cognitive treatment. This effect was significant, regardless of whether cognitive or behavioral skills were evaluated. Finally, I found that more initially iii behaviorally skilled patients experienced greater improvements in this skill when in the behavioral rather than the cognitive treatment. This effect was not significant when evaluating cognitive skills. Treatment group was not associated with differences in patients’ acquisition of cognitive skills. iv Acknowledgments I wish to express my gratitude for the help and support I received in completing this research. I am grateful for the significant contributions and guidance from my advisor, Dan Strunk, and the valuable feedback and suggestions from my committee members, Jennifer Cheavens and Michael Edwards. I am extremely thankful for their time and support throughout this process. I also wish to thank my colleagues in the Depression Research Lab, particularly Andrew Cooper, without whom this project would not have been possible. My project was part of a larger research study which he designed and managed from start to finish. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to be included in this project and for the unyielding support and encouragement I received throughout this process. Finally, I want to express my love and gratitude for my family and friends, whose support throughout the years has been invaluable to me. I am so thankful for my parents, who have always believed in me and have been an unfailing source of encouragement. You helped me to develop the self-confidence to persist in the face of challenges. Finally, I wish to thank my significant other, Chris, for his support and patience throughout this process. You helped me stay focused and motivated. I could not ask for a more understanding partner. v Vita April 2005 ......................................................Charlotte Catholic High School 2009................................................................B.A. Psychology & English (Summa cum Laude), Emory University 2010 - 2011 ....................................................Graduate Research Associate, Department of Psychology, The Ohio State University 2011 - 2014 ....................................................Graduate Teaching Associate, Department of Psychology, The Ohio State University 2012................................................................M.A., Psychology, The Ohio State University 2012................................................................Doctoral Candidate, Department of Psychology, The Ohio State University 2014 - 2015 ....................................................Graduate Research Associate, Nationwide Center for Advanced Customer Insights, The Ohio State University vi Publications Strunk, D.R., Adler, A.D., & Hollars, S.N.

However, due to the lack of research and expert input that has accompanied the development of most apps, concerns have been raised by clinicians, researchers, and government authorities about their efficacy. Objective: This review aimed to estimate the proportion of mental health apps offering comprehensive therapeutic treatments for anxiety and/or depression available in the app stores that have been developed using evidence-based frameworks. It also aimed to estimate the proportions of specific frameworks being used in an effort to understand which frameworks are having the most influence on app developers in this area. Methods: A systematic review of the Apple App Store and Google Play store was performed to identify apps offering comprehensive therapeutic interventions that targeted anxiety and/or depression. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) checklist was adapted to guide this approach. Results: Of the 293 apps shortlisted as offering a therapeutic treatment for anxiety and/or depression, 162 (55.3%) mentioned an evidence-based framework in their app store descriptions.

Abstract The prevalence of dementia and age-related cognitive impairment is rising due to an aging population worldwide. There is currently no effective pharmacological treatment, but cognitive activity programs could contribute to prevention and risk reduction. However, the results of intervention studies are inconclusive, which may be related to methodological issues. For example, the inconsistent use of umbrella categories to describe cognitive intervention strategies, such as cognitive training or cognitive rehabilitation, has led to confusion regarding their respective contents and efficacies.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Neuroscience: Towards Closer Integration
    Psychological Topics 19 (2010), 2, 235-254 Original scientific paper - UDC – 615.851:612.8 612.8:615.851 616-89-0008.441 Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Neuroscience: Towards Closer Integration Nataša Jokić-Begić Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, Croatia Abstract The aim of this review article is to provide an integrative perspective by combining basic assumptions of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with neuroscience research results. In recent years, interdisciplinary research in the field of neuroscience has expanded our knowledge about neurobiological correlates of mental processes and changes occurring in the brain due to therapeutic interventions. The studies are largely based on non-invasive brain imaging techniques, such as functional neuroimaging technologies of positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The neuroscientific investigations of basic CBT hypotheses have shown that (i) functional and non-functional behavior and experiences may be learned through lifelong learning, due to brain neuroplasticity that continues across the entire lifespan; (ii) cognitive activity contributes to dysfunctional behavior and emotional experience through focusing, selective perception, memory and recall, and characteristic cognitive distortion; on a neurobiological level, there is a relationship between top-down and bottom-up regulation of unpleasant emotional states; and (iii) cognitive activity may be changed, as shown by therapeutic success achieved by metacognitive and mindfulness techniques, which also have their neurobiological correlates in the changes occurring in the cortical and subcortical structures and endocrine and immune systems. The empirical research also shows that neurobiological changes occur after CBT in patients with arachnophobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, major depressive disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome.
