Basic emotions reported by individuals with persistent physical symptoms receiving exposure therapy versus healthy lifestyle promotion in primary care | Scientific Reports
Abstract The importance of fear has been emphasized in research and treatment focusing on persistent physical symptoms (PPS). Recognizing a broader range of emotions may inform theory and personalized care. This study aimed to examine what basic emotions individuals with PPS experience related to their physical symptoms, the correlations between such emotions and overall somatic symptom burden and disability, and whether emotions change with treatment.
Effects of change in dysfunctional beliefs and self-esteem in avatar-based cognitive therapy for symptoms of social anxiety disorder: a randomized parallel trial | Scientific Reports
Abstract Social anxiety is both highly prevalent and debilitating, with dysfunctional beliefs playing a crucial role in its persistence. This randomized controlled trial examined whether a remote avatar-based intervention for restructuring dysfunctional beliefs was associated with changes in social anxiety symptoms in a sample with subclinical social anxiety disorder (SAD). Data from N = 235 participants who completed all study stages were included in the analyses.

Cardiac Interoceptive Accuracy: An Empirical Comparison of Three Ability Measures
1 Introduction Interoception, the processing of internal bodily stimuli, is considered important for homeostatic functions, cognitive abilities, emotional experiences, and therefore mental health conditions (Köteles 2021). The original, narrow definition of interoception covered only the sensations originating in the visceral organs (for a review, see: Ceunen et al. 2016). The definition commonly used today is broader and includes all kinds of bodily sensations (Craig 2002).
Effects of change in dysfunctional beliefs in avatar-based cognitive therapy for depressive symptoms: a randomized parallel trial - Scientific Reports
Abstract This study evaluated the effect of an avatar-based intervention on depressive symptoms and self-esteem. Participants (N = 151) with subclinical depressive symptoms were instructed to challenge an avatar over three sessions. While participants within the intervention group challenged their personal dysfunctional beliefs, participants in the control group challenged nonsense statements. Allocation to treatment groups was randomized.

The predictive value of cortisol in psychodynamic psychotherapy for social anxiety disorder: Extended results of the SOPHONET-Study - Translational Psychiatry
Abstract Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders (AD), yet a vast majority of patients do not respond to therapy, necessitating the identification of predictors to enhance outcomes. Several studies have explored the relationship between stress response and treatment outcome, as a potential treatment mechanism. However, the latter remains under-researched in patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD).

A multi-site German validation of the Interoceptive Accuracy Scale and its relation to psychopathological symptom burden - Communications Psychology
Abstract Altered interoception is thought to be implicated in the development of psychopathology. Recent proposals highlight the need to differentiate between dimensions of interoception to better understand its relation to mental health. Here, we validated a German version of the Interoceptive Accuracy Scale (IAS) and investigated the relationship between IAS scores and clinical outcomes, across seven samples from four research centers (N = 3462).
