Anxiety is a complex mental health problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Although disorder-specific cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) protocols have been developed, more recently interest has shifted to more transdiagnostic processes that target common processes across anxiety subtypes. This address presents one such transdiagnostic perspective that targets 12 core processes that are common, to varying degrees, across the various symptom presentations of anxiety. Processes such as anticipatory anxiety, anxiety sensitivity, avoidance, catastrophizing, helplessness, uncertainty tolerance, reassurance seeking, postevent processing, and the like are explained. Assessment, case conceptualization, and process-focused cognitive-behavioral interventions are presented that offer a more systematic, targeted, and individualized approach to treatment of anxiety.

We frequently hear invalidating comments about our difficult emotions, such as “You shouldn’t feel jealous, resentful, envious, bored, or regretful”. But these are universal emotions that we all might feel and disowning this part of our self is unrealistic and self-defeating. The emotional schema model views all emotions as the result of the evolutionary process and that our cultural and socialization experiences make it difficult to integrate these experiences into our lives. Our beliefs about emotions affect our tolerance of the inevitable difficulties of a completely human existence. The relentless pursuit of happiness, existential and emotional perfectionism and beliefs in a “higher self” lead to attempts to suppress these feelings which leads to more anxiety and beliefs that we are not “normal”. Complex emotions such as jealousy, envy, and regret function as systemic “modes” which are integrated strategies for coping. For example, the regret mode imagines a “better world” (alternative), compares outcomes to an ideal that does not exist, ignores the limits of our knowledge in making decisions, rejects tradeoffs, and activates rumination and self-criticism to motivate us to try to pursue maximum benefits. In its extreme form, regret becomes guilt, but the absence of guilt leads to distrust and sociopathy. How do we help clients find the right balance? What is the right amount of regret, for the right reasons, expressed in the right way, to produce the best outcome within our human limits? How do existential and emotional perfectionism and biases in predicting emotions lead to our difficulty in using painful emotions to benefit us?

Compassion focused therapy (CFT) is an integrative, evolution informed biopsychosocial and brain state approach to mental health difficulties. This talk will outline the background key themes and science of CFT in terms of the four functions of mind: motives emotions, cognitions, and behaviours. It will highlight the way the evolution of caring behaviour was the basis for compassion. Stimulating compassionate brain states seek to stimulate those psychophysiological systems associated with caring such as the vagus nerve, oxytocin and neurocircuits. These brain states have important impacts on helping people work with threat processing and facilitate prosocial relating to self and others.

More than 1,000 randomised controlled trials have examined the effects of psychotherapies for depression and compared psychotherapies with control conditions, with each other, with pharmacotherapy and with combined treatments. These trials have also examined the effects of therapies in specific target groups, such as women with perinatal depression, children and adolescents, older adults, people with general medical disorders and many others. Furthermore, the effects have not just been examined on depressive symptoms, but also on other outcomes, such as quality of life, functional limitations and social support. In this presentation I will present the results of a large meta-analytic project in which new trials are continuously added. I will show that the most important therapies are effective, that most therapies have comparable effects, that these effects remain significant up to one year follow up and that the therapies are effective in most specific groups. But meta-analyses should also be considered with caution, because they overestimate the effects of therapies. The effects of therapies are comparable to those of pharmacotherapy, but at the longer term psychotherapies are more effective. Combined therapy is more effective than either one alone, at the short and longer term.

Much of what we once believed about depression has turned out not to be true. Although it is miserable to experience, depression is neither a disease nor a disorder, but is instead an adaptation that evolved in our ancestral past to serve a purpose. The evolutionary theory that is most consistent with the existing evidence is that depression evolved to facilitate the kind of careful thinking needed to resolve complex interpersonal problems. Moreover, recent birth cohort studies indicate that depression is far more prevalent than previously recognized (it is “species typical”) and that only a small percentage of the persons who ever get depressed ever go on to become recurrent. It is a basic principle of evolutionary medicine that any treatment that facilitates the functions that an adaptation evolved to serve is to be preferred over one that only anesthetizes the symptoms. As efficacious as antidepressant medications can be, they are purely palliative at best and may even have an iatrogenic effect that suppresses symptoms at the expense of prolonging the underlying episode. The cognitive and behavioral interventions not only have enduring effects but appear to facilitate the resolution of complex interpersonal problems and are therefore likely to be preferred over the purely palliative (and possibly iatrogenic) medications.

The aim is the presentation of the role of traumatic experiencies in mental and physical health and how to intervene with EMDR, a first-line trauma treatment in the international practice guidelines of several organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association (2004), the World Health Organization (2013, 2023) and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (2018). The clinical effectiveness of EMDR for treatment of trauma in adults has been documented in several randomized controlled studies (EMDR International Association, 2014); furthermore, and an incremental effect of EMDR has been also observed in children (Rodenburg et al., 2009). The theoretical model that guides EMDR procedures, that is the Adaptive Information Processing (Shapiro, 2001), posits that the intense disturbing affects that accompany trauma leads the information processing system to fail in properly processing and storing the information (e.g., images, thoughts, emotions, and sensations associated to traumatic event) into functional memory networks. The eight-phase-structure of EMDR protocol are aimed at accessing these dysfunctionally stored information and facilitating the integration of traumatic memories, leading to their adaptive resolution (Shapiro, 2012).
In the last years, research has explored the neurobiological correlates of early and chronic traumatization, documenting the decreased functionality of cerebral regions related to the processing of emotional stimuli that resemble traumatic events. Recent research has evidenced that trauma has an important effect as a transdiagnostic risk factor for many psychological disorders.
In light of these results, we will discuss the role of early trauma in mental and physical health and the implications in clinical practice, highlighting the importance of specialized psychological interventions in primary and secondary prevention.

Mental health problems remain common, chronic, and difficult to treat. A promising path to improving outcomes includes the translation of basic science into interventions that are safe, powerful, and scalable.
In this talk, I will describe two programs of research.
First, we have harnessed findings from cognitive science and education to try to improve patient memory for the content of treatment. This is important as poor memory for treatment is common and is associated with worse treatment outcome. Data will be presented on the development and outcomes of a method for improving patient memory for treatment.
Second, prior research has tended to treat specific sleep problems (e.g., insomnia) in specific diagnostic groups (e.g., depression). Yet real life sleep and circadian problems are often not so neatly categorized, particularly in mental illness where features of insomnia often overlap with delayed sleep phase, irregular sleep-wake schedules, and even hypersomnia. In the hope of addressing this complexity, and grounded in basic sleep and circadian science, the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C) was developed. TranS-C is transdiagnostic in two ways: It addresses a range of sleep and circadian problems across a range of mental and physical health problems. The results from two RCTs that have tested TranS-C will be described.

The challenges of the present, such as the pandemic and the escalation of armed conflicts, increase uncertainty and alarming expectations around the world. Against this background, the manifestations of various variants of anxiety disorders are increasing. Modern cognitive behavioral therapy of anxiety disorders, in addition to traditional methods, such as various types of exposure, has also begun to include work with the entire spectrum of biopsychosocial problems of patients. This is achieved by focusing on the needs and aspirations. This extension of the therapeutic approach allows not only to stop acute symptoms in the form of panic attacks, sympatho-adrenal and vago-insular crises and other vegetative and somatic hyperreactions of the human body with excessive anxiety, but also such compensatory strategies as avoidant and safety behavior. Even more importantly, this approach affects all significant factors of etiopathogenesis of anxiety disorders, allowing to focus in therapy on the mechanisms of sanogenesis, personality development and quality of life in all leading spheres of human life.

Covid-19 shone a light on the need for health and care staff in the UK to have access to psychological support, both during and after the pandemic. With staff presenting with high levels of mental distress, trauma and burnout, NHS Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs were commissioned to provide direct, confidential support to staff struggling with their mental health. Since the pandemic, high levels of staff sickness absence for mental health reasons, and significant staff retention issues have continued to persist, highlighting the importance of ongoing access to psychological support for staff. However, with the UK government withdrawing funding for the hub, the British Psychological Society has been campaigning for continued investment in mental health and wellbeing services for this vital workforce.
The British Psychological Society has captured key learnings from the NHS Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs, to help shape and inform future provision for staff. In this presentation, I will outline the eight key principles we have identified for staff mental health and wellbeing services, I will also present evidence from qualitative research studies conducted in the north of England and finally explore the role of clinical psychology delivering evidence based therapy to support health and social care workers.

Резюме
This lecture will be presented by Larry Beutler and Satoko Kimpara.
There frequently is a disconnect between what is taught in classes by research faculty and what is modeled and taught to students and carried out in clinical practice by professional clinicians. This, combined with the 300 plus extant psychotherapy theories can easily suggest that we don’t know what we are doing. Systematic Treatment Selection (STS) is an evidence-grounded intervention that is designed to operate across diagnostic groups and can either enhance or replace one’s theoretical model with empirically identified principles of change.
From a set of four empirically grounded books that identified a large and overlapping number of principles of change, Beutler and Kimpara extract eleven general, cross-cutting principles and three culture-specific ones that, together, form a strong scientific foundation for an integrated psychotherapy. These principles are woven into a practical demonstration of how the science (the principles) and the art (the application) can effect change and improve outcomes.

Social anxiety disorder is a highly chronic disorder, usually beginning very early in life with little remission and impacts on relationships, career, and physical health. Psychological treatments have had moderate success, although the effects of treatment are the lowest among any of the anxiety disorders. Recent developments in research have pointed to several directions that hold promise for improved treatments. These include focusing intervention to underlying mechanisms, use of cognitive enhancers to increase effects, and reductions in automatic attention toward threat. Interest has also begun to focus on broader dissemination of treatments via the internet. The talk will summarise, what we know, what is promising, and where we might head.
UNDERSTANDING AND TREATING POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER: A COGNITIVE APPROACH

Anke Ehlers is a Professor of Experimental Psychopathology at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, UK, and Co-director of the Oxford Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma. She is interested in psychological processes involved in the onset and maintenance of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety disorders, and implications for treatment. With her colleagues she developed Cognitive Therapy for PTSD, one of the evidenced-based first-line interventions for PTSD recommended in international treatment guidelines. She has received several awards for her work, including the American Psychological Association award for Distinguished Contributions to Clinical Psychology (2014) and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies Lifetime Achievement Award (2022).
Резюме
Ehlers and Clark (2000) suggested that PTSD develops if trauma survivors process traumatic events in a way that lead to a sense of serious "current" threat. The perceived threat can be internal (e.g., ‘I am a bad person’) or external (e.g., ‘I will be attacked again’) and has two sources: First, people with chronic PTSD show excessively negative appraisals of their traumas and/or trauma sequelae. Second, the nature of trauma memories leads to easy cue-driven triggering of trauma memories that lack the awareness of the self in the past. Furthermore, the patients’ appraisals motivate a series of unhelpful coping behaviours and cognitive strategies that are intended to reduce the sense of current threat but maintain the disorder. Cognitive Therapy for PTSD (CT-PTSD) uses this model to develop an individualized case formulation. The presentation will give an update on research testing the model and processes of treatment efficacy.

To reduce global prevalence rates of social, emotional, and behavioural problems in children and adolescents, an integrated multi-level, system of evidence-based parenting support is required. Several criteria need to be met for such a system to work at scale in "shifting the needle" at a population level. These include having a theory of change, clear goals and targets, multiple levels of intensity of intervention available (not a "one size fits all"), involving and where possible harmonising different disciplines, sectors, and service delivery systems. The intervention needs to accommodate both flexibility and fidelity of delivery, have a well-trained and supported workforce to deliver programs. Programs need to be inclusive, gender sensitive, culturally informed, and attuned to local context including (policies, funding, type of workforce and their availability). Taking a global perspective and using the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program as an example, I will reflect on progress across four decades in attempting to meet these criteria, challenges encountered, learnings, solutions and future directions will be highlighted. Much greater collaboration and knowledge sharing between different evidence-based programs are needed to ensure collective efforts in that influence research, policy and practice. I will identify new opportunities for parenting researchers and program developers in addressing family and parenting factors related to the UN's sustainable development goals, neglected areas of research from a parenting across the lifespan perspective, and the addressing problems arising from mental health, education and child welfare policies that fail to recognise the critical importance of parenting and the need to fund both research and practice to ensure programs evolve over time and address the contemporary needs of children and their families.

Están probados los beneficios que los abordajes grupales proporcionan para una gran diversidad de situaciones. Por lo tanto, las intervenciones en grupo vienen recibiendo una atención creciente, tanto en la literatura clínica como en el ámbito de la investigación. Trabajar con grupos presupone una mirada integrativa y multidisciplinaria. En este sentido, se abordará los supuestos teóricos y prácticos de la aplicación de intervenciones grupales en diferentes contextos. Se presentará supuestos teórico-prácticos para intervenciones grupales desde una visión de las terapias cognitivo-conductuales, pasando por las competencias clínicas necesarias para intervenciones grupales y por posibilidades de intervenciones terapéuticas y de prevención y promoción de la salud, en contextos culturales diversos. Se discutirán los desafíos en las intervenciones de terapia cognitivo-conductual grupal en línea y la responsabilidad social de los profesionales de la psicología y cómo los grupos pueden ser una alternativa para superar los desafíos sociales de la realidad latinoamericana.

Los síntomas negativos se relacionan con el pronóstico de la esquizofrenia desfavorable, y se evidencia en el funcionamiento laboral/académico, social-relacional, y del autocuidado pobres. Actualmente, el abordaje tanto farmacológico como psicológico sobre los síntomas negativos no resulta satisfactorio. Las intervenciones basadas en la actividad física parecen ser, en términos generales, beneficiosas, pero desconocemos qué formato o qué aspectos son los verdaderamente necesarios. Es posible que la persona con esquizofrenia sobreestime costes e infraestime la recompensa y el placer asociados a cualquier actividad, de manera que un buen programa de ejercicio físico puede modificar favorablemente estas asociaciones. Sin embargo, no conocemos específicamente las condiciones contextuales para que estas intervenciones sean eficaces: si los beneficios lo son en general o sobre qué indicadores específicos del funcionamiento; si el ejercicio resulta favorable porque representa también una actividad comúnmente compartida; o qué tipo específico de actividad física contribuye a incrementar el placer anticipatorio y consumatorio (componentes motivacionales clave). De hecho, más allá de los síntomas y la calidad de vida, apenas hay evidencia de si mejora la respuesta hedónica, de si el sentido de grupo o comunidad representan una ventaja inherente a sus beneficios, de si se ha evaluado el tono lúdico de las intervenciones, el papel de la alianza terapéutica o el análisis de los abandonos terapéuticos, o de si se tienen en cuenta las preferencias de la actividad física o deportiva de los participantes (p.ej., relacionado con su propia historia). En este trabajo se revisan todas las características y se propone un esquema de trabajo que ponga a prueba los beneficios de la actividad física sobre los síntomas negativos, tanto en para un programa supervisado como autoaplicado.

Con la difusión de los servicios de psicoterapia online y el aumento de la migración, se ha hecho cada vez más frecuente que los psicoterapeutas se encuentren con consultantes que poseen antecedentes socioculturales diferentes a los del profesional. Esto, cuando no es bien abordado, puede tener un impacto negativo sobre el vínculo terapéutico y los resultados clínicos. En este punto, la TREC es una psicoterapia global que, cuando se tienen en cuenta ciertas consideraciones de la práctica clínica, puede ser especialmente útil para abordar relaciones terapéuticas donde existe diversidad cultural. En esta presentación se pondrá énfasis en las consideraciones clínicas a tener en cuenta, incluyendo ejemplos prácticos y análisis de casos.

La depresión es el trastorno psicológico con mayor prevalencia, según la OMS afecta a un 10% de la población. Sin embargo, su diagnóstico y evaluación están en función del criterio dimensional o categorial, de criterios diagnósticos en el sistema CIE o DSM. Por ello, uno de los problemas en el diagnóstico es la ausencia de criterios consensuados en relación con cuáles son los síntomas característicos de este trastorno, en especial por lo que se refiere a la alta comorbilidad y a la presencia de síntomas que se comparten con otras entidades clínicas.
Existen multitud de instrumentos diagnósticos, pero ninguno integral que mida todos los grupos de síntomas. Por ello, estamos desarrollando un proyecto para crear un instrumento integral de diagnóstico que evalúa los cinco grupos de síntomas (Afectivos, Conductuales, Cognitivos, Somáticos e Interpersonales). Se trata del Test de Evaluación Clínica de la Depresión TECD.
Este Test permite un diagnóstico preciso pues “rastrea” todos los síntomas y posibilita tener una puntuación global en el diagnóstico de la depresión y además una puntuación para cada factor (grupo de síntomas). Esto es muy importante pues permite un diagnóstico diferencial de cada paciente y por tanto, saber sobre que síntomas trabajar en el tratamiento, es decir, no es solo una información cuantitativa (puntuación global en depresión) sino también cualitativa (que grupos de síntomas son los afectados y por tanto, deben ser tratados).

Several influential psychologists referenced time perspective in their theoretical formulations, including Erik Erikson, Kurt Lewin, and Jean Piaget. According to Division 12 of the American Psychological Association—that is, the Society of Clinical Psychology—clinical psychology has implications “for understanding, predicting, and alleviating intellectual, emotional, and biological, psychological, social, and behavioral maladjustment, disability and discomfort” (https://div12.org/mission-statement/). In this presentation, Dr. Worrell will provide an overview of current research showcasing several time constructs, such as hope and time attitudes, and their associations with adaptive (conscientiousness, coping, self-efficacy) and maladaptive functioning (e.g., anxiety, depression, perceived stress), and clinical diagnoses.

Abstract
Arts of Chinese (e.g., calligraphy, painting, seal cutting, poetry etc.) has been practiced over thousand years in China，from childhood right to lifelong at a daily basis. It helped innumerous Chinese scholars as effective personal cultivating practice, for cognitive reappraisal, and daily life settings (e.g., art works in the studio, dining room, office, meeting rooms, etc.) in aiming for mind flow and even a flourishing. It provided effective way for wholistic development and integrated personal health maintaining and promoting practice in thousands years, through skills (技) enhancing, collective consciousness cultivating (术), and understanding the meaning of existence (道).
This presentation will focus on the cultivation and combination of four types of self (ego-centered, socio-center, eco-center, cosmos-center; Kirmayer, 2007) in comparison with Confucius vision of life (志于道、据于德、依于仁、游于艺, set personal heart on the Tao，map on universal virtue，lean upon human-heartedness，and seek relaxation and enjoyment in the six arts) which was proposed over 500 BC; in addition to discuss daily enjoyment in the arts of Chinese. Model of integrated development and Model of cultural practice for mind flow and flourishing were proposed and verified to some extent, in this regard.
The beneficial for maintaining mental health and related neurobiological evidences through practicing Chinese calligraphy (using an imitation task of Chinese calligraphic handwriting with self-rated subjective flow experience) has been provided by preliminary studies (Wang et al, 2023).
THE DIRT ROAD TO PSYCHOPATHOLOGY: DISGUST-BASED MECHANISMS AND THEIR RELEVANCE FOR THERAPY
Peter de Jong
Professor of Experimental Psychopathology
University of Groningen
NETHERLANDS
Peter J. de Jong graduated at Maastricht University (1994), and is currently full professor of Experimental Psychopathology (since 2003) at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). By combining experimental lab-based designs with (pre)clinical intervention studies his research program focusses on delineating transdiagnostic factors and mechanisms that contribute to the development and persistence of various disorders including eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunctions. One of his research lines concerns the role of disgust and disgust-based mechanisms in psychopathology and their implications for treatment.
Резюме
Disgust is a defensive emotion that is characterized by pervasive avoidance and escape tendencies. Although disgust is typically conceptualized as an adaptive emotion, it can become highly dysfunctional when it is elicited by “the wrong” stimuli, when the threshold for experiencing disgust is (too) low, or when people experience feelings of disgust as being highly aversive. Until recently, disgust received only scant attention in clinical psychological science and has even been framed as “the forgotten emotion in psychopathology”. This situation is changing with a rapidly growing scientific interest in disgust as a relevant factor in mental disorders. This presentation will provide a concise review of this emerging research, illustrate how disgust-based mechanisms might contribute to the development and persistence of various disorders (e.g., eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, sexual dysfunctions), and will put emphasis on the potential implications for clinical interventions.

This session focuses on presenting a modern and integrative model for Socratic Questioning that extends beyond purely rational discourse. Socratic Questioning is a critical skill across several evidence-based practices, serving as an element of an effective and empathically attuned rapport. Effective Socratic discourse is much more than reading a list of questions or challenging cognitive distortions. Presenters discuss Socratic processes in a flexible manner that can be applied to a variety of treatment approaches. Themes and strategies from modern cognitive therapies such as dialectical behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, schema therapy, and emotion focused therapy are integrated into a robust model. The talk will focus on applied case examples.

Резюме
Desde el modelo cognitivo conductual se plantea que, en el núcleo informacional de las personas con celos patológicos, se presenta un esquema de abandonabilidad, relacionado con una débil percepción de sí mismo, una subvaloración personal y una alta dependencia emocional, que llevan a una manifiesta desconfianza hacia la pareja. Se propone un proceso integral de intervención, en el que se revisan las estrategias de afrontamiento del sujeto, que son variables mantenedoras del problema; los pensamientos automáticos, buscando un control racional sobre los mismos; el fortalecimiento del Yo para trabajar la irresponsabilidad emocional y fomentar la autonomía del paciente; y el control emocional, para manejar las reacciones ligadas a la percepción de vulnerabilidad. Se plantean los componentes propios del modelo de intervención, desde la relación terapéutica y las técnicas tanto de debate como experienciales, a considerar en el proceso.

Insomnia is a significant health problem with a negative impact on people's quality of life. Research estimates that about 30% of adults suffer from insomnia. In Belgium, this has led to a high consumption of sleep medication: 13% of adults used sleep aids in 2018. During the COVID-19 crisis, this figure increased to 21%. However, the treatment guideline for insomnia recommends a non-pharmacological approach.
In this lecture, I present a project from the EBpractice plan in which we aim to align daily practice with the recommendations of the treatment guideline. We focus on enhancing the expertise of general practitioners and other healthcare providers (such as pharmacists, physiotherapists, nurses, psychologists, etc.) in behavioral interventions through process facilitation, education, training, and supervision.

La revisión sistemática es una metodología clave en la investigación en ciencias de la salud, y las directrices PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) proporcionan un marco detallado para su realización.
Una revisión sistemática es un enfoque riguroso y transparente para reunir y sintetizar la evidencia científica disponible sobre un tema específico en ciencias de la salud. Utiliza una metodología estructurada que busca minimizar el sesgo y maximizar la validez de los resultados. Las directrices PRISMA establecen pautas claras para la planificación, ejecución y presentación de una revisión sistemática de alta calidad.
El proceso de revisión sistemática implica varias etapas. En primer lugar, se realiza una exhaustiva búsqueda bibliográfica para lo que se requiere una adecuada ecuación de búsqueda, una selección de bases y una serie de pasos para garantizar la replicabilidad. Luego, se aplican criterios de inclusión y exclusión para seleccionar los estudios adecuados. Los datos extraídos de los estudios seleccionados se analizan y se realiza una síntesis de la evidencia.
Además de ello, se presentarán aspectos claves como la evaluación del riesgo de sesgo, la presentación adecuada de los resultados y la redacción de manuscritos.

El perfeccionismo es el esfuerzo exagerado por lograr la perfección en una o más áreas de nuestra vida. Si bien esforzarse por alcanzar altos estándares y trabajar para ello no resulta problemático, cuando este esfuerzo se basa en exigencias absolutas e irracionales sumadas a una aceptación condicional con base a nuestro desempeño, favorece y mantiene un numero de trastornos psicológicos, pudiendo incluso complicar el tratamiento y contribuir a las resistencias del consultante. Durante esta conferencia, los participantes podrán conocer cómo conceptualizar el perfeccionismo desde el modelo de la Terapia Racional Emotiva Conductual (TREC) y como un factor transdiagnóstico asociado a diferentes problemáticas clínicas. Asimismo se expondrán las principales estrategias y consideraciones para su abordaje y eficacia, promoviendo la autoaceptación incondicional y una mirada más compasiva de uno mismo como ser humano.
