A team from the Center for Psychotherapy Research published in The Lancet Psychiatry

3 Dec 2024

In one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the field, Michaela Ladmanová and a team of authors published their study. Other members of the Center for Psychotherapy Research, Tomáš Řiháček and Klára Jonášová, collaborated on the study. The study focused on a qualitative meta-analysis of the evaluation of psychotherapy outcomes from the perspective of clients, with the aim of emphasising a client-centred approach as opposed to the usual focus on symptom relief. You will be able to read a summary of the study in a blog post coming soon.

Many congratulations to the authors on this great achievement!

How do anti-bullying programmes work? New study shows hidden connections

Preventing bullying in schools is a long-standing goal of many research studies and school programmes. Despite the prevalence and severity of the problem, many interventions have so far proved only partially effective. However, some researchers argue that understanding exactly how these programmes work - i.e. what mechanisms lead to behaviour change or what role related protective and risk factors such as empathy, self-confidence or moral disengagement play in these interventions - is crucial. It is these questions that the research team, led by our member Adam Klocek, has tried to answer.

Children, screens and the mental state of mothers: Longitudinal research shines a light on the connections

Nowadays, we are experiencing a phenomenon where children are getting to digital technologies earlier and earlier - babies as young as one to two months old can spend time watching cartoons on TV screens or mobile phone screens. Some studies suggest that mothers who experience stress or symptoms of anxiety or depression may be more likely to let their babies use screens as a form of respite or relief - for the baby and for themselves. However, research in this area is often only cross-sectional - which is why a new study from the INPSY team has taken a more detailed and longitudinal approach to exploring these relationships.
