- Arguments over whether reducing fat or carbohydrate is more important for weight loss have raged for years. This well-conducted study suggests that both can work well, so long as people stick to them, eat less overall, and eat a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and little sugar or refined grain.
- This study adds a great deal of new and useful information to our understanding of the effects of antidepressants when used to treat depression in adults. The overall message is encouraging: these drugs are more effective than a placebo, and most of them are at least as tolerable as a placebo. This was a very large, well-conducted review. However, it has a number of limitations

- Psychology, Public Policy, and Law Vol. 24, Iss. 1, (Feb 2018): 11-23. Experts in forensic psychology must make skilled observations and conclusions, minimally compromised by bias, in order to try and provide reliable and accurate conclusions to the courts. But the field has little data revealing how well forensic psychologists actually perform these tasks, in part because there has been no clear framework for systematic research of their expertise. Therefore, we consider forensic psychological assessments in light of Dror’s (2016) Hierarchy of Expert Performance (HEP).. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
- Psychology, Public Policy, and Law Vol. 24, Iss. 1, (Feb 2018): 48-63. Whereas there is a common assumption that most individuals with a criminal record can be eventually reintegrated into the community, the public has different expectations for sexual offenders. In many countries, individuals with a history of sexual offenses are subject to a wide range of long-term restrictions on housing and employment, as well as public notification measures intended to prevent them from merging unnoticed into the population of law-abiding citizens. This article examines the testable assumption that individuals with a history of sexual crime present an enduring risk for sexual recidivism..

- Journal of Abnormal Psychology Vol. 127, Iss. 1, (Jan 2018): 1-11. The hopelessness theory of depression is a prominent account of depression that posits that individuals with a negative inferential style are more likely to become hopeless when they experience negative life events (NLEs) and that hopelessness is a proximal cause of depression. There is strong evidence supporting the role of a negative inferential style in the pathogenesis of major depression; however, substantially less is known about the proposed role played by hopelessness..

- Professional Psychology: Research and Practice Vol. 49, Iss. 1, (Feb 2018): 39-47. Amassing research findings suggests that religious faith and/or spirituality (R/S) can both help and hinder recovery from mental health conditions that might prompt military veterans to seek psychotherapy or counseling. As such, there is increasing interest among psychologists and other professionals working with military populations in the helpfulness of addressing the R/S domain. However, research has yet to examine veterans’ actual preferences for integrating R/S in their treatment.. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.

- Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy (Feb 12, 2018): No Pagination Specified Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have devastating effects on multiple aspects of functioning. Thus, it is imperative to increase access to evidence-based treatment for PTSD. Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE) has extensive empirical support and is one of the first-line PTSD treatments included in civilian, veteran, and military clinical practice guidelines. However, the standard 90-min PE session format can constitute a significant barrier to its adoption in routine clinical care settings, which typically schedule 60-min appointment sessions. If the length of PE sessions could be reduced from 90 to 60 min without compromising treatment efficacy and efficiency, this would remove a major barrier to PE adoption..

- Neuropsychology Vol. 32, Iss. 1, (Jan 2018): 89-101. Objective: The frequency of mind-wandering (MW) decreases as a function of age in healthy individuals. One possible explanation is that MW is a resource-dependent process, and cognitive resources decline with age. The present study provides the first investigation of MW in the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to further examine the resource model and discontinuities between healthy aging and AD..

- Stigma and Health Vol. 3, Iss. 1, (Feb 2018): 1-8. Stigma is a common difficulty for those who experience psychosis as they are viewed as most dangerous, unpredictable, and least likely to recover. In particular, experiences of stigma are yet to be explored with inpatients admitted to psychiatric hospital. The aim of this study was to examine subjective experiences of stigma with acute psychiatric inpatients who experience psychosis.. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
- Stigma and Health Vol. 3, Iss. 1, (Feb 2018): 16-26. Health disparities related to stigmatized characteristics, including sexual orientation, have been well-documented. However, it is largely unknown whether temporal declines in stigma at a structural level contribute to concomitant reductions in health disparities between stigmatized and nonstigmatized groups. The objective of this study was to (a) explore associations between reductions in structural stigma (i.e., laws, policies, and social attitudes concerning sexual minorities) during the past decade in Sweden and sexual orientation-based mental health disparities, and (b) identify potential mechanisms that might explain this relationship..

- Stigma and Health Vol. 3, Iss. 1, (Feb 2018): 77-84. Extensive research confirms that people with psychotic disorders suffer high levels of social stigma on average. However, psychotic-like experiences show incredible diversity and cannot reasonably be understood as a monolithic category. It is plausible that voice-hearing experiences with benign content might elicit less stigma than those with negative content, and researchers have hypothesized that culturally or theologically consistent voice-hearing experiences might elicit no stigma at all..

- Stigma and Health Vol. 3, Iss. 1, (Feb 2018): 42-52. Substance use disorder is one of the most stigmatized health conditions. Stigma internalization is one of the main consequences of the stigmatization process, and it is associated with lower self-esteem and self-efficacy and worse recovery prospects. It may also bring guilt, hopelessness, anxiety, self-devaluation, and depression. This study investigated self-stigma among substance dependents who sought treatment, testing the construction of a psychosocial model for understanding this phenomenon..

- GeroPsych: The Journal of Gerontopsychology and Geriatric Psychiatry Vol. 31, Iss. 1, (2018): 17-30. Existing research has primarily evaluated music therapy (MT) as a means of reducing the negative affect, behavioral, and/or cognitive symptoms of dementia. Music listening (ML), on the other hand, offers a less-explored, potentially equivalent alternative to MT and may further reduce exposure to potentially harmful psychotropic medications traditionally used to manage negative behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD)..

- Psychology of Violence (Feb 15, 2018): No Pagination Specified Objective: College women are at risk for exposure to sexual victimization, which is a risk factor for posttraumatic stress (PTS) and sexual dysfunction. Contemporary models of female sexual functioning identify the role of distal (e.g., sexual abuse) and proximal (e.g., psychological) variables in contributing to female sexual response. This study examined whether and how PTS symptom clusters are related to specific domains of sexual functioning in a sample of sexually active college women who reported a history of sexual victimization.

- Open access. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder presenting clinically with personality change (behavioural variant FTD (bvFTD)) or language deficits (primary progressive aphasia (PPA)). About a third of FTD is familial with mutations in GRN, MAPT and C9orf72 being the major genetic causes. Robust biomarkers of the underlying pathology are still lacking in FTD with no markers currently being able to distinguish those with tau and TDP-43 inclusions during life.

- Editorial commentary. This JNNP meta-analysis, which included 15 studies with 812 047 participants, showed an elevated dementia risk in lifelong single (42%) and widowed (20%) but not divorced persons compared with those who were married.1 Although one study from Sweden contributed the vast majority (92%) of participants, the other studies were also broadly in agreement and, importantly, came from a wide range of countries across the world: Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Sweden), North and South America (Brazil, USA) and Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan). Furthermore, the robustness of the association was shown by sensitivity analyses for demographic factors (sex, whether study subjects were born before or after 1927) and study methodology (type, quality). However, the association with dementia subtypes was not significant likely ….... To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
