Question Answer
Clark Beck & Brown (1992) Dysphoric subjects rated negative life events as significantly more distressing than controls.
Riso et al (2003) Depressed patients were high in maladaptive core beliefs, dysfunctional attitudes and negative attributional style (cognitive appraisals)
Scher, Ingram and Segal (2005) Schema-activation: a meta analysis found that dysfunctional assumptions plus a range of stressful life events predicted onset of MDD/depressive symptoms
Harkness, Lumley & Truss (2008) Adolescents who were abused as children rated stressful life events as more negative following onset of depression in comparison to the time prior to depression. This suggests that early life stress increases cognitive vulnerability, leading to later negative events triggering depression.
Meyer et al Increased dysfunctional attitudes were found in patients with low intracellular serotonin.
Otani & Suzuki (2016) 591 participants completed the dysfunctional attitudes scale and the relationship scales questionnaire. Found that self control, achievement and dependency sub scales of the DAS negatively correlated with the self model. Suggests dysfunctional assumptions can lead to a negative view of ourselves.
Segal, Gemar & Williams (1999) (part one) 30 formerly depressed patients completed a mood induction task, where the effect of mood manipulations on their dysfunctional attitudes was tested. Mood linked cognitive reactivity significantly predicted relapse at a 4 year follow up. Suggests cognitive reactivity increases vulnerability to depression.
Segal, Gemar & Williams (1999) (part two) Individuals who had received drug treatment were higher in cognitive reactivity than CBT patients. Suggests that CBT may be a better long term solution for treating depression.
Rollnick & Miller (2002) Introduced the idea of motivational interviewing to CBT - this is where a patient is asked how motivated they are to change behaviours that are not consistent with client's personal values or goals.
Addis & Jacobson (2000) A longitudinal study revealed that acceptance of treatment rationale and compliance in homework tasks were related to between within treatment improvements and outcomes.
Ritchey et al (2011) Disturbances in neural regions affected in MDD were found to resolve themselves following intensive CBT. Changes in these regions were predictive of improvements in symptoms too.
Dear et al (2012) 20 participants aged 60 + were given online sessions of CBT within an 8 week period. Found that standardised depression scores were significantly reduced following the 8 weeks. CBT can be useful even to those who cannot access it!
Dimidjian et al (2006) 241 participants, randomly assorted into control and treatment groups. In cases of severe depression, behavioural activation therapy was comparable to medication, and both significantly outperformed CBT.
