“…First, the choice of general psychiatric symptoms (SCL-90-GSI) as the outcome measure needs to be noted. This choice was based on the desire to compare our findings to the earlier ones by Sandell et al [49]; the moderate to strong association of the SCL-90-GSI (which covers, e.g., depressive, anxiety and interpersonal symptoms) to other standard outcome measures assessing global psychopathology [55] and general psychiatric symptoms [43]; as well as the measure's sensitivity to change [28,49]. While psychiatric symptoms may likely be less of a direct focus of intervention in PA and LPP than in some other treatments, they have been found to be the most sensitive to change even in these treatments and may plausibly be taken as potential indicators of deeper structural change [49].…”

“…Each item was rated on a Likert scale indicating the degree to which the participant was bothered or distressed by the symptom in the past 4 weeks (0 = not at all , 4 = extremely ; α = .98). We were particularly interested in the SCL-90-R GSI as it is a validated and common index of general psychological distress (e.g., Marshall, Schell, & Miles, 2010; Metzger et al, 2004; Øiesvold, Bakkejord, & Sexton, 2011) and allowed us to assess reactions to stress (e.g., exams) that could involve various clinical symptoms. This measure was previously used to assess clinical and treatment outcomes among depressed and other clinical and nonclinical populations (e.g., Baer, 2003; Carryer & Greenberg, 2010; Ogles, Lambert, & Sawyer, 1995).…”

Difficulties with emotion regulation in depression may be linked not only to emotion regulation strategies but also to the motivation to experience certain emotions. We assessed the degree of motivation to experience happiness or sadness in major depressive disorders outside the laboratory and prospective links to clinical outcomes over time. Depressed individuals were consistently less motivated to experience happiness and more motivated to experience sadness than nondepressed individuals. The less motivated participants were to experience happiness, the less they tried to upregulate happiness in an emotion regulation task and downregulate negative emotions during real-life stress. Importantly, the less motivated depressed participants were to experience happiness, the more clinical symptoms they exhibited months later during a stressful period, even after controlling for initial levels of symptoms. These findings demonstrate that individual differences in the degree of motivation to experience happiness in depression may carry clinical implications.

“…In calculation of the RCI as per Jacobson & Truax (1991), the reliability coefficient Cronbach’s alpha from large norming studies were used: IES total: α = .95 (Briere & Elliott, 1998); BDI-II: α = .92 (Beck et al, 1996); SCL-90–R GSI: α = .97 (Øiesvold, Bakkejord, & Sexton, 2011); IIP-C: α = .91 (Pedersen, 2002); and DES-II: α = .93 (van IJzendoorn, & Schuengel, 1996).…”

To date, most of the inpatient outcome studies among early traumatized individuals lack data on dissociative disorders. More research is needed to evaluate whether severely dissociative patients can improve following specialized inpatient treatment for chronic childhood abuse. The objectives of this study were to investigate symptomatic change in patients attending a 3-month specialized inpatient treatment program for adults with a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and mixed trauma-related disorders. In particular, symptomatic changes in those with and without a complex dissociative disorder I + II (CDD) were contrasted. Fifty-six patients with CSA and trauma-related disorders (including 23 patients with CDD) completed the treatment program and a test battery at precare evaluation, admission, discharge, and at 1-year follow-up. There was an overall symptom reduction in dimensional measures maintained at the 1-year follow-up. Patients with CDD consistently had significantly higher symptom levels than the patients without these disorders. Both patient subgroups showed parallel improvement from admission to follow-up, although those high in dissociation (CDD patients) needed more time to show improvement and were still clinically worse at the end of treatment and at follow-up. The findings were matched by clinically significant changes. The results suggest that adults with reported childhood sexual abuse and mixed trauma-related disorders can improve in symptom severity following a trauma-based 3-month inpatient program regardless of CDD status. The high distress level in CDD patients indicates that patients with CDD need treatment that is in part different from the more general treatment of polysymptomatic CSA survivors, addressing the pathological aspects of dissociation more vigorously.
