“…A CAPS follow-up assessment was conducted by one of two other trained clinicians, who were blind to the condition assignment. To assess interrater reliability, we used a joint interview method [16]. Interrater reliability of the total CAPS score was good (r = 0.97).…”

Background: The feeling of being contaminated (FBC) is a common phenomenon in survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Thus far, this symptom has been neglected in research and therapy. For this reason, we developed Cognitive Restructuring and Imagery Modification (CRIM), a two-session treatment (lasting 90 and 50 min) that specifically targets the FBC. The present study examined the efficacy of the treatment. Methods: Thirty-four women with CSA-related PTSD (mean age = 37 years) were randomized to either the CRIM group or a waitlist control group. Primary outcomes were intensity, vividness, and uncontrollability of the FBC, associated distress, and PTSD symptoms, which were assessed using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale and the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale. Outcomes were measured pre- and posttreatment, and at the 4-week follow-up. (M)ANOVAs were used to compare improvements across conditions. Results: All FBC scores yielded a greater reduction in the CRIM group than the waitlist control (WL) group. Between-group effect sizes at follow-up were large and highly significant (intensity: d = 1.52, p < 0.001; vividness: d = 1.28, p < 0.001; uncontrollability: d = 1.77, p < 0.001; distress: d = 1.80, p < 0.001). PTSD symptoms also yielded a greater reduction in the CRIM group than the WL group, with large between-group effect sizes (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale: d = 0.93, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings support the efficacy of the newly developed CRIM in reducing the FBC and PTSD symptoms in adult survivors of CSA.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) gradually lose their cognitive competence, particularly memory, and the ability to perform daily life tasks. Neuropsychological rehabilitation is used to improve cognitive functions by facilitating memory performance through the use of external aids and internal strategies. The effect of neuropsychological rehabilitation through memory training -motor movements, verbal association, and categorization -and activities of daily living (ADL) training was tested in a sample of 5 elderly out-patients (mean age: 77.4 ± 2.88 years), with mild AD (Mini-Mental State Examination score: 22.20 ± 2.17) and their caregivers. All patients had been taking rivastigmine (6-12 mg/day) for at least 3 months before being assigned to the rehabilitation sessions, and they continued to take the medication during the whole program. Just before and after the 14-week neuropsychological rehabilitation program all patients were assessed by interviewers that did not participate in the cognitive training, using the Mini-Mental State Examination, Montgomery-Alsberg Depression Rating Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Interview to Determine Deterioration in Functioning in Dementia, Functional Test, Memory Questionnaire of Daily Living for patient and caregiver, Quality of Life Questionnaire for patient and caregiver, and a neuropsychological battery. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in ADL measured by Functional Test (P = 0.04), and only a small improvement in memory and psychiatric symptoms. Our results support the view that weekly stimulation of memory and training of ADL is believed to be of great value in AD treatment, not only delaying the progress of the disease, but also improving some cognitive functions and ADL, even though AD is a progressively degenerative disease.

“…The following values were used in the RCI formulae in the present study: GAD CSR, SD = 0.91, reliability = .72; STAI-T, SD = 7.66, reliability = .84; PSWQ, SD = 8.09, reliability = .91; HARS, SD = 6.90, reliability = .80. Standard deviations represent the standard deviation of the pooled sample at pretherapy assessment, and the reliability estimates represent reported retest reliability coefficients for each measure (Bruss et al, 1994;Meyer et al, 1990;Newman et al, 2010;Spielberger et al, 1983). Mean RCIs were calculated for change immediately after treatment relative to pretherapy assessment.…”

“…Internal consistency ranges from adequate to good (αs = .77 to .81, Moras, di Nardo, & Barlow, 1992; .82 in the current sample). Retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, or ICC) was .86 across 2 days, and interrater reliability ICCs ranged from .74 to .96 (Bruss, Gruenberg, Goldstein, & Barber, 1994 The PSWQ is a 16-item self-report measure of pathological worry. Factor analysis indicated that the PSWQ assesses a unidimensional construct with internal consistency of .91 (Meyer et al, 1990; .83 in the current sample).…”
