“…Encouraged by the low‐dose efficiency in preclinical tests, we investigated here the effects of 20 mg (1 × 20 mg) and 40 mg (2 × 20 mg) E. angustifolia extract on anxiety in healthy volunteers. Although the STAI has no established thresholds, the cut‐off value of 45 points (the threshold for inclusion in this study) has been employed in many similar studies and is considered to be the threshold for clinically significant levels of anxiety (Tominaga et al ., ; Berghout and Zevalkink, ; Dyson et al ., ). Based on studies where anxiety was evaluated by both the STAI and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (Alpsoy et al ., ; Laakmann et al ., ; Andreatini et al ., ; De Candia et al ., ;), we suggest that our subjects showed mild, but clinically relevant levels of anxiety.…”

“…the cut‐off score was 46 at each subscale). This approach and similar cut‐off scores were amply employed earlier (Tominaga et al ., ; Berghout and Zevalkink, ; Dyson et al ., ). Exclusion criteria were as follows: any diagnosed DSM‐IV Axis I disorder and/or psychotropic medication during the 6 months that preceded the study, DSM‐IV personality disorder, suicidal risk as judged by the investigator (JZ, JF), participation in psychotherapy during the 3 months that preceded the study, allergy towards plants of the family Asteraceae, and pregnancy.…”

We investigated the toxicity, psychotropic side effects and anxiolytic potential of an Echinacea angustifolia extract that produced promising effects in laboratory tests performed earlier. Rats were studied in the elevated plus-maze, conditioned fear, open-field, object recognition and conditioned place preference tests. Toxicity was studied in rats after intragastric administration. The preparation decreased anxiety in the elevated plus-maze and ameliorated contextual conditioned fear. No lethality or behavioural signs of discomfort were noticed in rats treated with 1000 and 3000 mg/kg Echinacea angustifolia. The extract was without effect in tests of locomotion (open-field), memory (object recognition) and rewarding potential (conditioned place preference) within a wide dose range. A pharmacological formulation based on the same E. angustifolia extract was tested in human subjects. One or two tablets per day were administered for 1 week to healthy volunteers scoring high on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The tablets contained 20 mg of the plant extract. Data were collected using a structured self-assessment diary technique. The high dose (2 tablets per day) decreased STAI scores within 3 days in human subjects, an effect that remained stable for the duration of the treatment (7 days) and for the 2 weeks that followed treatment. The lower dose (1 tablet per day) did not affect anxiety significantly.

Does Race Moderate Social Support and Psychological Distress Among Rural Older Adults?

Greater social support is associated with decreased psychological distress among older adults. Researchers have found racial differences in psychological distress. Might race moderate social support and psychological distress? The authors hypothesized African American collectivistic values could increase the importance of social support. Participants were rural adults aged 60 and older (N = 100). Multiple regression analyses controlled for health, income, education, and sex. Race moderated satisfaction with social support and psychological distress. However, greater satisfaction predicted less psychological distress among Caucasians while it was not associated with African Americans’ distress in this sample. Achieving satisfaction with social support may be particularly important for Caucasians receiving therapy. Interventions may also address strategies to improve physical health, emotional support, and quality of social support, which significantly predicted psychological distress for both groups.

“…De gemiddelde effectgroottes bleken in de PAgroep vooral voor de persoonlijkheidsinstrumenten iets hoger uit te vallen dan in de PP-groep. Uit eerder onderzoek (Berghout & Zevalkink, 2008;Zevalkink & Berghout, 2008b, 2008c kwam naar voren dat bij de gevolgde patiënten inderdaad sprake is van forse en langdurige problematiek: zij werden door (chronische) depressiviteit, interpersoonlijke problemen en (angstige) persoonlijkheidspathologie en ongeveer 70% van de patiënten had eerder kortdurende behandelingen geprobeerd zonder voldoende succes. Symptoomvermindering wordt doorgaans niet gezien als een belangrijk doel van langdurige psychoanalytische behandelingen (Blatt & Auerbach, 2003;Galatzer-Levy, Bachrach, Skolnikoff & Waldron, 2000;Kantrowitz, Katz, Paolitto, Sashin & Solomon, 1987).…”

Psychoanalyse en psychoanalytische psychotherapie Effectgroottes en klinische significantie Caspar C. Berghout, Jolien Zevalkink en Thijs de Wolf c In dit artikel worden de resultaten gepubliceerd van onderzoek naar de effectiviteit van psychoanalyse (PA) en psychoanalytische psychotherapie (PP). Patiënten in verschillende fasen van behandeling (voor, na, follow-up) werden met elkaar vergeleken op symptomen en persoonlijkheidsfunctioneren (SCL-90-R, BDI-II, ZBV, IIP-64, MMPI-2). Daarnaast hebben we hun scores vergeleken met die van klinische en niet-klinische normgroepen. Zowel PA als PP bleek effectief in het verminderen van symptomen en persoonlijkheidsproblemen. Een groot deel van de patiënten bleek na behandeling op de meeste instrumenten in het niet-klinische bereik te functioneren. CASPAR C.
