“…The number of subjects involved in the intervention of Cognitive Behavior Therapy varied among the studies. For example, 55 people (Farren et al, 2015), 4 people (Besenius et al, 2013), 17 people (Arnedt et al, 2011), and 155 people (Epstein, 2018). Other varieties can be seen in other studies.…”

“…For example, the experimental group was given treatment in the form of computer-based cognitive therapy for 5 hours, inpatient rehabilitation care for 4 weeks, and a follow-up for 3 months, while the control group did not get treatment like the experimental group (Farren et al, 2015 ). Besides, one group was given Female-Specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (G FS-CBT) while the other group was given individual Female-Specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-FS-CBT) (Epstein et al, 2018), or the group given Behavior Couple Therapy was compared to groups given Individual Cognitive Behavior Therapy (Vedel et al, 2008), and the group given Cognitive Behavior Therapy was compared to the group with Cognitive Behavior Therapy plus Supportive Counseling (Sannibale et al, 2013),…”

Scientifically, many studies confirmed the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, especially for people with alcohol abuse. This study presents a literature review that examines 10 international journals published between 2000 and 2018. The purpose of this study is to examine more deeply the research subject, comorbidity of alcohol use disorders, treatment goals, research designs, treatment settings, and the development of cognitive-behavioral therapy in industry 4.0. Based on reviews that have been done, the age of alcohol abusers varies greatly, ranging from 18 to 53 years old. It was also found that alcohol abuse is commonly comorbid with insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder. The treatment goals and settings also vary. In terms of research design, experimental research was mostly used to examine this issue. In this technological and digital era today, internet-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy has proven to be effective in reducing the severity or intensity of drinking alcohol. This has become a separate recommendation for developing countries.

“…For the current secondary analyses, we drew data from women who were randomized to the individual FS-CBT condition ( n =35; other conditions were not female-specific). The second RCT (Study 2) randomized women to either individual FS-CBT or group FS-CBT (Epstein et al, under review). Data from 111 women in Study 2 were used for the current analyses (see below for details), for a total sample of 146 women in the current analyses.…”

“…Research has shown that women with AUD have a distinct clinical presentation and course of the disorder from men with AUD (Epstein & Menges, 2013), and gender differences exist in antecedents of relapse and mediators of treatment change (Epstein et al, under review). For instance, issues related to interpersonal functioning, emotion and mood regulation, and self-care have been shown to be particularly prevalent and relevant among women with AUD compared to men with AUD (Walitzer & Dearing, 2006; Timko, Finney, & Moos, 2005).…”

Sudden gains (SGs) are defined as abrupt and significant improvements in mental health symptoms that occur between two psychotherapy sessions. Preliminary evidence suggests that SGs may be an important pattern of symptom reduction in the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) (i.e., a steep between-session reduction in drinking or alcohol craving frequency or intensity) (Drapkin et al., 2015). The current study examined SGs within two randomized clinical trials (RCTs) testing female-specific cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) protocol for AUD (n = 146). We tested a priori hypotheses about whether women’s baseline depression, anxiety, and confidence to be abstinent while in a negative emotional state would predict attainment of SGs after attending sessions that addressed depression, anxiety, and emotion regulation (i.e., sessions five and six of the 12-session protocol). Data were collected at baseline, within treatment, and 15 months after baseline. Results showed that women with high levels of depression and/or anxiety and low confidence to be abstinent in a negative emotional state at baseline were more likely to experience a SG (steep decrease in drinking) after sessions five and six (p=.02). Further, among women with high levels of depression and/or anxiety at baseline, those who experienced both a SG in drinking after session five/six and had higher confidence to remain abstinent in a negative emotional state at the end of treatment reported lower drinking frequency at 9- but not 15-month follow-up [95% CI = (−2.65, −0.86)]. Findings support the value of providing interventions targeting mood and emotion regulation in AUD treatment for women.

Clinical practice guidelines based on evidence for cognitive‐behavioural therapy in Parkinson's disease comorbidities: A literature review

The purpose of this review is to provide psychologists and other health care professional enough knowledge about available cognitive‐behavioural interventions for comorbidities in Parkinson's disease that include depression, anxiety, impulsive disorder, pain, and sleep disturbances. This review has clear clinical practical suggestions how to adapt psychological interventions and techniques to the motor and/or cognitive impairments of patients with Parkinson's disease, based on earlier available research results. Every available research that could be found with the help of search engines from Medline, Springer, PsychINFO, and Google Scholar, which used cognitive‐behavioural therapy to treat Parkinson's comorbidities, was cited and explained. Cognitive‐behavioural interventions and techniques are presented based on available research results for Parkinson's comorbidities. It is recommended to use treatment plans and interventions that are earlier suggested as efficient in patients with Parkinson's disease. Strongest available research based recommendations are available for depression and anxiety. There are only few available research studies that used cognitive and/or behavioural interventions for pain, impulsive disorder, or sleeping disturbances, except insomnia in Parkinson's disease. Cognitive‐behavioural therapy is safe to use and should be adapted to the specific needs of patients and with the scientific approved treatment interventions and techniques. Psychologists should be careful on how they adapt their treatment plan for patients.
