Effects of a Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy Training Program on Inpatient Staff Attitudes and Incidents of Seclusion and Restraint.
Abstract We investigated the feasibility of implementing a recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R) milieu training program in an urban acute psychiatric inpatient unit. Over a 1-month period, 29 staff members learned short-term CT-R strategies and techniques in an 8-h workshop. Trainees' perceptions of CT-R, beliefs about the therapeutic milieu, and attitudes about working with individuals with psychosis were evaluated both before the workshop and 6 months after the workshop had been completed. Incidents of seclusion and restraint on the unit were also tallied prior to and after the training. Results indicate ...

Fatness, Affluence, Adaptation and Hope
Colleagues and I recently submitted a grant application to a large foundation, seeking funds to support the True Health Initiative. The funds, should we be fortunate enough to secure them, will accelerate the development of a global communication campaign to convey the evidence and consensus-based fundamentals of healthy living, and notably, healthy eating. In particular, the grant would support a rigorous evaluation so that we could demonstrate the replacement of widespread confusion and doubts about consensus related to healthful, sustainable eating at baseline, with clarity and understanding by virtue of our efforts. Th...

This project was supported by the Pulitzer Center 7 A.M.: COPELAND FARMS—ROCHELLE, GA Just after dawn on a recent July day in Rochelle, Ga., Silvia Moreno Ayala steps into a pair of sturdy work pants, slips on a long-sleeved shirt, and slathers her face and hands with sunscreen.

An evaluation of efficacy and acceptability of a novel manualised JuniorLEAP group programme for compulsive exercise, for children and adolescents with anorexia nervosa, within an inpatient setting.
CONCLUSION: This study finds that a new manualised JuniorLEAP group therapy, specifically adapted for adolescents and children with AN, when used as an adjuvant with other therapies in a residential setting, significantly reduces their compulsive exercise, as measured by CET. The patients reported that the treatment was acceptable. Further research testing the new treatment in a randomised controlled trial is now needed, particularly to disentangle the impact of other aspects of standard treatment in reducing compulsive exercise. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II. PMID: 32232776 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Anticipation and navigation: Do your legs know what your tongue is doing?
To survive, animals must explore their world to find the necessities of life. It's a complex task, requiring them to form them a mental map of their environment to navigate the safest and fastest routes to food and water. They also learn to anticipate when and where certain important events, such as finding a meal, will occur.    Understanding the connection between these two fundamental behaviors, navigation and the anticipation of a reward, had long eluded scientists because it was not possible to simultaneously study both while an animal was moving.    In an effort to overcome this difficulty and t...

Quiz: Is Your Work Stress Burnout?
Christina Maslach is professor emerita of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Michael P. Leiter is professor emeritus of psychology at Acadia University. Maslach and Leiter co-authored The Burnout Challenge: Managing People’s Relationships with Their Jobs. If you’re like roughly 40% of office workers, you might describe yourself as feeling burned out by your job. But is it burnout, run-of-the-mill work stress, or something else entirely? Although just about everyone can have a bad or tiring day at work occasionally, people who are experiencing burnout have them all or most of the time. Bur...

News at a glance: Long Covid treatment, global earthquake model, and deep-sea mining
MARINE SCIENCE Ocean mining ban sought Europe’s top science advisory panel last week called for a moratorium on commercial deep-sea mining, arguing that its environmental impacts are poorly understood and that critical clean energy minerals can be harvested from mines on land. According to some forecasts, only the highest demand scenarios for minerals used in renewable power and electric vehicles require supplies from the deep sea, says the report from the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council. Next month, the United Nations’s International Seabed Authority (ISA) will consider a moratorium in in...

Diet, exercise and brain training may help keep the mind 'sharp'
Conclusion This RCT suggests a combination of advice on lifestyle, group activities, individual sessions and monitoring of risk factors appear to improve mental ability in elderly people at risk of dementia. Whether it will have an effect on the development of dementia in such a population is uncertain, but the participants will be followed for at least seven years to determine whether the improved mental scores seen here are followed by reduced levels of dementia. The trial was done in Finland and its results may not be applicable elsewhere, although the interventions included, such as diet and exercise, are similar to ...

Effects of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate on Functional Impairment Measured on the Sheehan Disability Scale in Adults With Moderate-to-severe Binge Eating Disorder: Results from Two Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trials
Conclusion: These findings indicate that LDX treatment is associated with improvement on the SDS in adults with moderate-to-severe BED. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) recognizes binge eating disorder (BED) as a distinct eating disorder.1 Left untreated, individuals with BED often experience reduced quality of life2 and impaired functionality3 in multiple domains, including work/school, social life, and family responsibilities, compared to individuals without BED. For instance, on the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS), a validated discretized analog (Discan) scale that assesses...

A longitudinal study of eating behaviours in childhood and later eating disorder behaviours and diagnoses.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest continuities of eating behaviours into eating disorders from early life to adolescence. It remains to be determined whether childhood eating behaviours are an early manifestation of a specific phenotype or whether the mechanisms underlying this continuity are more complex. Findings have the potential to inform preventative strategies for eating disorders.Declaration of interestC.M.B. reports conflict of interest with Shire (grant recipient, Scientific Advisory Board member) and Pearson and Walker (author, royalty recipient). All other authors have indicated they have no conflicts of interes...

Consequence ‐based communication about adolescent romantic experience between parents and adolescents: A qualitative study underpinned by social constructionism
In this study, we explored what was discussed about adolescent romantic experience between parents and adolescents in China. Twenty‐seven parents and 38 adolescents from a northern–eastern city of China were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed using a social constructionism framework. Four themes were identified: (i) detriments of romantic experience to education and future prospect; (ii) health and sociocultural risks of romantic and sexual engagement; (iii) ways of handling romantic experience; and (iv) marriage and family building. The messages were mainly prohibitive and cons...
