Attentional bias towards interpersonal aggression in depression – an eye movement study

2020

Depressed individuals exhibit an attentional bias towards mood-congruent stimuli, yet evidence for biased processing of threat-related information in human interaction remains scarce. Here, we tested whether an attentional bias towards interpersonally aggressive pictures over interpersonally neutral pictures could be observed to a greater extent in depressed participants than in control participants. Eye movements were recorded while the participants freely viewed visually matched interpersonally aggressive and neutral pictures, which were presented in pairs. Across the groups, participants spent more time looking at neutral pictures than at aggressive pictures, probably reflecting avoidanc…

Detecting couple therapy for depression with a method Couple Therapy Process Q-set (CTQS) : process-descriptions of two good and one poor outcome cas…

2013

Tämä pro gradu – tutkielma on osa Dialogiset ja narratiiviset prosessit masennuksen pariterapiassa – projektia (DINADEP), jonka tarkoituksena oli tutkia masennuksen pariterapiaa ja mahdollisia tekijöitä, jotka voisivat vaikuttaa sen lopputulokseen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten pariterapiaprosessia kuvaavaa Q-set-menetelmää (PTQS) voidaan käyttää masennuksen pariterapiaprosessien kuvailuun tutkimalla kolmea tapausta, joista kaksi oli hyvin onnistuneita hoitoja ja yksi oli huonosti onnistunut hoito. PTQS arvioi yhtä terapiaistuntoa kerrallaan ja analysoitaessa useita istuntoja, saadaan tarkka kuva koko prosessista. Toinen tutkimuksen tavoite oli tutkia, kuinka terapeut…

The Effects of Dance Movement Therapy in the Treatment of Depression: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial in Finland

2020

This multicenter research investigates the effects of dance movement therapy (DMT) on participants diagnosed with depression. In total, 109 persons participated in the study in various locations in Finland. The participants were 39 years old, on average (range = 18–64 years), and most were female (96%). All participants received treatment as usual (TAU). They were randomized into DMT + TAU (n = 52) or TAU only (n = 57). The participants in the DMT + TAU group were offered 20 DMT sessions twice a week for 10 weeks in addition to standard care. The measurement points included pretreatment measurement at the baseline, posttreatment measurement at the end of the intervention, and a follow-up me…

Music Therapy for Depression Enhanced With Listening Homework and Slow Paced Breathing: A Randomised Controlled Trial

2021

Introduction: There is evidence from earlier trials for the efficacy of music therapy in the treatment of depression among working-age people. Starting therapy sessions with relaxation and revisiting therapeutic themes outside therapy have been deemed promising for outcome enhancement. However, previous music therapy trials have not investigated this issue.Objective: To investigate the efficacy of two enhancers, resonance frequency breathing (RFB) and listening homework (LH), when combined with an established music therapy model (trial registration number ISRCTN11618310).Methods: In a 2 × 2 factorial randomised controlled trial, working-age individuals with depression were allocated into gr…

My emotions expressed by music

2014

Improvisational psychodynamic music therapy (IPMT) has been demonstrated by Erkkilä et al. (2011) to be effective in the treatment for people suffering from depression. For the purpose of a mixed methods research design all musical improvisations have been captured electronically, the therapist’s notes have been standardized, and the sessions have been recorded and saved. Furthermore, the research team of the university of Jyväskylä has developed a computational analysis software, called Music Therapy Toolbox (MTTB). The purpose of this master’s thesis was to investigate two improvisations from one case in-depth, through the use of the MTTB software. The findings are presented, as well as t…

Masennusoireiden ja terveyspalvelujen käytön välinen yhteys : FIN-D2D-väestötutkimus

2017

Masennus on kansainvälisesti yksi merkittävimmistä toimintakykyä heikentävistä sairauksista. Masennusoireet lisäävät merkittävästi riskiä sairastua masennukseen. Ainoastaan vähemmistön masennuksesta kärsivistä on todettu hakevan apua sairauteen ja hoitoa haetaan sitä todennäköisemmin, mitä vaikeampi ja pitkäkestoisempi masennustila on, ja mitä suurempi siihen liittyvä koettu toimintakyvyn heikkeneminen on. Tämän poikkileikkaustutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää masennusoireiden yhteyttä terveyspalvelujen käyttöön. Lisäksi haluttiin selvittää, mitä terveyspalveluita käyttö kuormittaa ja mitkä taustatekijät ovat yhteydessä terveyspalvelujen käyttöön. Kolmen eri sairaanhoitopiirin alueilta…

The relationship between PHP and the severity of depressive symptoms was also investigated. Methods A total of 760 participants with depressive symptoms (DS) aged ≥35 years participated in this study. The study was conducted between 2008 and 2016 in municipalities within the Central Finland Hospital District.

Relations Between Suicidal Ideation, Depression, and Emotional Autonomy from Parents in Adolescence

2010

We examined the relations between depression, emotional autonomy quality-related constructs of separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation, focusing on the unique and common contribution that depression, separation and detachment made to suicidal ideation. We also examined gender differences. 403 adolescents, 196 boys and 207 girls, completed self-report measures of depression, separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation. The data showed a significant relation between depression and suicidal ideation both for boys and girls, and between detachment and suicidal ideation only for boys. Results for boys supported an additive model such that depression and detachment each contributed …
