- ItemChange in Symptomatic Burden and Life Satisfaction during Short-Term Psychotherapy: Focusing on the role of Family Income(2017) Behn Berliner, Alex Joseph; Errázuriz Arellano, Paula; Cottin, Marianne; Fischer Perlman, Candice
- ItemMultinational Evaluation of the Measurement Invariance of the Level of Personality Functioning Scale-Brief Form 2.0: Comparison of Student and Community Samples Across Seven Countries(2022) Natoli, Adam P.; Bach, Bo; Behn, Alex; Cottin, Marianne; Gritti, Emanuela S.; Hutsebaut, Joost; Lamba, Nishtha; Le Corff, Yann; Zimmermann, Johannes; Lapalme, MelaniePublic Significance Statement The Level of Personality Functioning Scale-Brief Form 2.0 is a brief self-report measure of personality functioning that appears to assess self- and interpersonal functioning impairment similarly across many different countries, which offers encouraging evidence supporting its international use.
- ItemPopulation-attributable risk of adverse childhood experiences for high suicide risk, psychiatric admissions, and recurrent depression, in depressed outpatients(2021) Gloger, Sergio; Martinez, Pablo; Behn, Alex; Victoria Chacon, M.; Cottin, Marianne; Diez de Medina, Dante; Vohringer, Paul A.Background: Population-attributable risk (PAR) may help estimate the potential contribution of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to serious clinical presentations of depression, characterized by suicidality, previous psychiatric admissions, and episode recurrence.
- ItemThe contribution of early adverse stress to complex and severe depression in depressed outpatients(2021) Gloger, Sergio; Vohringer, Paul A.; Martinez, Pablo; Victoria Chacon, M.; Caceres, Cristian; Diez de Medina, Dante; Cottin, Marianne; Behn, AlexBackground To assess whether linear effects or threshold effects best describe the association between early adverse stress (EAS) and complex and severe depression (i.e., depression with treatment resistance, psychotic symptoms, and/or suicidal ideation), and to examine the attributable risk of complex and severe depression associated with EAS.
- Item“What If We Get Sick?”: Spanish Adaptation and Validation of the Fear of Illness and Virus Evaluation Scale in a Non-clinical Sample Exposed to the COVID-19 Pandemic(2021) Cottin, Marianne ; Hernández, Cristóbal ; Núñez, Catalina ; Labbé, Nicolás ; Quevedo, Yamil ; Davanzo, Antonella; Alex BehnDistinct sources of stress have emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly, fear is expected to generate significant psychological burden on individuals and influence on either unsafe behavior that may hinder recovery efforts or virus-mitigating behaviors. However, little is known about the properties of measures to capture them in research and clinical settings. To resolve this gap, we evaluated the psychometric properties of a novel measure of fear of illness and viruses and tested its predictive value for future development of distress. We extracted a random sample of 450 Chilean adult participants from a large cross-sectional survey panel and invited to participate in this intensive longitudinal study for 35 days. Of these, 163 ended up enrolling in the study after the demanding nature of the measurement schedule was clearly explained to them. For this final sample, we calculated different Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) to evaluate the preliminary proposed structure for the instrument. Complementarily, we conducted a content analysis of the items to qualitatively extract its latent structure, which was also subject to empirical test via CFA. Results indicated that the original structure did not fit the data well; however, the new proposed structure based on the content analysis did. Overall, the modified instrument showed good reliability through all subscales both by its internal consistency with Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.814 to 0.913, and with test-retest correlations ranging from 0.715 to 0.804. Regarding its convergent validity, individuals who scored higher in fears tended to also score higher in depressive and posttraumatic stress symptoms at baseline. Furthermore, higher fears at baseline predicted a higher score in posttraumatic stress symptomatology 7 days later. These results provide evidence for the validity, reliability, and predictive performance of the scale. As the scale is free and multidimensional potentially not circumscribed to COVID-19, it might work as a step toward understanding the psychological impact of current and future pandemics, or further life-threatening health situations of similar characteristics. Limitations, practical implications, and future directions for research are discussed.
- ItemWhat makes a difficult patient so difficult? Examining the therapist's experience beyond patient characteristics(2019) Fischer Perlman, Candice; Cottin, Marianne; Behn Berliner, Alex Joseph; Errazuriz Arellano, Paula; Díaz, RubénThe primary aim of this study is to improve our understanding of therapists' experience of a "difficult patient" and consider the different variables involved in this label. What makes a patient be perceived as difficult by a therapist in public health services? Results of our analysis of 10 qualitative semistructured interviews of therapists working in public health service in Chile indicated that therapists' perceptions of a "difficult patient" depend on variables that go beyond the patient's intrinsic characteristics, including patients' negative attitude toward the therapist and treating team, patients' negative effects on therapists, and a difficult treatment context (e.g., work overload, scarce resources, limited number, and frequency of sessions). We illustrate the interaction of these dimensions and focus on the impact of the treating context on therapists' experience of a "difficult patient" through the case of a therapist working with a patient with complex depression in the public health system of Chile.
