  • Childhood maltreatment and the response to Cognitive Behavior therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome
    Journal of psychosomatic research, 2011
    Co-Authors: Marianne Heins, Hans Knoop, Jill Lobbestael, Gijs Bleijenberg
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective To examine the relationship between a history of childhood maltreatment and the treatment response to Cognitive Behavior therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Methods A cohort study in a tertiary care clinic with a referred sample of 216 adult patients meeting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for CFS, and starting Cognitive Behavior therapy. Main outcome measures changes between pre- and post therapy in fatigue (Checklist Individual Strength fatigue subscale), disabilities (Sickness Impact Profile total score), physical functioning (short form 36 health survey subscale) and psychological distress (Symptom checklist 90 total score). Results At baseline, patients with a history of childhood maltreatment had significantly more limitations and a higher level of psychological distress, but were not more severely fatigued. Change scores on the outcome measures after Cognitive Behavior therapy did not differ significantly between patients with or without a history of childhood maltreatment, or between the different types of childhood maltreatment. However, patients with a history of childhood maltreatment still experienced more limitations and a higher level of psychological distress after CBT. Conclusions A history of childhood maltreatment was not related to the treatment response of Cognitive Behavior therapy for CFS. In patients with a history of childhood maltreatment CFS symptoms can be treated with CBT just as well as those without.

  • effects of Cognitive Behavior therapy in severely fatigued disease free cancer patients compared with patients waiting for Cognitive Behavior therapy a randomized controlled trial
    Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Marieke F M Gielissen, Stans Verhagen, Fred Witjes, Gijs Bleijenberg
    Abstract:

    Purpose Persistent fatigue is a long-term adverse effect experienced by 30% to 40% of patients cured of cancer. The main objective of this randomized controlled trial was to show the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT) especially designed for fatigue in cancer survivors. Patients and Methods A total of 112 cancer survivors with somatically unexplained fatigue were allocated randomly to immediate Cognitive Behavior therapy or to a waiting list condition for therapy. Both conditions were assessed two times, at baseline and 6 months later. The primary outcome variables were fatigue severity (Checklist Individual Strength) and functional impairment (Sickness Impact Profile). Data were analyzed by intention to treat. Results Analyses were based on 50 patients in the intervention condition and 48 patients in the waiting list condition. Patients in the intervention condition reported a significantly greater decrease than patients in the waiting list condition in fatigue severity (difference, 13.3; ...

  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Schizophrenia
    The American journal of psychiatry, 2006
    Co-Authors: Douglas Turkington, David Kingdon, Peter J. Weiden
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: A growing body of evidence supports the use of Cognitive Behavior therapy for the treatment of schizophrenia. A course of Cognitive Behavior therapy, added to the antipsychotic regimen, is now considered to be an appropriate standard of care in the United Kingdom. The objective of this article is to offer a broad perspective on the subject of Cognitive Behavior therapy for schizophrenia for the American reader. METHOD: The authors summarize current practice and data supporting the use of Cognitive Behavior therapy for schizophrenia. RESULTS: Five aspects of Cognitive Behavior therapy for schizophrenia are addressed: 1) evidence from randomized clinical trials, 2) currently accepted core techniques, 3) similarities to and differences from other psychosocial interventions for schizophrenia, 4) differences between the United States and United Kingdom in implementation, and 5) current directions of research. CONCLUSIONS: The strength of the evidence supporting Cognitive Behavior therapy for schizop...

CONCLUSIONS: The strength of the evidence supporting Cognitive Behavior therapy for schizophrenia suggests that this technique should have more attention and support in the United States.
