reducing crime and violence experimental evidence from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in liberia
The American Economic Review, 2017Co-Authors: Christopher Blattman, Julian C Jamison, Margaret A SheridanAbstract:We show that a number of “nonCognitive” skills and preferences, including patience and identity, are malleable in adults, and that investments in them reduce crime and violence. We recruited criminally-engaged men and randomized half to eight weeks of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy designed to foster self-regulation, patience, and a noncriminal identity and lifestyle. We also randomized $200 grants. Cash alone and Therapy alone initially reduced crime and violence, but effects dissipated over time. When cash followed Therapy, crime and violence decreased dramatically for at least a year. We hypothesize that cash reinforced Therapy’s impacts by prolonging learning-by-doing, lifestyle changes, and self-investment.

The American Economic Review, 2017Co-Authors: Christopher Blattman, Julian C Jamison, Margaret A SheridanAbstract:Abstract We show that a number of nonCognitive skills and preferences, including patience and identity, are malleable in adults, and that investments in them reduce crime and violence. We recruited criminally engaged men and randomized one-half to eight weeks of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy designed to foster self-regulation, patience, and a noncriminal identity and lifestyle. We also randomized $200 grants. Cash alone and Therapy alone initially reduced crime and violence, but effects dissipated over time. When cash followed Therapy, crime and violence decreased dramatically for at least a year. We hypothesize that cash reinforced Therapy's impacts by prolonging learning-by-doing, lifestyle changes, and self-investment. (JEL D12, D83, H23, I32, K42, O15, O17)

positive imagery Cognitive bias modification cbm and internet based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy icbt a randomized controlled trial
Journal of Affective Disorders, 2015Co-Authors: Kathleen Omoore, Simon E Blackwell, Alishia D. Williams, Emily A Holmes, Jessica Smith, Gavin AndrewsAbstract:Background Accruing evidence suggests that positive imagery-based Cognitive bias modification (CBM) could have potential as a standalone targeted intervention for depressive symptoms or as an adjunct to existing treatments. We sought to establish the benefit of this form of CBM when delivered prior to Internet Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) for depression

effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia on suicidal ideation in veterans
Sleep, 2015Co-Authors: Gregory K Brown, Mickey Trockel, Bradley E Karlin, Barr C Taylor, Rachel ManberAbstract:Objective: To examine the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on suicidal ideation among Veterans with insomnia. Design: Longitudinal data collected in the course of an uncontrolled evaluation of a large-scale CBT-I training program. Setting: Outpatient and residential treatment facilities. Participants: Four hundred five Veterans presenting for treatment of insomnia. Interventions: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia. Measurement and Results: At baseline, 32% of patients, compared with 21% at final assessment, endorsed some level of suicidal ideation [χ 2 (df = 1) = 125; P < 0.001]. After adjusting for demographic variables and baseline insomnia severity, each 7-point decrease in Insomnia Severity Index score achieved during CBT-I treatment was associated with a 65% (odds ratio = 0.35; 95% confidence intervals = 0.24 to 0.52) reduction in odds of suicidal ideation. The effect of change in insomnia severity on change in depression severity was also significant. After controlling for change in depression severity and other variables in the model, the effect of change in insomnia severity on change in suicidal ideation remained significant. Conclusion: This evaluation of the largest dissemination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in the United States found a clinically meaningful reduction in suicidal ideation among Veterans receiving CBT-I. The mechanisms by which effective treatment of insomnia with CBT-I reduces suicide risk are unknown and warrant investigation. The current results may have significant public health implications for preventing suicide among Veterans.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for substance use disorders
Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 2010Co-Authors: Kathryn R Mchugh, Bridget A Hearon, Michael W OttoAbstract:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for substance use disorders has demonstrated efficacy as both a monoTherapy and as part of combination treatment strategies. This article provides a review of the evidence supporting the use of CBT, clinical elements of its application, novel treatment strategies for improving treatment response, and dissemination efforts. Although CBT for substance abuse is characterized by heterogeneous treatment elements—such as operant learning strategies, Cognitive and motivational elements, and skills building interventions—across protocols several core elements emerge that focus on overcoming the powerfully reinforcing effects of psychoactive substances. These elements, and support for their efficacy, are discussed.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy vs relaxation with educational support for medication treated adults with adhd and persistent symptoms a randomized controlled trial
JAMA, 2010Co-Authors: Steven A Safren, Michael W Otto, Susan Sprich, Matthew J Mimiaga, Craig B H Surman, Laura E Knouse, Meghan GrovesAbstract:Context Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adulthood is a prevalent, distressing, and impairing condition that is not fully treated by pharmacoTherapy alone and lacks evidence-based psychosocial treatments. Objective To test Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ADHD in adults treated with medication but who still have clinically significant symptoms. Design, Setting, and Patients Randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for 86 symptomatic adults with ADHD who were already being treated with medication. The study was conducted at a US hospital between November 2004 and June 2008 (follow-up was conducted through July 2009). Of the 86 patients randomized, 79 completed treatment and 70 completed the follow-up assessments. Interventions Patients were randomized to 12 individual sessions of either Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or relaxation with educational support (which is an attention-matched comparison). Main Outcome Measures The primary measures were ADHD symptoms rated by an assessor (ADHD rating scale and Clinical Global Impression scale) at baseline, posttreatment, and at 6- and 12-month follow-up. The assessor was blinded to treatment condition assignment. The secondary outcome measure was self-report of ADHD symptoms. Results Cognitive Behavioral Therapy achieved lower posttreatment scores on both the Clinical Global Impression scale (magnitude −0.0531; 95% confidence interval [CI], −1.01 to −0.05; P = .03) and the ADHD rating scale (magnitude −4.631; 95% CI, −8.30 to −0.963; P = .02) compared with relaxation with educational support. Throughout treatment, self-reported symptoms were also significantly more improved for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (β = −0.41; 95% CI, −0.64 to −0.17; P Conclusion Among adults with persistent ADHD symptoms treated with medication, the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy compared with relaxation with educational support resulted in improved ADHD symptoms, which were maintained at 12 months.
