the responsible consumer in the digital age on the conceptual shift from average to responsible consumer and the inadequacy of the information paradigm in consumer financial protection
Tilburg law review, 2019Co-Authors: Catalin Gabriel StanescuAbstract:The article 1 argues that the ‘information paradigm’, within which the concept of ‘average’ consumer operates, is unfit to provide adequate financial protection to consumers in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and in the wake of the digital age. As the complexity of financial and digital financial services increases, consumers are expected to educate themselves and become financially literate, while traders’ liability and state intervention are reduced to a minimum. ‘Average’ consumers are turned into ‘responsible’ ones. Using as examples the Mortgage Directive and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)’s position on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), the article shows that the former ‘paternalistic’ attitude towards consumer protection in both EU legislation and policy making was replaced with a ‘Self-Help’ Approach and contests the general wisdom regarding consumers’ ability to participate in financial markets or understand the risks posed by novel products and services facilitated by technical innovation and digitization. The article calls for a reconsideration of the information paradigm and for a pro-active Approach of the EU regulatory bodies to provide consumers with efficient protection.

the effect for japanese workers of a self help computerized cognitive behaviour therapy program with a supplement soft drink
Biopsychosocial Medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Kentaro Shirotsuki, Yuji Nonaka, Keiichi Abe, So Ichiro Adachi, Shohei Adachi, Tomifusa Kuboki, Mutsuhiro NakaoAbstract:Computerized cognitive behaviour therapy (CCBT) programs can provide a useful Self-Help Approach to the treatment of psychological problems. Previous studies have shown that CCBT has moderate effects on depression, insomnia, and anxiety. The present study investigated whether a supplement drink that includes L-carnosine enhances the effect of CCBT on psychological well-being. Eighty-seven participants were randomly allocated to a control group, CCBT, or CCBT with supplement drink. The CCBT and CCBT with supplement drink groups received six weekly Self-Help CCBT program instalments, which consisted of psycho-education about stress management and coping, behaviour activation, and cognitive restructuring. The CCBT group consumed a bottle of the supplement soft drink every morning through the 6 weeks. This program was delivered by an e-learning system on demand and also included a Self-Help guidebook. Seventy-two participants completed the program or were assess at the end of the study. ANOVA revealed that there were significant interactions (times × groups) for POMS tension-anxiety and fatigue. The CCBT group showed significantly improved tension-anxiety scores, whereas the CCBT with drink group showed significant improvements on fatigue. The Self-Help CCBT program reduced the subjective experience of tension-anxiety in this group of workers. The addition of a supplement drink enhanced the effect of CCBT on fatigue, providing one possible Approach to enhancement of such programs. This study was registered on September 2, 2016 at UMIN.

a randomized controlled comparison of guided self help cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral weight loss for binge eating disorder
Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2005Co-Authors: Carlos M Grilo, Robin M MashebAbstract:We performed a randomized controlled study to test the relative efficacy of guided Self-Help (gsh) cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBTgsh) and behavioral weight loss treatment (BWLgsh) treatments for binge eating disorder (BED). To provide an additional partial control for non-specific influences of attention, a third control (CON) treatment condition was included. We tested the treatments using a guided Self-Help Approach given the promising results from initial studies using minimal therapist guidance. Ninety consecutive overweight patients (19 males, 71 females) with BED were randomly assigned (5:5:2 ratio) to one of three treatments: CBTgsh (N=37), BWLgsh (N=38), or CON (N=15). The three 12-week treatment conditions were administered individually following guided Self-Help protocols. Overall, 70 (78%) completed treatments; CBTgsh (87%) and CON (87%) had significantly higher completion rates than BWLgsh (67%). Intent-to-treat analyses revealed that CBTgsh had significantly higher remission rates (46%) than either BWLgsh (18%) or CON (13%). Weight loss was minimal and differed little across treatments. The findings suggest that CBT, administered via guided Self-Help, demonstrates efficacy for BED, but not for obesity. The findings support CBT administered via guided Self-Help as a first step in the treatment of BED and provide evidence for its specific effects.
