Treating complicated grief and posttraumatic stress in homicidally bereaved individuals: A randomized controlled trial
Homicidally bereaved individuals may experience symptoms of Complicated Grief (CG) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

We compared changes in symptoms of CG (assessed using the Inventory of Complicated Grief) and PTSD (assessed using the Impact of Event Scale) between an intervention group and a waitlist control group. The treatme...

Attachment and therapeutic alliance in psychological therapy for people with recent onset psychosis who use cannabis
We examine associations between client attachment style and therapeutic alliance in a 3‐arm randomized controlled trial of brief motivational interviewing and cognitive–behavioural therapy compared with longer term motivational interviewing and cognitive–behavioural therapy or standard care alone. Client self‐report measures of attachment style were completed at baseline, and both clients and therapists in the treatment arms of the trial completed alliance measures 1 month into therapy. We found that insecure–anxious attachment was positively associated with therapist‐rated alliance, whereas clients with insec...

Development and evaluation of the Expressions of Moral Injury Scale —Military Version
There is consensus that military personnel can encounter a far more diverse set of challenges than researchers and clinicians have historically appreciated. Moral injury (MI) represents an emerging construct to capture behavioural, social, and spiritual suffering that may transcend and overlap with mental health diagnoses (e.g., post‐traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder). The Expressions of Moral Injury Scale—Military Version (EMIS‐M) was developed to provide a reliable and valid means for assessing the warning signs of a MI in military populations. Drawing on independent samples of veterans who ha...

Cognitive factors and post ‐partum depression: What is the influence of general personality traits, rumination, maternal self‐esteem, and alexithymia?
ConclusionsOur results suggest that alexithymia may be an important predictor of the incidence of this condition. The observation of differences in the PPD models as a function of the post‐partum period may open up opportunities for developing novel PPD prevention/treatment programs.
