Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

36.4K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Impact of Schemas01:30

Impact of Schemas

224
Schemas are cognitive structures that provide a framework for interpreting and organizing social information. They help individuals navigate complex environments by offering expectations about people, events, and behaviors. Schemas influence attention, encoding, and retrieval processes, thereby shaping the entire trajectory of information processing in social contexts.Attention and Cognitive LoadDuring initial attention, schemas function as filters that prioritize schema-consistent information,...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.6K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.7K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Eating disorders are challenging to treat, with limited success rates for standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
  • Schema Therapy is a promising alternative, particularly for individuals with co-occurring conditions and complex personality traits.
  • Preliminary findings from Group Schema Therapy for Eating Disorders (ST-E-g) suggest positive outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of group Schema Therapy for individuals with eating disorders in a larger sample (n=40).
  • To assess the impact of group Schema Therapy on eating disorder symptom severity and related psychological factors.

Main Methods:

  • Participants (n=40) undergo a comprehensive assessment, including the Eating Disorder Examination.
  • Treatment involves 25 weekly 1.5-hour group sessions and four individual sessions, facilitated by trained therapists.
  • Outcomes (eating disorder symptom severity, cognitive schemas, self-objectification, quality of life, self-compassion, schema modes, personality disorder features) are measured at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at 6-month and 1-year follow-ups.

Main Results:

  • This section is to be filled once the study is concluded and results are available.

Conclusions:

  • This study aims to build upon preliminary research, providing further evidence for the effectiveness of group Schema Therapy in treating eating disorders.
  • If successful, group Schema Therapy could offer a valuable new intervention for these difficult-to-treat conditions.
