Jumping to conclusions: Implications for reasoning errors, false belief, knowledge corruption, and impeded learning.

In schizophrenia research, patients who "jump to conclusions" in probabilistic reasoning tasks tend to display impaired decision-making and delusional belief. In five studies, we examined whether jumping to conclusions (JTC) was similarly associated with decision impairments in a nonclinical sample, such as reasoning errors, false belief, overconfidence, and diminished learning. In Studies 1a and 1b, JTC was associated with errors stimulated by automatic reasoning, oddball beliefs such as conspiracy theories, and overconfidence. We traced these deficits to an absence of controlled processing rather than to an undue impact of automatic thinking, while ruling out roles for plausible alternative individual differences. In Studies 2 and 3, JTC was associated with higher confidence despite diminished performance in a novel probabilistic learning task (i.e., diagnosing illnesses), in part because those who exhibited JTC behavior were prone to overly exuberant theorizing, with no or little data, about how to approach the task early on. In Study 4, we adapted intervention materials used in schizophrenia treatment to train participants to avoid JCT. The intervention quelled overconfidence in the probabilistic learning task. In summary, this research suggests that a fruitful crosstalk may exist between research on psychopathology and work on social cognition within the general public.

Intervenções em plantão psicológico humanista-fenomenológico: pesquisa em serviço-escola / Conductas terapéuticas en guardia psicológica humanista-fenomenológico: investigación en escuela clínica / Interventions in humanistic-phenomenological psychological duty: research in school-clinics

RESUMO O plantão psicológico é uma modalidade de atenção clínica em psicologia que disponibiliza atendimentos imediatos sem restrição de demanda. Ainda, o trabalho especializado oferecido pelo psicólogo consegue identificar os recursos pessoais do cliente para lidar com sua demanda e promover sua saúde sem necessidade de assistência intensiva. Para os demais casos, encaminhamentos e orientações permitem acionar outros serviços apropriados. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar e compreender as intervenções empregadas por um plantonista. A partir de análise de conteúdo de registros documentais de seis casos atendidos na modalidade de plantão psicológico realizado em uma clínica-escola e utilizando as matrizes teóricas da psicologia humanista-fenomenológica, foram identificadas e discutidas três unidades significativas a respeito das intervenções empregadas, nomeadas de reflexão, cuidado e explicação. Foi possível, então, relacionar as intervenções a uma facilitação de processo terapêutico e de ajuda ao cliente, encaminhando-o para um posicionamento mais pessoal e consciente. Houve a configuração de um ambiente de empatia e de aceitação incondicional em que os afetos puderam ser recebidos pelo plantonista com uma postura coerente e sensível. Somado a isso, foi possível desenvolver uma relação de aproximação entre o cliente e suas experiências, favorecendo ressignificações e maior consciência sobre seus modos de estar no mundo, logo uma condição mais autônoma e autêntica de existência. Por fim, algumas contribuições foram apresentadas e alguns temas centrais problematizados para dar corpo e movimento às pesquisas acerca do plantão psicológico.

RESUMEN La guardia psicológica es una modalidad de atención clínica en psicología que ofrece atendimientos inmediatos sin restricción de demanda. Además, el trabajo especializado ofrecido por el psicólogo logra identificar los recursos personales del cliente para lidiar con su demanda y promover su salud sin necesidad de asistencia intensiva. Para los demás casos, las remisiones y las orientaciones permiten accionar otros servicios apropiados. En esta investigación se tuvo como objetivo identificar y entender las intervenciones empleadas por un psicólogo de guardia. A partir de análisis de contenido de registros documentales de seis casos atendidos en la modalidad de guardia psicológica realizado en una escuela clínica y utilizando el enfoque de la psicología humanista-fenomenológica, fueron identificadas y discutidas tres unidades significativas respecto de las intervenciones empleadas, denominadas de reflexión, cuidado y explicación. Es posible, entonces, relacionar las conductas a una facilitación de proceso terapéutico y de ayuda al cliente, encaminándolo hacia un posicionamiento más personal y consciente. Hubo la configuración de un ambiente de empatía y de consideración positiva incondicional en que los afectos pudieron ser recibidos por el psicólogo de guardia con una postura coherente y sensible. Al sumado a ello, fue posible desarrollar una relación de acercamiento entre el cliente y sus experiencias, favoreciendo resignificaciones y mayor conciencia sobre sus modos del estar en el mundo, luego una condición más autómata y auténtica de existencia. Por último, algunas contribuciones fueron presentadas y algunos temas centrales problematizados para dar cuerpo y movimiento a las investigaciones acerca de la guardia psicológica.

ABSTRACT Psychological duty is a modality of clinical attention in psychology that makes available immediate appointments without restriction of requests. In addition, the specialized work offered by the psychologist is able to identify the personal resources of the client in order to deal with their request, and to promote their health without the need for intensive care. For the balance of the other cases, referral reports and guidance enable the activation of other appropriate services. This work aimed to identify and to understand the interventions employed by a psychologist on duty. Starting from the content cnalysis of records of six cases attended by the psychological duty schedule performed in a school-clinic, and by the use of the humanistic-phenomenological approach in psychology, three categories were identified and discussed regarding the interventions employed, namely reflections, care, and explanation. Thus, it was possible to relate the actions to a facilitator of the therapeutic process and help the attended person, leading them to a more personal and aware position. There is a setting of an empathic environment, and of unconditional positive regard in which the affections could be received by the psychologist on duty from a coherent and sensible posture. Added to this, it was possible to develop a proximity relationship between the attended person and their life experiences, favoring resignifications and a greater awareness of their ways of being in the world, so, a more autonomous and authentic condition of existence. Finally, some contributions were presented, and some core topics problematised in order to embody and give movement to the research about the psychological duty.

Psicoterapias y pseudoterapias en búsqueda de la evidencia científica. La ciencia y la práctica profesional en Psicología Clínica / Psychotherapies and pseudo-therapies in search of scientific evidence. Science and professional practice in Clinical Psychology

La psicología está considerada una disciplina científica, pero algunas de sus especialidades, como la psicología clínica, tienen importantes dificultades para aplicar el método científico y trasladar los resultados de la investigación experimental al contexto profesional. Esta situación es especialmente problemática cuando multitud de teorías hacen que proliferen numerosos tratamientos psicológicos y que se sustente la idea (¿equivocada?) de que todos funcionan. El enfrentamiento entre posicionamientos basados en los aspectos comunes de las psicoterapias, en confrontación con los centrados en las técnicas, ha facilitado el camino y la expansión de pseudoterapias y la confusión de la población en general. Todo esto ocurre dentro de un contexto en el que ya existía un importante desencuentro entre la ciencia y la práctica clínica que afecta a muchos ámbitos profesionales de la psicología. El debate sobre los tratamientos y la asunción de que todos son eficaces permite mantener una actitud permisiva ante el uso de cualquier tratamiento, a veces avalados por algunas universidades, colegios profesionales y sociedades científico-profesionales, sin establecer restricciones a la difusión de propuestas pseudocientíficas, que no han sido sometidas a contraste empírico. En este trabajo presentamos un análisis del estado actual del tema y debatimos algunos de los aspectos más importantes

Psychology is considered to be a scientific discipline, but some of its specialties, such as clinical psychology, have significant difficulties in applying the scientific method, and in transferring the results of experimental research into the professional context. This situation is especially problematic when a multitude of theories fosters the proliferation of numerous treatments, as well as the (erroneous?) idea that all of them work. The confrontation between stances based on the common aspects of psychotherapies and those focused on techniques has opened up a path for pseudo-therapies and their expansion, along with the confusion of the general population. This situation takes place within a context in which there was already significant disagreement between science and clinical practice that impacts many professional areas within psychology. The debate about the efficacy and the assumption that all treatments are effective enables the maintaining of a permissive attitude towards the use of any treatment, sometimes even supported by some universities, professional associations, and scientific-professional societies, without restraints on the dissemination of pseudoscientific proposals that have not yet been empirically tested. This work analyzes the current state and discusses some of its most important aspects

Evolutionary and genetic insights for clinical psychology.

Recent advances in genetics, and new applications of evolutionary biology, are transforming psychology and psychiatry. The purpose of this article is to review and synthesize the progress in these two areas that is most salient to the practice of clinical psychology. First, I describe how the results of genome-wide studies have elucidated the genetic architectures of psychiatric disorders. These genetic results can be applied to generate polygenic risk scores, identify rare causal mutations, evaluate gene by environment interactions, and help determine the specific causes of psychiatric disorders for each individual, all of which can help to guide therapies and treatments. Second, I explain how evolutionary theory, applied to human development, the human psyche, and mental disorders, leads to novel insights relevant to therapy. Evolutionary thinking for psychiatry and psychology is consilient with contemporary schools of thought in clinical psychology, but also provides novel, non-intuitive, and clinically-useful insights. Effects of the genome in development, and functioning of the adult psyche, are both usefully conceived as dynamical, non-linear systems, regulated by feedbacks, that can become disordered in predictable yet individualistic ways. The merging of genetic, neurological, psychological, and evolutionary approaches is set to transform clinical psychology and psychiatry, but requires increased emphasis on cross-disciplinary thinking and research.

Accounting for Confounding in Observational Studies.

The goal of this review is to enable clinical psychology researchers to more rigorously test competing hypotheses when studying risk factors in observational studies. We argue that there is a critical need for researchers to leverage recent advances in epidemiology/biostatistics related to causal inference and to use innovative approaches to address a key limitation of observational research: the need to account for confounding. We first review theoretical issues related to the study of causation, how causal diagrams can facilitate the identification and testing of competing hypotheses, and the current limitations of observational research in the field. We then describe two broad approaches that help account for confounding: analytic approaches that account for measured traits and designs that account for unmeasured factors. We provide descriptions of several such approaches and highlight their strengths and limitations, particularly as they relate to the etiology and treatment of behavioral health problems.

Cómo construir un psicólogo-chatbot / How to create a psychologist-chatbot

El desarrollo de agentes conversacionales o chatbots se ha visto incrementado en las últimas décadas, especialmente en el sector comercial. No obstante, si bien el primer bot conversacional de la historia presentaba una apariencia de psicoterapeuta, son pocos los agentes virtuales con este tipo de funciones construidos hasta la fecha. En el presente trabajo, exponemos las bases para diseñar un chatbot psicólogo, concretamente, un bot con funciones de evaluación psicológica. Para ello, revisamos las herramientas disponibles para diseñarlo y configurarlo, y los conceptos básicos para su construcción. Asimismo, proponemos una serie de objetivos de evaluación que habrían de guiar el diálogo del agente conversacional. Finalmente, exponemos una reflexión acerca de las ventajas e inconvenientes de los chatbots y sobre las líneas de actuación que serían necesarias para desarrollarlos con garantías científicas

In recent decades, the development of conversational agents or chatbots has increased, especially in the commercial sector. Although the first chatbot in computational history was presented as a psychotherapist, few virtual agents with this type of function have been built since then. In the present article we describe the fundamental aspects of designing a psychologist-chatbot and,more specifically, a bot with psychological assessment functions. We review the available tools and the basic concepts for its construction. We also propose a series of assessment objectives that would guide the conversational agent's dialogue. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of chatbots and the scientific guarantees that they need to fulfill

Role of clinical psychology in UK hospices.

OBJECTIVE: The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) (2004) guidance recommends a tiered approach to psychological care within cancer care. This includes the provision of Clinical Psychologists to support other professionals to deliver high-quality psychological care at levels 1 and 2 and to provide direct input to patients experiencing high levels of distress at level 4. However, little is known about the role of Clinical Psychology within UK Hospices currently. A survey of Clinical Psychologists working in this area was undertaken to address this gap in knowledge. METHODS: We conducted an anonymous online survey of Clinical Psychologists working in Hospice organisations across the UK. Recruitment was completed via professional networking groups, social media and by contacting UK Hospice organisations. The survey included quantitative and qualitative items about professionals' experience, how their input is organised, their roles and activities and their views on the valuable and challenging aspects of working in this setting. RESULTS: Eighteen Clinical Psychologists responded and there was considerable variance in how their roles were organised. The tasks undertaken by most respondents were direct work with and consultation for hospice patients, and teaching and training staff. However, the findings demonstrated that Clinical Psychologists can undertake a wide range of tasks and draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy, in their hospice work. CONCLUSION: Our results provide an overview of the role of Clinical Psychology in UK Hospices and demonstrate the contribution that Psychologists can make to this field.

Clinical psychologists' use of transformative models of psychosis.

Some theories (e.g. Jackson's Paradigm Shifting Hypothesis) and many personal accounts suggest that some psychotic crises, whilst distressing, can also be transformative, leading to growth and valued outcomes. However, little is known about the extent to which this idea informs mainstream mental health care. Clinical psychologists are influential advocates of psychosocial approaches more broadly: This study explored their use of transformative models. Twelve U.K. clinical psychologists were interviewed: Transcripts informed a grounded theory. No participants saw psychosis as a purely biological problem where the content of experiences is irrelevant. Two held a "biopsychosocial" model, viewing psychosis as an illness with psychosocial elements. Most either held a continuum view (i.e., schizotypy), in which psychosis proneness was also associated with positive attributes such as creativity or sensitivity, or a "fully psychological" view, seeing experiences as meaningful and/or as adaptive responses to events. Many believed that psychosis can be transformative in a broad sense, that is, lead to "post-traumatic growth." Some went further, believing that it can be a purposeful (e.g., an attempt, albeit painful and sometimes unsuccessful, to solve problems) or even a spiritual phenomenon. Participants' perspectives influenced their therapeutic approach: Those who saw experiences as purposeful were more likely to facilitate direct engagement with them and to support clients to explore potentially transformative aspects. However, this represented an extension of conventional approaches rather than being qualitatively different. More research is needed to clarify how widespread this approach is, to explore its utility, and to establish for whom and when it may be appropriate.

Review of "Common Factors," Personal Reflections, and Introduction of the Shaving Brush Model of Integrated Psychotherapies.

This column reviews and updates "common factors" in psychotherapy, as originally described by Saul Rosenzweig in 1936. The author, a psychiatrist who has used multiple modalities of psychotherapeutic treatment over 4 decades, shares personal reflections concerning these "common factors" and introduces a model of integrated psychotherapies named for his grandfather's shaving brush.

Introduction to the special section on increasing replicability, transparency, and openness in clinical psychology.

As psychological research comes under increasing fire for the crisis of replicability, attention has turned to methods and practices that facilitate (or hinder) a more replicable and veridical body of empirical evidence. These trends have focused on open science initiatives, including an emphasis on replication, transparency, and data sharing. Despite this broader movement in psychology, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists have been largely absent from the broader conversation on documenting the extent of existing problems as well as generating solutions to problematic methods and practices in our area (Tackett et al., 2017). The goal of the current special section was to bring together psychopathology researchers to explore these and related areas as they pertain to the types of research conducted in clinical psychology and allied disciplines.

Using implementation science to close the gap between the optimal and typical practice of quantitative methods in clinical science.

Quantitative methods remain the fundamental approach for hypothesis testing, but in approaches to data analysis there is substantial evidence of a gap between what is optimal and what is typical. It is clear that diffusion and dissemination alone are not maximally effective at improving data analytic practices in clinical psychological science. Amid declines in quantitative psychology training, and growing demand for advanced quantitative methods, applied researchers are increasingly called upon to conduct and evaluate research using methods in which they lack expertise. This "research-to-practice" gap in which rigorously developed and empirically supported quantitative methods are not applied in practice has received little attention. In this article, we describe how implementation science, which aims to reduce the research-to-practice gap in health care, offers a promising set of methods for closing the gap for quantitative methods. By identifying determinants of practice (i.e., barriers and facilitators of change), implementation strategies can be selected to increase adoption and high-fidelity application of new quantitative methods to improve scientific inferences and policy and practice decisions in clinical psychological science.

Pericia, efectos del terapeuta y práctica deliberada: El ciclo de la excelencia / Expertise, therapist effects and deliberate practice: The cycle of excellence

La Práctica (Clínica) Basada en la Evidencia se define como la integración de la mejor investigación disponible con la pericia clínica y las características, preferencias y cultura del paciente. Del mismo modo, la variable terapeuta empieza a mostrar su influencia decisi-va en el resultado de los tratamientos psicológicos. En este trabajo se pone el énfasis en la figura del terapeuta en el contexto del pro-grama de formación PIR de especialistas en Psicología Clínica de nuestro Sistema Nacional de Salud. Se revisan los constructos pericia, efectos del terapeuta y se presenta la Práctica Deliberada como un sistema de entrenamiento que puede ayudar a mejorar los resultados de los clínicos y sus tratamientos. Se realizan recomendaciones concretas para mejorar el modelo de supervisión durante la residencia PIR y se discuten algunas de las implicaciones y limitaciones del estado actual de la cuestión

Evidence-based (clinical) practice is the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture and preferences. Similarly, the therapist factor is beginning to show its decisive influence on the outcome of psychological treatments. This paper emphasizes the therapist factor in the context of the PIR training program of Clinical Psychology specialists within our National Health System. Expertise and therapist effects are reviewed and deliberate practice is presented as a training system that can help clinical psychologists to improve their outcomes and treatments. Specific recommendations are made to improve the supervision model during PIR training and the implications and limitations of the topic are discussed

The Utility of Event-Related Potentials in Clinical Psychology.

Event-related potentials (ERPs) are direct measures of brain activity that can be leveraged for clinically meaningful research. They can relate robustly both to continuous measures of individual difference and to categorical diagnoses in ways that clarify similarities and distinctions between apparently related disorders and traits. ERPs can be linked to genetic risk, can act as moderators of developmental trajectories and responses to stress, and can be leveraged to identify those at greater risk for psychopathology, especially when used in combination with other neural and self-report measures. ERPs can inform models of the development of, and risk for, psychopathology. Finally, ERPs can be used as targets for existing and novel interventions and prevention efforts. We provide concrete examples for each of these possibilities by focusing on programmatic research on the error-related negativity and anxiety, and thus show that ERPs are poised to make greater contributions toward the identification, prediction, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders.

Leveraging the Open Science Framework in clinical psychological assessment research.

The last decade has seen enormous advances in research transparency in psychology. One of these advances has been the creation of a common interface for openness across the sciences-the Open Science Framework (OSF). While social, personality, and cognitive psychologists have been at the fore in participating in open practices on the OSF, clinical psychology has trailed behind. In this article, we discuss the advantages and special considerations for clinical assessment researchers' participation in open science broadly, and specifically in using the OSF for these purposes. We use several studies from our lab to illustrate the uses of the OSF for psychological studies, as well as the process of implementing this tool in assessment research. Among these studies are an archival assessment study, a project using an extensive unpublished assessment battery, and one in which we developed a short-form assessment instrument.
