Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) does have an effect on overall symptoms of BPD. But individuals with BPD often suffer from interpersonal difficulties and these can severely affect daily functioning.

New paper on planned missingness. Recently been liking the approach of planned missingness in a survey -> FIML to estimate constructs.

I am 100% sure that you did so. And yes, same pattern in other healthcare settings as well. Yet, if providers are MDs, it’s less likely that financial cuts will be the preferred policy solution.

But to be perfectly clear: excellent study and we, the German psychotherapy providers, should take this very seriously.

This is a disheartening finding to my profession. We need better allocation/matching, yet I assume that such a finding will be actively misinterpreted by policy makers to further restrict access (no need to maintain current # of licenses) & to reduce reimbursement (they only treat worried well).

Throwback to when they redrew the forest plots in one of my first publications. They also “rearranged” the adjacent score and CI values across studies and decimals.

Thrilled to announce the Oxford Psychological Networks Summer School (OxPNS)!

This is the first-ever psychological network analysis workshop in the UK, to be held in magical Oxford from June 22-26, 2026.

A brief thread 🧵

Confusion in gaming disorder measurement Abstract. Measurement is important for the scientific programmes of addictive behaviours. In the present study, we investigated the measurement of gaming d

First post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

RegCheck RegCheck is an AI tool to compare preregistrations with papers instantly.

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding.

RegCheck was built to help make this process easier.

Today, we launch RegCheck V2.

Natürlich vorausgesetzt, dass bisher alles richtig ist.

Damit muss aber die eins im Untersten rechten Quadranten in die Unterste Zeile links rein, oder? Weil im oberen und mittleren Quadranten 4,9 jeweils rein muss, oder?

Genau, die darf da nicht rein. Der Merkeintrag stimmt nicht.

Oberster rechter Quadrant, dritte Zeile links (unter 7 und 5). Da kann keine 1 rein, siehe unterster Quadrant rechts, oder?

I dont think that this would be possible. However, WHO defined that each Country should have a national registry. Which one is the one for Norway? Maybe you can use that?

Drks.de might become interesting again for German researchers (its interface is less intuitive compared to clinicaltrials.gov).

🌟📝 Just out in World Psychiatry:

Our new piece demonstrates the added value of dynamic symptom networks for predicting treatment outcomes beyond baseline severity & common covariates, with an added explained variance of 9-22% at post-treatment & follow-up.

New preregistered preprint by @emkbridger.bsky.social (w J Maltby, @danielnettle.bsky.social & @larsklintwall.bsky.social). We queried a UK-representative lay sample to rated perceived causal influence between 20 biopsychosocial causes linked to mental health & poverty.

Sollten wir auf jeden Fall machen! Und voll schade!

Measuring Negative Thought Spirals in Real Time 🧠📱
In two studies, we used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) via smartphones to track repetitive negative thinking in real time.

We just preprinted a huge meta-meta-analysis examining the effects of exercise on cognition, memory, and executive function

In short
- 2239 effect sizes
- extreme between-study heterogeneity
- extensive publication bias
- some subgroup/exercise-specific effects

Very well deserved! Congratulations!

Interessant jetzt auch, ob das ein Gender- oder ein Disziplineneffekt ist. Vermutlich eine Interaktion. 😉
