Spent an entire weekend learning about CBASP for chronic depression. Interesting therapy approach!

Loved connecting with so many great people at #EACLIPT2025 and getting to share some of our research on suicidal thoughts and behavior theories.

Amazing! Would love to be added - thank you!😊

Excited to present some of my PhD work at the RANZCP Congress in Queensland, Australia!🇦🇺🦘🌏

4️⃣💡 The occurrence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors is best predicted using constructs from several different theories of suicide. Future theoretical and empirical work should integrate these components. Many thanks to my collaborators Brian O'Shea and Matt Nock!

3️⃣ Key Findings

🔹 Lack of belonging → most predictive of suicidal ideation

🔹 Fearlessness of death → strongest predictor of suicide planning

🔹 Hopelessness → most predictive of suicide attempts

🔹 Explicit identification with death → predicted all three

2️⃣ Our study:

🧑‍⚕️ 1,412 patients admitted to the emergency department with psychiatric complaints

📊 Follow-ups at 1 & 6 months

⏩ Outcomes: Suicidal ideation, suicide plan, and attempt

⚡ Network outcome analysis to disentangle the effects of these constructs

1️⃣ Different theories of suicide emphasize distinct risk factors:

* Beck’s model → hopelessness

* Interpersonal theory → burdensomeness, lack of belonging & acquired capability for suicide

* Other theories → entrapment, defeat, and various other cognitions.

🔍 What psychological factors predict suicidal thoughts & behaviors? Different theories of suicide provide somewhat different answers - but which factors matter most? 🧵

Loving the process of learning DBT in my clinical work—especially when it gives me a great excuse to try sour candy on a daily basis!

Check out this important methodological validation study of SEM fit indices for (confirmatory) network modeling. Led by @xinkaidu.bsky.social!

4/ This work emphasizes the need to consider social influences in the development of future theories, models, and interventions aimed at addressing problematic alcohol consumption.

3/ We found that drinking behavior was significantly influenced by individuals’ social environment, specifically the % of social ties that are abstaining or drink heavily. This influence was observed for both increases and reductions in alcohol use.

2/ Using longitudinal data from the Framingham Heart Study, we estimated panel graphical VAR models to examine temporal relations between drinking behavior, cigarette use, and individuals‘ social connections across a 10-year period.

1/ Excited to share our latest article on the dynamics of drinking behavior and their interaction with social environment, led by Maarten van der Ende and published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research! 🧵
