Coverage by @Mental_Elf of our recent meta-analysis looking at trauma-focused psychological interventions for psychosis. Take home - TFIs reliably reduce delusions but not hallucinations @diamantis22
nationalelfservice.net/menta…
Our new multilevel meta-analysis of 49 studies (N=21,755) shows that interoception & depression are reliably associated. Depression is most strongly associated with problems in: Trusting our body, Self-regulation, and Not worrying about bodily sensations

We are conducting a study on experiences that may feel paranormal or difficult to explain within current scientific understanding.

What predicted better outcomes?
Meta-regression (pre–post data only) showed larger delusion effects in younger samples.
No effects of therapy length, exposure vs non-exposure, gender distribution, or study quality.
As academics, reviewing papers is typically viewed as one part of what we do (in this case, gratis apparently or quid pro quo)...but 27 review requests in 2 years from the same (mainstream) journal - where I have never even published a paper - does seem a little excessive
Single-dose (10 mg) psilocybin reduces symptoms in adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder: A pharmacological challenge study

New study involving several of my OCD research colleagues
Psilocybin’s effect seen on compulsions, and not on obsessions
Found myself listening to Rattus Norvegicus this week (first time in years) and then by synchronicity...I was just reminded that this is where I was on this very evening in 1977 (in the strident anti-punk ethos of that time, I also remember being attacked on my way home)

3 months post-treatment, improvements in quality of life mood/depression, anxiety and sleep. Didn't assess OCD symptoms
Such sad news, but what a legacy & so pleased that I got to see Brian Wilson play the whole of Pet Sounds at the London Palladium.
"God Only Knows" is of course a piece of transcendent pop & whenever it appears at the end of 'Boogie Nights', it is guaranteed to make me tearful
