Our new systematic review & meta-analysis of trauma-focused psychological interventions (TFIs) for psychosis.
36 studies (N=1,384), 18 in meta-analysis (N=806), spanning pre–post designs and RCTs, tested effects on hallucinations vs delusions. #thread

Are CBT and BA for depression effective in primary care? Guess what the main findings of a just published MA are...no difference when compared to other therapies; no evidence of effectiveness of self-help CBT for depression in primary care; most studies are of low quality!
Exciting new PhD project in collaboration with Profs Keith Laws & Iosif Mporas! 🔬 Investigating voice patterns & AI for mental health conditions. Background in Psychology/Psychiatry or Computer Science? Apply here: herts.ac.uk/research/centres…

Thank you for all the support throughout the years @Keith_Laws! Once again...I couldn't have asked for a better supervisory team W/ Prof Tim Gale, Dr Karen Irvine, and @_ShivaniSharma. Also many thanks and respect to my examiners Prof Lia Kvavilashvili and @docbloomfield
Congratulations @diamantis22 ... today known as Dr Diamantis.
Three years of studying the links between early-life trauma and schizotypal traits in healthy individuals ...passed quickly (for me at least...a joy to supervise!)
Study claims that "ayahuasca may show potential as an intervention for suicidality" without testing suicidal people - beyond the non-sig result that "trended toward significance". frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
"this study is the first
comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the
incidence of non-organic adult-onset psychotic disorders
done in 16 years and provides an update on the
epidemiological landscape" @Hannah_ElisaJ et al 2019 thelancet.com/journals/lanpu…
Excellent critique by @sameerjauhar & @J_F_Hayes - I wish I was so thorough in my work. Really important to consider those who struggle with meds adherence when making claims against psych meds. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

If your New Year’s resolution is to be a better, sharper scientist, can I recommend u start by following @Keith_Laws.
His tweets are object lessons in critical thinking for mental health sciences.

The debate starts! We're told this is the first time in 57 @MaudsleyDebates that a topic has been repeated. ECT was debated in the first #MaudsleyDebates in March 2000. You can watch the livestream, although it looks like it's not started there yet: youtu.be/e-d-wmk26bQ.
