Optimizing Psychotherapy Treatment Outcomes for Eating Disorders – Bridging the Gap Between the Therapists’ Office and Daily life

Saturday May 24, 2025 11:45 AM - 12:35 PM ET (15:45 - 16:35 UTC)

Subject Area: Clinical Science

Abstract

Well-executed evidence-based treatments significantly improve the quality and safety of care. Treatment guidelines are available for nearly every disorder, including eating disorders. However, not all patients benefits (sufficiently). I will reflect on this issue and will discuss my research lines aimed at optimizing treatment outcomes of psychotherapy for eating disorders.

Cada Problema Tiene Su Remedio: Exploring Latinx Caregivers’ Etiological Beliefs About Youth Mental Health Problems and Related Support Service Use

Saturday May 24, 2025 2:30 PM - 3:20 PM ET (18:30 - 19:20 UTC)

Subject Area: Clinical Science

Abstract

This presentation explores Latinx caregivers’ beliefs about the causes of youth internalizing/externalizing problems and related use of mental health supports. Findings highlight how caregiver beliefs shape help-seeking pathways and underscore the need for culturally responsive adaptations to youth psychological interventions to align them with family interpretations of mental health problems.

Let's Be Discrete: The Utility of Episodic and Categorical Perspectives

Saturday May 24, 2025 3:30 PM - 4:20 PM ET (19:30 - 20:20 UTC)

Subject Area: Clinical Science

Abstract

This talk establishes sets of sufficient conditions as target outcomes in psychological science. Using examples from an emotion regulation study, I will demonstrate how structured EMA can be paired with set-theoretic analyses to capture sequential processes and identify which sequences are sufficient for generating distress versus sufficient for preventing distress.
