What goes on inside rumour and non-rumour tweets and their reactions: A psycholinguistic analyses
2022, Computers in Human BehaviorA review of primary care interventions to improve health outcomes in adult survivors of adverse childhood experiences
2016, Clinical Psychology ReviewCitation Excerpt :Across three EW studies that met criteria for this review, somewhat inconsistent results were observed. One study demonstrated clear positive effects of EW (Meston et al., 2013), whereas another study indicated no effects of EW (Batten et al., 2002). A third study reported both negative (e.g., greater fatigue and avoidance) and positive (lower healthcare utilization) effects associated with EW (Greenberg et al., 1996).
Effects of expressive writing on sexual dysfunction, depression, and PTSD in women with a history of childhood sexual abuse: Results from a randomized clinical trial
2013, Journal of Sexual MedicineCitation Excerpt :Each of these findings is discussed separately below. In contrast to the findings of Batten et al. [47], we found that five sessions of writing for 30 minutes was associated with improvements in depression in adult survivors of CSA. There are several possible explanations for this contrast.
Cognitive behaviour therapy versus eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for post-traumatic disorder - Is it all in the homework then?
2012, Revue europeenne de psychologie appliqueeCitation Excerpt :Both Marks et al. (1998) and Richards et al. (1994) reported similar findings with respect to homework compliance and treatment outcomes. Furthermore in studies which have used CBT-based approaches with trauma populations and there have been no homework tasks, the experimental group reported more physical symptoms (Batten, Follette, Rasmussen Hall, & Palm, 2002), and more health care visits and avoidance symptoms than the control group at follow-up (Gidron, Peri, Connolly, & Shalev, 1996). It appears that homework is required in CBT-based approaches as consolidation is not completed in-session and requires extra self-guided tasks to promote habituation (Dozois, 2010).
Screening for posttraumatic stress disorder using verbal features in self narratives: A text mining approach
2012, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Despite significant advances in PTSD screening instruments, open questions regarding trauma history and physical symptoms are seldom utilized in the screening process. Although writing of self narratives has been commonly used as a treatment task to relieve the PTSD patients' stress (e.g., Batten et al., 2002; Orsillo et al., 2004) or as an approach to recalling memory for psycholinguistic studies (e.g., Foa et al., 1991; Brebion et al., 2011), little attention has been given to its benefits in the screening process. Over the past three decades, researchers have provided evidence to suggest that people's physical and mental health can be predicted by the words they use (Gottschalk and Gleser, 1969; Rosenberg and Tucker, 1979).
