Closing out #SPRDublin2023 @SPRtweets with our panel on mechanisms + adaptations of #ROM. Hint: different therapies require different dropout prediction models. Thanks to all who came along so late in the program!

And happy #DublinPride! 🏳️‍🌈

[Ashleigh Cameron @AshGCameron]

Excited to share that my first first-authored paper (w/ @A_page007 and Geoff Hooke) has been published in @SPRtweets! We demonstrate that simple models can predict therapy dropout based only on comorbidity. Read it here: https://t.co/aCid7dgD1y

@AshGCameron from @UWApsych presenting at #SPRDublin2023 about how dropput from therapy can be predicted - different models are needed for different therapies

Geoff Hooke introducing talk from @andrewathan at #SPRDublin2023 about the mechanisms of feedback

[Ashleigh Cameron @AshGCameron]

Stoked to be at #SPRDublin2023 (in the flesh! ☘️) presenting some new insights from my research in psychotherapy #dropout amongst some #ROM greats.

This new open-access paper helmed by @UWAPsych PhD candidate Jack Brett presents an improved way to assess restricted and repetitive behaviours (e.g., insisting on routines, arranging items in rows). Try it on your friends and family! https://t.co/WDMyItUo7C

How can we predict dropout early in therapy to maximise outcomes? @AshGCameron

Can machine learning approaches help?

[Ashleigh Cameron @AshGCameron]

Excited to have the opportunity to share some of my PhD research at #AACBT22 (@AACBT_org_au) in Naarm/Melbourne this week. Machine learning can help us identify patients at-risk of dropout in routine practice. I think it’s pretty cool!

@31polkadots @meltedslushy @bbflowa @jacasiegel @lelregi @IsabelOakeshott Here are the DSM criteria for BED. Note how nowhere is weight mentioned as a necessary criterion. Only the person’s subjective experience of distress. Many ‘overweight’ people are happy with their eating and many don’t even overeat.

[Ashleigh Cameron @AshGCameron]

@31polkadots @meltedslushy @bbflowa @jacasiegel @lelregi @IsabelOakeshott You’re conflating overeating with ‘binge eating disorder’. Overeating is not a psychological disorder. Bingeing is characterised by guilt, shame, feeling a loss of control (being obese isn’t even a criterion). Don’t pathologise normal behaviours to justify your fatphobia.

Nothing like chilling at the beach (w/ @SophiaMoore95) to unwind after an inspiring day at #AACBT21! Stoked to have been able to hear more about Australia’s world class research in the space of #CBTworks. Next on the agenda: hang out with virtual quokkas? 🏖🧠🍹

@KeKeDoUH8Me @defunctup @ZeldaTheChicken @jannareeves No, people bring that up to demonstrate that biological sex doesn’t support a binary

[Sophia Moore @SophiaMoore95]

I'm very excited to share my first publication with @UWA_CARE @LDondzilo @DRudaizky @UWApsych!
Contrary to popular belief, we found that overweight individuals demonstrate a greater tendency to approach healthy rather than unhealthy food. Read more here: https://t.co/tFO5gZdDuV

@SophiaMoore95 @UWA_CARE @LDondzilo @DRudaizky @UWApsych Huge congratulations @SophiaMoore95! Such an interesting study 🤩

Issues with Psychotherapy Research

It is 2021 and virtually none of following major issues have been largely addressed, which severely undermines the practical value of the research.
