Each episode, I'll be talking to a recently published author about their research, what was the motivation behind it and how they hope it will impact the world of CBT. Today I’m talking to Dr Kerry Young. Kerry is one of several authors on the paper How to Treat Someone Suffering with PTSD Following Rape in Adulthood published in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. Hi Kerry, welcome to the podcast. So, it's so nice of you to come on and talk to us today about this paper. I think most people will probably know who you are already, but for any listeners that don't, would you mind just introducing yourself and telling everyone a bit about you and the areas that you work in? Kerry: Yes, hi. So I'm Kerry Young. I'm a consultant clinical psychologist and I've worked in specialist trauma services. I worked it out just now for 28 years. I'm a bit tired. And at the moment I run a PTSD service for refugees and asylum seekers in West London near Paddington station. Steph: So, the paper we are talking about today is How to Treat Someone Suffering with PTSD Following Rape in Adulthood. That's the title of the paper and it does exactly what it says on the tin. So, I really wanted to get you onto the podcast to talk about it because it's such a comprehensive and helpful paper. Would you mind just talking a little bit about where the motivation to write this paper came from? How did it come about? Kerry: Yeah, so as I said, I've been working in trauma services since the late 1990s. And I think when you start out working in specialist trauma services, you really appreciate how treatable PTSD is. So we would be expecting, if we treat PTSD for someone really not to have any symptoms anymore. So it really is a wonderful thing to treat. And over the years, I've done more and more supervising in other services. And in fact, I've been part of the NHS England funded top up for NHS Talking Therapies to work with PTSD. And what I think all of our supervisors noticed doing this is that people are a bit sheepish about treating PTSD following sexual violence. There's lots of myths and there's lots of things that get in the way, but for good reasons, I think. But we were, all of us, I think, feeling really worried, not just in NHS Talking Therapies, but in other people we supervise that, you know, if someone has PTSD to rape or sexual violence, their chances of getting someone to treat it in an evidence-based way were quite variable, I think. And I just found that really upsetting really, because you'll hear all of these stories about people being raped, you know, maybe in their teens, in their twenties, and it changing the whole course of their life. And them going through the rest of their life really feeling to blame for what happened or feeling really bad about themselves. And this sort of one moment really kind of can change the course of someone's life and that's very particularly the case if they have PTSD. And so what I was noticing is that people are flashing back to being raped day in, day out, dreaming about it when they're asleep. And it’s reinforcing this, they're feeling really bad ...

  • Is it time for a more individual approach to adolescent eating disorder treatment – with Dr Daniel Wilson

    Is it time for a more individual approach to adolescent eating disorder treatment – with Dr Daniel Wilson
    Apr 16 2025
    In this episode of Let’s Talk about CBT- Research Matters, Steph speaks with Dr Daniel Wilson, a clinical psychologist and researcher based in Brisbane, Australia. Dan is the lead author of the paper “CBT-E following discontinued FBT for adolescents with eating disorders: time for a more individual approach?” published in The Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. Steph and Dan explore key findings from the study, which compared the effectiveness of CBT-E (enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy) for young people who had previously discontinued FBT (family-based treatment) versus those who had not tried FBT at all. The research offers important insights into treatment options for adolescents with eating disorders and highlights the value of providing alternative pathways to recovery.

Each episode, I'll be talking to a recently published author about their research, what was the motivation behind it and how they hope it will impact the world of CBT. In this episode, I’m talking to Dr Daniel Wilson. Dan is lead author on the paper CBT-E following discontinued FBT for adolescents with eating disorders: time for a more individual approach? Which was published in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. Hi Dan. Welcome to the podcast. Dan: Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. Steph: It's really exciting to have you on. Actually, you are our first guest from Australia. So would you like to tell the listeners a little bit about yourself, maybe where you work and your research areas? Dan: Yep. Sure. So I'm a clinical psychologist. I'm from Brisbane, Australia, and my work here in Brisbane, I do a little bit of a mix. So I am working at Children's Health Queensland at a specialist eating disorders clinic for our child and youth mental health service and I work clinically there as part of the CBT-E team. I'm on a research fellowship for the last two years and we're researching eating disorders generally and what factors contribute to treatment outcomes amongst adolescent eating disorders. And also do a little bit of work in private practice as well. Steph: Okay, brilliant, thank you. So I was really keen to get you on the podcast. It was Eating Disorders Awareness Week here in the UK a couple of weeks ago. And, as we just talked about off air, we also recorded a Practice Matters podcast with Rebecca Murphy, which you said you listened to as well for Eating Disorders Week, talking all about it. So I thought this would intersect really nicely with that. We don't actually get many eating disorders papers into the journal as well, so I thought it'd be really nice to showcase this one and talk about what you do. So could you tell us a little bit about how this paper came about? Was there any particular motivation for the research? Dan: Yeah, so I guess in part, it was on behalf of our young people, on behalf of the treatments that we offer as well. I think unfortunately still with all the evidence we've got with treatment with eating disorders, sometimes they can get a bit of a bad rap. Not so much within our service, but they can be perceived as people that are hard to treat, or the treatments don't work, or people don't recover, despite there being like really good evidence for outcomes. And so what in particular we noticed as well was with family-based treatment, it's a treatment that a lot of people have heard of. It's probably the most well studied treatment for adolescent eating disorders and when it's not going well or it hasn't completely worked, then that kind of perception that, oh, they're not going to recover, can be even worse. And sometimes when family-based treatment doesn't go well, it can not look too good. There can be a lot of distress, there can be a lot of like argumentativeness so that the perception- this is very much anecdotally- is well, if they haven't been able to recover with full family support, what hope is there? And that they're not suitable for an individual treatment. But within our service, what we noticed was that when we'd had sort of some young people that hadn't done quite so well with FBT and we gave them a chance for CBT-E, a good proportion of them did really well and engaged really well on the treatment. So we thought that was ...

  • Flashforward Mental Imagery in Adolescents with Dr. Alex Lau-Zhu

    Flashforward Mental Imagery in Adolescents with Dr. Alex Lau-Zhu
    Feb 18 2025
    In this episode of Research Matters, host Steph Curnow talks to Dr. Alex Lau-Zhu, lead author of the paper “Flashforward Mental Imagery in Adolescents: Exploring Developmental Differences and Associations with Mental Health,” published in Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy. Alex discusses his research into flashforward mental imagery—vivid mental pictures of future events that can be intrusive and emotionally powerful. We explore how these flashforwards relate to anxiety in adolescents, why mental imagery isn’t always a focus in CBT, and how young people may benefit from imagery-based interventions. Guest Bio: Dr. Alex Lau-Zhu is an MRC Clinician Scientist Fellow at the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology and a clinical psychologist supporting young people affected by trauma. His full list of publications and research areas can be found here: https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/people/alex-lau-zhu Links & Resources: Read the paper: “Flashforward Mental Imagery in Adolescents: Exploring Developmental Differences and Associations with Mental Health” - https://bit.ly/3Eysxd0 Explore more from Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy –https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioural-and-cognitive-psychotherapy Find our sister podcasts and all our other episodes in our podcast hub here: https://babcp.com/Podcasts Have feedback?

Each episode, I'll be talking to a recently published author about their research, what was the motivation behind it and how they hope it will impact the world of CBT. Today, I'm talking to Dr. Alex Lau-Zhu, Alex is lead author on the paper “Flash Forward Mental Imagery in Adolescence: Exploring Developmental Differences and Associations with Mental Health” which has been published in Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy. I really enjoyed this chat with Alex. We talked all about his paper, and we also talked about maybe why mental imagery isn't explored so much with adolescents, or even in CBT in general. It's a really interesting listen, so I hope you all enjoy. Hi Alex. Welcome to the podcast. Alex: Hi Steph, thank you for having me. Steph: You’re welcome. So, before we get into talking about your paper, would you mind introducing yourself to the listeners and telling us a little bit about who you are and the areas you work in? Alex: Yeah, of course. I'm currently an MRC clinician scientist fellow at the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, and I also work as a clinical psychologist in our local county in Oxfordshire, supporting young people who are affected by trauma. Steph: Thank you. So we're talking today about the paper that was published in the last issue of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, which is about flash forward mental imagery in adolescents. So could you tell us a bit about how this paper came about? Was there any particular motivation for the research? Alex: Yeah so I work with a lot of young people in my clinical work and often find that they sometimes struggle with expressing themselves, sometimes around identifying what goes on in their minds in particular, which is really a key part of doing CBT, for example. And speaking to other clinicians, also working with young people, it seems like actually sometimes they do find thinking on mental images perhaps a bit easier to thinking about, for example, using visual mediums or drawings to express how they feel and what they think, but sometimes it goes to be around talking about mental images that they experience inside their mind, just describing what is it that they see, what is it that they hear, as a way to then better understand some of those thinking processes or what we might call as distortions in CBT. And that led me to think kind of more broadly around how much do we know about these sorts of processes in young people. And actually, we know incredibly little. There's some really I think exciting work that has happened in the last 20 or 30 years in working with adults and doing CBT with adults around thinking about mental images, not just verbal thinking. But that knowledge somehow hasn't really trickled down to working with young people as much. So I'm really curious more generally in, in understanding mental imagery in young people and whether that can help us improve our treatments. Steph: And would you mind just explaining what flash forwards are for anyone who might not be aware of the term? Alex: Yeah, I think it's probably a term that if once I explain what it means, then you might realise ...
