PSYCHOSIS
Psychosis and schizophrenia are certainly in a position of prominence among highly complex pathologies. One of the most important success of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the change regarding intervention possibility in patients with Psychosis. The study of dysfunctional models, information processing, cognitive biases, deficit of the theory of mind, third generation therapy, just for mentioning some of them, are revolutionizing the way of thinking about psychosis. Psychosis research therapy is in a very dynamic and important moment. Our purpose for the Specialized Interest Group on Psychosis is to increase collaboration and discussion on theoretical and scientific issues.

LOW INTENSITY CBT
Representative Dutch Association of CBT; author of: Kortdurende Psychologische Interventies (Brief Psychological Interventions for the First Line)About 7% of the population in Europe suffers from serious mental health problems (DSM-classification) of long duration, leading to their experiencing difficulties engaging in work or other meaningful activities, personal relationships, social roles or education.Although people in general express a desire for treatment, less than half of this group accesses mental health services. The majority do not get treatment appropriate to their problem.Due to many different reasons (for example budget reductions for mental health services) this situation is expected to get worse in the future, leading to a huge impact for sufferers, their families and for society. In some countries (CBT associations) experience and evidence is accumulating that CBT can provide one potential solution to this problem. In the UK, low intensity (LI) CBT has proved to be a good tool to improve access to psychological treatment. In the Netherlands, brief CBT, implemented in partnership with the GP improves access and reduces the investment in time, needed to reach therapeutic results with more than 20 %. Under the wings of the EABCT, representatives of several associations have taken the initiative to start a special interest group on LI, or brief CBT.

WORRY, RUMINATION and REPETITIVE THINKING
Worry, rumination and other kind of repetitive and perseverative thinking styles contribute to both anxiety and depression (Borkovec, Robinson, Pruzinsky, & DePree, 1983; Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991). Empirical research has repeatedly demonstrated that repetitive thinking is involved in risk for anxious and depressive symptoms and episodes (Calmes & Roberts, 2007). Therefore, this group of EABCT members takes the initiative to start a Special Interest Group (SIG) on worry, rumination and repetitive thinking. The program of the SIG is: 1. Founding a LinkedIn forum and exchanging experience, knowledge, practice and research by means of this LinkedIn forum and/or direct communication between participants of the associations 2. Organising symposia for the next EABCT conferences 3. Organizing meetings for representatives / people experienced or interested in the area and submitting project plans for such meetings

FORENSIC CBT
Chair: dr RUUD HORNSVELD and dr ELLY VAN LAARHOVEN At the moment, cognitive-behavioural theory is the operative frame of reference for mental health care in forensic settings for both youth (their parents) and adults. In forensic psychiatry and psychology, it concerns offenders with a psychiatric disorder or with a psychological problem who are evaluated because of a court order and who are sometimes obliged to follow a treatment or rehabilitation program afterwards to reduce recidivism risk. Last two decades, the development and application of evidence-based risk assessment instruments has assumed large proportions. However, there is still a need of specific evidence-based assessment instruments who may give further insight in the criminogenic and protective determinants of criminal behavior. Although there is now knowledge about the conditions to which effective treatment or rehabilitation programs have to fulfill, most research on the effect of this programs has largely been performed in Canada and the United States, and not so much in Europe, with the exception of the United Kingdom. Therefore, European clinicians and researchers need to join their efforts in order to deepen the insight in the specific problems of our offenders and the interventions that are needed to reduce their recidivism risk effectively. The aims of this Scientific Interest Group of the EABCT are to foster collaborations and discussions on scientific issues, to start up joint research projects, to exchange assessment instruments and treatment or rehabilitation scenario’s, and to organize meetings, symposia, and workshops. In addition, the SIG will investigate the viability of a new international journal for publications on cognitive-behavioral assessment and treatment in forensic settings. Welcome to all the experts on forensic CBT who wish to join our group!

POSITIVE CBT
Chair: dr FREDRIKE BANNINK
Positive CBT is a new approach to the practice of traditional CBT. Its focus is not (only) on pathology, on what is wrong with clients and on repairing what is worst, but first and foremost on their strengths, what is rights with them and on creating what is best. The focus is not on (merely) reducing distress, but first and foremost on building success. A FBA of exceptions to the problem and the ‘upward arrow’ instead of the ‘downward arrow’ technique are two of the many practical applications of Positive CBT.
Bannink, F.P. (2012). Practicing Positive CBT. From Reducing Distress to Building Success. Oxford: Wiley.
The aim of the SIG Positive CBT, founded in 2014, is to foster collaboration and discussion on theoretical and practical issues and to promote research in the field of Positive CBT, as well as to connect via Linkedin and SIG meetings at EABCT conferences.
