Does baseline severity interact with the effects of psychotherapy for depression? A meta-analytic review
No full textIntroduction: It is not yet clear whether baseline severity is associated with the effects of psychotherapies. We examined baseline severity at the study level in a large sample of randomized controlled trials comparing psychotherapies against a control condition for the treatment of depression. Methods: We used an existing large database of randomized trials comparing psychotherapies for depression with control groups (www.metapsy.org). We converted baseline severity scores across different depression measures into a common metric. We ran bivariable and multivariable meta-regression analyses to examine the association of effect sizes with baseline severity. We also examined response rates in treatment and control conditions. Results: We included 387 randomized trials (463 comparisons; 47,315 patients). The pooled effect size of the psychotherapies was g = 0.77 (95 % CI, 0.70; 0.84). In the main analyses, we found a highly significant association between the effect size and baseline severity (bivariable coefficient: 0.024 (SE = 0.006; p < 0.0001), multivariable coefficient: 0.022 (SE = 0.007; p = 0.002)). This was confirmed in some but not all sensitivity analyses. Absolute response rates in the control conditions remained stable across different levels of baseline severity (bivariable metaregression analyses: p = 0.545), or showed a negative association (multivariable analyses: p = 0.002). In the therapy conditions the response rates were significantly larger with increasing levels of baseline severity (bivariable: p ≤0.0001; multivariable: p = 0.006). Conclusion: The effects of psychotherapies are probably associated with baseline severity. Response rates in control conditions remained relatively stable across different levels of baseline severity, while in the treatment conditions the response rates increased with increasing levels of baseline severity

The Cracow’s pious laymen or Beghard heretics? From the study on the 14th century Tractatus contra beghardos by Henryk Harrer
No full textTractatus contra beghardos written by a Chech Dominican Henryk Harrer is a masterpiece of exceptional value for both historians of the medieval heterodox movements as well as for scholars interested in the history of theology and law in the 14th century. The treaty was commissioned by Cracow Dominicans in the years 1328 to 1334. Commissioning the treaty to Henryk Harrer, a stranger expert from the Prague monastery of St. Clemens was dictated by a series of controversies among Cracow clergy around the judgement of conduct of a certain group of people whose religious practices and a way of life stood out from the rest of the congregation. Undertaking the task of writing the treaty Henryk Harrer based his work around three charges pressed against the suspected of heresy: breaking off the Church and establishing an illegal organization (singularitas vite); corrupted attitude towards recognized religious practices (contemptibilitas sacramenti eucharistiae); numerous flaws and perverse disposition (pertinax voluntas). Not only did Harrer decide to comment on all aspects of life of central figures of Contra beghardos but he also honestly mentioned all arguments he was not able to undermine. Despite these objective difficulties, the Czech Dominican was certain that the expertise he came up with was sufficient to link the lay movement with the sect of Beghard Heretics. The author of this study proved that, contrary to Harrer’s keen intention, his Tractatus contra beghardos does not unambiguously show heresy in the Cracow diocese. What is more, the reader, instead of indictment against the conduct of a group of laymen paradoxically received a confirmation of their innocence and orthodoxy. In the light of analysis of the text Contra beghardos, the claim that Beghard Heretics from Harrer’s work turn out to be pious layman, living in communion with the Church, seems to be fully substantiated. Of course their way of life and the practice of asceticism made them stand out from the other members of the congregation but were completely in line with the Church legislation. In this context, Harrer’s work is an original testimony of numerous misunderstandings about the Beghard movement and stormy times of forming a new kind of piety among lay members of Church

metapsy-project/data-peer-support-interventions: Version 23.0.3
No full textThe data-peer-support dataset
The data-peer-support dataset is a meta-analytic research domain MARD) which is part of the Metapsy project. The dataset contains study information and effect size data of randomized trials on peer support interventions for individuals with mental illness. The date of the last search update is provided here. More details about this database can be accessed in the published meta-analysis.
This dataset includes peer support interventions (PSIs) vs. control (PSIs vs ctr) comparisons. Effect sizes are provided for three types of recovery outcomes at post-test: clinical recovery, personal recovery, and functional recovery .
It includes one type of effect size calculation per study, giving priority to means and standard deviations at post-test, followed by change scores, binary outcomes, and other statistics.
The dataset follows the Metapsy data standard
