Research has provided controversial results regarding the role of distraction (vs. attentional focus) during exposure therapy. In the present study, we manipulated the nature of the concepts activated during exposure. Sixty-six spider phobics were exposed to pictures of spiders and asked, or not, to form mental images of concepts that were either r...
This article presents the theoretical, clinical, and practical arguments supporting a process‐based transdiagnostic approach to psychotherapy. A working definition of “psychological process” is provided, as well as a tri‐dimensional categorization of psychological processes potentially involved in psychopathology. Guidelines are proposed to select...
Introduction: Self-discrepancies (the distances between the perceived self and the ideal or the socially prescribed selves) are a hallmark in psychological distress. However, a clinical tool evaluating these discrepancies is lacking. Objective: To investigate the validity, the psychometric characteristics and the clinical relevance of the Self-Disc...
Cognitive models of psychopathology posit that metacognitive beliefs may figure prominently in the maintenance, and perhaps the etiology, of emotional disorders. Wells and Cartwright-Hatton (2004) developed the 30-item Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ-30) to measure metacognitive beliefs among individuals with anxiety and depression. However, unce...
This study examines the impact of partial distractor valence and schematicity (i.e., their relation to fear representation) on exposure efficacy. One hundred forty-one spider phobics were exposed to spider pictures and asked, in a between-subjects experimental design, to form mental images of words that were fear related (to spiders) and negative (...

Unpleasant self-awareness of situations of personal failure may lead to relapse, especially for AD individuals with high self-consciousness. However, the implication of Higgins’ self-dis...
Cet article présente l’application à un cas clinique de la procédure d’évaluation des processus pour les troubles anxiodépressifs développée dans l’article de Philippot et al., 2015 (dans ce numéro). Sept classes de processus ont été identifiées par questionnaire chez Marie, une jeune femme de 28 ans souffrant d’une anxiété importante de ne pas pou...
L’approche processuelle transdiagnostique a été conçue pour pallier les limites des protocoles de traitement empiriquement validés pour un diagnostic et régulièrement utilisés en thérapie comportementale et cognitive. Dans cet article, nous avons présenté une nouvelle manière de concevoir les thérapies : une approche modulaire et processuelle. Son...

Methods
Daily smokers (n=230) completed the QSU-12, the Fägerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, and items about addiction-related symp...
Over the last 30years, researchers have disagreed over the consequences of diverting attention from threat for exposure efficacy, which is an important theoretical and clinical debate. Therefore, the present meta-analysis assessed the efficacy of attentionally focused exposure against distracted and attentionally uninstructed exposure regarding dis...
The main aim of this study was to assess the reliability and structural validity of the French version of the 12-item version of the Personal Report of Confidence as Speaker (PRCS), one of the most promising measurements of public speaking fear.
A total of 611 French-speaking volunteers were administered the French versions of the short PRCS, the L...
