All 3 clients reported benefiting considerably from adding the juggling task to the exposure therapy. The effects appeared to be rapid and minimally stressful and generalized to in vivo situations. I suggest that the treatment may have enhanced the response flexibility in brain circuitry involved with preconscious threat detection.

These maladaptive schemas are thought to be important in the development and maintenance of psychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. Factor analytic research with this 205-item version of the Schema Questionnaire has supported the schemas proposed by Young. The Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (SQ-SF) was designed (J. E. Young, 1998) to measure 15 maladaptive schemas and is a briefer (75 item) instrument. The present study examined the psychometric properties of the SQ-SF with a sample of patients in a psychiatric day treatment program. The factor analysis supported the 15 schema subscales proposed by Young. These 15 subscales demonstrated good internal consistency. The present study also examined the relationship between the SQ-SF subscales and psychiatric symptomatology. Results provided support for the construct validity of the SQ-SF, suggesting the importance of maladaptive schemas in the development and maintenance of psychiatric symptoms.

Self-monitoring, goal setting, corrective feedback, behavioural contract, procedures to enhance commitment and reinforcement were the techniques used in this intervention. Eighty-six 23-year-Dld volunteer university participants, 62.2% females who reported they had difficulty giving/receiving criticism, and who had a high fear of negative evaluation, were randomly assigned to the treatment condition with or without the adherence intervention or to a waiting list control condition. We found treatment program attendance increased and percentage dropouts reduced by a factor of approximately one half. People who worked on treatment adherence reported differentially improved cognitive antecedents (reduced criticism concerns) and consequences (higher selfesteem/self-efficacy) and demonstrated better skills (videotape ratings of trained judges) in giving criticism to others. On the other hand, people in the adherence condition reported no differentially improved affective antecedents (fear of negative evaluation) nor cognitive/ affective consequences (self-esteem/self-efficacy) nor did any demonstrate differentially better skills in the way they received criticism. Our results were interpreted in terms of an optimal arousal/avoidance learning paradigm whereupon people's adherence activities facilitated arousal optimal to greater program attendance and outcome gains in the proactive task of giving but not the more reactive task of receiving criticism.
