Furthermore, the association between elevated cortisol levels and cognitive functioning is unclear. In the present study, currently depressed (<i>n</i> = 37), previously depressed (<i>n</i> = 81) and never ... -
Do parental cognitions during pregnancy predict bonding after birth in a low-risk sample?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-14)Parental bonding to their infant is important for healthy parent-infant interaction and infant development.

Parental cognitions such as repetitive negative thinking, a thinking style associated with mental health issues, and cognitive dispositions, e.g., mood-congruent attentional bias or negative implicit attitudes to infants, ... -
Early maladaptive schemas as predictors of maternal bonding to the unborn child
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-11)<p><i>Background - </i>The quality of an expectant mother’s bonding to the fetus has been shown to be associated with important developmental outcomes. Previous studies suggest that bonding quality is predicted by, for example, social support, psychological well-being, and depression. However, little is known regarding the role of maternal cognition in maternal-fetal bonding. Early maladaptive schemas ... -

Motivation to persist with internet-based cognitive behavioural treatment using blended care: a qualitative study.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)The prevalence of depression is high and results in huge costs for society. Internet-based cognitive behavioural treatment (ICBT) has been suggested for use in primary care and has been shown to be more effective when combined with human support. However, non-completion rates remain a challenge. Current recommendations state that steps to improve persistence with ICBT should be determined and the ... -

Predictors of Response to Web-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy With High-Intensity Face-to-Face Therapist Guidance for Depression: A Bayesian Analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-06)Background: Several studies have demonstrated the effect of guided Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for depression. However, ICBT is not suitable for all depressed patients and there is a considerable level of nonresponse. Research on predictors and moderators of outcome in ICBT is inconclusive. Objective: This paper explored predictors of response to an intervention combining the ... -
Protocol for the Northern babies longitudinal study: predicting postpartum depression and improving parent–infant interaction with The Newborn Behavioral Observation
