Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the interplay between self-criticism and symptom severity in patients undergoing psychotherapeutic treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants are recruited at the University Clinic Heidelberg at the beginning of their (usually) 8-week in-patient treatment, consisting of somatic and psychotherapeutic aspects. After informed consent, patients routinely fill out weekly questionnaires about their self-criticism and their symptom severity. The overall aim of this study is to disentangle stable (between-person) effects of both self-criticism and symptom severity from within-person effects happening over time in order to better understand what drives what, or in other words, their dynamic interplay. The analysis is based on the weekly assessment of the patients. All patients receive the standard care of the in-patient treatment.
