Cíle předmětu
Personalized mental healthcare is based on the premise that an individual’s unique neurobiology, personality, psychology and environment play a significant role in the vulnerability to psychopathology, as well as in response to interventions. Personalized therapeutic methods aim to understand the set of individual specific risk factors, and target them in order to restore and optimize mental health. This course will present approaches to capturing the mechanisms of person-environment interaction, and illustrate a selection of personalized interventions in psychopathology such as depression and schizophrenia. In addition, it will present emerging mobile health (mHealth) technologies that rely on smartphones, tablets, apps and wearable devices to enhance clinical care.
Výstupy z učení
By the end of this course, students will be familiar with the unique principles and advantages of personalized mental healthcare including remote monitoring of clients' mental states and strategies for tailoring interventions delivered in the daily life of individuals with mental disorders. Participants will also be exposed to current trends in healthcare technology such as the use of smartphone apps and sensors measuring biological markers of stress, activity levels and general treatment response.
Osnova
  • 1. Risk factors for the development of psychopathology There is growing evidence that some adversities such as childhood trauma, toxic family environment, negative life events, acute and chronic stress, migration, etc. can increase the risk of developing a mental disorder. The epidemiological and experimental evidence for the link between these risk factors and psychopathology will be highlighted.
  • 2. Mechanisms of increased vulnerability to psychopathology The proposed underlying biological and psychological mechanism by which environmental risk factors increase the vulnerability to psychopathology include biological and psychological processes. From these, stress sensitization, social defeat, cognitive biases and dysregulation of the brain neurotransmitter systems will be introduced.
  • 3. Approaches to capturing the individual unique risk factors and vulnerabilities Despite the wealth of neuroimaging, genetic and other empirical studies of psychopathology, no biomarker or psychological mechanism has been identified that would satisfactorily predict or treat psychopathology on a population level. In this part, novel approaches that capture the unique person-environment interactions, vulnerabilities and symptom dynamics will be presented.
  • 4. Personalized therapeutic methods The understanding of person-specific processes that promote vulnerability to environmental triggers can serve as a basis for designing therapeutic methods tailored to the needs of each individual client. Emerging evidence-based mHealth interventions, and their implementation in the clinical practice will be discussed, concretely: a) Aceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life b) Ecological momentary interventions c) Remote monitoring-based approaches
