Data from the nationally-representative 2024 National Survey Investigating Hallucinogenic Trends of participants who did ( n = 1234) or did not ( n = 1607) report past-year psilocybin and alcohol co-use...
Psilocybin has been shown to induce fast and sustained symptoms improvements across various psychiatric conditions, yet its long-term mechanisms of action are not fully understood. Initial evidence suggests that longitudinal functional and structural brain changes implicate fronto-striatal-thalamic (FST) circuitry, a broad system involved in goal-directed behavior and motivational states. Here,...

본 연구의 목적은 육군 신병의 적응 향상을 위한 마음챙김 기반 인지치료(MBCT) 집단프로그램을 개발하고 그 효과를 검증하는 데 있다. 프로그램은 천성문의 프로그램 개발모형에 따라 기획 및 요구분석을 토대로 구성하였으며, 1·2차 전문가 검토, 예비운영 및 효과평가 결과의 환류를 통해 반복적으로 수정·보완하여 최종 확정하였다. 효과 검증을 위해 육군 신병 28명을 실험집단과 통제집단에 각각 14명씩 무작위 배정하고, 실험집단에 4일간 총 8회기(회기당 120분)의 프로그램을 실시하였다. 군생활 적응, 마음챙김, 우울 및 수용행동을 사전·사후 측정한 후 공분산분석(ANCOVA)을 실시하였으며, 가정이 충족되지 않은 변인에는 HC3 강건 표준오차 분석과 상호작용 모형을 추가로 적용하였다. 연구 결과,...
Relevance. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and a significant proportion of patients suffer from treatment-resistant forms of the disorder. An innovative approach involves the use of ketamine and esketamine, which are capable of inducing a “window of neuroplasticity” – a period of enhanced synaptogenesis and the formation of new neural connections. Theoretically,...
