METHODS A sample of individuals from clinical and control groups (171 with bipolar disorder, 42 with unipolar depression, and 64 controls) completed a measure of appraisals… (More)
Positive and negative appraisals of the consequences of activated states uniquely relate to symptoms of hypomania and depression.
Individuals may appraise internal states positively or negatively. Positive appraisals involve desiring or pursuing the state or experience, while negative appraisals involve dreading or avoiding the experience. The extent to which individuals make extreme positive or negative appraisals of high, activated, energetic states might determine whether they… (More)
Flexible and tenacious goal pursuit lead to improving well-being in an aging population: a ten-year cohort study.
BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that tendencies to tenaciously pursue goals and flexibly adapt goals independently relate to well-being in adults in mid-to-late life, but research has not tested whether these tendencies interact.

The Role the Frailty Syndrome Can Play in Advocacy and Resource Allocation for Our Ageing Population - Findings in a Dublin Day Hospital.
Frail individuals are at higher risk of adverse outcomes, and need identification and priority access to Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA). We prospectively collected data on new referrals to our day hospital. Levels of frailty were measured with the SHARE Frailty Instrument for Primary Care (SHARE-FI). Of 257 patients assessed (90 men, 167 women),… (More)
“When my Moods Drive Upward There Is Nothing I Can Do about It”: A Review of Extreme Appraisals of Internal States and the Bipolar Spectrum
The integrative cognitive model provides a comprehensive account of bipolar disorder (BD) that, if empirically supported, has important potential implications for psychological therapies. This article is the first to review the evidence for this model. We evaluate the evidence (up to 2017) for four hypotheses derived uniquely from the model: extreme… (More)
Appraisals of Internal States and their Consequences: Relationship to Adolescent Analogue Bipolar Symptoms.
BACKGROUND Extreme appraisals of internal states correlate with and prospectively predict mood symptoms in adults, and discriminate individuals with bipolar disorder from individuals with unipolar depression and non-clinical controls. AIMS These findings required replication in adolescents. This study sought to investigate the relationships between… (More)
