A Study of Social Relationships, Health Behaviors, and ...



Project LISTENS

You are invited to participate in a research project currently underway at Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center. The project examines variables that could influence the course and outcome of therapy, such as shame, compassion, anxiety, depression, and the therapy relationship. The goal of the project is to study variables that could eventually be used to create new, more effective treatments.

Whether or not you participate is completely up to you. Choosing not to participate will not affect your treatment in any way.

If you are interested in participating, please contact the research team right away because your initial assessment for the study needs to occur before your second session of therapy.

Participation in this study involves completing a set of questionnaires assessing perceptions of your feelings of shame, compassion, and symptoms of anxiety and depression several different times over the next few months.

Because of the way the study is designed, participation involves an initial meeting before your second therapy session. This initial meeting will take about 90-120 minutes.

If you decide to continue with the study, you will then complete a brief online survey every three weeks for the next three months or so, as well as another set of questionnaires at the end of the study.

If you decide to participate, we will pay you up to $50 for your time.
