that are common across cognitive-behavioral therapies for depression and
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She studies the process of change in
the context of dynamic systems theory, which involves the study of
associative networks, system flexibility, destabilization of pathological
patterns, and the development of new patterns or attractors. She studies
system change in three disorders characterized by entrenched patterns of
avoidance and chronic, unproductive processing: Depression, PTSD, and
personality disorders (avoidant and obsessive-compulsive). On the basis of this research, Dr. Hayes developed a treatment for
depression, exposure-based cognitive therapy (EBCT). This treatment applies
principles of exposure and emotional processing from interventions for PTSD
and general principles of change from dynamic systems theory. EBCT has been
evaluated in two open trials and in a randomized controlled trial that
compared EBCT to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which was conducted in
Switzerland by Dr. Martin Grosse Holtforth. EBCT was associated with significant improvement in depression and
large effect sizes in all three trials. She is developing a smartphone app to
accompany the treatment and to give feedback on risk and wellness factors to
help prevent relapse. Dr. Hayes is also investigating the roles of avoidance,
unproductive processing, depressive network destabilization, and therapeutic
emotional processing in CBT for treatment-resistant depression with Dr.
Willem Kuyken and colleagues in England. The overall goal of this program of research is to develop more potent
treatments for depression and to reduce the risk for relapse in this often
recurrent disorder.</p></div> | <div class="ExternalClass0B2A12D387B24A44B98061DF567507E2"><p>Ph.D., State
