The Early Career Researcher (ECR) Community of the European Association of Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment (EACLIPT) is delighted to launch EACLIPT Spotlight, a new podcast dedicated to bringing research, professional experiences, and emerging discussions in clinical psychology and psychological treatment to a broader audience.
The podcast was created with a simple goal: to make conversations about research and practice more accessible, engaging, and personal. Through short episodes, interviews, discussions, and reflections, EACLIPT Spotlight aims to foster connection and knowledge exchange across the clinical psychology community while highlighting the voices and contributions of early career researchers.
Whether you are a researcher, clinician, student, or simply interested in developments in mental health research, EACLIPT Spotlight offers an accessible way to engage with current topics shaping the field.
Behind the Paper - Clinical Psychology in Europe
The first podcast series, Behind the Paper - Clinical Psychology in Europe, is developed in collaboration with Clinical Psychology in Europe (CPE), the official academic journal of EACLIPT.
Research articles often present the final product of a much longer journey. Behind every publication are important questions, methodological decisions, unexpected challenges, and reflections that rarely fit within the pages of a journal article. This series seeks to uncover those stories.
In each episode, authors of recently published CPE articles are invited to discuss:
The questions and motivations that inspired their research
The most important findings and their implications
Challenges encountered throughout the research and publication process
What the work may mean for clinical practice, future research, and lived experience
By connecting each episode directly to a published article, the series provides listeners with an accessible entry point into current research while offering unique insights into the people behind the science.
Episode 1: Vivian Peerbooms and the Predictors of Treatment Failure
The first episode features Vivian Peerbooms in conversation with ECR hosts Joost Gülpen and Larisa Dinu.
Together, they discuss the article:
"A Scoping Review of Amenable Patient-Specific Predictors of Treatment Failure in the Treatment of Anxiety and Depressive Disorders."
Rather than focusing on why psychotherapy is effective, the discussion turns attention to a different and highly relevant question: Why does treatment fail for some patients?
The episode explores amenable patient-specific predictors of treatment failure, factors that may be modifiable or influenced before treatment begins. Topics include treatment expectancy, social support, and other variables that could help improve treatment outcomes when identified and addressed early.
The conversation also highlights how the absence of a widely accepted definition of treatment failure complicates research and clinical practice. Vivian reflects on the implications of this challenge and emphasizes the importance of avoiding assumptions that may unintentionally limit access to treatment, particularly when factors such as perceived motivation are used as exclusion criteria.
Overall, the episode provides listeners with a thought-provoking perspective on how understanding treatment failure may contribute to more personalized, equitable, and effective psychological care.
