Abstract [en]

Depression is a global problem and treatments show less than desirable effects. The network theory of mental disorders holds promise as a better alternative to understand depression, but research has thus far mainly been nomothetic. Perceived Causal Symptom Networks (PECAN) was developed to bring network theory into a clinical practice as a tool for conceptualisation. In this study, PECAN has been evaluated for clinical utility and future development though a non-experimental exploratory survey including 12 therapists and 20 patients. Positive statements on PECAN's clinical utility were reported to be somewhere between "Partly correct" and "Fairly correct" on a Likert scale from 0-4 by patients (M=2.6) and therapists (M=3.0; M=2.8). Results indicated that PECAN served as a useful stepping board for further conceptualisation and provided incremental benefits. Developmental possibilities point towards a focus on clinical utility rather than theoretical adherence.
