Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to establish feasibility and provide initial estimates of efficacy of two computerized cognitive training procedures (a form of Positive Mental Imagery Training, PMIT, and a form of Cognitive Control Training, CCT) delivered as adjuncts to treatment as usual (TAU) in inpatient mental health treatment settings.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Aged 18 years or above
- •Sufficient German language skills
- •Receiving treatment in a participating inpatient clinic during the timeframe of the study (i.e. they must be able to complete the training entirely within their admission).

- •Existence of a condition or circumstances that would interfere with completion of the study procedures (e.g. severe visual impairment, neurological problem, acute psychosis or substance withdrawal symptoms)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
21-item positive subscale from the extended Positive and Negative Affect Schedules
Time Frame: Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline)
The Joviality, Self-Assurance, Attentiveness, and Serenity subscales of the extended PANAS (PANAS-X; Watson \& Clark, 1994) will be administered, following previous experimental research examining the effect of positive mental imagery on state mood (e.g. Holmes, Lang, \& Shah, 2009). Participants will be asked to rate the items according to how they have been feeling 'in the past week, that is, during the past seven days, including today'.
Secondary Outcomes
- 21-item positive subscale from the extended Positive and Negative Affect Schedules(Baseline, Follow-up (2 weeks after the post-intervention assessment))
- Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale(Baseline, Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline), Follow-up (2 weeks after the post-intervention assessment))
- Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report(Baseline, Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline), Follow-up (2 weeks after the post-intervention assessment))
- GAD-7(Baseline, Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline), Follow-up (2 weeks after the post-intervention assessment))
- Positive Mental Health Scale(Baseline, Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline), Follow-up (2 weeks after the post-intervention assessment))
- Prospective Imagery Test(Baseline, Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline))
- Scrambled Sentences Test (SST)(Baseline, Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline))
- Implicit Associations Test (IAT)(Baseline, Post-intervention (2 weeks post-baseline))
