Abstract:
BackgroundPsychiatrists have been criticised for failing to develop adequate treatment for personality disorder. Psychotherapeutic treatments are promising, but their effectiveness is uncertain.AimsTo investigate the evidence for effectiveness of psychotherapeutic treatment for personality disorder.MethodSystematic literature review.ResultsThere is evidence for the effectiveness of psychotherapy for personality disorder. Problems of case identification, comorbidity, randomisation, specificity of treatment and outcome measurement are inadequately addressed. Authors mainly relied on cohort studies. Evidence neither suggests superiority of one type of therapy over another nor indicates which subgroups of patients should be offered psychotherapy as in-patient, day patient, or out-patient.ConclusionsNew research strategies are needed to show that personality change is both measurable and clinically meaningful. Effectiveness studies using randomised controlled designs are required. The literature suggests that effective treatment should be long-term, integrated, theoretically coherent and focused on compliance.

The literature is summarized on normative reactions to abortion and factors that increase risk of negative emotional sequelae. Four areas of inquiry for identifying psychotherapeutic issues in regard to abortion are elaborated, including: (a) characteristics of the woman prior to and at the time of the abortion, (b) the nature of social support and the cultural milieu around the abortion, (c) characteristics of the medical environment and abortion procedure, and (d) events subsequent to the abortion which may have aroused post-decisional conflict. The implications of the research literature for psychotherapeutic treatment of women who have had abortions are discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractGlaucoma poses the second largest cause of severe visual impairment and loss of vision worldwide. Despite the progress in both pharmaceutical and surgical treatments, the attempts to decrease intraocular pressure and prevent progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy fail in many cases. Hence there is a high demand for additional complementary methods, which can reduce intraocular pressure and improve ocular blood flow as well as mental well-being. On the basis of literature research, the study results published so far on the effectiveness of psychotherapeutical methods in glaucoma therapy will be presented here. The methods of autogenic training, hypnosis and music therapy have already been demonstrated to have a positive effect on intraocular pressure, ocular blood flow and psychological well-being of patients affected by glaucoma. With these methods being not only effective but also cost-efficient, free of side effects and easily administered, they could gain importance in terms of an adjuvant treatment option for patients with glaucoma. However, regular ophthalmological examinations still remain obligatory.

Abstract:
We discuss a rather new approach for the Russian psychotherapeutic practice — animal-assisted therapy. Russian scientific and psychotherapeutic literature lacks scientific studies that comprehensively consider the effectiveness of animal-assisted therapy (both positively and negatively), its use in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and analyze in detail the researchers’ own experience of using animal therapy with a description of specific cases. Hence we discuss the key characteristics of animal-assisted therapy, describe the procedure of registering an animal for participation in therapy, analyze the results of using animal-assisted therapy for various psychotherapeutic and psychocorrectional problems, and substantiate the efficiency of animal-assisted therapy within CBT and its catalytic role in therapeutic processes. We describe the experience of using animal-assisted therapy as part of CBT. Using the example of two thematic cases that illustrate various goals and conditions, the structure and relevance of the inclusion of an animal in CBT depending on the client’s problem are considered, and methods of using an animal relevant to the client’s problem and psychotherapeutic goals are presented.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease, both influencing patients physical and mental health and thereby interfering with quality of life (QoL). This systematic review aims to assess the effect of psychotherapy on IBD patients’ QoL. Methods A systematic search was conducted on 07 October 2019 using Embase, Medline (Ovid), PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, PsycInfo and Google Scholar, to collect all types of clinical trials with psychotherapeutic interventions that measured QoL in IBD patients aged 18 and over. Quality of evidence was assessed using GRADE criteria. Results Out of 2560 articles, 31 studies (32 articles) were included with a total number of 2397 patients. Of the 31 eligible studies, twelve showed a significant positive effect and four had mixed results regarding the impact of psychotherapeutic interventions on QoL. Eight studies were rated as of moderate quality, of which five showed a significant effect. All four studies focussing on patients with active disease showed a positive effect of psychotherapy. No specific preference for a type of psychotherapy, type of disease or psychological condition at baseline was found. No meta-analysis could be performed due to heterogeneity of design, implementation and statistical analyses of the studies. Conclusion Psychotherapeutic interventions can improve QoL in IBD patients, but there is mixed evidence. Patients with active disease seem to profit more from psychotherapy than those in remission. More high quality research is needed to provide tailored psychological therapy to adults with IBD.

Abstract:
AimsTo review the existing scientific literature on the neurobiology of caregiver-infant attachment and the effects of psychotherapy on neurobiological structures. We hypothesised that the therapeutic relationship is a new attachment relationship that can model and re-map neural networks involved in emotional self-regulation.Understanding attachment is relevant to working with women and families in the perinatal period and has an impact on treatment outcomes. Evolutionary perspectives show that the infant's attachment to the caregiver is important for survival, development of self and relational patterns. Mother's attachment predicts the infant caregiving behaviour in perinatal period and psychotherapeutic interventions at this time have a role in modifying the risk of intergenerational transmission of trauma and further pathological attachment styles.MethodWe performed a MEDLINE search focussing on the past 10 years. Keywords used were attachment, neurobiology and psychotherapy. We included original studies and existing reviews looking at all types of formal psychotherapy used and focussing on human research. Exclusion criteria were non psychotherapeutic interventions and attachment based on couples only.ResultThere has been an increasing focus in the literature on studying the neurobiology of attachment in caregivers and infants both in healthy cases and in psychopathology over the past decade. Existing studies concentrate on care givers, there is growing evidence on the effects of attachment styles on the infant's brain, mostly from animal studies. Some authors looked at the effects of parental childhood trauma on later parenting styles and intergenerational transmission of trauma. A few studies highlighted neurobiological changes as a result of psychotherapeutic interventions in various psychiatric disorders.ConclusionThere is growing evidence on the neurobiology of attachment focussing on specific neurotransmitters and brain pathways. The modulating effect of psychotherapy has also been studied, albeit with more focus on recovery from psychiatric illness. The literature on neurobiological changes with psychotherapy remains scarce and heterogeneous and further research may be needed in the neurobiology of therapeutic relationship itself as there is increasing recognition that this may be the agent of change, with evidence in the role of linking cortical structures to subcortical limbic systems.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a feminist genealogy of ideas concerned with male violence against women from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century. The thesis has two components: the first examines feminist, psychotherapeutic and socio-legal literature, examining how knowledge about female victims of male violence has been constituted; the second analyses memory work conducted with two groups of women exploring personal meanings about victims and violence. Each chapter describes pivotal moments in the history of women and violence showing how seemingly disparate ideas emerged to become precursors of contemporary knowledge which have given rise to a range of institutional responses to violence. Late nineteenth-century feminists created new ways of speaking about violence against women, however, their ideas were incongruent with prevailing discourses of the era. The advent of Freudian thought also brought about a new language with which to talk about violence placing the victim of violence firmly under the therapeutic gaze. During the 1930s and 1940s the founders of victimology utilised Freud's work as evidence for their proposition that female victims were often complicit in their own victimisation. In the1970s feminists challenged victim blaming ideology and redefined violence as a social and political issue. Twentieth century psychotherapeutic discourses tended to position victims of violence within discourses of psychopathology. However, more recently survivors have been defined in terms of traumatisation, constituting alternative possibilities for subjectivity following victimisation. The memory work used in this study enabled a consideration of the relationship between discourse and women's understandings of violence. Although remnants of all the discourses could be found in the women's narratives, some resonating with more authority than others, no one discourse operated deterministically to totalise subjectivity. Rather, it is evident that identities associated with survival are complex, dynamic and fluid. The legacy of the discourses described in this thesis continues to be apparent in community attitudes, institutional responses to violence and survivors' concepts of self. This thesis considers the potential implications of these discourses for women's subjectivity.

Abstract:
In Chapter 4, “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Evidence-Based Practice,” research on the use of CBT with older adults is summarized and evaluated. Fifteen meta-analyses and systematic reviews published between 2000 and 2015 are presented. The most developed area of research on CBT effectiveness with older clients is on depression and anxiety outcomes. A smaller, but still substantial, literature focuses on outcomes of CBT for insomnia. While research on the effectiveness of CBT with older adults is not as encompassing as that for younger populations, it is, nonetheless, substantive and, thus far, more advanced than that of most other psychotherapeutic interventions used with older adults. Research suggests that CBT with older clients is as effective as other psychotherapeutic interventions, with superior results in decreasing the negative outcomes of anxiety. In administration, CBT is a flexible approach that has utility across a variety of settings and contexts.

Abstract:
Cognitive and behavioural changes are relatively common in patients with ALS, but often receive less emphasis than the loss of physical strength and function. There is extensive literature on the impact of cognitive and behavioural changes on Quality of Life (QoL) in caregivers and the patients themselves in a variety of other neurological conditions, the implications of which are directly applicable in many respects to ALS. Based on this information, a number of intervention strategies may be employed, including psycho-educational and psychotherapeutic interventions, group-based support services, cognitive stimulation/training, and multidisciplinary interventions, among others. Specific strategies can be used to manage cognitive and behavioural dysfunction in patients, and may serve to improve the QoL of patients and caregivers, while lessening caregiver burden.

Abstract:
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) have been in the medical literature for centuries. However, treatments were limited, being based on uncontrolled data, until the past decade. Treatment advances published since 2010 have included pilot controlled trials using psychotherapies, psychoeducational approaches, medications, and combined pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches that provide new treatment options for patients with PNES. This chapter describes these controlled trials in detail. It also covers studies of treatments for other functional neurological disorders including PNES. One conclusion from this review is that future studies still need to improve on as-yet limited sample sizes and provide insights into predictors of treatment outcome so that rational decisions can be made about which treatments offer the best outcome and who is likely to best respond to which treatment.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the formulation of borderline personality disorder (BPD) as a disorder of mentalization, the mentalization-based treatment (MBT) technique and treatment framework, and the empirical literature that provides the evidentiary basis for MBT’s theories and efficacy. The chapter also discusses some limitations to its application and claims. Mentalization broadly encompasses a wide territory of mental activities by which people understand themselves and their identity, manage their emotions and thoughts meaningfully and effectively, respond to their own experience and others in behavior, and maintain secure and productive relationships. When mentalization dysfunctions, personalities become disordered. Mentalization as a concept integrates ideas from both traditional psychoanalytic theory to modern-day neuroscience. The bridging of theories from the psychoanalytic tradition with current neuroscientific discovery makes mentalization-based treatment (MBT) a broadly appealing intellectual framework with which to relate clinical theory, empirical evidence, and psychotherapeutic technique in the treatment of BPD.

Abstract:
This chapter examines current literature regarding the impact of social cognition on psychosocial functioning in major depressive disorder, as well as potential treatment opportunities. Impairments of social cognition influence psychosocial functioning in the key domains of social performance, emotional/empathic performance, general cognitive functioning, and quality of life. Multiple treatment modalities have been used to target these difficulties, including antidepressant medication, psychotherapeutic approaches, and procedural interventions. Studies assess treatment efficacy based on the impact on facial affect recognition, interpretation of affective pictures, theory of mind performance, and prosody. Many current therapies are shown to have a normalizing effect for accuracy of interpretation and reduction in underlying negative interpretative bias. In particular, certain antidepressants seem to correct facial affect recognition deficits, while several psychotherapeutic approaches appear well suited for addressing impaired theory of mind or mood-congruent interpretative biases.

This chapter reviews the literature on lithium withdrawal and provides strategies on how to reduce the risk of relapse through such measures as slow tapers. Combinations of mood stabilizers such as lithium, divalproex, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine are used frequently and recommended even with the approval of several second-generation antipsychotic medications as mood stabilizers. As patients grow older, the potential nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of these medications can become a significant consideration. The question of misdiagnosis of mood instability and off-label use occurring in personality disorders and substance abuse is also addressed. Psychotherapeutic interventions such as psychoeducation, family therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy that support the treatment of bipolar disorder are described as a part of the deprescribing process and illustrated by case examples.

Abstract:
Psychotherapy has historically been the mainstay of treatment for personality disorder (PD). It remains so. Psychoanalysis was probably the earliest formal treatment for PD, which led to the first clinical descriptions of borderline personality disorder. A parallel but linked development was the application of psychoanalytic ideas in therapeutic communities which have been in existence for over 60 years and remain a treatment context and method for patients with PD. It was only in the 1960s that modified psychotherapeutic treatments were developed. Initially these were based on psychodynamic understanding of PD, but gradually other theoretically and practically driven models have developed, leading to the current situation in which there are behavioural, cognitive, dynamic, and supportive treatments offered in a range of contexts. Some of these methods have more empirical support than others. These methods will be described in this chapter. Psychological therapies for personality disorders take place against the background of the natural course and outcome of the disorder. Until recently, the natural history of personality disorder had not been systematically studied. Several major cohort follow-along studies have yielded surprising data concerning the rate of symptomatic remissions in a disorder that was assumed to have a lifelong course. For example, over a 10-year follow-along period, 88 per cent of those initially diagnosed with borderline personality disorder appeared to remit in the sense of no longer meeting DIB-R or DSM-III criteria for BPD for 2 years. The symptoms that remit most readily, irrespective of treatment, appear to be the acute ones, such as parasuicide and self-injury, which are the most likely to trigger psychotherapeutic intervention. Temperamental symptoms, such as angry feelings and acts, distrust and suspicion, abandonment concerns, and emotional instability, appear to resolve far more slowly. In the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorder Study (CLPS), when remission was defined as 12 months at two or fewer criteria for PDs, over half of BPD and 85 per cent of major depressive disorder (MDD) patients were reported to remit over a 4-year period. Psychosocial functioning recovered far more slowly than acute symptoms. There is a considerable body of literature on psychotherapeutic interventions for personality disorders, but significant evidence for effective treatment remains sparse. Much of the literature is dominated by expert opinion, which is not invariably the most helpful guide. In this chapter, we focus on psychological treatments where at least some evidence for treatment effectiveness exists. The evidence is strongest for borderline personality disorder (BPD). Treatment of some other personality disorders, for example schizoid, narcissistic, obsessive–compulsive, dependent, is evidenced mainly by clinical case reports in which theory is combined with clinical description and where, if outcome is measured at all, it is measured for the purpose of illustration and has little probative value.

Abstract:
Certain patterns have developed around meditation and enlightenment, or awakening, as many prefer to call it, in the American Insight network. Network here is defined as a loose affiliation of individuals and communities that prioritize Vipassana meditation as their central practice and trace their immediate Buddhist roots to Burmese and Thai Theravadin lineages. One current network emphasizes a more relational and integrative orientation toward meditation and draws significantly on psychotherapeutic discourse. The other stresses a more systematic and goal-oriented approach to awakening and relies heavily on traditional Buddhist canonical and commentarial literature. This chapter traces these currents, across both first- and second-generation convert teachers, highlighting the orientation toward meditation, the preferred style of practice, the gendering of meditation, the understanding of enlightenment, and the strategies of legitimation advanced within each before reflecting on their significance for the unfolding of Buddhist modernism in the United States.

Abstract:
The intersection between Neuropsychology and Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy in several cases has been shown to be beneficial, improving the quality and speed of treatments due to the greater understanding and resources that the two areas together make possible.
