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.

Abstract:

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:

There has been an increasing awareness of the usefulness of psychotherapy as a treatment modality for people with learning disabilities and mental health problems over recent years. However, the difficulties involved in providing appropriate training and supervision in this field has resulted in a patchy and erratic development of service provision nationally (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2004). A review by Hollins and Sinason (2000) of all the available published evidence found that nationally there was inadequate availability of psychological treatments for people with learning disabilities, that there had been few outcome studies published and most of the literature consisted of single case studies. They recommended that ongoing clinical audit, using standard outcome measures, should be part of learning disability psychotherapy service protocols, and that psychotherapy training and supervision should be made available to health and social care practitioners in the learning disability field.

Abstract:

BackgroundEmotional disorder associated with physical illness falls into two main groups: ‘psychological reaction to physical illness’ and ‘somatic presentation of psychological disorder’. Psychological treatments are becoming more widespread in the general hospital setting, but there are few systematic evaluations.MethodA manual and computer (MEDLINE) literature search was performed. Studies which provided insight into clinical practice were selected for discussion, and randomised controlled trials of at least 6 weeks duration and inclusion of 30 or more subjects were selected for review.ResultsFourteen empirical studies were found: six involving patients with chronic organic disorder and eight involving patients with somatisation.ConclusionsThere is little empirical evidence that psychotherapeutic interventions are of benefit when applied indiscriminately to patients with organic disease. Further work is required to delineate subgroups of patients who may be responsive. There is mounting evidence that psychotherapy is beneficial in patients with somatisation disorders. Patients with very chronic symptoms may require intensive treatment approaches.

Abstract:

Older adults exhibit psychotic symptoms for various reasons. Treatment may require medical and psychiatric intervention, family support, community services, etc. The role of psychotherapy, however, has received little attention. This article describes a psychotherapeutic approach to treating older adults with psychotic symptoms based on the literature and the authors’ own experience. The approach includes reaching out to identify individuals in need of help; clinical engagement to develop a working relationship; linkage with needed services; and helping individuals reduce the link between triggers and psychotic symptoms. Differences between treating a person with delusional disorder versus schizophrenia are discussed.

Abstract:

Nowadays, most of the patients affected by psychiatric disorders are successfully treated with psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Nevertheless, according to the disease, a variable percentage of patients results resistant to such modalities, and alternative methods can then be considered. The purpose of this review is to summarize the techniques and results of invasive modalities for several treatment-resistant psychiatric diseases. A literature search was performed to provide an up-to-date review of advantages, disadvantages, efficacy, and complications of Deep-Brain Stimulation, Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused-Ultrasound, radiofrequency, and radiotherapy lesioning for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, addiction, anorexia nervosa, and Tourette’s syndrome. The literature search did not strictly follow the criteria for a systematic review: due to the large differences in methodologies and patients’ cohort, we tried to identify the highest quality of available evidence for each technique. We present the data as a comprehensive, narrative review about the role, indication, safety, and results of the contemporary instrumental techniques that opened new therapeutic fields for selected patients unresponsive to psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.

Abstract:

Mourning and reminiscence are therapeutic processes common in therapeutic work with the elderly. However, a theoretical explanation of why they are effective has been lacking. Personal construct theory accounts for both in terms of the search of elderly persons for validation of their construct systems. In this article, this explanation of the parallel psychotherapeutic processes is explored, together with relevant information from the literature on mourning and reminiscence. Therapeutic case studies illustrate the characteristics of the two processes and the relationship between them.

Abstract:

ObjectiveIt has become increasingly clear over the last few years that the most effective treatments for patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a combined psychological and pharmacological approach, aiming to improve the symptoms, feelings and behaviours that are so distressing and damaging to their lives. On this poster we try to show our daily therapeutic practice with these patients through a complete review of the BPD patient's medical records available in our outpatients psychiatric clinic.MethodSystematic review of all BPD patients medical records, treated in our clinic with a particular reference to pharmacological, psychotherapeutic or both approaches stating the type of intervention in each case.ResultsWe found a mostly mixed approach to treating BPD patients in our clinic as clinical guidelines and other literature recommends. Being critical of our practice, we have observed a prolonged use of medication despite evidence suggesting a sometimes limited benefit for acute and chronic symptoms.Although psychotherapeutic interventions are widely used in our Clinic, it is doubtful that the most accepted psychotherapies mentioned earlier are the ones implemented (Kernberg, Linehan….)ConclusionThe evidence from the literature and prescribing guidelines, suggests that some of the main approaches to treating BPD patients are specific psychotherapies. However, without belittling the benefit of these psychotherapies, we found that the use of psychopharmacological treatments helps too with alleviating acute and more chronic symptoms; maybe improving the likelihood of psychotherapeutic engagement.

Abstract:

Fibromyalgia (FM), a chronic disabling disorder causing diffuse musculoskeletal pain, presents strong comorbidity with psychopathological disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We report the case of a 35-year old Syrian Refugee, diagnosed with both Fibromyalgia and PTSD related to traumatic events (killed husband, expulsion from home, rape with death threats, difficult socio-economic situation). An antidepressant treatment combined with psychotherapeutic and psycho-educational intervention led to satisfactory improvements. Considering the clinical case and other related studies, it seems that early management of the traumatic dimension is essential, in order to prevent the chronicity of the suffering and the emergence of psychiatric comorbidities.

Abstract:

Background. The model of neuroinflammation has been proposed as a possible explanation of depression. Investigations of serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in depressed patients have previously shown contradictory results of increased and decreased levels of TNF-α during the treatment of depression. Methods. We compared the serum levels of TNF-α in two cohorts of patients suffering from depression (ICD-10 criteria): one cohort from a psychotherapeutic unit ( n = 18 ), where patients were treated with Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), and the other cohort from a psychiatric day care unit ( n = 16 ). Both cohorts were investigated at the beginning and at the end of treatment. The intensity of depression was measured by means of the Beck Depression Inventory, 2nd edition (BDI-II) at both time points. Results. We observed a statistically significant increase of TNF-α in the psychotherapeutic unit at time point 2 compared to time point 1 ( T = − 14.71 , p < 0.001 ), but not in the psychiatric day care unit. In both cohorts, BDI-II scores at time point 2 were significantly decreased compared to time point 1 (psychiatric day care unit: T = 3.32 , p = 0.005 ; psychotherapeutic unit: T = 6.22 , p < 0.001 ). There was a significant correlation in the psychotherapeutic unit at time point 2 ( r = − 0.682 , p = 0.02 ). Conclusion. As TNF-α was increased at time point 2 in the psychotherapeutic unit but not in patients of the psychiatric day care unit, we propose the different durations of pretreatments in both cohorts and the associated processes of neuroinflammation as a possible explanation for our results. The lack of information about the time course of TNF-α in depression could in general explain the huge variety of TNF-α levels in different cohorts of depressed patients reported in the literature.

Abstract:

Background: Negative psychosocial sequelae of severe rugby injury (SRI) in professional rugby players are well documented. Unaddressed, these issues can leave players vulnerable to persistent common mental disorders (CMD) and negatively affect injury recovery processes. Objective: To introduce a psychotherapeutic group intervention aimed at addressing negative psychosocial sequelae linked to SRI in professional rugby player cohorts. Methods: Literature aimed at clarifying the potential efficacy of an integrative group therapy model, the Recovery Mastery Group (RMG), is discussed after which component parts of the intervention are presented. Case illustration: A case illustration is presented comprising examples of how the RMG framework addressed psychosocial recovery issues in a professional South African rugby team during 2019. Conclusion: The proposed Recovery Mastery Group (RMG) is presented as a cost- and time- effective psychotherapeutic intervention that integrates well-researched psychotherapeutic techniques. The RMG appears able to address multiple facets of psychosocial injury recovery, while possibly offering protection from the onset of CMD. This introduction to the RMG can be a forerunner of similar research across larger cohorts, in different team sports, to determine wider therapeutic intervention efficacy.

From an integrative synthesis of these concepts, specific application is made to understanding and facilitating forgiveness in the psychotherapeutic relationship.

Abstract:

Most of the scientific literature on computer games aimed at offering or aiding in psychotherapy provides little information on the relationship between the game’s design and the player’s cognitive processes. This article investigates the use of Bloom’s taxonomy in describing a psychotherapeutic game in terms of knowledge level and cognitive processing. It introduces the Revised Bloom Taxonomy and applies this to five psychotherapeutic games (Personal Investigator, Treasure Hunt, Ricky and the Spider, Moodbot, and SuperBetter) in a two-round procedure. In the first round consensus was reached on the Player Actions with Learning Objectives (PALOs) in each game. The second round sought to determine what level of knowledge and cognitive processing can be attributed to the PALOs by placing them in the taxonomy. Our low intercoder reliability in the second round indicates that Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy is not suitable to compare and contrast content between games.

Abstract:

Practitioners in sport and exercise psychology tasked with service provision in any environment can decide which framework(s) they draw on to inform their applied work. However, the similarities and differences between psychotherapeutic approaches are underrepresented in current literature. Therefore, this paper brings together practitioners from 4 dominant psychotherapeutic approaches to address a specific hypothetical case. Four different cognitive-behavioral approaches are outlined: rational emotive behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, schema therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Each practitioner outlines the particular approach and proceeds to address the case by covering assessment, intervention, and evaluation strategies that are specific to it. Similarities and differences across the approaches are discussed, and implications for practice are put forth. Finally, two other practitioners introduce motivational interviewing as an additional framework to foster the working alliance.

Abstract:

This article investigates an emerging practice in palliative care: dignity therapy. Dignity therapy is a psychotherapeutic intervention that its proponents assert has clinically significant positive impacts on dying patients. Dignity therapy consists of a physician asking a patient a set of questions about his or her life and returning to the patient with a transcript of the interview. After describing the origins of dignity therapy, the authors use a rhetorical genre studies framework to explore what the dignity interview is doing, how it shapes patients’ responses, and how patients improvise within the dignity interview’s genre ecology. Based on a discourse analysis of the interview protocol and 12 dignity interview transcripts (legacy documents) gathered in two palliative care settings in Canadian hospitals, the findings suggest that these patients appear to be using the material and genre resources (especially eulogistic strategies) associated with dignity therapy to create discursive order out of their life events. This process of genre negotiation may help to explain the positive psychotherapeutic results of dignity therapy.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to analyze whether: (a) a specific type of metacognitive deficit is present in a patient with Borderline Personality Disorder; (b) a metacognitive improvement can be detected during the psychotherapy treatment; (c) if this improvement can be indicative of the effectiveness of psychotherapy itself. A single case study has been conducted; metacognitive deficits have been measured with the Metacognition Assessment Scale (MAS). In line with the hypothesis, the results show a global and progressive improvement of meta-cognitive functions. We conclude in agreement with the current literature, the existence of a major deficit in Differentiation and Integration subfunctions (belonging to Self-reflexivity), compared to Characterization and Relation between variables subfunctions (belonging to Metacognitive monitoring).

Abstract:

Objectives: This paper explores the barriers and impediments to psychological change in those patients with borderline and narcissistic character pathology requiring long-term psychotherapeutic treatment. Method: Examination of the relevant literature was made and the author's clinical experience included. Results: Those patients with borderline and narcissistic character pathology requiring long-term psychotherapeutic treatment to achieve lasting psychological change are characterised by their experience of severe early developmental trauma. This has resulted in the formation of entrenched adverse relational patterns which are unconscious, difficult to bring into consciousness and slow to change. These patients have failed to establish security of attachment patterns in the course of a depriving and/or traumatic childhood, often in the care of parents with similar character pathology. Such patients will often require a therapeutic relationship with an emotionally responsive therapist sustained over time within a secure therapy frame to achieve lasting psychological change. Conclusions: Patients with borderline and narcissistic pathology who have sustained severe early developmental trauma will often require long-term psychotherapeutic treatment to achieve lasting psychological change. Such treatment is necessary for the relief of suffering in the patients, and may contribute to the alleviation or prevention of the intergenerational transmission of these disorders.

Studies of the psychotherapeutic process using the methods of conversation analysis can make a substantial contribution to further development of psychotherapeutic practice. The case study of Amalia, particularly session 152, has been analysed many times using different methods that are briefly reviewed here. This paper is devoted to the analysis of session 152, based on the new transcription material that includes the prosodic elements of the dialogue in the analytical dyad. Our study demonstrates the following: (a) how the analyst and the patient together create a common object of conversation, i.e. psychoanalysis; (b) the use of different therapeutic tools that have not been properly covered in literature yet and may be described as ‘devices’. We define our work as a qualitative study based on the non-statistical data of the verbal production analysis whose results may be used for advancing new hypotheses.

Abstract:

A literature review regarding body dysmorphic disorder. Analysis of Russian and foreign bibliographic sources. Dysmorphophobia (body dysmorphic disorder, dysmorphomania) is a psychopathological disorder with ideas of imaginary or exaggerated personal physical inferiority. In the general population it occurs in more than 2 %. Criteria for dysmorphophobia diagnosis are the following: excessive preoccupation with any imaginary or insignificant defect in appearance; preoccupation with a clinically significant disorder or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning; the clinical picture is not explained by another mental disorder. A unique approach to the diagnosis of dysmorphophobia has not been developed yet; clinical, pathopsychological and anamnestic methods are used as well as special questionnaires. Treatment includes drug and psychotherapeutic approaches. The disease is usually chronic, only 9 % of patients manage to achieve stable remission and only 21 % partial. Narrow specialists are not always acquainted with dysmorphophobia; it leads to an incorrect diagnosis and treatment. It is necessary to improve methods for the timely detection and correction of this form of mental pathology in order to prevent severe personal and social consequences of the disease.

Abstract:

IntroductionAmong personality disorders (PDs), antisocial and borderline personality disorder are well-studied. However, the remaining PDs (in the following called “minor PDs”) pose major problems in everyday-health care settings. People affected often present with additional axis-l disorders such as substance-related, mood or anxiety disorders, and are among those most difficult to treat.ObjectivesTo systematically review the current evidence of psychotherapeutic treatments for “minor” personality disordersMethodsIn the context of Cochrane Collaboration reviews for Cluster A, B and C PDs, exhaustive literature searches were done to identify the current RCT evidence for PD treatments. The electronic search strategies were extended to identify also non-RCT evidence for minor PD treatments. Retrievals were assessed and evaluated by two reviewers independently.ResultsThe current evidence for psychotherapeutic treatments of minor PDs is sparse and based on mixed PD samples with co-morbid axis-l disorders in the majority of cases. Reported outcomes focus on specific axis-l disorders or general measures such as overall functioning.ConclusionsThe current evidence is scarce and does not allow for distinct treatment recommendations but undermines the importance of meeting special demands of PD patients by PD-specific treatments. Possible reasons for the paucity of research in this regard will be discussed, also in the light of future developments after DSM-V.

Abstract:

BackgroundThe attempt to define psychotherapeutic skills appropriate for psychiatrists has aroused an interest in supportive psychotherapy, a previously undervalued and underdeveloped member of the psychotherapeutic family. This has been coupled with an increasing recognition of the importance of support within formal psychotherapies, especially when working with highly disturbed patients.MethodA review of supportive psychotherapy (ST) was performed, based on a Medline literature search.ResultsIt is argued that, from the perspective of attachment theory, support is an integral part of all psychotherapies. ST is also a specific mode of treatment suitable for some patients suffering from psychotic illnesses and borderline personality disorder. ST is an eclectic treatment drawing on many theoretical approaches. A common theme based on a narrative co-constructionist perspective, the search for positive meaning, is identified.ConclusionsSupportive psychotherapy is an essential component of good psychiatric practice. Further research is needed to define its benefits and limitations.

Abstract:

AbstractOne of the more draining aspects of being a clinical ethicist is dealing with the emotions of patients, family members, as well as healthcare providers. Generally, by the time a clinical ethicist is called into a case, stress levels are running high, patience is low, and interpersonal communication is strained. Management of this emotional burden of clinical ethics is an underexamined aspect of the profession and academic literature. The emotional nature of doing clinical ethics consultation may be better addressed by utilizing concepts and tools from clinical psychology. Management of countertransference, the natural emotional reaction by the therapist toward the patient, is a widely discussed topic in the psychotherapeutic literature. This concept can be adapted to the clinical ethics encounter by broadening it beyond the patient-therapist relationship to refer to the ethics consultant's emotional response toward the patient, the family, or other members the healthcare team. Further, it may aid the consultant because a recognition of the source and nature of these reactions can help maintain ‘critical distance’ and minimize bias in the same way that a psychologist maintains neutrality in psychotherapy. This paper will offer suggestions on how to manage these emotional responses and their burden in the clinical ethics encounter, drawing upon techniques and strategies recommended in the psychotherapeutic literature. Using these techniques may improve consultation outcomes and reduce the emotional burden on the clinical ethicist.

Abstract:

Extra-marital affairs are common in theusand frequently result in difficulties for individuals, families, and society. The psychological literature, however, does not provide adequate client-centered treatment directions for those who have affairs and seek psychotherapy for this issue.In an attempt to begin to address this gap in the literature, a descriptive phenomenological psychological study, a method that has the goal of articulating the general structure of an experience, in a pretheoretical manner, was undertaken. Results suggest areas of further inquiry and may imply directions for psychotherapeutic praxis with those who have had affairs.

Abstract:

The aim of this communication is to debate between two seemingly contradictory epistemological approaches in emergency psychiatry: Psychotherapy and Pharmacotherapy. Even if many international experts consider the interest of combining psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy in emergency, clinicians often find a conflict between psychotherapeutic and pharmacological skills. The question of the transference will be discussed in the emergency psychiatric settings. The newest literature data about the interest of the combining treatments (psychotherapy and pharmacology) in emergency psychiatry will be discussed by the experts from our international emergency network [1]. Then, the presentation of some preliminary research experiences of our group [2, 3], will be followed by the discussion of new unpublished data from around 10000 patients admitted consecutively in four emergency psychiatry rooms (Switzerland, Belgium, France, Romania). The clinical heterogeneity of the emergency psychiatry situations often stimulate clinicians to become creative and search for “symbiosis” between psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments, as well as for clinical practice and evidence based medicine.

Abstract:

Background.Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is a relatively novel form of psychotherapy that was developed for people who have mental health problems primarily linked to high shame and self-criticism. The aim of this early systematic review was to draw together the current research evidence of the effectiveness of CFT as a psychotherapeutic intervention, and to provide recommendations that may inform the development of further trials.Method.A comprehensive search of electronic databases was undertaken to systematically identify literature relating to the effectiveness of CFT as a psychotherapeutic intervention. Reference lists of key journals were hand searched and contact with experts in the field was made to identify unpublished data.Results.Fourteen studies were included in the review, including three randomized controlled studies. The findings from the included studies were, in the most part, favourable to CFT, and in particular seemed to be effective for people who were high in self-criticism.Conclusions.CFT shows promise as an intervention for mood disorders, particularly those high in self-criticism. However, more large-scale, high-quality trials are needed before it can be considered evidence-based practice. The review highlights issues from the current evidence that may be used to inform such trials.

Abstract:

Objective: To describe a dynamic psychotherapeutic approach specifically developed for women with eating disorders. Method: The developmental origins and psychological disturbances associated with eating disorders are outlined based on a review of the literature and the authors' observations. Principles from contemporary psychodynamic theories that focus on subjectivity and inter subjectivity are applied to the treatment of women with eating disorders and are illustrated with clinical vignettes. Theoretical models employed include inter subjective and relational theory, self psychology, and feminist psychodynamic theory. Results: Relative unresponsiveness to a child's subjective experience and to child-initiated cues are thought to contribute to psychological disturbances among women with eating disorders. These disturbances include impairment in the sense of effectiveness, in the capacity to appreciate and tolerate emotions, and in the continuity and cohesiveness of self-experience. Self-imposed starvation, binge–purge episodes, and excessive exercise may act as psychic organizers in women with these vulnerabilities. An active psychotherapeutic approach with sustained interest in the patient's authentic subjective experience promotes the identification, organization, and integration of emotional experience and the consolidation of a more differentiated sense of self. Conclusion: In the psychotherapeutic treatment of women with eating disorders, a therapeutic posture of sustained empathic enquiry contributes to the patient's curiosity about her own subjective world. Feeling understood in a therapeutic relationship and feeling assisted in organizing and understanding one's subjective experience contributes to the gradual unfolding of the psychological sense of self.

AbstractImplementing change in organizational systems is challenging, and implementing a new psychotherapeutic approach is no different. A literature exists on issues in implementation across a wide range of domains (technological, healthcare, justice). However, little of it is utilized in endeavours to implement innovations in psychological treatments. This paper draws on the implementation literature and on the experiences of the British Isles DBT Training Team (BIDBT) in implementing Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) in mental healthcare systems in the UK over the last 13 years. This paper describes principles and strategies of ‘organizational pre-treatment’ as a necessary prerequisite to implementation.

Abstract:

Intercultural psychotherapeutic treatment must involve the psychological integration of different cultures within an individual as an additional developmental dimension. The literature concerning acculturation and mental health yields heterogeneous results concerning strategies of adaptive acculturation. In intercultural psychotherapy the integration strategy is usually the strategy with the highest adaptability. It is still uncertain which theoretical assumptions might be applicable to a healthy acculturation process. However, it is assumed that increased acculturative stress may lead to higher risk and susceptibility for emotional distress and depression.Individual change during the course of migration towards a bicultural identity that includes aspects of both the culture of origin and of the host culture has often been viewed as a desirable adaptation, although the theoretical foundation of the concept of bicultural identity remains inadequate. The cultural-dynamic model presented here distinguishes between personal and social identity on the basis of the identity concept proposed by Mead (1988). We discuss implications for the intercultural psychotherapeutic process, for identity configuration in second-generation migrants, for different phases of the lifespan, and in acquiring the language of the host culture.

Abstract:

Two of the most popular psychotherapeutic approaches to treat depression are cognitive-behavioural therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy, yet little consensus has been reached concerning which therapy is most beneficial for the treatment of depression. A review of the literature revealed that, while cognitive-behavioural therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy are the most effective psychotherapeutic modalities for the treatment of depression, evidence suggests that neither of these modalities is superior to the other. Furthermore, multiple issues plague the studies investigating these treatments. Efficacy and effectiveness are often confounded, while rates of remission and response are often far less than might be expected from such highly regarded and widely used treatments. Severity of depression appears to moderate treatment outcomes, yet many studies overlook this, while the impact that the aetiology of a patient’s depression has on treatment outcomes is largely ignored in the literature. Additionally, a majority of studies have focused on therapies of short duration, which often have poor follow-up results. Finally, mechanisms of change in the treatment of depression have been ignored to a large extent, but there is some evidence that non-specific therapeutic factors may be more important than specific therapeutic techniques in producing positive treatment outcomes. These issues need to be closely examined and resolved if researchers and clinicians are serious about optimising treatments, improving outcomes, and adequately addressing the serious problem of depression.

Abstract:

Recently we witness a general tendency to synthesize psychotherapeutic models, as well as, a tendency to explore the effects of psychotherapy on the brain. This article summarizes a large volume of literature on the neuroscientific substrate of psychotherapy starting with scientific findings located in Ancient times till recent literature. The published literature that deals with the effects of psychotherapy on the brain includes studies, usually neuroimaging ones, which examine the neurological aspects of the most popular models of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. All researchers draw the conclusion that psychotherapy affects the brain functions, such as neuroplasticity,learning and memory, neurogenesis, mood and emotions, thus leading to an improvement of mental health. The discussion leads to the constitution of a new discipline, the Neuropsychotherapy, whichis promising for the liberation from the grip of psychiatric disorders.
