Paying careful attention to the multiple meanings the word ‘institution’ has in French, this article traces the development of institutional psychotherapy’s clinical practice. Through a close reading of Jean Oury’s seminars and clinical writing alongside other key members of the GTPSI (Groupe de travail de psychothérapie et de sociothérapie institutionnelles or Working Group on Institutional Psychotherapy and Socio- therapy), this article argues that institutional psychotherapy’s specificity is in the way in which the clinical and the political are able to connect their praxis.

Full textAbstract:
Games have been widely used in many domains including medical for therapy purposes. With the advancement of technology, mobile psychotherapy games have essential role in improving memory among elderly patients. There are numbers of psychotherapy games that have been developed for elderly with memory disorder. However, at one point most of the developed games are still questionable since there is lack of game development guides for this particular purpose. Designing the optimum design for the psychotherapy games, which emphasizes the users in it will be able to maximise the effectiveness of the games. Thus, this study aims to review the literatures systematically in identifying the criteria for mobile psychotherapy games specifically for memory disorder. To achieve this, three databases were used in searching literatures which are Scopus, Web of Science and ACM Digital Library. The search identified 992 articles altogether;69 papers remains for further selection process while 909 were excluded due to irrelevancy of the focus. The selection process later refrained to 16 articles being analysed and synthesised. The selection incorporated all articles which focused directly on the psychotherapy games for memory disorder elderly patients concentrated on mobile devices. As a result, a set of important criteria for different themes on designing mobile psychotherapy game has been identified. Significant features of psychotherapy games were found in majority of the reviewed articles. These criteria will be beneficial in forming a guideline for designing and developing mobile psychotherapy games for memory disorder patients.

The article presents an analysis of Leo Tolstoy’s novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich, with a view to transforming experiences in literature and psychotherapy. It focuses on three central points: the question of personal authenticity, the autobiographic narration of self as source of our identity, and the importance of physical contact as a bridge between individuals. A short clinical note highlights some critical issues that could be important for the reader, personally as well as professionally.

Full textAbstract:
Islamic psychotherapy has been an interesting discussion over the past few years. This is indicated by the number of studies on Islamic psychotherapy, both literature studies and experiments. As a method of psychotherapy, Islamic psychotherapy cannot be separated from ethics code. However, Islamic psychotherapy is based on two principles, namely the science of psychology and Islamic religion. It leads to debate about the form of ethical code of Islamic psychotherapy. This study aimed to provide suggestions for the formulation of a code of ethics in Islamic psychotherapy using literature study. The result is a clear formulation of ethical code of Islamic psychotherapy. The formulation is based on psychology ethics which is then interpreted according to the context of Islamic psychotherapy. It is intended that the perception and implementation of Islamic psychotherapy can be standardized and not leading to ethical violations

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To compile, review, and comment upon the application of psychotherapy to the treatment of psychiatric disorders first appearing in childhood and adolescence. Method: Representative research papers published over the past 4 decades on the subject of psychotherapy of children and adolescents were compiled. Selection for inclusion in this review was based upon salience to the subject of treatment of child psychiatric disorders. Special consideration was given to large-scale and metaanalytic studies, as well as to studies comparing psychotherapy with other forms of treatment. Results: There is mixed evidence for the efficacy of psychotherapy for child psychiatric disorders. There are few direct comparisons between treatment modalities in the child psychiatric literature. Methodological problems include a history of theoretical development of therapies without reference to current conceptions of mental illness, a paucity of direct comparisons among psychotherapies and between psychotherapy and other psychiatric treatments, inconsistent definition of psychotherapy from study to study, and inconsistency in stated outcome measures. In general, cognitive–behavioural therapies performed better in application to child psychiatric disorders than did insight-oriented therapies. Conclusions: Outcome research in child-oriented psychotherapy is still in its infancy. There are simply too few studies of many therapies and many conditions to draw firm conclusions about efficacy. More work is needed in matching discrete, consistently applied therapies to selected psychiatric pathologies. Questions regarding psychotherapy's potential application to prevention of mental illness and to management of distress surrounding mental illness (as distinct from treatment of the illness itself) remain to be answered.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report the evidence base for the practice of individual psychodynamic psychotherapy with adults with intellectual disabilities (IDs). Design/methodology/approach Literature review. Findings In total, 14 papers were reviewed. From these, one existing review and seven individual papers provided enough evidence to support effectiveness of individual psychodynamic psychotherapy for people with IDs. Research limitations/implications This research indicates individual psychodynamic psychotherapy to be of benefit. Indeed, all studies reviewed supported individual psychodynamic psychotherapy, but methodological shortcomings weakened the confidence placed in findings for some studies. Limitations of this review include methodological shortcomings of studies reviewed, a small number of existing studies and reliance on case studies. Practical implications Therapists and commissioners of services should routinely make individual psychodynamic psychotherapy available as part of a spectrum of therapies available to people with IDs who experience emotional and behavioural problems. This is because it is needed for some clients and they benefit. Social implications Individual psychodynamic psychotherapy for people with IDs adds to the range of therapies available to alleviate emotional distress and enhance well-being. These are necessary to provide a foundation for meaningful contribution to society, particularly for those who have experienced psychological trauma (Frankish, 2016). Originality/value This review includes more relevant studies than previous reviews and adds to a limited number of reviews in this area.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe psychiatric disorder, with disabling potential and chronic evolution, that occurs at some people due to exposure to a specific traumatic event or threats of death, serious injury or sexual violence. Currently, psychotherapy is accepted as one of the most effective methods of treating PTSD. Incomplete clinical response as well as frequent relapses indicate the need to seek alternative therapies, of which the combination of psychotherapy with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is noted for its possible useful effects. Methods: This paper is a literature review that has reviewed several scientific articles looking at the adjuvant effect of MDMA associated with psychotherapy in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. The included studies were selected following systematic searches conducted on the PubMed online database. A total of 33 scientific articles were included. Results: In general, the selected studies can be divided into two main areas in terms of objectives: studies looking at whether MDMA adjuvant psychotherapy is useful in post-traumatic stress syndrome and studies looking at the mechanisms by which MDMA can be associated with psychotherapy in the treatment of this condition. Conclusions: Our results on the potential therapeutic effect of MDMA, especially in combination with psychotherapy, raise several controversies, limitations and opportunities. The existence of a small number of studies in an advanced stage, together with the significant addictive potential of the substance and the current controversies related to its use for therapeutic purposes currently limit of this therapeutic option. However, given that studies are in full swing, the benefits of increasing psychotherapy with MDMA could be a valid and frequently used treatment option in the future.

Since Bloch (1981) last wrote about the group psychotherapies for this journal, there have been significant developments in practice and in the available literature. There is now a wider range of introductory texts, and a few works have extended the theory of group dynamics and the therapeutic action of groups. There is evidence of a growing awareness of the applications of group psychotherapy in the treatment of a range of patients.

Full textAbstract:
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe and heterogeneous psychiatric disorder known to begin at a young age, often in adolescence. It is associated with suicidal behaviour and self-harm. Up to 10 per cent of BPD patients die by suicide, so it is very important to find effective methods to alleviate the symptoms of this disorder [1]. A combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy seems reasonable. An obstacle to widespread access to psychotherapy is the relatively high costs associated with the salaries of highly qualified psychotherapists. Another impediment is the long time required for effective psychotherapy and the frequent phenomenon of patients with unstable emotions discontinuing therapy prematurely. On the other hand, pharmacotherapy is necessary during periods of aggravation of the disorder, such as increased emotional lability, dysphoric states associated with aggression, impulsive behaviour and the presence of pseudopsychotic symptoms. This paper is a compilation of available treatments for borderline disorder. In the context of considering effective therapies for BPD, an important aspect is the need to increase the length of therapy and the availability of professional help for patients. In addition, research points to the benefits of combining psychotherapy with pharmacotherapy to more effectively alleviate the symptoms of this heterogeneous disorder. It is noteworthy that the relatively high cost of psychotherapy and the need to decrease.

Full textAbstract:
Praca stawia sobie za cel ukazanie inspiracji, jakie dla psychoterapeutów mogą płynąć z filozofii literatury Maurice’a Blanchota. Francuski pisarz, filozof i teoretyk literatury, w swoich pracach starał się uchwycić relację łączącą autora i czytelnika z dziełem. Swoje rozważania snuł z perspektywy realizacji pragnienia wejścia w dialog z samym byciem – źródłowym doświadczeniem. Wyodrębnienie i wskazanie czynników odpowiedzialnych za pełnienie funkcji terapeutycznych przez literaturę, stało się w niniejszej pracy podstawą poszukiwań odpowiedzi na postawione pytanie o obecność terapeutycznego wymiaru doświadczenia literatury w koncepcji dzieła francuskiego filozofa. Analiza teorii Bruna Bettelheima, opisującej rolę baśni w rozwoju dziecka, pozwoliła na wyszczególnienie kluczowych elementów sprzyjających procesowi integracji psychicznej i poszukiwaniu osobistego sensu przez odbiorcę. Przyrównując sesje psychoterapeutyczną do procesu tworzenia i odbioru dzieła psychoterapeuta pouczony zostaje przez Blanchota, jaką postawę winien przyjąć, chcąc wypełnić wymogi włączenia treści ukrytych do jawnych znaczeń, budowania zaangażowania emocjonalnego i pomieszczania emocji. W oparciu o lekturę tekstów Maurice’a Blanchota dowieść można, że rozważania filozofa wokół „obecności nieobecności” czyli samego bycia, śmierci oraz wymogów autentycznego czytania, stanowią treści, które dobrze przyswojone wspierać mogą psychoterapeutów w działaniach uznawanych przez Bettelheima za terapeutyczne.

Full textAbstract:
We systematically reviewed the research literature on spiritually and religiously integrated group psychotherapy to answer the following three questions: first, how are spirituality and religiosity defined; second, how are spiritual and religious factors characterized and integrated into group psychotherapy; and, third, what is the outcome of the group psychotherapies? We searched in two databases: PsycINFO and PubMed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria and checklists from standardized assessment tools were applied to the research literature. Qualitative and quantitative papers were included. In total, 8 articles were considered eligible for the review. Findings from the evaluation suggested that the concepts of spirituality and religiosity were poorly conceptualized and the way in which spiritual and religious factors were integrated into such group psychotherapies, which distinguished it from other types of group psychotherapies, was not fully conceptualized or understood either. However, clear and delimited conceptualization of spiritual and religious factors is crucial in order to be able to conclude the direct influences of spiritual or religious factors on outcomes. Implications for spiritually or religiously integrated group psychotherapy and conducting research in this field are propounded.

Mental illness referred to as severe mental disorder (psychosis), one of which is schizophrenia, which sufferers tend to experience relapse (recurrence). The purpose of this study is to find out how the use of Sufism as psychotherapy in dealing with relapse of people with schizophrenia and to prove empirical facts that Sufism can be used as a psychotherapy for people with schizophrenia based on previous studies. This research method uses literature review, literature searches are carried out through Google Scholar. Search results from Google Scholar found 12 journals, and 7 journals were eliminated, then 5 journals were accepted and analyzed. The results showed that Sufism as a psychotherapy could be a form of treatment for people with schizophrenia. The forms of Sufism as psychotherapy are Qur'anic healing therapy, Sufi healing therapy and spiritual neuroscience, as well as collaboration of Sufistic psychotherapy with traditional suwuk bobok Jowo, then audio therapy of the Qur'an, ablution therapy, prayer, and remembrance. Sufism as psychotherapy can make the heart (qalb) and soul calm, serene, and peaceful. So that the symptoms of schizophrenics such as anxiety, hallucinations, and delusions can be reduced.

Full textAbstract:
Yoga is an ancient discipline focusing on the union of the mind and body. In recent years, Yoga has generated much interest within the scientific community regarding its physiological and psychological benefits,including its power as a healing modality. To date, studies of variable quality have been conducted examining Yoga as a treatment for mental disorders, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, drug addiction, mental retardation, pain management, and body image. While these studies as a whole suggest that Yoga may be a promising treatment, much work remains to be done before drawing any valid, scientific conclusions. Specifically,more and better-designed studies need to be conducted in order to conclusively demonstrate Yoga's usefulness as a treatment for certain mental disorders. In order to add to the existing knowledge base, future studies will need to more clearly define Yoga and develop better controls for variables such as cultural expectations and personal motivation. Ultimately, a second generation of studies might point to the different types of populations who would most benefit from Yoga versus more conventional treatments. It is hoped that this review will point the way for future studies and encourage researchers to continue exploring the possibilities of this promising treatment for psychological disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Psychotherapy is a component of the therapeutic options accessible in mental health. Along with psychotherapy techniques and indications, there is a body of studies on what are known as psychotherapy’s common factors. However, up to 40% of patients do not respond to therapy. Artificial intelligence approaches are hoped to enhance this and with the growing body of evidence of the use of neural networks (NNs) in other areas of medicine, this domain is lacking in the field of psychotherapy. This study aims to identify the different uses of NNs in the field of psychotherapy. Methods: A scoping review was conducted in the electronic databases EMBASE, MEDLINE, APA, and CINAHL. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement influenced this study’s design. Studies were included if they applied a neural network algorithm in the context of a psychotherapeutic approach. Results: A total of 157 studies were screened for eligibility, of which 32 were fully assessed. Finally, eight articles were analyzed, and three uses were identified: predicting the therapeutic outcomes, content analysis, and automated categorization of psychotherapeutic interactions. Conclusions: Uses of NNs were identified with limited evidence of their effects. The potential implications of these uses could assist the therapist in providing a more personalized therapeutic approach to their patients. Given the paucity of literature, this study provides a path for future research to better understand the efficacy of such uses.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Purpose Psychodynamic psychotherapy is increasingly adapted and used with individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and mental health difficulties. However, the evidence base is still small and largely based on case studies and small trials whose participants mainly have mild to moderate ID. This paper aims to review and critique the literature in regards to the adaptations; and the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy for those with severe and profound ID. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature search of PsycINFO, Social Policy and Practice, Medline, Cumulative Index to nursing and allied health literature and applied social sciences index and abstracts was conducted. Six studies met inclusion criteria and underwent a quality evaluation and critical review. Findings Six papers (all case studies) met inclusion criteria and underwent a quality evaluation and critical review. Some adaptations to therapy were reported, such as a more flexible therapeutic frame and increased use of the physical environment as a therapeutic tool. Due to significant methodological weaknesses of the included studies, it is yet unclear whether psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective intervention for individuals with severe and profound ID. Research limitations/implications Only a small number of case studies met the inclusion criteria. Further research should use more robust outcome measures, larger samples and compare psychodynamic psychotherapy to alternative interventions. Originality/value This paper is the first to review the psychodynamic psychotherapy literature with regard to its effectiveness as a treatment specifically for individuals with severe and profound ID and mental health difficulties.

Introduction Psychotherapy is a treatment of proven efficacy in bipolar disorder (BD), but little is known about the molecular and cellular mechanisms that it produces in the brain. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is thought to be important in neuroplasticity and could be increased by psychopharmaceuticals and psychotherapy in BD patients, but evidence in the literature is limited.ObjectivesTo analyze the scientific studies that relate psychotherapies with the increase in BNDF levels in patients with BD.MethodsSystematic review with PRISMA recommendations in PUBMED and Web of Science in July 2022. The search was performed using the combination of keywords “bipolar disorder” AND (“BDNF” OR “Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor”) AND “psychotherapy”.ResultsWith the initial search, 839 studies were obtained, finally 8 articles were analyzed. The available literature supports the role of psychotherapy in increasing BNDF in patients with BD.ConclusionsBDNF could be a biomarker of therapeutic efficacy in BD. Psychotherapy increases BDNF levels. No differences were found between the different types of psychotherapies. More studies are needed to determine the mechanisms by which psychotherapies produce molecular changes in the brain.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Full textAbstract:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common and potential disabling functional gastrointestinal disorder. Studies have revealed a possible association between IBS and psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression. Clinical symptoms of IBS include abdominal pain or discomfort, stool irregularities and bloating, as well as other somatic, visceral and psychiatric comorbidities. Currently, the diagnosis of IBS is based on symptoms and the exclusion of other organic diseases, and therapy includes drug treatment of the predominant symptoms, nutrition and psychotherapy. This review confirms the higher levels of anxiety and depression in patients with IBS; however, no specific subtype has been identified to be associated with higher psychiatric comorbidities compared to the others. The Best Management therapy for reduce anxiety and depression are Low-dose antidepressants and Psychotherapy.

Full textAbstract:
Studies about online psychotherapy have gained momentum as the coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on conducting them face to face. The effectiveness and therapeutic alliance in online psychotherapy have been examined and sometimes compared with face-to-face psychotherapy. In these studies, it was seen that mainly quantitative methods were used. Exploratory qualitative research is needed to refine the literature on online psychotherapy. For this purpose, in this study, data obtained from clients who received face-to-face or online psychotherapy were analyzed using the metaphor analysis method, which is one of the descriptive phenomenological approaches. According to the data obtained from 116 people, nine different categories of metaphors related to online and face-to-face psychotherapy were obtained. The most frequent metaphors about online psychotherapy belonged to categories of convenience, artificiality, similarity to face-to-face psychotherapy, and ineffectiveness. The frequent metaphors about face-to-face psychotherapy belonged to categories of contact, effectiveness, reality, and difficulty. When the participants were divided into two groups according to their age, the opinions about online psychotherapy differed in the two age groups. Similarly, the opinions of people who received psychotherapy with different methods differed for the online psychotherapy. Clinical implications and limitations were discussed.

IntroductionThe process of integrating technology into mental health pathways represents a social transformation that we are gradually getting used to. But does it represent a valid alternative to face-to-face care processes? In this paper we will consider telesychology as a tool for treating anxiety and depression and its validity. Anxiety and depression are harmful to individuals, suffering from these disorders, their caregivers, and the economy. Remote delivery of psychotherapy has been established as a viable alternative to traditional in-person psychotherapy for treating anxiety and depression. However, literature comparing and evaluating the variety of remote delivery modalities of psychotherapy has not yet been integrated.ObjectivesThis review examines the efficiency – to - practice and the limits of e-therapy and its mediums: telephone, video, and online-administered psychotherapy, for treatment of anxiety and depression.MethodsA comprehensive literature search, conducted using PubMed and PsycINFO included systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and cost-analysis studies focused on a remote delivery method of e-psychotherapy for anxiety and depressionResultsOverall, interventions delivered through telephone, video, and online modalities, have generally demonstrated good efficiency in treating anxiety and depression; also comorbid with other disorders. The literature also suggested that telehealth psychotherapy is accessible, convenient, and cost-effective.In evaluating the reviews on the databases, it also emerged that among the many psychological therapies for anxiety disorders, delivered digitally (CBT, Attention bias modification, Exposure therapy, Applied relaxation, Bibliotherapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Mindfulness, Behavioral stress management, Counseling), the best digital therapy is internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT), in particular for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).Despite this, overall, the efficiency and practical benefits of remote psychotherapy interventions in treating anxiety and depression across a diverse range of patient groups suggested that it is an appropriate alternative for those who cannot access in-person psychotherapy.ConclusionsFurther research evaluating the efficiency and practical benefits of e-psychotherapy for anxiety and depression is much needed for patients with limited access to in-person psychological care. Moreover, it remains to evaluate the maintenance of therapeutic gains after the end of the treatments.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Full textAbstract:
Ambiguity characterises many aspects of the Socratic method as it is described in the psychotherapy literature. This is particularly so when the purpose for employing the technique is considered. The chronological inclusion of the Socratic method into psychotherapy is traced in an attempt to understand what the original purpose for adopting this procedure might have been. Authors who write about Socratic questioning in psychotherapy, however, provide few clues as to their interest in the technique. We conclude by suggesting that defining questioning techniques by the purposes they are used for might provide opportunities to clarify important aspects of psychotherapy.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes two models of psychotherapy and the language of the psychotherapeutic discourse in Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest” (translated from English by D. Shepelev). First raised by M. Foucault, the theme of psychotherapy in hospitals of mental disorders as a practice of power was described in medical, pedagogical, autobiographical literature. The paper compares two models of the psychotherapeutic approach to human socialisation, conditionally associated with the manipulative method of the senior nurse of the psychiatric clinic and the humanistic method of McMurphy, the patient. The two types of the psychotherapeutic discourse, techniques of psychotherapy, features of the language of agents and clients of therapy – all these things make it possible to conclude that the qualities of the psychotherapist himself, but not abstract clichés, are of decisive importance in psychotherapy, and literature, thanks to numerous expressive means, helps to attract a wide audience to the topic of human mental health.

Objective: To explore the modification of traditional psychotherapy to provide a more relevant service for non-dominant groups including women, Maori and the poor. Method: The philosophy and practice of a psychotherapy service that made overt sociopolitical issues for women, Maori and the poor was analysed and linked with literature on psychotherapy for non-dominant groups. Results: Traditional psychotherapy, with its focus on the intrapsychic, has not addressed the condition of marginalised groups such as the poor, ethnic minorities including Maori, and some women, whose mental health difficulties have major contributions from external sources. The service analysed, and much of the literature, used social analysis as a therapeutic tool to break the cycle of self-blame and doubt and to contextualise intrapsychic experience. As non-dominant groups lack power, power differences in the therapy relationship should be lessened to avoid retrauma-tising the patient. Conclusion: It is possible for psychotherapy to broaden its traditional base to include a sociopolitical viewpoint. This would make it more available and meaningful to a wider range of people, especially those with the double disadvantage of adverse intrapsychic and sociopolitical factors.

Full textAbstract:
The fear of childbirth is a mental health problem that involves a severe, excessive fear of pregnancy and the time of birth. This condition is also called "tokophobia" or, better said, birth phobia. This review is based on information from articles in the literature published between January 1, 2001 and November 1, 2021 in PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar using the following keywords: fear of childbirth, symptoms, causes, tools, psychological interventions. In this review, we discussed the types of fears women have about pregnancy and childbirth, the instruments that is used for assessing the fear of childbirth, and how to cope with and overcome this fear. According to the literature, the role of psychological counseling for women facing fear of childbirth is important in the optimal management of emotional symptoms associated with pregnancy.

Full textAbstract:
Reflexivity is a concept that is increasingly gaining prevalence in the literature of professional practice and it has been defined in a variety of ways; however, the differences in definition largerly depend on the context. Therefore, reflexivity development is the main goal of supervision; it is a powerful instrument that can impede the psychotherapist’s connection with his client, but there is no answer on what specifically enhances or decreases reflexivity during the supervision process. In the scientific articles analyzing supervision, there is no clear definition of the phenomenon of reflexivity and there is also a lack of empirical studies of reflexivity in supervision. The aim of this paper is to present our own definition and theoretical model of reflexivity in the psychotherapy supervision process as well as distinguish reflexivity between adjacent concepts like “reflection,” “self-reflection,” and “self-reflexivity.” We carried out a systematic review of literature within three databases and created a theoretical model of reflexivity in psychotherapy supervision. We also discuss the guidelines and methods for further empirical investigations of this phenomenon in psychotherapy supervision.

Full textAbstract:
Psychotherapy is a well-established method of treating many mental disorders. It has been proven that psychotherapy leads to structural and functional changes in the brain; however, knowledge about the molecular and cellular mechanisms of these changes is limited. Neuroplasticity and one of its mediators, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), are potential research targets in this field. To define the role of BDNF concentration in serum, or in plasma, and BDNF promoter gene methylation in saliva or leucocytes, in psychotherapy, an extensive literature search was conducted in the PubMed and Web of Science databases. The literature review was conducted based on papers published up until May 2021 that included pre and post psychotherapy measurements of either BDNF concentration levels or promoter gene methylation status. Ten studies were indicated as eligible for analysis: eight studies that investigated peripheral BDNF concentration levels, one study that investigated methylation status, and one study that included an evaluation of both subject matters. Patients underwent cognitive behavioral therapy or interpersonal psychotherapy. Patients were diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, major depressive disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or post-traumatic stress disorder. There were only three of the nine studies that showed statistically significant increases in BDNF concentration levels after psychotherapy. The two studies that involved BDNF gene methylation status showed a decrease in methylation after dialectical behavioral therapy of borderline patients.

Full textAbstract:
Psychotherapy was an invention of European modernity, but as the 20th century unfolded, and we trace how it crossed national and continental borders, its goals and the particular techniques by which it operated become harder to pin down. This introduction briefly draws together the historical literature on psychotherapy in Europe, asking comparative questions about the role of location and culture, and networks of transmission and transformation. It introduces the six articles in this special issue on Greece, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Russia, Britain and Sweden as well as its parallel special issue of History of Psychology on ‘Psychotherapy in the Americas’. It traces what these articles tell us about how therapeutic developments were entangled with the dramatic, and often traumatic, political events across the continent: in the wake of the Second World War, the emergence of Communist and authoritarian regimes, the establishment of welfare states and the advance of neoliberalism.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a review and analysis of literature aimed at grounding psychotherapy within the context of contemporary neuroscientific concepts. It is suggested that on the neural level psychotherapy is associated with changes in the mentalizing and empathy networks’ connectivity. Several mechanisms underlying these changes are proposed: enhancement of the prefrontal system’s role in arousal regulation, oxytocin-related modulation of the attachment system, and optimization of predictive coding of interpersonal perception, including the prediction error processing pathway. The hypotheses are supported by studies in social, cognitive, affective and behavioral neuroscience, research in the field of psychotherapy, and neuroimaging data on the effects of psychotherapy.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: There has been a surge in videoconferencing technology use in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. RANZCP registrars engaged in the Psychotherapy Written Case are met with new challenges in navigating the psychodynamic processes that can occur when transitioning from in-person to videoconferencing psychotherapy. There is also a myriad of videoconferencing platforms to choose from. Conclusion: It has become necessary to adapt our clinical practice to the current COVID-19 pandemic and physical distancing regulations. The literature recognises videoconferencing psychotherapy as a valid therapeutic medium which can facilitate healthy psychological maturation, but there are theoretical drawbacks. A transition to videoconferencing psychotherapy requires patient agreeability, consistency and reflection upon patient–therapist dynamics; this will aide in the Psychotherapy Written Case submission. Registrars must balance usability, digital security and patient preferences when choosing videoconferencing platforms.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: As in Australia, demand for psychotherapy is rising in Britain, and the wide variety of psychological treatments available within the National Health Service (NHS), the independent sector, and voluntary agencies leads to uncertainty about which patients are most suitable for which type of psychotherapy, as well as the appropriate balance between psychological and pharmacological interventions. This paper describes how Birmingham Health Authority (HA), the largest HA in England and Wales with a population of just under one million, developed and implemented an evidence-based strategy for the use of psychotherapy services. Method: A literature search and health needs assessment for psychotherapy in Birmingham was performed. Results: It was possible to estimate the need for evidence-based psychotherapy services using routinely available epidemiological data. By matching specific techniques to individual diagnosis and estimating the size of the population for whom this was appropriate, demand for psychotherapy exceeded service provision by a factor of four. Conclusions: The following steps were undertaken: (i) setting priorities for the commissioning of psychotherapy on the basis of the scientific literature including greater use of brief and focused forms of integrative therapy from a variety of psychotherapeutic schools; (ii) targeting interventions on the basis of objective criteria to ensure that patients were referred for the appropriate level and intensity of psychological intervention using the full range of available services within the NHS, the independent sector, and voluntary agencies; (iii) agreeing on an integrated treatment algorithm (ITA) for the use of the most cost-effective treatments while ensuring that a range of alternative interventions was available for patients for whom a first line therapy was not suitable. Such an ITA could be adapted to assist general practitioners in their management and referral decisions; (iv) sharing skills between specialist psychotherapy services and members of primary and mental health teams through training, supervision and consultation–liaison.

Full textAbstract:
This case report details the treatment of a longtime psychodynamic psychotherapy patient, with a particular focus on a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) session, and how the progress achieved during this session compares with the literature on KAP. The patient is a 54-year-old woman with a history of multiple traumas, including sexual assault and life-threatening physical injuries, as well as a recent diagnosis of primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). For most of her life, she relied on extreme idealization of important people in her life as her primary defense mechanism, helping her to maintain physical and psychological survival. However, after a KAP session in January 2023 she discovered the consequences of her extreme idealizing tendencies. Among these was the creation of troubling double binds for the people she idealized, as well as the fomentation of conflict between these individuals with each other. Also unconscious was the secondary gain offered by her escalating physical symptoms and pain—that is, the ability to resolve conflicts between those she idealized—and how this secondary gain increased the likelihood of symptom exacerbations during periods of conflict. After the discovery of these unconscious tendencies during her KAP session, the patient has since been able to avoid extreme idealization of important people in her life and has subsequently experienced fewer episodes of exacerbation of her physical symptoms. Consistent with the opinions of clinicians and researchers published in the literature, the achievement of a psychedelic trance state appeared necessary for the success of the patient's KAP treatment.

BackgroundPolarisation of biological and psychosocial aspects of psychiatry has promoted a form of Cartesian dualism. Current knowledge of the interaction between biology and psychology makes it possible to consider a truly integrative approach to treatment.AimsThe aim of this overview is to consider conceptual models of how psychotherapy may affect the brain.MethodThe literature discussing the mutual influence of genes and environment is surveyed. Relevant data involving the influence of psychotherapy on the brain are also reviewed.ResultsResearch findings suggest that the brain responds to environmental influence through the alteration of gene expression; that psychotherapy has specific measurable effects on the brain; and that implicit memory may be modified by psychotherapeutic interventions.ConclusionsAdvances in neuroscience research have led to a more sophisticated understanding of how psychotherapy may affect brain functioning. These developments point the way towards a new era of psychotherapy research and practice in which specific modes of psychotherapy can be designed to target specific sites of brain functioning.

Full textAbstract:
Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are the most common treatments utilized in patients diagnosed with depressive disorders. Their efficacy in remitting symptoms and restoring patients to baseline functioning has been established throughout the literature; however, questions still remain on whether pharmacotherapy is necessary in all patients and if used, when initiation is most beneficial. Current guidelines recommend initiating only psychotherapy in patients with mild depression and advancing to pharmacotherapy as appropriate. Evidence-based literature has shown pharmacotherapy to have a significant and independent treatment effect in depressive disorders compared with psychotherapy. Combination treatment with both modalities has also shown to be beneficial for remitting depressive symptoms in this patient population. Therefore, treatment should be individualized for each specific patient based on severity of disease, history of depression and response to treatment, cost of treatment, and patient preference.

Psychotherapists in private practice provide services to an ever-growing client population. The 2020 novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic was a catalyst for emerging and exasperated mental health concerns among the U.S. population. The result was an increase in demand for services and private practitioners stepping up to meet this growing need. Little is known about the psychotherapists who embark on independent practice and less is known about the nuances of practicing during a global pandemic. The aim of this review was to exhaust the literature on private practice psychotherapy and the practice of psychotherapy during COVID-19, synthesize the findings, report on themes in the literature, and provide recommendations for future lines of inquiry. Themes from this review included the impact of COVID-19 on public mental health, telemental health, private practice shifts, and private practice careers.
