Book Synopsis Premature Termination in Psychotherapy by : Joshua K. Swift
Download or read book Premature Termination in Psychotherapy written by Joshua K. Swift and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Premature termination is a significant yet often neglected problem in psychotherapy with significant consequences for clients and therapists alike. According to some estimates, as many as 20% of adult clients terminate psychotherapy prematurely. Even experienced practitioners using the best evidence-based techniques cannot successfully promote positive, long-term change in clients who do not complete the full course of treatment. This book helps therapists and clinical researchers identify the common factors that lead to premature termination, and it presents eight strategies to address these factors and reduce client dropout rates. Such evidence-based techniques will help therapists establish proper roles and behaviors, work with client preferences, educate clients on patterns of change, and plan for appropriate termination within the first few sessions. Additional strategies can be used throughout therapy to help strengthen and reinforce clients' feelings of hope, enhance their motivation to create change, develop and maintain the therapeutic alliance, and continually evaluate overall treatment progress. Case examples demonstrate how these strategies can be employed in real-life scenarios.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Effective Psychotherapy by : Thomas R. Giles
Download or read book Handbook of Effective Psychotherapy written by Thomas R. Giles and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Effective Psydwtherapy is the culmination of 15 years of personal interest in the area of psychotherapy outcome research. In my view, this is one of the most interesting and crucial areas in the field: it has relevance across disparate clinical disciplines and orientations; it provides a measure of how far the field has progressed in its efforts to improve the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic inter vention; and it provides an ongoing measure of how readily clinicians adapt to scientific indications in state-of-the-art care. Regrettably, as several of the chapters in this volume indicate, there is a vast chasm between what is known about the best available treatments and what is applied as the usual standard of care. On the most basic level there appears to be a significant number of clinicians who remain reluctant to acknowledge that scien tific study can add to their ability to aid the emotionally distressed. I hope that this handbook, with its many delineations of empirically supported treatments, will do something to remedy this state of affairs.
Book Synopsis Are Psychotherapies with More Dropout Also Less Effective? by : Catherine Marie Reich
Download or read book Are Psychotherapies with More Dropout Also Less Effective? written by Catherine Marie Reich and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychotherapy dropout is often regarded as an indicator of treatment failure. However, this assumed relationship between dropout and outcome has not been well established. The current research consisted of three meta-analytic studies, the results of which found (a) greater dropout from one treatment relative to another was predictive of the greater effectiveness of that treatment for the completers, (b) individuals who dropped out of therapy were more distressed at posttreatment than individuals who completed therapy, and (c) individuals who dropped out began treatment more distressed than those who completed therapy. The issue of continued ambiguity in the meaning of dropout is discussed as well as the promising potential for future research in the area of dropout as it relates to outcome.
Book Synopsis Short-term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Adolescents with Depression by : Simon Cregeen
Download or read book Short-term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Adolescents with Depression written by Simon Cregeen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short-term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (STPP) is a manualised, time-limited model of psychoanalytic psychotherapy comprising twenty-eight weekly sessions for the adolescent patient and seven sessions for parents or carers, designed so that it can be delivered within a public mental health system, such as Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in the UK. It has its origins in psychoanalytic theoretical principles, clinical experience, and empirical research suggesting that psychoanalytic treatment of this duration can be effective for a range of disorders, including depression, in children and young people. The manual explicitly focuses on the treatment of moderate to severe depression, both by detailing the psychoanalytic understanding of depression in young people and through careful consideration of clinical work with this group. It is the first treatment manual to describe psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adolescents with depression.

Book Synopsis Psychotherapy Dropout by : Jennie Sharf
Download or read book Psychotherapy Dropout written by Jennie Sharf and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of this study was to provide an updated meta-analytic review of the psychotherapy dropout literature in a methodologically rigorous fashion. In addition to analyzing research that had not yet been included in a meta-analytical review of premature termination, this study analyzed variables that were not examined in the most recent meta-analysis of premature termination (Wierzbicki & Pekarik, 1993). The meta-analysis was conducted using 73 studies published from 1990 to 2006. Study descriptor variables and empirical findings were coded, and effect size was calculated using Cohen's d (Cohen, 1988). Data were analyzed according to Shadish and Haddock (1994) and Hedges and Olkin (1985). Moderator analyses were conducted to examine the potential impact of study descriptor variables according to Hedges (1994). Therapeutic alliance, treatment expectations, patient motivation, patient self-efficacy, patient hostility, and patient impulsivity were found to be moderately strong predictors of premature termination. Patient psychological variables (symptom severity and diagnosis), therapy and therapist variables (treatment length, treatment type, and therapist training), were less strongly related to premature termination, consistent with previous reviews of psychotherapy dropout literature. Simple patient demographic variables (age, gender, marital status, and level of education) were found to be weak predictors of premature termination. An additional analysis calculated a 35.26% average dropout rate across 110 studies; average dropout rate varied significantly according to country of study, study design, and primary diagnosis. The current study did not find that dropout rate varied as a function of dropout definition. Limitations of the present meta-analysis as well as directions for future research were discussed.
Book Synopsis Terminating Psychotherapy by : William T. O'Donohue
Download or read book Terminating Psychotherapy written by William T. O'Donohue and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of terminating therapy is not one that clinicians normally consider. However, the session limits placed on clinicians by managed care require that the end of therapy be built into the treatment plan from the onset. With a focus on the termination of psychotherapy, A Clinician’s Guide examines the pertinent additional training that will aid mental health professionals in providing the most financially sensible and clinically deep treatment for their clients. Specifically, the book provides information on how to identify and understand when and how to discontinue psychological treatment with clients who have achieved sub-par results, as well as with clients who have ulterior motives such as friendship or support. The volume examines how to identify the client’s motivations early in therapy in order to better plan the course of treatment and to effectively prepare for "unplanned" terminations. It supplies important additional training in its discussions on ethical dilemmas, financial and personal consequences, and troubleshooting when it comes to engaging in termination. Offering a comprehensive and practice-focused guide from distinguished contributors, the book covers a wide spectrum of therapy approaches, patient populations and termination strategies. The book provides an in-depth look at termination by discussing various patient models, types, backgrounds, and problems, noting that with clear goals and a set course of action, the therapist will be better equipped to design a treatment that will best serve the patient’s interest.
Book Synopsis Principles Of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy by : Lester Luborsky
Download or read book Principles Of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy written by Lester Luborsky and published by . This book was released on 1984-06-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this splendid book a master psychotherapist, one of the field's most respected researchers, provides the first definitive account of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in manual format. What distinguishes this book from other guides to therapy is the way in which the author systematically demystifies the therapeutic process, taking the reader step by step through a sequence of specific intervention strategies.The book offers the essence of psychoanalytic psychotherapy by extracting the treatment principles from Freud's six papers on technique and the Menninger Foundation tradition of supportive-expressive psychotherapy. At the heart of the expressive techniques is the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme method of delineating the transference pattern and providing a focus for the therapist's responses. Both the short-term and the usual open-ended treatment are presented. Each technique is illustrated by clinical vignettes. Precise measurement scales for each technique make it easy to evaluate the therapist's performance. Therapists, clinical supervisors, and researchers will all find this book to be a valuable source of practical information and inspiration.

Book Synopsis Psychotherapy Dropout and Process Variables by : Sebastian Mounetou
Download or read book Psychotherapy Dropout and Process Variables written by Sebastian Mounetou and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dropout from psychotherapy is a concerning issue in the field. This study uses the Pekarik (1992) definition, which means that dropout is a unilateral decision by the client to abandon therapy against the counsel of the therapist. Viewing dropout and its associations with Readiness/Motivation, Psychological Mindedness and Therapeutic Alliance may help understand why the rates are so high. Using a 3 items of an online survey, this study analyses the reported intensity and timing of dropout from mental health facilities across Texas. The second part of this study was a mini-meta analysis used to interpret the association between Therapeutic Alliance and dropout in the current literature. Study 1 found that the three factors were significantly associated with each other specifically that the factors were reported being Low when dropping out. The analysis viewing the factors and their timing of dropout did not find any significant results but did show promising tendencies for future research. The mini-meta analysis was not significant but showed a mean weighted effect size of d = -.16. The effect size is in the opposite direction, showing that those who dropped out had more therapeutic alliance. Future studies would be needed to delve deeper into the literature and find more significant results.

Book Synopsis Advances in Clinical Child Psychology by : Benjamin B. Lahey
Download or read book Advances in Clinical Child Psychology written by Benjamin B. Lahey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologists have long been interested in the problems of children, but in the last 20 years this interest has increased dramatically. The in tensified focus on clinical child psychology reflects an increased belief that many adult problems have their origin in childhood and that early treatment is often more effective than treatment at later ages, but it also seems to reflect an increased feeling that children are inherently important in their own right. As a result of this shift in emphasis, the number of publications on this topic has multiplied to the extent that even full-time specialists have not been able to keep abreast of all new developments. Researchers in the more basic fields of child psychol ogy have a variety of annual publications and journals to integrate research in their areas, but there is a marked need for such an integra tive publication in the applied segment of child and developmental psychology. Advances in Clinical Child Psychology is a serial publication designed to bring together original summaries of the most important developments each year in the field. Each chapter is written by a key figure in an innovative area of research or practice or by an individual who is particularly well qualified to comment on a topic of major contemporary importance. Each author has followed the stan dard format in which his or her area of research was reviewed and the clinical implications of the studies were made explicit.

Book excerpt: First published in 1985. Over the past several decades psychotherapy has evidenced enormous activity without demonstrating much change.
