摘要:

A review of the empirical literature on sex differences in dependent personality disorder (DPD) prevalence rates indicates that, contrary to the assertions of the DSM‐IV, women receive DPD diagnoses at significantly higher rates than do men. Research in this area further suggests that sex differences In DPD prevalence rates are due in part to men's unwillingness to acknowledge dependent feelings, attitudes, and behaviors In interviews and on self‐report tests. Variations in the magnitude of sex differences obtained with different types of dependency measures are reviewed, and the value of implementing a muftimodal approach to assessing dependency in research and clinical settings is discus

摘要:

In contemporary psychosocial treatment research, the test of the efficacy of standardized treatment manuals predominates in respectability relative to naturalistic research on the process components of flexible treatments, though the latter strategy is necessary for the empirical identification of effective process components. Standardizing a treatment constrains the variance of process variables and, thereby, attenuates the manifestation of potential correlations. Research is reviewed, providing evidence for several unexpected deleterious or moderating effects of utilizing standardized treatment manuals. We conclude that naturalistic research using flexible treatments is necessary for making the development of treatment manuals, and their modification, a truly scientific process.

摘要:

In this article we summarize findings from our program of research (the Oregon Adolescent Depression Project) as they pertain to the suicidal behavior of older (14–18‐year‐old) adolescents. Specifically, we (a) present information regarding the epidemiology of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts (e.g., prevalence, incidence, onset age, methods, severity); (b) describe the psychosocial characteristics associated with past and future suicide attempts, in comparison to depression; (c) discuss issues relevant to assessment and screening, including our development of a new assessment instrument, the Life Attitudes Schedule; (d) share recommendations gained from our experience in providing treatment for depressed adolescents, approximately 40% of whom had made a suicide attempt; and (e) identify gaps in current knowledge for which more research is n

摘要:

Psychotherapy integration is an approach to treatment that goes beyond any single theory or set of techniques. The history of the psychotherapy integration movement is described, along with several approaches to integration that have been developed. We then describe our assimilative approach, based on a psychodynamic model but incorporating techniques from various active approaches to treatment. A case history is provided illustrating the model that we describe.

摘要:

Some of the main points discussed and elaborated on in this article are as follows: (a) There appear to be no data to support the notion that a combination of different theories can result in a more robust therapeutic technique, (b) It is techniques, not theories, that are actually used on people, (c) The effectiveness of specific techniques may have no bearing on the theories that begot them, (d) Different treatment combinations should be tried only when well‐documented methods do not exist for a particular disorder or when proven techniques are not achieving the desired results, (e) When using behavioral or psychoanalytic techniques one is not necessarily practicing behavior therapy or psychoanalytic therapy. The emphasis throughout is on avoiding confusing and specious conclusion

摘要:

Combinations of treatment are used increasingly in child and adolescent therapy research, following a pattern long evident in clinical practice. The present article evaluates the multiple influences leading to the use of combined treatments, different ways in which treatments are combined, and challenges that combined treatments raise for research and practice. The central thesis is that combined treatments are unlikely to contribute to treatment outcome unless there are significant changes in the way research is conceptualized and conducted. Limitations in methods of combining treatment, the absence of explicit and empirically defensible decision rules for individually tailored treatments, perpetuation of current limitations in the ways treatments are tested and delivered, and methodological obstacles for evaluating combined treatments are used to bolster the thesis. Recommendations are made for Improving research on combined treatments, such as investigating the decision‐making process guiding the combinations of treatment, the constituent techniques that are used to form combinations, novel models of delivering services to bolster outcome, and processes and mechanisms of therapeutic chang
