摘要:

Training and practice within British clinical psychology are profoundly influenced by the belief that behavioural psychotherapy has been shown as more effective than verbal psychotherapy in the treatment of disorders for which both claim utility. A review of the comparative outcome evidence shows that this belief is largely unfounded. Taken together with the growing theoretical convergence between verbal and behavioural approaches, this negative result from comparative outcome studies has important implications for the future development of psychotherapy research, training and practice. More precise and sophisticated research strategies are required to identify the therapeutic ingredients of the psychotherapies, whether these be common to many approaches or specific to particular treatment modes. Closer integration between clinical and research activities in all forms of psychotherapy is necessary. Clinical psychologists should be trained in a variety of behavioural and verbal methods, and in the research methodologies necessary to evaluate and develop these methods. If the challenge of the present state of evidence is not evaded, then we may eventually supersede crude global comparisons, with precise specification of interventions appropriate for given populations.

摘要:

Psychotherapists frequently receive unsolicited written communications from their patients. Surprisingly, this phenomenon has received scant attention in the literature. This paper suggests possible reasons, and offers a conceptual framework for understanding and using such material in treatment.

摘要:

In the study of psychodynamic psychotherapy few attempts have been made to operationalize and quantify constructs derived from psychoanalytic theory. This study operationalizes the phenomena of impulse, anxiety and defence as they appear in therapist interpretative statements. It extends D. Malan's work in this area and uses his original data.

摘要:

This paper is concerned with an attempt to return to the earliest principles of the phenomenological method by exploring the psychology of Erwin Strauss, with particular reference to his studies of schizophrenia. Strauss's analysis of the peculiarly subjective relationship between the schizophrenic and the no‐longer‐neutral outside world is particularly investigated with specific reference to the physiognomic quality of everyday experience. It is suggested that the existential categories utilized in this method can offer an additional perspective in the attempt to explore the world of the schizophrenic; particularly in understanding his idiosyncratic fears and his autistic I‐world interpret

摘要:

The paper presents the results of a behavioural programme designed to increase social interaction and activity in the locked ward of a psychiatric hospital. The intervention used a method of information feedback to staff to encourage them to make informed choices of targets and methods of change. The rationale was that this would enhance generalization and programme maintenance. Evidence is presented to show the extent of change obtained after 6 months.

摘要:

A comparison of hypnotic analgesia, frontalis electromyographic feedback, and frontalis electromyographic feedback in conjunction with Jacobson progressive relaxation for treating chronic prefrontal muscle contraction headache was done. There were four 1‐hour treatment sessions for each type, and a follow‐up. Measures were the number of headache hours per week, a subjective estimate of pain intensity, and an objective ratio of pain intensity found by using the submaximum tourniquet technique. No significant differences were found between treatments on these dependent measures, although all produced significant change in the desired direction. The current study utilized 48 patients with chronic prefontal headache, and was performed in a clinical situation. Certain responses to the Headache Questionnaire used in screening were significantly correlated with improvement in headache. The current study controlled for class of medication the patient may have been taking for headache, thereby giving a more realistic assessment of the effectiveness of psychological treatments in a cli

摘要:

The internal reliability of the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire and its component subscales has been checked by means of principal components analyses of data on 256 normal subjects. The subscales (with the possible exception of Hysteria) were found to contribute to the general underlying factor of psychoneurosis. In general, the principal components analysis points to the reliability of the subscales, despite some item overlap.

摘要:

Fifteen obsessive‐compulsive patients and 15 normal controls were tested with a repertory grid of standard form. The patient group was not more monolithic than normals in cognitive structure (Makhlouf‐Norris&Norris, 1973) but was clearly differentiated from normals and from Ryle&Breen's (1972) general neurotic grid portrait by a very negative, isolated and extreme view of the s

摘要:

The so‐called mystical possession of Juan Jose Fong, a socially marginal Chinese‐Mexican of hysterical personality is directly related to the subject's psychological conflicts and emotional complexes and familial and social standing within the immediate cultural context. The subject is seen as suffering from conflicting emotions and cognitions centering around guilt, inferiority and non‐acceptance by his peer group. The personification of his personal problems in the motif of spirit possessions enables the subject to maintain a measure of self‐esteem, social status and personality inte

摘要:

A review of the literature on the phenomenon of the double is presented. The reasons for the use of the term heautoscopy instead of the more widely used autoscopy are given. The phenomenological characteristics of the phenomenon differentiate heutoscopic depersonalization from heautoscopic delusion. A case of the former is reported and an example of the delusional form is quoted.
