Using Metaanalysis to Evaluate Evidence: Practical Tips and Traps [INFLUENTIAL PUBLICATIONS]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Although practising evidence-based medicine is the goal of most physicians, it can be a real challenge to sift through the vast body of data to determine the best strategies. Most clinical guidelines regard replicated randomized controlled trials (RCTs), metaanalyses, and systematic reviews as the highest level of evidence to support treatment recommendations. High-quality metaanalyses can overcome many of the drawbacks of individual RCTs and qualitative reviews. They can reduce bias, provide adequate power to demonstrate real differences in outcomes, and resolve the results of inconsistent studies. This paper focuses on b...

Brief Psychotherapy at the Bedside: Countering Demoralization From Medical Illness [INFLUENTIAL PUBLICATIONS]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Bedside psychotherapy with medically ill patients can help counter their demoralization, which is the despair, helplessness, and sense of isolation that many patients experience when affected by illness and its treatments. Demoralization can be usefully regarded as the compilation of different existential postures that position a patient to withdraw from the challenges of illness. A fruitful interviewing strategy is to discern which existential themes are of most concern, then to tailor questions and interventions to address those specific themes. Illustrative cases show how such focused interviewing can help patients cope...

Adult Attachment Patterns and Individual Psychotherapy: A Review [INFLUENTIAL PUBLICATIONS]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article outlines the theory and measurement of individual differences in adult attachment, and the relevance of such adult attachment patterns to psychotherapy. It then offers a review and discussion of empirical findings regarding the effects of client and therapist attachment patterns on process and outcome in individual psychotherapy with adults. Empirical studies have linked adult attachment patterns to differences in client and therapist in-treatment behaviour, to differences in the quality and development of the therapeutic alliance, and to differences in therapeutic outcome. Although empirical studies on the su...

Treatment-resistant Depressed Patients Show a Good Response to Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy [INFLUENTIAL PUBLICATIONS]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a class-based programme designed for use in the prevention of relapse of major depression. Its aim is to teach participants to disengage from those cognitive processes that may render them vulnerable to future episodes. These same cognitive processes are also known to maintain depression once established, hence a clinical audit was conducted to explore the use of MBCT in patients who were currently actively depressed, and who had not responded fully to standard treatments. The study showed that it was acceptable to these patients and resulted in an improvement in depression sco...

Specific recommendations for future studies are outlined, and the clinical and theoretical significance of this research is discussed. (Reprin...

Conclusions: Structured treatments improve outcomes for individuals with borderline personality disorder.

Mentalization-based treatment is relatively undemanding in terms of training so it may be useful for implementation into general mental health services. Further evaluations by independent research groups are now required. (Reprinted with permission from American Journal of Psychiatry 2009; 166:1355–1364) (Source: FOCUS)

Emotion-Focused Therapy: A Clinical Synthesis [CLINICAL SYNTHESIS]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A summary of an emotion-focused approach to therapy (EFT) and its research base is presented. In this view, emotion is seen as foundational in the construction of the self and is a key determinant of self-organization. People, as well as simply having emotion, also live in a constant process of making sense of their emotions. In EFT, distinctions between different types of emotion provide therapists with a map for differential intervention. Six major empirically supported principles of emotion processing guide therapist interventions and serve as the goals of treatment. A case example illustrates how the principles of EFT ...

Beyond the Supportive-Expressive Continuum: An Integrated Approach to Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in Clinical Practice [CLINICAL SYNTHESIS]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A psychotherapy that is based on psychodynamic principles uses an understanding of unconscious processes in order to help patients with problematic feelings and behaviors. This can involve making patients more aware of their unconscious thoughts and feelings (expressive goal) and supporting weakened ego functions (supportive goal). These two techniques have generally been considered either completely separate types of psychotherapy, or two ends of the "expressive/supportive continuum." Instead, we suggest that all psychodynamic psychotherapies use both of these techniques in an oscillating way depending on the moment-to-mo...

In particular, affective disorders including anxiety, depression, and personality disorders are particularly well suited to demonstrate benefit to patients when integrating mindfulness meditation techniques with usual psychotherapies, primaril...

Conclusions. Although the pathophysiological implications of this finding are currently unknown, it is well conveyable that reduced ADAM12 protein contributes to a deviant metabolism of some of its substrates. These substrates are either parts of important signalling cascades (EGF, betacellulin, TGF-beta) or chemical components of myelin (neurofascin-ankyrin) known to be compromised in schizophrenia.

Our country is in the midst of a 15-year "epidemic" of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). There are 6 potential causes for the skyrocketting rates of ADD-- but only 5 have been real contributors. The most obvious explanation is by far the least likely -- that the prevalence of attention deficit problems in the general population has actually increased in the last 15 years. Human nature is remarkably constant and slow to change, while diagnostic fads come and go with great rapidity. We don't have more attention deficit than ever before. . . we just label more attentional problems as mental disorder. (Source: Psychiatric Times)
