A randomised controlled trial of cognitive behavioural treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder in children and adolescentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this study, we report on a randomised controlled trial of CBT for young people carried out in typical outpatient clinic conditions which focused on cognitions. A randomised controlled trial compares 10 sessions of manualised cognitive behavioural treatment with a 12-week waiting list for adolescents and children with OCD. Assessors were blind to treatment allocation. 21 consecutive patients with OCD aged between 9 and 18 years were recruited. The group who received treatment improved more than a comparison group who waited for 3 months. The second group was treated subsequently using the same protocol and...

Patients with problematic opioid use can be weaned from codeine without pain escalationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Brief treatments for chronic non-malignant pain patients with problematic opioid use are warranted. The aims of the present study were to investigate (1) whether it is possible to withdraw codeine use in such patients with a brief cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), (2) whether this could be done without pain escalation and reduction in quality of life and (3) to explore the effects of codeine reduction on neurocognitive functioning. Eleven patients using codeine daily corresponding to 40[ndash]100 mg morphine were included. Two specifically trained physicians treated the patients with six CBT sessions, tapering codeine g...

The neurodevelopmental disabilities of those who were born prematurely have been well described, yet the underlying alterations in brain development that lead to these changes remain poorly understood. Processes that are vulnerable to injury in the developing brain include maturation of oligodendrocyte precursors and genetically programmed changes in cortical connectivity; recent data have indicated that diffuse injury of the white matter accompanied by neuronal and axonal disruption is common in prematurely born infants. Recent advances in MRI include diffusion tensor imaging and sophisticated image analysis tools, such a...

Rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are exceptionally high among asylum-seekers.

Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can be an effective method for treating major depression, but it often works best when therapist support is provided in the form of e-mail support or telephone calls.

They included data from two trials involving 10 therapists treating a total of 103 patients. The results of a nested one-way model in which participants were treated as raters for different therapists indicated that measures pertaining to symptom reductio...

Abstract: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) assumes that psychological disorders are characterized by distorted or dysfunctional thinking, and can be treated by working with the patient to modify thinking in the direction of more realistic or adaptive evaluations of events. CBT has been evaluated extensively and is now the first-line treatment of choice for many psychological disorders. It is increasingly being used with people with learning disabilities, although the evidence base with this population is relatively weak, consisting largely of case studies and case series. There are also controlled trials in anger and de...

Using Althusser's notion of interpellation to study the politics of therapeutic practiceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Althusser's distinction between the Absolute, Other Subject and the ordinary human subject has been relatively ignored in the therapeutic literature. This is unfortunate because it offers an unusually clear conceptual tool for analysing the ideological participation - or rather, the participation in societal power dynamics - of therapeutic participants. I argue here that reconceptualizing Althusser's ideas, from a Marxist to a discourse-oriented approach, facilitates an analysis of therapeutic activities as simultaneously micro-psychological and macro-political events.
