{"title":"The effects of intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy on depressive symptoms, negative affect, and emotional repression in single treatment-resistant depression: A randomized controlled trial.","authors":"Rasoul Heshmati, Frederik J Wienicke, Ellen Driessen","doi":"10.1037/pst0000500","DOIUrl":"10.1037/pst0000500","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is theorized to reduce negative affect by challenging patients' defense mechanisms so that they can experience and work through attachment-trauma-related emotions. While ISTDP has been shown to decrease depressive symptoms in single treatment-resistant depression (TRD), it has not been established whether negative affect and emotional repression are reduced, as theorized. Next to depressive symptoms, this retrospectively registered (https://osf.io/v46gy) randomized controlled trial, therefore, examined the effects of ISTDP on emotional repression and negative affect in adults with TRD. Eighty-six adults with major depressive disorder, who had not responded to at least one trial of antidepressants were randomized to 20 sessions of ISTDP (<i>N</i> = 43) or a waitlist control condition (<i>N</i> = 43). Mixed-effect models on the intention-to-treat sample showed that compared to the control condition, ISTDP resulted in significantly lower posttreatment levels of depressive symptoms (<i>d</i> = -1.73), emotional repression (<i>d</i> = -1.91), and negative affect (<i>d</i> = -1.45). Similarly, ISTDP resulted in significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms (<i>d</i> = -2.67), emotional repression (<i>d</i> = -2.69), and negative affect (<i>d</i> = -1.85) at the 3-month follow-up. These results support the evidence base of ISTDP by showing that it can decrease depressive symptoms, emotional repression, and negative affect in TRD. Future studies should assess whether these effects are specific to ISTDP.

To date, however, little is known about whether and how such differences can actually be observed at a basic linguistic level and in what the two treatment approaches differ most strongly (i.e., how psychodynamic and CBT therapists differ in what they actually say word-by-word in therapy sessions). Building on theoretical models and previous research that used observer ratings, we formulated specific hypotheses regarding which word categories psychodynamic and CBT therapists who treat patients with an eating disorder should differ in. To investigate these hypotheses, we used verbatim transcripts from 297 therapy sessions of a randomized controlled trial in which patients with anorexia nervosa (<i>n</i> = 88) received either focal psychodynamic therapy (FPT) or CBT. These transcripts were then examined using computerized quantitative text analysis. In line with our hypotheses, we found that CBT therapists overall spoke more than their FPT counterparts and that they used more words related to eating. Also in line with our hypotheses, FPT therapists used more words related to social processes. Contrary to our expectations, CBT therapists did not show a stronger focus on the future but talked more about emotions than FPT therapists. The latter effect, however, appears to be driven by a stronger focus on positive emotions. These findings suggest that computerized quantitative text analysis can differentiate meaningful language characteristics of CBT and FPT on spoken-word level and that it holds potential as a tool for researchers and therapists.

Thus, it is important to gain a better understanding of the clinical practices that facilitate children’s involvement in therapy sessions so that practitioners can employ them with greater precision. To address this need, we conducted a study to answer the following question: What clinical practices facilitate children’s in-session involvement in child and family therapies? The data consisted of 16 extant audiovisual recordings of child and family therapy sessions and 24 stimulated-recall interviews with the participants in the recordings. Following constructivist grounded theory and incorporating storyline as an additional analytical technique, we have constructed a framework consisting of four involvement-enhancing practices: managing time, staying relevant, adjusting intensity, and facilitating inclusion. Furthermore, by detailing some of the complex processes that practitioners navigate when they facilitate children’s involvement, our study adds a multi-layered and dynamic dimension to the list of already established involvement facilitators. It may be used to moderate an over-standardized work culture that continues to characterize services that address children’s needs. The results may be applied to other institutional encounters, providing resonance beyond the analyzed therapy sessions.","PeriodicalId":20910,"journal":{"name":"Psychotherapy","volume":"14 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135972761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
