Yet issues such as access to treatments and dropout are ongoing barriers to adequate dissemination and implementation, especially in low resource settings. To this end, we present results on the preliminary effectiveness of a brief prolonged exposure therapy (PE) for PTSD in South Africa, a low resource setting. Based on a case-series design, seven participants (n = 7) from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds were recruited and started a six-session brief PE for PTSD and co-morbid depression and anxiety. To examine the treatment outcomes, participants were assessed at baseline, during treatment, post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up. Overall, brief PE reduced symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety from baseline to post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up. A downward trend in symptoms was evident during treatment, with slight symptom variations during exposure sessions. In conclusion, a six-session brief PE intervention produced positive outcomes for PTSD, depression, and anxiety at two community counseling centers in South Africa. We reflect on the implementation of brief PE in a South African context.","PeriodicalId":46059,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"482 - 497"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/15346501211017989","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44737161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, there are no randomized clinical trials on pica-specific treatments, and very little literature is available regarding the characteristics or treatment of pica in adults with no intellectual or social deficits, and co-morbid disorders. This case study addresses this gap, and involves a highly educated 30 year-old American woman with foam rubber pica and burned match consumption (cautopyreiophagia) behaviors, along with co-morbid depressive, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, who received treatment in a general intensive outpatient program for adults in a large urban community psychiatry setting. The case study describes how the Biosocial Theory and Transtheoretical Model of Health Behavior Change were used to conceptualize this woman’s symptoms and guide a treatment team of clinicians who did not specialize in pica. Providers in non-specialty clinic settings would benefit from reflecting on ways to adapt evidence-based techniques to the treatment of uncommon symptoms.","PeriodicalId":46059,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"468 - 481"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/15346501211014284","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48970663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Newcastle model is a biopsychosocial, person-centerd, approach that aims to support care staff and family members in order to manage BC within care homes by identifying and fulfilling unmet needs of the person with dementia. After outlining its theoretical basis and practical utility, we describe a case study where the Newcastle model has been implemented to manage sexualised behaviors and verbal aggression. The patient described is a lady with dementia residing in a care home where the staff felt unable to manage increasing incidence of these BC. Information from multiple sources was collated to conceptualise the behaviors and understand them in terms of unmet needs, which was followed by a process to develop corresponding practical strategies together with care staff and family. Following successful implementation of the Newcastle model, the care staff reported a reduction in BC on standardised instruments (Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory, and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory). The staff group also described increasing confidence in managing sexualised vocalisations as they had a better understanding with regards to premorbid history and personality, and an increased awareness of the impact of dementia on behavior. Complicating factors relating to staff stress and physical health conditions in older adults are discussed, and adaptations to the model are suggested in order to maintain treatment gains in the long-term.","PeriodicalId":46059,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"452 - 467"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/15346501211012099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45367458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, there are very few cases in existing literature highlighting the effectiveness of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with Pakistani-Americans who have experienced sexual abuse. Due to cultural values, individuals of South Asian descent are less likely to pursue traditional psychotherapy and even far less likely to complete and/or benefit from it. The current case study focused on depression and trauma-related symptoms (e.g., guilt, shame, embarrassment) in the context of repeated sexual abuse for over 20 years. The PTSD Checklist (PCL-5) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) confirmed qualitative reports and therapist observations of improvement. This case suggests a westernized and protocol-driven treatment can be a viable intervention for individuals of SA descent with a history of sexual trauma. A strong therapeutic relationship and open discussion of diversity considerations were necessary for this treatment to work. This case reflects potential support for CPT as a treatment utilized across cultures for trauma-related symptoms.","PeriodicalId":46059,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"435 - 451"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/15346501211011255","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48266755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient was a 47-year-old woman named “Jane” (anonymized name) who was diagnosed with fear of heights (acrophobia) and fear of confined spaces and enclosed areas (claustrophobia). The procedure was a single-case A-B design with several concurrent baselines, pre-post measurements, and two follow-ups (6 and 12 months). For the assessment, there were several questionnaires on anxiety and phobias and the continuous evaluation of anxiety and heart rate during treatment assays for each session. The treatment consisted of eight sessions of progressive multimedia exposure: images, videos, and in vivo settings. The results showed a decrease in the score for pre-post questionnaires (Z = −4.196, p < .0010) and also a total decrease in anxiety in the different baselines (PND 100%). The benefits were maintained during 1 year of follow-up.

To help improve treatment outcomes, individualized psychotherapies based on the individual’s specific problems and preferences that target interpersonal issues and have a longer duration of treatment have been recommended. The current case study follows a man diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder (PDD) and mixed personality features over the course of treatment that used an individualized and phase-based approach. An individualized and extended form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that shared similarities with cognitive-behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP) was implemented to address the potential influence of early adverse life events, dysfunctional ways of thinking about the self and others that leads to increased depressed mood, and the influence of interpersonal situations in and outside the therapeutic relationship. Therapy was conducted in three phases (1. Psychoeducation/introduction to CBT; 2. modified CBT for insomnia and behavioral activation; 3. cognitive restructuring) during 32 weekly sessions over a period of nearly 11 months. Standardized measures administered over the course of treatment indicated significant reductions in depressive symptoms and improvements in self-efficacy. Qualitative reports from the client indicated improved satisfaction and quality of life as well as improved quality of relationships.","PeriodicalId":46059,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"417 - 432"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/15346501211007207","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47824268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treatment challenges are common including the presence of dissociation and comorbidities including depression, traumatic brain injury symptoms, substance misuse, and social transition difficulties. There are currently no standard psychological therapy guidelines for veterans with comorbid presentations. However, as recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence treatment guidelines, adapting existing treatments can improve the chances of successfully treating trauma cases. In line with these recommendations, the current case study describes how the existing individual trauma-focused CBT model was integrated to treat posttraumatic stress disorder with comorbid depression, persistent mild-traumatic brain injury migraine, and social transition difficulties in a 38-year-old male combat veteran. The client attended 16-sessions of trauma-focused CBT. This model integrated his comorbidities and involved his spouse and multidisciplinary discussions with his general practitioner, and neurorehabilitation team and the Veterans’ Transition Service. At the end of treatment, the client no longer met the diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder. This case illustrates how trauma-focused CBT can be integrated to treat comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder in veterans.","PeriodicalId":46059,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"385 - 401"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/15346501211006922","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48321733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
