In a Randomized Controlled Study on the treatment of Major Depression, three patients showing reliable increase in symptom severity on the BDI-II pre-to-post therapy were selected.

Within-case idiosyncratic differences revealed that the statistical classification of \"deterioration\" not necessarily corresponds to a \"deteriorated experience,\" nor univocally indicates unwanted therapy effects. Our findings point at the influences of the patient's (lack of) agency in the process, a discrepancy between patients' expectations and the therapy offer, the therapeutic relationship, interpersonal difficulties, and contextual influences.Conclusion: The meaning of symptomatic deterioration should be interpreted within a patient's idiosyncratic context.

Methods: Validation data were gathered from 151 mental health clinicians. These clinicians completed the CARE scales alongside measures capturing sociodemographic and professional details, patient demographics and clinical details, therapeutic intervention characteristics, therapeutic relationship elements, and session outcomes. Results: The CARE scales had a three-factor structure: positive engagement (k = 5, ω = .78), enmeshed (k = 5, ω = .72), and stuck (k = 5, ω = .71). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) yielded the following fit indices for the three-factor model: χ2(87) = 120.41, CFI = .94; TLI = .93, RMSEA = .05, and SRMR = .08. Multigroup CFA (which pooled two samples for a total of 607 subjects) showed that the CARE scales were invariant across remote and in-person session formats. The scales showed meaningful correlations with concurrent measures of working alliance, real relationship, countertransference, patient's experience of the therapeutic relationship, and session outcome. Discussion: The CARE scales are a valuable instrument in clinical, training, and research contexts, adept at capturing clinicians' session-level affective responses and perceptions of the therapeutic relationship. Quantifying these reactions facilitates statistical analysis and empirical research, while their monitoring can guide therapeutic interventions and inform clinical supervision.","PeriodicalId":48159,"journal":{"name":"Psychotherapy Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143504521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transcripts were analysed using an interpretive phenomenological framework.Results: Three pathways of change were identified: (1) the ability to be present in life, (2) ways of approaching internal conflicts and (3) the degree of ownership of the self. These pathways illustrate the initial steps towards integration, in which participants start recognizing and confronting previously avoided emotions and experiences. This allows them to better tolerate and accept more of themselves. Processes varied among the participants, with some achieving cohesive integration of challenging memories.Conclusion: Traditionally, there has been little treatment optimism for individuals with CDD. This study highlights the potential for comprehensive change within 2 years. It contributes to the debate on whether focusing on coping strategies delays trauma memory integration, emphasizing the need for a balance between exposure and coping based on the patient's capacity.","PeriodicalId":48159,"journal":{"name":"Psychotherapy Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143450054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thematic analysis was used to generate themes related to participants' experiences. Three cases were selected to illustrate the structure of the themes.Results: The main theme, \"AOIs: Potential for active engagement,\" was constituted by seven subthemes concerning the influence of ROM, therapeutic collaboration, shared decision-making, allowing for person-tailored interventions, and the dynamic between group and individual sessions. The potential for active engagement was nurtured through flexible awareness, as patients shifted between a first-person perspective and an external perspective on their therapy process.Conclusion: Individual AOIs, prompted by patient feedback, could create opportunities for reflection and engagement. However, the impact was shaped by the therapeutic relationships, the shared decision-making process, and the extent to which the AOIs offered complementary approaches to group psychotherapy.","PeriodicalId":48159,"journal":{"name":"Psychotherapy Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classification trees may offer simple, accessible, and practical solutions to identifying patients at-risk of dropout by synthesizing potentially complex patterns of relationships among intake measures.Method: Intake variables were collected from day-patients who attended a Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) group program at a private psychiatric hospital between 2015 and 2019. Based on these variables, two classification trees were trained and tested to predict dropout in (1) a weekly group, and (2) an intensive daily program.Results: Dropout was lower in the intensive treatment (Weekly CBT = 21.9%, Daily CBT = 13.2%), however, in both programs, the number of comorbid diagnoses was the most important factor predicting dropout. Overall balanced accuracy was comparable for both tree models, with the Weekly CBT model identifying 63.18% of dropouts successfully, and the Daily CBT model identifying dropouts with 62.06% accuracy.Conclusion: Findings suggest that comorbidity may be the most important factor to consider when assessing dropout risk in CBT, and that dropout can be predicted with moderate accuracy early in therapy via simple models. Furthermore, findings suggest that condensed, intensive treatments may bolster patient retention.","PeriodicalId":48159,"journal":{"name":"Psychotherapy Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143257033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therapist Out-of-MATRIX utterances, indicating a deviation from core therapeutic focus, were examined for their predictive value. Outcome measures included the next-session alliance and patient functioning scores. Two machine-learning-based models, using the Random Forest algorithm, predicted session-by-session changes in clinical outcomes based on MATRIX codes, and interpreted using the SHapley Additive exPlanations.Results: Therapist Out-of-MATRIX utterances accurately predicted next-session changes in alliance and patient functioning scores. Our model also identified an optimal dose-effect relationship for the number of Out-of-MATRIX interventions needed for effective therapy session.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential of using contemporary research tools to analyze therapeutic discourse, revealing how psychotherapy produces its benefits.

Method: Ninety-five patients participating in a randomized control trial were assessed for BPD (N = 9) using the Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality. 1367 video-taped sessions were analyzed for MS using Motion Energy Analysis. Session effectiveness was evaluated following each session using a one-item scale taken from the Helping Skills Measure. Multilevel models were used to assess whether BPD severity predicted MS throughout treatment, and whether MS predicted session effectiveness. Results: Patients with more severe BPD symptoms experienced greater strengthening in MS throughout treatment. Less MS strengthening was associated with less session effectiveness.
