This article provides an outline of the Dual-Session Tokophobia Intervention (DSTI), an ultrashort exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) protocol that can be delivered by non-mental-health professionals to women in the third term of pregnancy. The detailed description of the intervention is illustrated by a case study that is part of an ongoing clinical trial, targeting the specific needs of women suffering from Tokophobia near term. DSTI is carried out in two sessions (for a total of 4 hours) with a 1-week interval in between. The intervention protocol presented in this article, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to offer treatment specifically for women near term. It aims to decrease anxiety and provide women and their newborns with better obstetric and psychiatric outcomes. The patient presented was screened by the Fear of Birth Scale and a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders. She indicated her Subjective Units of Distress on a list of specific fears related to childbirth, before and after the intervention. Following treatment, the patient showed a 70% decrease in SUDS, a cessation of avoidance and information seeking behaviors, a short labor duration and a subjective experience of being able to calm herself during a difficult birth and concentrate on the delivery process.

The complex issue of treatment attrition is a frequently cited concern regarding CPT and other evidence-based psychotherapies for PTSD. The current study investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of “intensive” CPT, a treatment-consistent modification of CPT in which sessions are conducted more frequently than standard protocol. Fifty-four military veterans (20% female; <em>M</em>_age = 46; 80% Caucasian) seeking outpatient treatment for PTSD were included in this study. Patients who elected to receive intensive CPT (<em>n</em> = 27) were matched with archival records of individuals who received standard CPT (<em>n</em> = 27). Patients across treatment conditions were matched based on baseline symptom severity as measured by the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5; <em>M</em>_PCL-5 = 52.61). Treatment outcomes were compared and longitudinal multilevel modeling was used to compare rate of symptom change over time. Patients who elected to engage in intensive CPT were twice as likely to complete treatment (88.9%) as those who received standard CPT (44.4%), <em>X</em>²(1, <em>N</em> = 54) = 12.00, <em>p</em> = .001. On average, intensive CPT patients completed treatment in about 25% of the time as standard CPT patients (33.8 days vs. 125.7 days). Patients in intensive CPT also demonstrated greater benefit: 81.4% reported a clinically significant improvement in PCL-5 scores compared to 51.8% of those in standard CPT, <em>X</em>²(1, <em>N</em> = 54) = 5.33, <em>p</em> = .020, <em>φ</em> = −0.314. Intensive and standard CPT performed comparably in regard to final PCL-5 score, change over time, and screening cutoff. In addition, there were no differences in treatment outcomes based on licensure status of the provider nor whether treatment was delivered in person or virtually. Intensive CPT represents a novel, treatment-consistent adaptation that was utilized to treat a group of veterans with PTSD with minimal treatment dropout. Patients who elected to engage in more frequent treatment were more likely to complete treatment, did so in one quarter of the time, and reported similar to better treatment outcomes. Providers may consider encouraging their patients to participate in treatment as frequently as they are able. However, preliminary findings are based on a nonrandom sample and design limitations temper conclusions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51511,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48295754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PE and CPT have now been implemented across a range of tempos (e.g., multiple sessions per day across 1 week, one session per day for 3 weeks) and to multiple target populations, in a variety of contexts from individual therapy alone to full intensive outpatient programs. A massed format of treatment delivery has advantages for both patients and providers, including quicker time to recovery, less opportunity for avoidance, and improved treatment completion rates. The time-limited nature of massed treatment also creates accompanying challenges, such as less time to practice homework and greater impact when factors delay or disrupt progress.

Further, evidence-based treatments originally designed for delivery in an outpatient weekly format may require significant adaptation to be appropriate for delivery in acute mental health settings, which differ significantly from weekly outpatient care in program structure, patient acuity, and staffing. In this intervention development and adaptation report, we present the rationale for adapting a transdiagnostic approach to treating emotional disorders—the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C/A)—for a hospital-based, general psychiatric partial hospitalization program. We use implementation science frameworks to describe our iterative approach to treatment adaptation and testing and to describe in detail proactive, planned adaptations to the UP-C/A for partial hospitalization that occurred prior to initial implementation and pilot testing.
