Therapeutic alliance is associated with treatment outcomes across a diverse range of intervention models and clinical populations. Likewise, the perceived quality of working alliance in adult psychotherapy has been a consistent predictor of engagement, while research with children is limited. This study draws from a sample of 180 children who were involved in a study of the Coping Power preventive intervention for elementary students with aggressive behavior. Approximately 1,080 individual intervention sessions were coded using the Therapeutic Process Observational Coding System (TPOCS-A). Results suggest that bonding, in the early sessions of Coping Power, predicted a reduction in teacher-reported externalizing behaviors. In addition, data analyses revealed that bonding interacted with children’s gender in the latter portions of Coping Power. Higher bonding for girls in later sessions predicted lower teacher-rated externalizing behaviors at 1-year follow-up. Finally, initial levels of aggression moderated the relationship between bond and parent-rated externalizing behaviors during the early and late sessions of Coping Power, with stronger effects for moderately aggressive children. Task orientation, a component of therapeutic alliance, in late sessions had counter-intuitive effect on parent-rated externalizing behaviors, possibly due to therapists’ efforts to impose more structure with children who were not progressing well.

While social science research has demonstrated the importance of culture in shaping psychiatric illness, clinical methods for assessing the cultural dimensions of illness have not been adopted as part of routine care. Reasons for limited integration include the impression that attention to culture requires specialized skills, is only relevant to a subset of patients from unfamiliar backgrounds, and takes too much time to be useful. The DSM-5 Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI), published in 2013, was developed to provide a simplified approach to collecting information needed for cultural assessment. It offers a 16-question interview protocol that has been field tested at sites around the world. However, little is known about how CFI implementation has affected training, health services, and clinical outcomes. This article offers a comprehensive narrative review that synthesizes peer-reviewed, published studies on CFI use. A total of 25 studies were identified, with sample sizes ranging from 1 to 460 participants. In all pilot CFI studies 960 unique subjects were enrolled, and in final CFI studies 739 were enrolled. Studies focused on how the CFI affects clinical practice; explored the CFI through research paradigms in medical communication, implementation science, and family psychiatry; and examined clinician training. In most studies, patients and clinicians reported that using the CFI improved clinical rapport. This evidence base offers an opportunity to consider implications for training, research, and clinical practice and to identify crucial areas for further research.

Mind-body practices that intentionally generate positive emotion could improve health professionals’ well-being and compassion. However, the feasibility and impact of clinician training in these practices is unknown. Data were analyzed from 3 online modules offered to health professionals: ( a) Gratitude, ( b) Positive Word, and ( c) Loving-kindness/Compassion meditation. Paired t tests were used to assess pre- to posttraining changes in gratitude (Gratitude Questionnaire), well-being (World Health Organization Well-Being Index), self-compassion (Neff’s Self-Compassion Scale), and confidence in providing compassionate care (Confidence in Providing Calm, Compassionate Care Scale). The 177 enrollees included diverse practitioners (nurses, physicians, social workers, and others). Training was associated with statistically significant improvements in gratitude (38.3 ± 4.6 to 39.5 ± 3.3), well-being (16.4 ± 4.0 to 17.9 ± 4.2), self-compassion (39.5 ± 8.1 to 43.1 ± 7.6), and confidence in providing compassionate care (73.3 ± 16.4 to 80.9 ± 13.8; P < .001 for all comparisons). Brief, online training appeals to diverse health professionals and improves their gratitude, well-being, self-compassion, and confidence in providing compassionate care.

<p><strong>Background</strong>. Poor blood pressure (BP) control and racial disparities therein may be a function of clinical inertia and ineffective communication about BP care.</p><p><strong>Methods. </strong>We compared two different interventions (electronic medical record  reminder for BP care (Reminder only [RO]), and clinician training on BP care-related communication skills plus the reminder (Reminder + Training, [R+T]) with usual care in three primary care clinics, examining BP outcomes among 8,866 patients, and provider-patient communication and medication adherence among a subsample of 793.</p><p><strong>Results. </strong>Clinician counseling improved most at R+T.  BP improved overall; R+T had a small but significantly greater reduction in diastolic BP (DBP; -1.7 mm Hg). White patients at RO experienced greater overall improvements in BP control. Site and race disparities trends suggested that disparities decreased at R+T, either stayed the same or decreased at Control; and stayed the same or increased at RO. </p><p><strong>Conclusions. </strong>More substantial or racial/ethnically tailored interventions are needed.

Chapter 49 considers Anxiety Online - a 'virtual' online clinical assessment and treatment service, and describes an online clinician training program for online low intensity practitioners (‘etherapists’) to work ‘in’ the Anxiety Online virtual clinic, and the challenges and solutions involved.
