Effect Of Treatment

Group therapy for multiple addictions, pathological gambling and drug dependency, has not yet been empirically validated. This study assesses the outcome of group therapy conducted with 8 gamblers and 16 substance users. Using a concurrent nested design, the study evaluates the effect of treatment on the reduction and/or elimination of the addictive behaviour. In order to better understand the findings, the study examined participants’ perceptions of group cohesion and their opinions on having a diversity of addiction problems within the group. The presence of specific therapeutic elements associated with cognitive behaviour therapy for pathological gambling was evaluated. The results suggest that 62% of the participants achieved their therapeutic objectives through the therapy. The achievement of therapeutic objectives is associated with the perception of a strong connection within the group. The participants did not appear to have had a positive opinion of the diversity of addiction problems within the group. Finally, it appears that the specific elements of cognitive behavioral therapy for pathological gambling, such as gambling specific information and cognitive restructuring of gambling distorted beliefs, are not presented to the gamblers in these groups. The study results demonstrate the need to re-examine the use of group therapy including gamblers and drug addicts, and further avenues of study are proposed.Résumé Les traitements en groupe incluant des problématiques de dépendance variées (GPDV), de jeu d’argent pathologique (JAP) et de toxicomanie, ne font pas l’objet actuellement de validation empirique. Conséquemment, la présente étude évalue les retombées des traitements en GPDV auprès de 8 joueurs et de 16 toxicomanes. Par un devis mixte de type simultané imbriqué, l’étude évalue les retombées du traitement sur l’atteinte des objectifs thérapeutiques de réduction ou de cessation du comportement de dépendance. Afin d’esquisser une piste explicative à ces retombées, l’étude examine également la force de la cohésion perçue et l’appréciation de l’hétérogénéité des problématiques de dépendance au sein du groupe. La présence de composantes spécifiques associées au traitement cognitif-comportemental du JAP est évaluée. Les résultats indiquent que 62 % des participants ont atteint leurs objectifs thérapeutiques après le traitement. L’atteinte des objectifs thérapeutique est associée à la perception d’une forte cohésion au sein du groupe. L’hétérogénéité des problématiques de dépendance au sein du groupe apparait peu appréciée des participants. Finalement, il semble que les composantes spécifiques du traitement du JAP ne sont pas présentées aux joueurs de ces groupes. À échéance, l’étude démontre la nécessité d’avoir une réflexion sur le recours au traitement en GDPV pour les joueurs et les toxicomanes et des pistes de recherches sont proposées.

Therapy Sessions

From a list of 214 patients suffering from panic and agoraphobia and who had been treated with cognitive behaviour therapy, 30 patients who had very good outcomes and 32 who had poor outcomes were selected. The groups were selected by the nurse therapist and psychiatrist on the basis of personal knowledge of the patients. The distinction into good and poor outcome groups was confirmed by the results of a follow-up questionnaire completed by the patient. Of several clinical and demographic variables which had been hypothesized, to be predictors of outcome, only depression, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory, mastery, as measured by the Pearlin Mastery Scale and the number of group therapy sessions attended predicted outcome. Levels of depression and mastery might be clinically modifiable variables which affect the outcome of treatment for patients with panic and agoraphobia.

Iranian clinical psychologists have devised family therapy methods, based on cognitive behavioral models, fitting their collectivist, Islamic culture. We review Islamic-based strategies and describe family therapy in a culturally-specific childhood OCD case. In %80 of adults diagnosed with OCD, obsession is observed to have started in childhood and adolescence. Studies showed that cognitive-behaviour therapy, although efficient in treatment of OCD, fails in the case of children, due to their limited cognitive ability and their lower level of development. On the other hand, since children's response to medication cannot be anticipated, and because of the side-effects and the probability of recurrence after termination of medication, parents do not agree to medical treatment for their children. The purpose the present research was therefore designed to investigate the efficiency of family therapy based on cognitive behavioral approach in treatment of OCD case. The family therapy techniques used in this study are encounter, self-reporting, relaxation, modeling, and positive thinking. The OCD client was studied and exposed to the method. The results showed that the family therapy method using integrated, religious-based cognitive behavioral therapy, seems more appropriate for clients from collectivist, religious cultures. The final part of the research discusses the findings in relation to those of the previous studies.

AbstractBackground:Although internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) is an effective treatment for social anxiety disorder (SAD), a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve clinically significant improvement. More research is needed to identify which factors predict treatment adherence and outcomes.Aims:The aims of this study were to (1) identify demographic and clinical factors associated with treatment adherence and outcomes in ICBT for social anxiety in China, and (2) explore whether low-intensity therapist support results in improved treatment adherence or outcomes.Method:Participants were assigned to either therapist-guided (N = 183) or self-guided ICBT (N = 72). Level of social anxiety was measured at both pre- and post-treatment. Treatment adherence and outcomes were analysed using a two-step linear and logistic regression approach. Clinical and demographic characteristics were examined.Results:No significant group differences were found for treatment adherence or outcomes between the therapist-guided and self-guided conditions. Participants diagnosed with SAD were significantly less likely to drop out (OR 0.531, p = .03) compared with subclinical participants with social anxiety symptoms. Older participants (B = 0.17, SE = 0.04, p = .008) and participants with a diagnosis of SAD (B = 0.16, SE = 0.44, p = .01) tended to complete more modules. Participants who completed more modules (B = 0.24, SE = 0.03, p = .01) and participants who identified as female (B = –0.20, SE = 0.18, p = .04) reported greater reductions in SAD symptoms.Conclusions:Understanding of factors related to adherence and outcome is necessary to prevent drop-out and optimize outcome.
