The present study explored predictors of the duration of therapy exclusive of outcome utilizing data on 77 patients at St. John's University Center for Psychological Services. Measures of time in therapy were the total number of sessions attended and the number of sessions attended within the first six months of therapy. A bivariate Pearson product-moment correlation matrix was constructed, comprised of measures for time in therapy, severity of s…

The Complexity of Sexuality
Recent genetic and environmental theories of the etiology of homosexuality are evaluated. Interactive theory is proposed as a better alternative for understanding the development of sexual identity and sexual preference
Development of the ethnic unconscious.
The ethnic unconscious is conceptualized as repressed material shared by each generation with the next and with most people of that ethnic group. The material is derived from identifications that form ethnic character. Given limited attention in the past, the concept is gaining increased visibility and vitality as part of the total self to be analyzed. Attention is drawn to the role of the ethnic unconscious in the analytic process and its value …

Urban Poverty, Ethnicity, and Personality Development
There are multiple factors which contribute to the development of the individual’s personality. Many of these factors have been amply discussed in traditional theories of personality Jonnation. An area that has been neglected in these discussions has been the role that poverty and ethnic and cultural factors may have in this regard. This paper offers a discussion of these issues with special emphasis on cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic factors…

Sources of Family Violence
AbstratThis paper suggests a direction for the exploration of the causes of family violence. Explanatory models offamily violence were considered in this regard, with the recommendation that a multi-determined model should be considered to ensure the most accurate explanation. We suggest that family violence will be best understood and prevented or alleviated, if a model is used that considers the interaction of structural violence and the person…
Introduction to the Special Issue on a Multicultural View of Domestic Violence
Introduction to Another Special Issue on a Multicultural View of Domestic Violence
Since our publication of the special issue on a multicultural perspective on domestic violence by this journal (Vol. 3, No. 1, 1994), there has been an explosion of media coverage about this issue, partly precipitated by the O. J. Simpson story. Following the sensational coverage on television of the minute details of that incident, it appears that the number of reports of domestic violence increased substantially, and the society experienced a p…
The Dynamics of Managed Mental Health Care
Presented here is an exploration of the motivations involved in the development and application of managed mental health care to the private practice of outpatient psychotherapy. The interaction of management policy and psychotherapy is conceptualized in a dynamic model designed to provide insights into effective care policies. The model is described first, then the development of managed care, which appears defensive and is becoming symptomatic …

A review of the various etiological possibilities for child abuse and neglect, designed to offer an additional and different possibility. Consideration is first given to problems, namely the lack of universal definition, heterogeneous effects, and retrospective research. The probability of multifactor models is noted, and sexual abuse is given separate consideration, followed by an exploration of the existing models termed ecological, transaction…

The Supervisory Relationship in Psychotherapy over Time
This study investigated changes in the supervisors' and supervisees' perceptions of the supervisory relationship and the extent to which their perceptions were congruent. Salient dimensions of supervision were identified which predict the quality of the relationship. Twelve supervisory dyads involved in predominantly ongoing supervisory relationships completed an adapted Vanderbilt Psychotherapy Process Scale after each supervisory session for 10…
Changes during the Course of the Psychotherapeutic Relationship
Changes in the therapeutic relationship over time were explored using the Therapy Session Report for 30 patients and six therapists at an out-patient clinic. 11 patients dropped out after the third session, while the continuing group consisted of 19 patients for whom sessions ranged from 5 to 33. Significant differences on both patient and therapist evaluations were found between the dropout and continuing groups, there being high agreement from …
Psychotherapists' Religious Beliefs and Their Perception of the Psychotherapy Process
In a comparison of religious and nonreligious psychotherapists' perceptions of a portion of a psychotherapeutic session no significant differences were found on the Vanderbilt Psychotherapy Process Scale for four groups of therapists designated according to their scores on three religious questionnaires. While the results suggest attitudes toward religion are not reflected in therapists' practice of psychotherapy, limitations of the study indicat…
Fee Practices of Different Psychotherapeutic Orientations
As part of a larger study on the relationship between therapists' and their patients' attitudes toward money (Sitkowski, 1989), descriptive data were gathered on fee practices for three theoretical orientations. This is of interest because fee surveys do not customarily perform an analysis by theoretical orientation. In this case there were 45 therapists, 15 psychodynamic, 15 behavioral, and 15 eclectic. The categories were based on concurrence b…

The Disease Controversy
This discussion explores the controversy surrounding the term, “mental disease,” and attempts to resolve the issues involved. These issues are accuracy of the term, relationship between the name used and treatment agents. “Mental disease” is accepted as an accurate term describing a relationship between experiential structure and adjustive behavior, distinguishing it from physical disease and separating it from the exclusive control of an individ…
Effects of Training in Therapy on Trainees' Attitudes
Two preliminary investigations of what happens to trainee attitudes as a result of therapy supervision for a short period of time are reported; in both studies attitude change was negligible. A third study, currently in progress, measures changes over a longer duration
Trainees' Impressions of Psychotherapy and Psychotherapists
128 advanced graduate students in clinical and school psychology programs were administered incomplete sentences to determine their impressions of psychotherapy and psychotherapists. The main concern of the psychology students was improving the results of the psychotherapies. They considered the therapist's personality the major vehicle for doing this, though attention was also given to cognitive factors. Some comparisons were made with practicin…
Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Schizophrenia Research
31 articles on schizophrenia published during the first half of 1975 in four representative journals are thoroughly examined. The aim is to develop significant procedures and directions for subsequent research. The areas covered in order of frequency are thought disorder, responsiveness, methodology, treatment, and etiology. Such an approach provides a relatively rapid yet indicative overview of current trends. There are numerous methodological r…
Perspectives on Radical Therapy
Radical therapy is explored through its definition, assumptions, and limitations. An evaluation is offered placing it in a perspective of contributing to psychotherapists' recognition of the possible role of society in fostering emotional problems
New Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Treatment of a Homosexual Male
This paper is an exploration by four psychotherapists of the probable and actual treatment of a homosexual male in psychotherapy with one of the therapists. A brief case of description is followed by opinions on the ôpathologyö of homosexuality and by discussions of possible psychodynamics, the patientÆs symptoms, and actual treatment process. The authors express optimism for the value of a psychoanalytic model in helping people to attain their d…
Meanings of Sadism and Masochism
The evolution of sadism and masochism from their origins in the 19th century until the present are described. Included are the pain-pleasure conception, dominance-submission, and sadistic and masochistic personality types. The need for differentiating types of sadism and masochism is emphasized

Comparability of Sex-Role Measures
5 current sex-role measures (the Bem Sex-role Inventory, the Personal Attributes Questionnaire, the Personality Research Form Andro Scale, the Masculinity and Femininity scales of the Adjective Checklist, and a set of socially undesirable sex-related characteristics) were compared for three samples. The scales have often been used interchangeably in the past, as they describe sex-role style in similar conceptual and psychometric terms. Yet some d…
Comparison of Process-Reactive Measures in DSM-III Diagnosed Schizophrenics
A comparison was made of the ability of 8 process-reactive measures to predict symptomatic improvement over 3- and 6-mo. time intervals in DSM-III diagnosed schizophrenics. The sample was predominantly process, chronic patients showing little improvement. This in turn appeared to be a function of the DSM-III definition of schizophrenia. The successful predictors were scores on the Maine scales, Social Attainment Scale, and the Prognostic Scale, t…

Therapists' Orientation and Defensive Styles
A relationship was found between therapists' orientations, defenses, and demographics. Three significant canonical variates were derived. The first was a group of men with doctoral degrees using reaction formation and projective style with little doubt or regression and oriented against marathons, physical contact, and expressive techniques. The second featured regression, displacement, doubt, projective style, regressive style, and repression. T…
Validity of Self-Designated Therapeutic Orientation
Comparison of self-designation and scale designation for therapeutic orientation supports the validity of self-designation for psychoanalytic and behavior therapists. The validity is more limited for other broadly defined orientations, such as humanistic
