Creating Space for Responsiveness
Women’s accounts of treatment for borderline personality disorder in adolescence
Research has established that borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be diagnosed before the age of 18. However, many clinicians are apprehensive about using the diagnosis and treating BPD in adolescence. Specialized treatments have been developed and evaluated for BPD in adolescence. Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) is one of these. However, long-term follow-up studies are lacking, and the potential effects of getting the BPD diagnosis and t…
What is the effect of homework engagement in group cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders and depression
This is the first study to examine the effects of homework engagement on symptoms in group UP and also adds to the limited literature using such methods to isolate the unique effects of treatment engagement on symptom outcomes. Future studies should confirm these results and investigate other relevant aspects of homework engagement, such as the quality of said engagement and process variables such as therapist factors, group cohesion, and negativ…
The Social Drama of Mental Health Professionals who are also Former Mental Health Service Users
Studies indicate that the lived experience of being a mental health service user is common among mental health professionals. However, little is known about how such experiences may influence clinical practice. Through interviews and diary notes from fourteen Danish mental health professionals, we explored how these experiences become part of everyday practices. Data were coded and analyzed following an abductive process incorporating the theory …
Feasibility of trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy for patients with PTSD and psychosis
Studies have shown a high prevalence of trauma and PTSD among patients with severe mental illness, but relatively few studies have examined the outcomes of PTSD treatment for this patient group. The aim of this case-series was to assess the feasibility of a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) intervention for PTSD in people with psychosis. The study examined the possibilities and obstacles when treating this population within cli…
The Depressed" and "People with Anxiety" therapists' discursive representations of patients with depression and anxiety in Danish Psychiatry
Stigmatization within mental health care has previously been identified, and some diagnoses have been shown to be particularly exposed to negative attitudes and stigma. However, no previous studies have explored practitioners' discursive construction of patients with different diagnoses within a transdiagnostic group context. We performed discourse analysis on 12 interviews with Danish mental health practitioners, who had been conducting either t…
Does one treatment benefit all? Patients’ experiences of standardized group CBT for anxiety and depression
Men are not raised to share feelings” Exploring Male Patients’ Discourses on Participating in Group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Existing literature on the psychology of men and masculinity indicates that men face specific mental health difficulties. Overall, men seem more reluctant to seek out mental health services than women. This study explores the ways in which seven male patients talk about their experiences of participating in cognitive-behavioral group therapy in the context of outpatient Danish mental health services. Employing a discourse analytical approach, thi…
Development of Individual Add-On Interventions for Patients With Depression Who are Persistently Not on Track in Group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Introduction: Only about half of the patients treated with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for depression are in remission after treatment. Progress monitoring during therapy, supplemented with clinical support tools, has shown promising results with regard to improving outcome, but results for group psychotherapy are less favourable. Therefore, we propose supplementary individual therapy as a possible solution to lack of progress in group CB…
“Despite the Differences, We Were All the Same”. Group Cohesion in Diagnosis-Specific and Transdiagnostic CBT Groups for Anxiety and Depression
Group cohesion refers to a sense of belonging, mutual support and identification with other group members. Group cohesion has been associated with better outcomes, lower drop-out rates, more interpersonal support and better participation in psychotherapy. Nevertheless, the role of group cohesion in CBT has not yet received much attention. The rationale for delivering CBT in groups is that patients can model themselves through each other due to th…
"Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place"-Between Discourses of Empowerment and Solicitude
Nonattendance constitutes a profound challenge in public sector services targeting young adults with mental health difficulties. Therefore, researchers and practitioners are occupied with trying to resolve this. For clinicians to be aware of their own naturalized and perhaps inappropriate communicative practices, we investigated the established normative organizational logics behind explanations and strategies related to nonattendance. We perform…
