Event Centrality and Bereavement Symptomatology: The Moderating Role of Meaning Made
The centrality of a loss to a bereaved individual's identity is associated with greater symptomatology, whereas meaning made of a loss is associated with positive outcomes. This article examines meaning made as a moderator of the relationship between event centrality and symptomatology. Our sample consisted of 204 bereaved undergraduate university students. Centrality was assessed using the Centrality of Events Scale, meaning made was assessed us…
Do Financial Literacy Classes Help? An Experimental Assessment in a Low-Income Population
Although programs designed to increase financial literacy are widely promoted, there is little evidence of their impact on financial knowledge or behavior. The present study used an experimental design to examine the effectiveness of a financial literacy course for low-income individuals receiving services in a nonprofit residential program. Participants were randomly assigned either to a 4-week financial literacy course (n = 17) or a wait-list c…
The effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions for bereaved persons: A comprehensive quantitative review
Previous quantitative reviews of research on psychotherapeutic interventions for bereaved persons have yielded divergent findings and have not included many of the available controlled outcome studies. This meta-analysis summarizes results from 61 controlled studies to offer a more comprehensive integration of this literature. This review examined (a) the absolute effectiveness of bereavement interventions immediately following intervention and a…
Modernist fiction, cosmopolitanism and the politics of community
In Modernist Fiction, Cosmopolitanism, and the Politics of Community, Jessica Berman argues that the fiction of Henry James, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, and Gertrude Stein engages directly with early twentieth-century transformations of community and cosmopolitanism. Although these modernist writers develop radically different models for social organization, their writings return again and again to issues of commonality, shared voice, and exch…
Psychotherapy for the treatment of depression: A comprehensive review of controlled outcome research
Previous quantitative reviews of research on the efficacy of psychotherapy for depression have included only a subset of the available research or limited their focus to a single outcome measure. The present review offers a more comprehensive quantitative integration of this literature. Using studies that compared psychotherapy with either no treatment or another form of treatment, this article assesses (a) the overall effectiveness of psychother…

Does professional training make a therapist more effective
Jeffrey S. Berman and Nicholas C. NortonUniversity of Texas at AustinIn a recent review, Hattie, Sharpley, and Rogers (1984) concluded that patientstreated by paraprofessional therapists improve more than those treated by profes-sionals. However, this provocative conclusion is based on inappropriate studies andstatistical analyses. The present review omitted problematic studies and organizedthe data to permit valid statistical inference. Unlike H…
The efficacy of cognitive behavior therapies: A quantitative review of the research evidence
The efficacy of cognitive behavior therapies: A quantitative review of the research evidence
The efficacy of cognitive behavior therapies was assessed in a quantitative review. Analysis based on 48 studies indicated that cognitive behavior therapies were superior to no treatment; however, there was no firm evidence that these therapies were superior to other psychotherapies. Our analyses failed to find cognitive behavior therapies emphasizing behavioral techniques to be more effective than primarily cognitive approaches. Also, the effica…
