A skill-building approach to reducing students’ anxiety and challenging behavior
Anxiety, one of the most common underlying causes of challenging student behavior, typically goes undiscovered and unaddressed through school-based behavior supports. Jessica Minahan and Stuart Ablon combine their expertise as a behavior analyst and a psychologist to outline how best to support students whose anxiety leads to challenging behavior. They describe the role of anxiety in challenging behavior and introduce skill-building approaches th…
The value of implementation frameworks
In the last decade, many implementation frameworks have emerged that consolidate the research on implementation science, guiding purveyors and service agencies in improving implementation of evidence‐based practices (EBPs). In this paper, we describe how the purveyor of one EBP utilized the active implementation frameworks (AIFs) to define and standardize strategies for site‐wide implementation. We illustrate what implementation looked like befor…
An Empirical Comparison of Short-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Processes
There has been increasing demand on psychodynamicially oriented therapists to empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of their interventions, and to associate these interventions with successful therapeutic outcome. Studies focused on psychoanalytic process have identified several process-related variables influencing the nature of the treatment and have demonstrated how therapy process changed over time, along with associations between process…
The Role of the Couch in Psychoanalysis
Ever since Freud, the couch has been viewed as an important—some would argue essential—component of psychoanalysis. Although many theoretical papers and case reports have addressed the use of the couch in psychoanalysis, no empirical study has investigated its effect on psychoanalytic process or outcome. After a review of the literature, a number of research designs are proposed that might be used in such an investigation. Finally, preliminary em…

Patient and Practitioner Influences on the Placebo Effect in Irritable Bowel Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether placebo responses can be explained by characteristics of the patient, the practitioner, or their interpersonal interaction. METHODS: We performed an analysis of videotape and psychometric data from a clinical trial of patients with irritable bowel syndrome who were treated with placebo acupuncture in either a warm empathic interaction (Augmented, n = 96), a neutral interaction (Limited, n = 97), or a waitlist contr…
Psychoanalysis of Avoidant Personality Disorder
Summaries of the Sixth Annual Poster Session of the American Psychoanalytic Association
On Analytic Process
An innovative methodology is presented for identifying and assessing change process in psychoanalytic treatments. Using the Psychotherapy Process Q-set (PQS), a panel of experienced psychoanalysts developed a prototype of an ideal psychoanalytic hour. This prototype was then applied to verbatim transcripts of three archived treatment samples: psychoanalyses, long-term analytic therapies, and brief psychodynamic therapies. The degree to which thes…

Psychotherapy Process
In this comment, J. S. Ablon and C. Marci argue that focusing on the empirical validation of manualized treatment packages misses important information about what is efficacious about a given treatment. Psychotherapy process has demonstrated that treatments may promote change in ways other than their underlying theories claim. Manualized therapies may appear distinct despite important similarities in dyadic interaction. These functional similarit…
