The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies
The rebirth of psychosocial importance in a drug-filled world
In the United States, the public is heavily lobbied to accept medications as the main answer for dealing with mental maladies like depression. However, examination of the empirical evidence reveals that even when drugs are the primary treatments, findings of benefit are often more dependent on psychosocial, interpersonal factors than commonly believed. This article highlights the reemerging worth of psychotherapeutic relationships in quelling emo…
Premature discontinuation in adult psychotherapy
OBJECTIVE: Premature discontinuation from therapy is a widespread problem that impedes the delivery of otherwise effective psychological interventions. The most recent comprehensive review found an average dropout rate of 47% across 125 studies (Wierzbicki & Pekarik, 1993); however, given a number of changes in the field over the past 2 decades, an updated meta-analysis is needed to examine the current phenomenon of therapy dropout. METHOD: A ser…

Defense Mechanism Correlates of Orality
Although there has been a great deal of research assessing behavioral correlates of oral dependency, the defensive style of the oral dependent person remains unexplored. This paper describes two studies investigating the orality--defense mechanism relationship. In the first study, 154 undergraduate subjects (74 males and 80 females) completed the Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI; Gleser and Ihilevich, 1969), and were administered the Group Rorsc…

Examiner's Sex and Children's Rorschach Productivity
Studies with adults have established that sex of examiner and patient can interact to modify the number of Rorschach responses produced. This investigation tested whether sex pairing could also affect children's Rorschach productivity. Research supports the idea that a child's identification with a same-sex adult is heightened between the ages of 6 and 12 yr. It was hypothesized that children in this age range would produce the most responses whe…
The Relationship Between Dependency and the Development of Cancer
Theoretical speculations have raised the possibility that oral-dependent traits may predispose certain individuals to cancer. Alternatively, some have suggested that such traits are more broadly predictive of an array of illnesses. This study sought to test whether dependency characteristics predispose men to illness in general or cancer in particular whether such characteristics have no particular effect on the development of illness. Comparison…
Freud's penis—baby equation
Freud developed the controversial idea that pregnancy has phallic significance for women. He theorized that one aspect of the natural development of femininity involves the substitution of the wish for a baby in place of a desire for a penis. Two exploratory studies are described testing whether there is a link between pregnancy and phallic imagery as Freud's theory indicates. Study I supported such a link by showing that a group of women produce…

Stomach Symptoms and Up-Down Metaphors and Gradients
Previous work demonstrated a relationship in an ulcer patient between stomach pain during psychotherapy sessions and preoccupation with up-down themes. The generality of this phenomenon was investigated by determining in normal males the relationship of number of stomach symptoms to various up-down parameters. A significant positive correlation was found between stomach symptoms and the shifting of horizontal upward. Stomach positive correlation …
Effect of Attitudes toward Women on Sex Attribution
In a search for sources of bias in sex attribution, 88 subjects with liberal and conservative attitudes toward women were compared as to performance on the Sex Attribution Questionnaire. Among women, conservative judges made more inappropriate sex attributions than liberal judges. Liberal judges erred in another way by failing to make sex attributions when they were appropriate. Among men, attitudes toward women had relatively little effect on se…

Sex-Role Development and Response to Medication by Psychiatric In-Patients
This study explored the relationship between sex-role development and response to taking medication by male and female psychiatric inpatients. The major hypotheses were that the more feminine an S's orientation the less resistance he would show to taking medication, the fewer adverse side effects he would report, and the fewer unusual body distortions he would acknowledge. All hypotheses were supported for women, and trends were noted for the sec…
Some Differential Effects of Music on Projective and Structured Psychological Tests
To assess the differential influence of music on psychological test responses, 40 female Ss were randomly assigned to one of two groups who responded to a battery of psychological tests while listening to either exciting or calming music. Ss' responses were more affected on projective than on structured tests. Ss listening to exciting music more frequently told hostile stories and stories with female power themes. With exciting music Ss also drew…
