Texture of Treatment: On the Matter of Psychoanalytic Technique
Promises, oaths, and vows: On the Psychology of Promising
"Civil society rests on the expectation that (most) people will do what they say they will do, i.e., essentially live up to their explicit or implicit promises. It is amazing then, that so little scientific attention has been given to the act of promising. A great deal of research has been done on the moral development of children, but none of it deals with the ability to make and keep a promise. Developmentally, what makes it possible, cognitive…
The Treatment Program at Menninger
In 1946, a small sanitarium treating a few patients and training a few psychiatrists grew suddenly to become one of the largest schools of psychiatry and clinical psychology in the world, accepting classes of 100 psychiatric residents and ten clinical psychology interns. The motive of the federal government in supporting this effort was to train the mental health professionals needed to care for the military returning from World War II. The Menni…
The Process of Interpretation and the Moment of Change
The effectiveness of analytic Interpretation is conditioned by a number of factors within the patient. within the analyst, and within the analytic situation. I will focus on one of these factors, part of the technical activity of the analyst that I will call follow-up interpretation, one which omitted, or even slighted, sharply diminishes the effectiveness of interpretation
Ethnicity and the use of outpatient mental health services in a national insured population
OBJECTIVES. Factors affecting ethnic differences in the use of outpatient mental health services are analyzed in an insured, nonpoor population to determine if lower use by Blacks and Hispanics persists when socioeconomic and other factors are controlled. METHODS. To identify significant predictors of the probability and amount of use, insurance claims data for a population of 1.2 million federal employees insured by Blue Cross/Blue Shield in 198…
The Effect of Insurance Benefit Changes on Use of Child and Adolescent Outpatient Mental Health Services
Use of outpatient mental health services by dependent children younger than 18 years of age enrolled in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employees Plan (FEP) is examined in 1978 and 1983 focusing on a cut in benefits and a shift from high- to low-option plan enrollment between those years. While use rates increased from 2.13% to 2.76% by 1983, the average number of visits decreased from 18.9 to 12.8. High-option plan use exceeded low-option…

Mental health treatment and medical care utilization in a fee-for-service system: Outpatient mental health treatment following the onset of a chronic disease
Charges for medical services of persons covered by the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Federal Employees Program from 1974 through 1978 who were first diagnosed as having one of four chronic diseases in 1975 and within one year began mental health treatment (MHT) were compared with persons who also were first diagnosed as having one of these diseases in 1975 but had no subsequent MHT. In the third year following the diagnosis, those having seven to 20 MHT…
The effect of psychological intervention on recovery from surgery and heart attacks: An analysis of the literature
A quantitative review of 34 controlled studies demonstrates that, on the average, surgical or coronary patients who are provided information or emotional support to help them master the medical crisis do better than patients who receive only ordinary care. A review of 13 studies that used hospital days post-surgery or post-heart attack as outcome indicators showed that on the average psychological intervention reduced hospitalization approximatel…

The Place of Forgetting in Memory Functioning
Tolerance for Unrealistic Experiences: A Study of the Generality of a Cognitive Control
A previous study demonstrated that subjects consistently differed in their willingness to experience perceptual organizations contradicting what they knew to be true. Subsequent work has suggested that these individual differences reflect the operation of more general 'cognitive controls'. Results of the previous study, originally described in terms of 'tolerance' and 'intolerance' for one form of instability, are here conceived as representing a…
