Can social support be improved in people with a severe mental illness? A systematic review and meta-analysis
People with a severe mental illness often have less social support than other people, yet these people need social support to face the challenges in their lives. Increasing social support could benefit the person’s recovery, but it is not clear whether interventions that aim to improve social support in people with a severe mental illness are effective. A systematic literature search and review in MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane, JST…
Client-Rated Working Alliance Quality Relates to Perceptions of Therapists as Trustworthy Experts, Rather Than to Therapists' Positive Nonverbal Behavior

Methods: At the end of psychotherapy sessions 3 and 5, 60 outpatient clients completed the Working Alliance Inventory-client form (WAI-c) and the Counselor Rating Form (CRF) measuring perceived therapists’ social power. At the same time, therapists estimated their clients’ WAI-c ratings (WAI-c-t). Also, frequency/durat…

Alumni of bachelor’s programmes in social work were asked to complete an online survey about SPD. Based on exploratory factor analyses and item analyses, mean scores and standard deviations of SPD activities conducted by social workers were calculated. The results sho…
Logiques des transformations du champ psychothérapeutique en Angleterre, France et Pays-Bas: Spécificité Nationales Et Tendances Communes
Depuis une vingtaine d’années, le champ psychothérapeutique, en France, en Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas, est engagé dans de profondes transformations. Dans une perspective socio-historique, cet article rend compte de trois temps : la formation d’un champ psychothérapeutique spécifique dans chacun des trois pays puis l’extension de la psychothérapie démédicalisée dans les années 1960-70 ; la constitution en priorité de santé publique des troubles co…
The relevance of practice development for professionalisation of social work
This article explores the relevance of Practice Development (PD), as developed in nursing, for fostering practice improvement and the external recognition of social work. The findings of a Delphi study among 17 social work experts reveal that PD in social work is framed as a collective endeavour embedded in a professional learning community of social workers aimed at systematically developing their practice with regard to shared recurring complex…
Youth Initiated Mentors: Do They Offer an Alternative for Out-of-Home Placement in Youth Care
The present study evaluates the Youth Initiated Mentoring (YIM) approach in which families and youth care professionals collaborate with an informal mentor, who is someone adolescents (aged twelve to twenty-three) nominate from their own social network. The informal mentor can be a relative, neighbour or friend, who is a confidant and spokesman for the youth and a co-operation partner for parents and professionals. This approach fits with the int…
The Effectiveness of Art Therapy in the Treatment of Traumatized Adults: A Systematic Review on Art Therapy and Trauma
Art therapy has often been applied in the treatment of traumatized adults, and good results in clinical practice have been reported. However, although art therapy experts underline these benefits, the effectiveness of art therapy in trauma treatment has not been established by systematic review. The aim of this systematic review is to identify and evaluate empirical evidence of the effectiveness of art therapy for trauma treatment. As a result of…

The aim of this study was to develop the categories of material interaction and examine the relationship between material interaction, the art product and clients’ psychological characteristics. Methods: Three sequential focus gr…
Education for What? Exploring Directions for the Professionalisation of Social Workers
The complexity of the daily practice of social workers in the Netherlands has increased, while the social appreciation for their work has decreased. Stakeholders involved in social work practice agreed that a master's programme for social workers could be an important step to improve the quality of social work and enhance the professionalisation of social workers. However, stakeholders disagreed considerably on the objectives of this new programm…
Variations in the development of psychological therapy in three European Union countries
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the similarities and differences in the development of psychological therapies in three European Union countries (the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and France) in the context of national policies about health services and public mental health.

How do patients come to be seen as 'difficult: A mixed-methods study in community mental health care
Effects and side-effects of integrating care: The case of mental health care in the Netherlands
Integration of care within the institutions in the Netherlands has resulted in withdrawal of other care providers. These side-effects lead to a new discussion on the real nature and benefits of an integrated mental health care system. Integration requires also a broadly shared vision on good care for the various target groups. This would require a radicalisation of the distinction between care providers as well as a recognition of the different g…
Multidisciplinary guidelines in Dutch mental health care: Plans, bottlenecks and possible solutions
The conclusion is that guidelines cannot be based on empirical evidence alone. It is argued that the collective sense of professions involved should also be integrated into the guideline, for example in relation to goal differentiation. It is finally argued that multidisciplinary guidelines must also offer a hierarchy between those goals, i.e. a vision of the appropriate type of care and the order in which the various care components should be ad…
