What is the effect of homework engagement in group cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders and depression
This is the first study to examine the effects of homework engagement on symptoms in group UP and also adds to the limited literature using such methods to isolate the unique effects of treatment engagement on symptom outcomes. Future studies should confirm these results and investigate other relevant aspects of homework engagement, such as the quality of said engagement and process variables such as therapist factors, group cohesion, and negativ…
Assessing emotion regulation difficulties in adolescents
DERS-16 successfully distinguished clinical from community adolescents. The results illustrate the importance of identifying adolescents with high levels of emotion regulation difficulties in child and adolescent psychiatry due to higher levels of comorbidity and risk behaviors
Experiences in the relationship between foster children and foster parents in specialized foster care—Thematic analysis conducted on five minute speech sample-data
The relationship between children and young people in foster care and their foster parents is of great importance for the children’s and young person’s development. Very few studies exist of this relationship in a specialized foster care context • This study found that both the foster children, young people and their foster parents struggle with defining their relationship and relates to an idealized norm for what constitutes a ‘real’ family. • A…
Outcome evaluation of psychological interventions offered to adolescents seeking mental health services at the national referral and teaching hospital in Nairobi, Kenya
Literature highlights that adolescent mental health problems are amenable to treatment, specifically to psychological interventions. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of evidence on the services available for their management especially in low-middle-income contexts. This study aimed to highlight psychological interventions available to adolescents seeking mental health services at the National referral hospital in Kenya and to understand their ef…
What changes during specialized foster care? A study on adaptive functioning and emotional and social problems
Various models of specialized foster care have been developed, but research on them is limited. This longitudinal, exploratory study analysed data on adaptive functioning, emotional and social problems and self‐concept in a specialized foster care service in Sweden. The focus of the study was on the development of the children and young people in placement. The Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System (ABAS‐II) was used to measure adaptive functionin…
What Research Evidence Is Valid for Psychotherapy Research
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) have contributed to improved clinical practice with increased use of effective and life-saving treatments for severe diseases. However, the EBM model is less suitable for psychotherapy research than for pharmacological research and somatic medicine. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) design is an example of experimental methodology, which inevitably has more imperfections in psychotherapy research because psychoth…
Emotion Regulation as a Time-Invariant and Time-Varying Covariate Predicts Outcome in an Internet-Based Psychodynamic Treatment Targeting Adolescent Depression
The findings suggest that patients with relatively larger deficits in emotion regulation gain more from IPDT. Decreased emotion regulation deficits seem to act as a mechanism of change in IPDT as it drives subsequent changes in depression.

Factor analysis of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measures (Core-OM) in a Kenyan sample
The English language version of the CORE-OM can be used with psychiatric patients attending psychiatric treatment in Nairobi. The factor structure was more or less the same as has been shown in previous studies. The most important limitation is the relatively small sample size
Mentalizing in young offenders
In order to prevent relapse into criminality, it is important to understand what precedes criminal behavior. Two earlier studies found deficits in mentalizing ability to be related to violent and criminal actions. Mentalizing refers to the ability to make human behavior predictable and meaningful by inferring mental states (thoughts, feelings, etc.) as explaining behavior. In this study, mentalizing ability was assessed by rating 42 Adult Attachm…
Reflective functioning, affect consciousness, and mindfulness
Aims: Concepts of mentalization, affect consciousness, and mindfulness have been increasingly emphasized as crucial in psychotherapy of diverse orientations. Different measures have been developed
Symptom-Specific Reflective Functioning
Self-Analysis and Post-Termination Improvement After Psychoanalysis and Long-Term Psychotherapy
Long-term follow-up studies of long-term psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy or psychoanalysis are extremely rare, and few have focused on the post-treatment process itself. In the Stockholm Outcome of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy project, one of the results was that patients in psychoanalysis continued to improve after termination to a higher degree than patients in long-term psychotherapy. In this study 20 patients selected from the p…
A Buddhist contribution to the psychoanalytic psychology of self
The author attempts to integrate the concepts of self used in psychoanalytic theory with the understanding of the nature of self as explained within the Buddhist meditative tradition. He divides different concepts of self in psychoanalytic theory into three major levels of consciousness and abstraction: self as experience, representational self and self as system. The representational level is defined as consisting of unconscious organizing struc…
