HIV Infection and Depression Among Opiate Users in a US Epicenter of the Opioid Epidemic
Trust and respect in the patient-clinician relationship
The brief measure of patient trust and respect towards their clinician was unidimensional, showed good internal consistency, and was not redundant with existing measures of the alliance. The scale has the potential to be used in a wide variety of healthcare settings
No Quick Fixes
Community health workers (CHWs) provide peer support in diverse health care settings, but few studies have evaluated CHW interventions for intimate partner violence (IPV). We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of CHW outreach in four urban community health clinics and characterized the experiences and barriers to providing safe and effective services for women experiencing IPV. CHWs successfully enrolled and engaged IPV victims, …

Background: In the context of a National Institutes of Mental Health-funded Interventions and Practice Research Infrastructure Programs (IP-RISP) grant for the treatment of depression, a partnership was developed between a community mental health organization and a team of researchers
The role of the alliance and techniques in predicting outcome of supportive-expressive dynamic therapy for cocaine dependence
We examine the complex relations among therapeutic alliance, adherence to Supportive-Expressive Therapy (SET), therapist competence, and their interactions in predicting change in drug use. Experts rated early therapy sessions of cocaine dependent patients (n 108) randomized to SET as part of the Collaborative Cocaine Treatment Study. Moderate adherence to SET and competent delivery of SET were separately associated with poorer outcome. Further, …
Empirically Supported Psychotherapies
D. Westen, C. M. Novotny, and H. Thompson-Brenner (2004; see record 2004-15935-005) suggested that efforts to identify empirically supported treatments are misguided because they are based on assumptions that are not appropriate for some types of treatment and patients. The authors of this comment argue that Westen and colleagues are simply incorrect when they assert that empirically supported treatments require that psychopathology must be highl…
Quality of life
Clinical researchers have turned their attention to quality of life assessment as a means of broadening the evaluation of treatment outcomes. This article examines conceptual and methodological issues related to the use of quality of life measures in mental health. These include the lack of a good operational definition of the construct, the use of subjective versus objective quality of life indicators, and the nature of the relationship between …
A Comparison of Interpersonal Scripts in Clinically Depressed versus Nondepressed Individuals
Limitations of the dodo bird verdict and the role of clinical trials in psychotherapy research
Efficacy and effectiveness of psychotherapy
Consistency of Interpersonal Themes for Patients In Psychotherapy
In this study the extent to which patients in psychotherapy display similar interpersonal themes across multiple narratives of their interactions with others was investigated. Interpersonal themes were measured using a new instrument entitled the Quantitative Assessment of Interpersonal Themes (QUAINT) method, which assesses the wishes, responses from others, and responses of self that occur in narratives about interactions with others. For 60 pa…

Do therapists vary much in their success? Findings from four outcome studies
Success rates of psychotherapists were compared across each of four treatment outcome studies, with results indicating: considerable difference between therapists in their average success rates; considerable variability in outcome within the caseload of individual therapists; little support for the widely held view that certain therapists are best for certain kinds of patients; and variations in success rate typically have more to do with the the…
Behavioral Versus Pharmacological Treatments for Essential Hypertension—A Needed Comparison
Comparison of mild-to-moderate essential hypertension patients treated for 6 weeks by antihypertensive medication versus metronome-conditioned relaxation versus biofeedback versus a mild exercise control procedure showed that those on medication achieved the greatest decrease in blood pressure. The relaxation and biofeedback groups decreased more than the mild exercise group, as predicted, but not significantly more. The differences in benefits o…
Women's Jobs and Family Adjustment
THIS study investigated the relationship between multiple characteristics of women's jobs and their family adjustment in a sample of 99 women in dual-earner families. Six work-related variables were considered simultaneously as predictors of family adjustment: intrinsic job gratification, satisfaction with job security, job-related mood, time spent at work, occupational prestige, and salary. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that wo…
