Childhood trauma and treatment outcomes in short-term psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy for adult depression
Childhood trauma (CT) is a known risk factor for major depressive disorder (MDD), yet its implications for treatment selection remain unclear. This exploratory randomized controlled trial (N = 100) compared short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in adults with MDD treated in outpatient clinics. CT was assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), and depressive symptoms were me…
Mediators of Outcome in Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy with Youth
This article aimed to provide a systematic narrative synthesis of existing studies on the mediators of change in psychotherapy with adolescents (10–19 years) and transition age youth (TAY) (20–29 years) who have experienced trauma-related symptoms or posttraumatic disorder. Additionally, we were interested in identifying psychotherapy-, trauma type-, and clients’ age- and gender-specific mediators of treatment outcome. Following the preferred rep…

Parental Bonding and Relationships with Friends and Siblings in Adolescents with Depression
According to attachment theory, the quality of the early child-parent bond determines the child's interpersonal relationships later in life. Utilising data from The First Experimental Study of Transference Work-In Teenagers (FEST-IT), the current paper investigated the connection between the self-reported quality of bonding with mother and father and the self-reported importance of relationships with friends and siblings in adolescents with depre…
Inter-Rater Reliability of the Structured Interview of DSM-IV Personality (Sidp-IV) in an Adolescent Outpatient Population
Personality disorders (PDs) are a class of mental disorders which are associated with subjective distress, decreased quality of life and broad functional impairment. The presence of one or several PDs may also complicate the course and treatment of symptom disorders such as anxiety and depression. Accurate and reliable means of diagnosing personality disorders are thus crucial to ensuring efficient treatment planning and resource allocation, a fa…
Do Sleep Disturbances Improve Following Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Adolescent Depression
Sleep disturbance is often a prominent symptom in adolescents diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). Recent evidence indicates that short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy (STPP) for depression may have an effect in reducing co-occurring sleep disturbance in youth. It is unknown if transference work (exploration of the patient-therapist relationship) has an additional effect in reducing sleep disturbance. Adolescents aged 16-18 years ( n…
Personality Disorders as a Possible Moderator of the Effects of Relational Interventions in Short-Term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Depressed Adolescents
When treated with psychoanalytic psychotherapy for MDD, adolescents with cluster B PD symptoms seem to profit more from transference work than adolescents without such pathology
Therapists’ Emotional Responses in Individual Therapy with Depressed Adolescents
Countertransference (CT) responses during therapy sessions can be understood as the therapist's emotional reactions towards the patient. Within adolescents' psychotherapy, little is known about the effects of the therapists' feelings on treatment outcome. The Feeling-Word Checklist-28 (FWC-28) is a self-report questionnaire designed to evaluate the therapist's in-session feelings during therapy with younger patients. The aim of the study was to e…
Examining Psychotherapeutic Processes with Depressed Adolescents
To understand processes associated with better or poorer psychotherapy outcomes is vital. This study examined and contrasted interaction patterns between one therapist and two depressed 17-year-old girls, Johanna (good outcome) and Sonja (poor outcome), in short-term psychoanalytic therapies selected from an RCT. Outcome data were collected regarding level of inter- and intra-personal functioning and symptoms of depression. Process data were obta…
Mechanisms of change and heterogeneous treatment effects in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy for patients with depressive disorder

Conflicted Anger as a Central Dynamic in Depression in Adolescents—A Double Case Study
The incidence of depression in teenagers has increased for many years and is one of the most common diagnosis in adolescent psychiatry. Effective and accessible psychotherapy methods need sustained attention since psychopharmaceutic treatment might be less effective in younger people than in adults. The First Experimental Study of Transference-In Teenagers (FEST-IT) is a Randomized Controlled Study (RCT) with a dismantling design. The main intent…
Improvement in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Depression
The patient's perspective on improvement in psychotherapy is crucial for tailoring the therapy he or she is receiving. The present study aimed at exploring the factors aiding and the patients' experiences of improvement in time-limited psychodynamic psychotherapy for depression. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with ten adult patients who received up to 28 sessions of manualized psychodynamic psychotherapy in the Norwegian stud…
Therapists’ Experiences of Psychodynamic Therapy with and without Transference Interventions for Adolescents with Depression
Psychodynamic therapy is an effective treatment for depression. However, a large number of adolescent patients with depression do not respond and/or drop out of therapy and little is known about what therapists actually do in therapy with adolescents. Thus, more research is needed to explore the various actions that therapists do in therapy, so that therapists can tailor their therapy more specifically to each individual adolescent. The present s…
Therapeutic Atmosphere in Psychotherapy Sessions
There is uncertainty concerning what the active ingredients in psychotherapy are. The First Experimental Study of Transference interpretations (FEST) was a randomized controlled trial of the effects of transference work (TW) in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Women with low quality of object relations (QOR) showed a large positive effect of transference work, while men with high QOR showed a slight negative effect. The present study aimed to expand …
