The Influence of Transactional Analysis on Open-Mindedness and Self-Perceived Creativity of Students in Higher Education
The importance of developing 21st-century skills for students in higher education is widely recognized. Open-mindedness plays a significant role in creativity and communication, which are considered to be important 21st-century skills. In this research article, we explore whether transactional analysis can positively stimulate higher education students’ open-mindedness. The study was conducted among students of two universities of applied science…

Music therapy for children on the autism spectrum: Improved social interaction observed by multiple informants across different social contexts
Introduction: In a previously published multiple case study in which 10 children on the autism spectrum were offered the “Papageno Music Therapy Program” (PMTP), a favorable development was found with regard to social interaction. As an extension of our previous study, we investigate if the progress can also be observed in a larger group, and whether these developments are generalized to other situations. Method: A non-experimental, pre-post meas…
Treatment Evaluation in Forensic Psychiatry. Which One Should Be Used: The Clinical Judgment or the Instrument-based Assessment of Change
In forensic psychiatry, it is common practice to use an unstructured clinical judgment for treatment evaluation. From risk assessment studies, it is known that the unstructured clinical judgment is unreliable and the use of instruments is recommended. This paper aims to explore the clinical judgment of change compared to the calculated change using the Instrument for Forensic Treatment Evaluation (IFTE) in relation to changes in inpatient violenc…
Exploring Change in Children’s and Art Therapists’ Behavior during ‘Images of Self’, an Art Therapy Program for Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Repeated Case Study Design
(1) Background: 'Images of Self' (IOS) is a recently developed and evaluated art therapy program of 15 sessions to reduce difficulties in 'sense of self', 'emotion regulation', 'flexibility', and 'social behavior' of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In this paper, it is explored whether change in the child's behaviors corresponds to the therapist's actions during IOS and 15 weeks later. (2) Method: In a repeated case study…
Feasibility of emotion-regulating improvisational music therapy for young adult students with depressive symptoms: A process evaluation
Introduction: Depression can be a serious problem in young adult students. There is a need to implement and monitor prevention interventions for these students.\nEmotion-regulating improvisational music therapy (EIMT) was developed to prevent depression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of EIMT for use in practice for young adult students with depressive symptoms in a university context.\n\nMethod: A process evaluation wa…

Trajectories of Dynamic Risk Factors During Forensic Treatment: Growth Trajectory of Clinical Risk Factors in a Sample of Dutch Forensic Patients
In this study, growth trajectories (from admission until unconditional release) of crime-related dynamic risk factors were investigated in a sample of Dutch forensic patients ( N = 317), using latent growth curve modeling. After testing the unconditional model, three predictors were added: first-time offender versus recidivist, age, and treatment duration. Postanalyses were chi-square difference tests, t tests, and analyses of variance (ANOVAs) t…
Longitudinal Network Structure and Changes of Clinical Risk and Protective Factors in a Nationwide Sample of Forensic Psychiatric Patients
In this study, we investigated network configurations of 14 Clinical risk and protective factors in a sample of 317 male forensic psychiatric patients across two time points: at the time of admission to the forensic psychiatric centers (T1) and at the time of unconditional release (T2). In terms of network structure, the strongest risk edge was between “hostility–violation of terms” at T1, and between “hostility–impulsivity” at T2. “Problem insig…
Evaluation of ‘Images of Self,’ an art therapy program for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
The art therapy (AT) program for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ‘Images of Self’, has been evaluated with repeated single case studies (n = 12) in a mixed-methods design. The program focuses on children’s difficulties with their ‘sense of self’, ‘emotion regulation’, ‘flexibility’ and ‘social behavior’. Parents, teachers and art therapists scored the BRIEF and CSBQ, instruments for rating child behavior. Children filled …
Evaluation of client progress in music therapy: An illustration of an N-of-1 design in individual short-term improvisational music therapy with clients with depression
This article introduces music therapy clinicians to a research design that can be easily implemented in clinical practice to evaluate and monitor the impact of interventions on individual clients: the systemic N-of-1 design. In this single-case design, the client’s network, consisting of professional and non-professional network members, assumes the role of evaluators of the given treatments. The systemic N-of-1 design is illustrated with a small…
The Use of Local Networks in a Study of Heroin Users: Assessing Average Local Networks
L'atilisation de réseaux locaux dans l'étude des consommateurs d'héroine. Evaluation de réseaux locaux moyens. Dans l'étude d'une population de consommateur d'héroïne dans une ville néerlandaise, une approche par réseaux locaux a été utilisée dans la collecte et l'analyse de données concernant l'environnement social des consommateurs d'héroïne. Au lieu d'appliquer une procédure d'échantillonnage par boule de neige pour contacter des répondants pa…
Personal Network Sampling, Outdegree Analysis and Multilevel Analysis: Introducing the Network Concept in Studies of Hidden Populations
Populations, such as heroin and cocaine users, the homeless and the like (hidden populations), are among the most difficult populations to which to apply classic random sampling procedures. A frequently used data collection method for these hidden populations is the snowball procedure. The prerequisite for using this procedure is the existence of a network among the members of the population. Most studies of hidden populations treat the existence…
Rare Populations, Hidden Populations, and Link-Tracing Designs: What and Why
Literature on snowball sampling and other ascending methodologies (intensive data collection methodologies) is widely scattered. In order to indicate a structure in the diversity of articles, snowball sampling and other ascending methodologies are embedded in the general concept of link-tracing methodologies. From this point of view link-tracing methodologies are considered as tools for analysing social structure and for locating members of speci…
