Length of psychodynamic therapy predicts long-term outcomes

posted on Fri, 16 May 2008 07:17:20 -0700

Apr 21, 2008 Source : Current Medicine Group MedWire News: Short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy produces benefits in patients with psychiatric symptoms more quickly than long-term therapy, but long-term therapy is more beneficial in the longer term, Finnish study findings suggest. Mood and anxiety disorders commonly have a recurrent and chronic course. Although there are a range of short- and long-term psychotherapies for such conditions, there is a lack of evidence as to which offer the be

Kids With OCD Benefit From Family Therapy

posted on Fri, 16 May 2008 06:58:58 -0700

A new study provides some of the first evidence-based data on a successful intervention for early childhood OCD. The intervention, family-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), provides both child and parents with a set of tools to help them understand, manage and reduce OCD symptoms. Although children as young as 5 can be diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), few research studies have looked at treatments specifically geared toward young children with this disorder.

15 Variables in Relationship

posted on Fri, 16 May 2008 06:25:34 -0700

Recently read a great article (when I find the citation I’ll attach it) about many variables that contribute to the way relationships (any relationship: coworkers, friends, lovers, etc.) function. What makes the list interesting is that each of these variables applies to both members in the relationship, which really speaks to the complexity of human interaction. Of course, relationship is one of those important aspects of subjective experience, which is an important focus of psychotherapy. He

Sunrise

I took this photograph from our North-facing window this morning. I was visited by a dream last night and I was curious about it, uplifted, while at the same time aware of an old sadness beneath the uplift. In composing the image there was a tension between wanting to lift the viewfinder fully to the sunrise and wanting to stay in connection with the human realm, not yet in light. In the end the composition stayed "snapped" to the dark city forms; it's not enough to have just an expanse of exqu

Suicide, ethics, and end of life care dilemmas for families

posted on Thu, 15 May 2008 17:07:05 -0700

Please note: This is a fictionalized case-study. I have created this case scenario to stimulate thought and discussion about the complicated clinical and ethical dilemmas related to end of life care for patients and their families. I will be very happy if this case is used for study purposes in an ethics or clinical therapy class. Susan came to see me about a year after her brother Bob’s complicated death related to cancer. She had been referred by a friend who knew that I worked with many ad

Corporal punishment and more about the Wall of Silence…

Primula Veris or gullviva. Miller writes about a new law passed by the German parliament in July 2000 prohibiting (förbjudande) corporal punishment, as another decisive (avgörande) step toward the humanization of our personal relations and the removal of barriers in the mind at page 131-132 in her book “The Truth Will Set You Free…”: “Significantly, it [the law prohibiting corporal punishment] owes its existence to politicians and lawyers, most of them women.

Female Sexual Offenders Similar to Violent Criminals

posted on Thu, 15 May 2008 11:59:58 -0700

In the largest study of women convicted of sexual offences in Sweden, authorities discover that the women were just as likely to have mental problems or drug addictions as other violent female criminals. Between 1988 and 2000, 93 women and 8,500 men were convicted of sexual offences in Sweden. Given that previous research has focused on male perpetrators, knowledge of the factors specific to female sex offenders has been scant. A group of researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolin
