Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) associated with healthcare reductions in patients with functional seizures
Epilepsy Behav. 2023 Mar 14;141:109147. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109147. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntensive Short-Term Psychodynamic Therapy (ISTDP) has demonstrated promising evidence for the treatment of Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) including functional seizures. This paper aimed to further examine the therapeutic effects of a 3-session course of this treatment focusing on its potential to maintain reduced healthcare utility within a group of patients with complex difficulties, across an extended time period, post-therapy. The original study followed a mixed methods case series design and recruited 18 pa...

The development of narrative identity in the psychodynamic treatment of avoidant personality disorder: A case study
Avoidant personality disorder (AvPD) is characterized by feelings of shyness, inadequacy, and restraint in intimate relationships and has been associated with a disturbance in narrative identity, which is the internalized and evolving story of past, present, and future experiences. Study findings have indicated that an improvement in overall mental health through psychotherapy may increase narrative identity. However, there is a lack of studies incorporating not only the examination of narrative identity development before and after psychotherapy but also within psychotherapy sessions. This case study examined the developm...

The role of general change mechanisms in sudden gains in the treatment of anorexia nervosa
This study investigated the role of general change mechanisms in body-weight related SGs in AN. Data were drawn from a randomized-controlled trial on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and focal psychodynamic therapy (FPT) for adult outpatients with AN. Session-level data on the general change mechanisms 'clarification' (insight), 'mastery' (coping), and 'therapeutic relationship' were analyzed. Pre-gain sessions were compared with control (pre-pre-gain) sessions in 99 patients with a SG in body weight. Additionally, propensity score matching was used to compare data from pre-gain sessions from 44 patients with SG and data...

Comparative effectiveness of psychotherapies in adults with posttraumatic stress disorder: a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide evidence for improving current guidelines and informing clinical decision-making for PTSD management.

Reflective functioning and its potential to moderate the efficacy of manualized psychodynamic therapies versus other treatments for borderline personality disorder.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol 91(1), Jan 2023, 50-56; doi:10.1037/ccp0000760Background: Impaired reflective functioning (RF) is common among patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) has been demonstrated to improve RF compared to other common BPD treatments. If RF reflects a treatment mechanism for TFP, differences in pretreatment RF may also serve as a prescriptive factor for TFP’s effects. Method: A total of 194 patients with BPD were randomized across two clinical trials to receive TFP (n = 83), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT; n = 31), suppor...
