Identifying who benefits most from supportive versus expressive techniques in psychotherapy for depression: Moderators of within- versus between-individual effects.
Conclusions: Our within-individual findings diverge from previously published between-individual analyses. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the importance of complementing between-individuals with within-individual analyses to achieve better understanding of who benefits most from specific treatment techniques.

Dynamic relations between mentalization techniques and therapeutic alliance in psychodynamic child therapy: An evidence-based case study.
Psychotherapy, Vol 60(4), Dec 2023, 548-559; doi:10.1037/pst0000505Therapeutic alliance and mentalization are common factors inherent to all effective treatments. Mentalization-based interventions have the potential to create a safe relationship, which makes further mentalizing interventions possible. However, to date, no study has examined the bidirectional relationship between these variables in child psychotherapy. In an evidence-based case study design, psychodynamic therapy processes of two Turkish children (age: 9 and 10 years) who presented with social withdrawal problems were compared. All their sessions (34 sessio...

Narcissistic Traits May Predict Patients ’ Response to CBT for Depression
The presence of narcissistic traits may predict how well a patient responds to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for depression, according to astudy published inThe Lancet Psychiatry.“In the past decade of personality and personality disorder research, narcissism has emerged as a dimensional construct that is present both in individuals who are mentally healthy and in psychiatric clinical populations,” wrote Maike Richter, M.Sc., Simon Mota, Ph.D., of the University of Müns ter in Germany and colleagues. “Clinical practice shows that narcissistic traits below the threshold for narcissistic personality disorder are ...

Words count in psychotherapy: Differentiating language characteristics of cognitive behavioral therapy and focal psychodynamic therapy for anorexia nervosa.
Psychotherapy, Vol 60(4), Dec 2023, 488-496; doi:10.1037/pst0000499It is generally assumed that psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) differ in terms of applied techniques and processes. To date, however, little is known about whether and how such differences can actually be observed at a basic linguistic level and in what the two treatment approaches differ most strongly (i.e., how psychodynamic and CBT therapists differ in what they actually say word-by-word in therapy sessions). Building on theoretical models and previous research that used observer ratings, we formulated specific hypotheses regar...

Emotion-focused Psychodynamic Interview for People with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain and Childhood Adversity: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Childhood adversity and emotional conflicts are associated with the presence and severity of chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP), yet common treatments for CMP do not address such risk factors. We developed a single-session, emotion-focused psychodynamic interview, based on Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy and Intensive Short-term Psychodynamic Therapy, and we tested the interview ’s effects on pain-related outcomes and potential psychological mediators in a randomized, controlled trial.

Comparative effectiveness of psychological interventions for treating the psychological consequences of sexual abuse in children and adolescents: a network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: There was weak evidence that both CCT (delivered to child and carer) and CBT (delivered to the child) might reduce PTSD symptoms at post-treatment. However, the effect estimates are uncertain and imprecise. For the remaining outcomes examined, none of the estimates suggested that any of the interventions reduced symptoms compared to management as usual. Weaknesses in the evidence base include the dearth of evidence from low- and middle-income countries. Further, not all interventions have been evaluated to the same extent, and there is little evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions for male parti...

Integrating Intersectionality into Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy
This article illustrates the integration of an intersectionality-informed framework within psychodynamic psychotherapy using Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP) as an exemplar. TLDP is a contemporary evidence-based relational psychodynamic therapy that focuses on illuminating and changing intrapersonal-interpersonal cycles of behavior that are presumed to underly psychological problems. After presenting an overview of the intersectionality concept and its broad applications within psychology and psychotherapy, emerging applications of an intersectional framework in psychodynamic psychotherapy are described. A synopsi...

The status of psychodynamic psychotherapy as an empirically supported treatment for common mental disorders - an umbrella review based on updated criteria
In conclusion, PDT represents an evidence-based psychotherapy. This is clinically important since no single therapeutic approach fits all psychiatric patients, as shown by the limited success rates across all evidence-based treatments.PMID:37159376 | PMC:PMC10168167 | DOI:10.1002/wps.21104 (Source: World Psychiatry)
