Long-term effectiveness of a short-term cognitive-behavioral group treatment for primary insomnia

Objective: To test the feasibility and effectiveness of a high-frequency short-term group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for recurrent suicide attempters. Method: CBT consisting of eight weekly and two “booster” sessions was given to nine female out-patients who had attempted suicide at least twice, seven of whom had a personality disorder. Results: Four patients dropped out during the treatment; either because they were “chronic repeaters” (i.e., had a history of more than 8 suicide attempts), or because the last suicide attempt was too long ago. Although the patients were generally positive about the content of the therapy, no effects on psychiatric symptomatology or repetition of suicidal behavior could be demonstrated. Conclusions: Based on this experience, and on the two controlled studies of CBT of recurrent suicide attempters published in the literature, it is tentatively concluded that it is difficult to organize a short-term high-frequency group treatment for recurrent suicide attempters with personality disorders, and that CBT may delay repetition of suicidal behavior, but that “major repeaters” (i.e., who made 4 or more suicide attempts) with a borderline personality disorder tend to stay major repeaters.

Abstract Introduction: The Psychotherapy Process Q-Set (PQS) prototype method is used to measure the extent to which ideal processes of different psychotherapies are present in real cases, allowing researchers to examine how adherence to these models relates to or predicts change. Results from studies of short-term psychotherapies suggest that the original psychodynamic prototype is more suitable for studying psychoanalysis and long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy than its time-limited counterparts. Furthermore, culture probably influences how therapies are typically conducted in a given country. Therefore, it seems appropriate to develop Brazilian prototypes on which to base studies of short-term psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral processes in this country. Objective: To develop prototypes for studying processes of short-term psychotherapies and to examine the degree of adherence of two real psychotherapy cases to these models. Methods: Expert clinicians used the PQS to rate a hypothetical ideal session of either short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Ratings were submitted to Q-type factor analysis to confirm the two groups. Regressive factor scores were rank ordered to describe the prototypes. These ideal models were correlated with ratings of actual therapy processes in two complete psychotherapy cases, one STPP and the other CBT. Results: Agreement levels between expert ratings were high and the two ideal models were confirmed. As expected, the PQS ratings for actual STPP and CBT cases had significant correlations with their respective ideal models, but the STPP case also adhered to the CBT prototype. Conclusion: Overall, the findings reveal the adequacy of the prototypes for time-limited therapies, providing initial support of their validity.

INTRODUCTION & PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study is to analyze the efficacy of cognitive behavioral group treatment on reducing anger rumination and increasing the resilience of cardiovascular patients.METHODOLOGY: The present study is quasi-experimental and follows a two- group pretest-posttest design. The statistical universe of the present study consists of all cardiovascular patients attending Tehran specialized treatment centers in 2015 for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, 40 participants were selected from the research population and they were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (20 for experimental group and 20 for control group. For collecting data Sukhodolsky’s anger rumination scale questionnaire and Conner, K. M., & Davidson’s resilience scale questionnaire were implemented and for analyzing and examining the data multivariate covariance analysis test and single-variant covariance analysis have been employed.RESULTS: The research findings showed that cognitive behavioral group treatment leads to the reduction of mental rumination and increase of resilience among the group under the study and these results are statistically significant at 0.01 (P>0.01).CONCLUSION: According to the research finding it can be concluded that cognitive behavioral group treatment has a significant impact on this group and this treatment can be employed as an opposite solution to reduce the symptoms of those suffering from cardiovascular diseases and also to prevent the occurrence of such diseases.

Core Features

A very substantial number of well-designed studies (Type 1 and Type 2) have shown that manual-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is currently the treatment of choice for bulimia nervosa (BN); roughly half of patients receiving CBT cease binge eating and purging. Well accepted by patients, CBT is the most effective means of eliminating the core features of the eating disorder and is often accompanied by improvement in psychological problems such as low self-esteem and depression; long-term maintenance of improvement is reasonably good. A large number of good to excellent outcome studies (Type 1 and Type 2) suggest that different classes of antidepressant drugs produce significantly greater reductions in the short term for binge eating and purging in BN patients than a placebo treatment; the long-term effects of antidepressant medication on BN remain untested. There is little evidence that combining CBT with antidepressant medication significantly enhances improvement in the core features of BN, although it may aid in treating comorbid anxiety and depression. The continuing paucity of controlled research on outcomes of treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) contrasts sharply with the quantity and quality of research on outcomes of treatment for BN and binge-eating disorder (BED). Nevertheless, a specific form of family therapy, referred to as the Maudsley Model, has shown promising effects on AN in adolescent patients, although this remains to be shown to be a specific effect. Several different psychological treatments appear equally effective in reducing the frequency of binge eating in the short term in BED; these treatments include CBT, interpersonal therapy (IPT), behavioral weight loss programs, and guided self-help based on cognitive-behavioral principles. To date, only CBT and IPT have been shown to have significant longer term effects in eliminating binge eating. Evidence on the specific effects of antidepressant medication on BED is mixed. As yet, there has been no research on the treatment of the most common eating disorder diagnosis, “eating disorder not otherwise specified.”
