Background: Coronary artery by-pass surgery (CABG) is often followed by anxiety and depression that require early identification in order to provide adequate psychological support. The predictive role of tests administered soon after CABG on long-term psychological outcomes has been only incompletely explored. Aim, Design and Methods: Aim of this study was to assess post-operative and 12-month persistence of psychological disorders by means of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) and the depression and state and trait anxiety scales of the Cognitive Behavioural Assessment (CBA-2.0) in 118 male patients admitted to cardiac rehabilitation after CABG. Results: Early after CABG we observed a high prevalence of depression (11.8% by MMPI-2 and 12.7% by CBA) and state anxiety (23.5%). At 1-year the MMPI-2 scale D indicated stable mean score and high scores at entry were predictive of persistent depression. Conversely the CBA-2.0 scale QD score significantly decreased (from 3.86±3.19 to 2.91±3.45, p=0.017). Also ST1 state anxiety significantly decreased (from 35.17±6.95 to 32.55±6.72, p=0.003) whereas ST2 trait anxiety was stable. We found no association between psychometric results and ventricular function, number of grafts or time since diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Conclusions: State anxiety and depression by CBA significantly decreased 1-year after CABG; conversely trait anxiety and depression, investigated by MMPI-2, a more specific personality questionnaire, were stable. High scores for the depression in the scale D of MMPI-2 early after CABG seem to be predictive of the persistence of the disorder at 1-year.

In a controlled trial, 20 patients at high risk of repeated suicide attempts were randomly allocated to either cognitive-behavioural problem solving or a ‘treatment-as-usual’ control condition. The group practising problem solving improved significantly more than controls on ratings of depression, hopelessness, suicidal ideation and target problems at the end of treatment and at follow-up of up to one year, and there was evidence of an effect on the rates of repetition over the six months after treatment.

BackgroundPersistent drug-resistant psychotic symptoms are a pervasive problem in the treatment of schizophrenia.AimsTo evaluate the durability of the treatment effects of cognitive–behavioural therapy for chronic schizophrenia one year after treatment termination.MethodA comparison of clinical outcomes was made at one-year follow-up from a randomised trial of cognitive–behavioural therapy, supportive counselling and routine care alone in the treatment of chronic schizophrenia.ResultsSeventy out of the 72 patients (97%) who completed treatment were assessed at follow-up. There were significant differences between the three groups when positive and negative symptoms were analysed by means of ANCOVAs. Between-group comparisons indicated significant differences between cognitive–behavioural therapy and routine care at follow-up for positive symptoms. There was a trend towards significance for both cognitive–behavioural therapy and supportive counselling to be superior to routine care alone on negative symptoms.ConclusionsAt 12-month follow-up the significant advantage of cognitive– behavioural therapy compared to routine care alone remained.

Behavioural Strategies

The patient's perspective of treatment is seldom considered when psychological interventions are evaluated. Our aim was to undertake a qualitative study to assess the patients' viewpoint of what was helpful as well as harmful about the treatment they have completed. Twenty-one female referrals to an outpatient university-based eating disorders service (10 anorexia nervosa and 11 bulimia nervosa, mean age = 24.7 years, SD = 9.8) were interviewed on average one year after completion of either family counselling or cognitive-behavioural treatment. Most patients reported improvements as a result of treatment, although our formal assessment was more cautious. Patients identified psychoeducation, a supportive environment, challenging of dysfunctional beliefs, and behavioural strategies as helpful components of treatment. A significant minority felt that causes of the illness were dealt with inadequately, and that behavioural strategies were insufficient when symptoms were too overpowering. This study shows that gaining the patient's perspective of therapy could provide clinicians with helpful feedback to improve treatment for this challenging patient population.
