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.

SummaryThis paper evaluates the predictive power of two classes of variables which are thought to be related to psychotherapy outcome: patient characteristics assessed at the start of treatment and process characteristics of the psychotherapy. The treatment was Short Term Interpersonal Psychoatherapy which was performed with ambulatory patients during a major depressive episode as defined by Research Diagnostic Criteria. Univariate correlations indicate that patients with generally healthier functioning on the Prognostic Index received better ratings on measures of psychotherapy process and experienced greater improvement in depressive symptoms and social functioning. However, in a multiple regression analysis, patient characteristics accounted for 64 per cent of the variance in treatment outcome, while psychotherapy process variables were not predictive of outcome.

10539 Background: Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have either KIT or PDGFRA mutations. Neurofibromatosis type 1 pts caused by mutations in the NF1 gene have increased risk of GIST development, which may have no mutation in both genes. In this study, we analyzed clinical and pathological features of NF-1 associated GISTs. Methods: Study 1: We have screened 95 adults NF1 pts (age 31-66, 35 male and 60 female) by enhanced MDCT between 2003 and 2012. Study 2: We collected 1,184 sporadic GISTs from community hospitals in Japan between 2001 and 2010 retrospectively, and found 24 primary NF1-GISTs (1.7% of sporadic) and 2 recurrent NF1-GISTs, of whom clinicopathological features were analyzed. Results: Study1: By MDCT screening, we have found histologically confirmed 6 GISTs (4 males and 2 female; 6/1,000 NF1-persons/year) in the small intestine. Median age of NF1-GIST was 45, and five pts had multiple tumors, ICC hyperplasia in the normal intestine and no mutation in the KIT and PDGFRA genes. Study 2: Median age of 26 NF1-GIST (12 male and 14 female) was 58. 25 GISTs were located in the small bowel and one in the stomach. 17 pts had multiple GISTs and 9 pts single lesion. Pathologically, KIT was positive for all NF1-GISTs. 24 pts had spindle cell tumors and 2 had mixed or epithelioid. No mutation was found in the KIT and PDGFRA genes of 11 pts examined. Median values of mitosis (0/50HPF) and Ki67 (0.5%) were lower than those of sporadic GIST (3/50HPF and 2.5%). With media follow-up of 3.6 years, 8 pts had recurrences and 4 pts died of the disease. By western blotting, KIT was faintly phosphorylated but its downstream kinases including MEK, p44/22, AKT, mTOR, p38 and STAT3, were activated. Six pts received imatinib and had no response and, subsequently, 5 pts received sunitinib with 4 PD and 1 short-term SD. Conclusions: NF1-associated GIST is a rare entity of GIST and has distinctive features from conventional sporadic GISTs. KIT-targeted TKI appeared to be ineffective to recurrent and advanced NF1-GISTs.
