Transference Focused Psychotherapy

Case Studies Within Psychotherapy Trials: Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Methods presents a specific, mixed-methods approach, called the “Cases Within Trials” (CWT) model, to psychotherapy research combining the results from a randomized clinical trial (RCT); the results of richly and qualitatively detailed systematic case studies involving contrasting outcomes drawn from the experimental condition of the RCT; and a synthesis of the two types of knowledge. Chapter 5 of the book applies this model to a study of an individually based psychoanalytic therapy—called “transference-focused psychotherapy” (TFP)—to treating borderline personality disorder (BPD). Finding TFP equivalent to dialectical behavior therapy, the evidence-based benchmark of BPD treatment, the authors subsequently analyze and compare the positive-outcome case of Ms. J with the negative-outcome case of Ms. V, both drawn from the TFP condition.

Change Mechanisms

Case Studies Within Psychotherapy Trials: Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Methods presents a specific, mixed-methods approach, called the “Cases Within Trials” (CWT) model, to psychotherapy research, combining the results from a randomized clinical trial (RCT) with systematic case studies involving contrasting outcomes drawn from the experimental condition of the RCT; and a synthesis of the two types of knowledge. Chapters 3–6 of the book present four specific and diverse projects that concretely illustrate the CWT method. In Chapter 8 the editors analyze the four chapters and explore emergent themes in the knowledge gained from them. In the process, the editors systematically compare the positive-outcome and negative-outcome cases across the four projects, highlighting, for example, (a) the importance of contextual variables in creating the conditions for change mechanisms to be activated; (b) the multidimensional, reciprocally interactional nature of the therapy process; and (c) the particular role of therapist responsiveness.

Case Studies Within Psychotherapy Trials: Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Methods presents a specific, mixed-methods approach, called the “Cases Within Trials” (CWT) model, to psychotherapy research combining the results from a randomized clinical trial (RCT); the results of richly and qualitatively detailed systematic case studies involving contrasting outcomes drawn from the experimental condition of the RCT; and a synthesis of the two types of knowledge. Chapter 4 of the book applies this model to a study of the application of a group-based, interpersonal therapy treatment—called “Interpersonal Psychotherapy—Adolescent Skills Training” (IPT-AST)—in preventing depression in adolescents. Finding a substantial statistical advantage of the interpersonal treatment over a “school counseling as usual” condition, the authors then analyze and compare the positive-outcome case of Menorka with the negative-outcome case of Shelly, both drawn from the IPT-AST condition.

Case Studies Within Psychotherapy Trials: Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Methods presents a specific, mixed-methods approach, called the “Cases Within Trials” (CWT) model, to psychotherapy research, combining the results from a randomized clinical trial (RCT), from case studies drawn from the RCT, and a synthesis of the two types of knowledge. Chapter 6 of the book applies this model to a study of the application of a three-session, individual, “motivational interviewing” therapy—specifically labeled “motivational enhancement therapy for antidepressants” (META). META was employed for treating disadvantaged, predominantly Spanish-speaking Latinos with depression. Finding META plus routine individual psychiatric therapy based in a community mental health center (CMHC) to be statistically and substantially superior to the CMHC-therapy-only condition, the authors then analyze and compare the positive-outcome case of Lupe, the mixed-outcome case of Ana, and the negative-outcome case of Maria, all drawn from the META condition.

Chapter 3 of the book applies this model to an RCT study of a group-based, cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT)—called “Cool Kids/Chilled Adolescents”—for youth anxiety in Denmark. Finding a substantial statistical advantage of the CBT treatment to a waiting-list control condition, the authors then analyze and compare the positive-outcome case of Lisa with the negative-outcome case of Marius, both drawn from the CBT condition.
