The Way

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) differs from other approaches by teaching mindfulness as a set of skills. In contrast to mindfulness-based therapies such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), DBT makes a distinction between observe, describe, and participate (the “What Skills”) and teaches each as a separate skill. DBT makes explicit the way in which these skills are practised, i.e. non-judgementally, one-mindfully, and effectively (the “How Skills”). In addition, the skill of “Wise Mind” teaches the client how to make decisions and choices that provide a synthesis of both logical and emotional perspectives. Mindfulness skills are acquired in skills group, strengthened in individual therapy, and generalized via phone contact. Thus, the chapter is organized around these three modes of delivering therapy. Client examples and scenarios demonstrate the process and strategies used with attention to overcoming challenges that can arise when teaching these skills.

Pre Treatment

COVID-19 contact tracing applications have been deployed at a fast pace around the world and may be a key policy instrument to contain future waves in Canada. This study aims to explain public opinion toward cell phone contact tracing using a survey experiment conducted with a representative sample of Canadian respondents. We build upon an established theory in evolutionary psychology—disease avoidance—to predict how media coverage of the pandemic affects public support for containment measures. We report three key findings. First, exposure to a news item that shows people ignoring social distancing rules causes an increase in support for cell phone contact tracing. Second, pre-treatment covariates such as anxiety and a belief that other people are not following the rules rank among the strongest predictors of support for COVID-19 apps. And third, while a majority of respondents approve the reliance on cell phone contact tracing, many of them hold ambivalent thoughts about the technology. Our analysis of answers to an open-ended question on the topic suggests that concerns for rights and freedoms remain a salient preoccupation.

Three Phases

Chapter 3 outlines the general approach to exposure therapy including three phases: planning for exposure therapy, delivering exposure therapy, and processing exposure therapy. The first phase includes specific steps to take in planning for exposure therapy including the initial phone contact, administering a questionnaire battery, conducting the intake, and initiating self-monitoring. These steps guide the case formulation focused on maintaining factors (triggers/cues, appraisals, emotions, and actions/behaviors). Next the delivery of exposure therapy begins with socialization to the exposure therapy model and further planning by working together on an exposure planning worksheet. Exposure should then be delivered in a systematic, deliberate, repeated, and prolonged manner. Typical obstacles and traps to progress are discussed. Finally, the chapter describes postexposure processing, drawing attention to what was (and was not) learned and assigning homework.

As If

As part of a larger, combined qualitative-quantitative methods study of partner notification, 40 in-depth telephone interviews were conducted with patients diagnosed with Chlamydia from clinics in Victoria, ACT and Queensland to determine their usage and opinions of different methods partner notification. Overwhelmingly, personal methods such as telling partners face-to-face or over the phone were preferred to impersonal methods such as email, SMS and letter. Face-to-face was considered the "gold standard" in partner notification because it demonstrated courage, caring and respect. Phone contact, while considered insensitive and cowardly by some, was often used because it was quick, convenient and less confronting. Email was viewed as only being acceptable in certain circumstances, such as if the partner was overseas, because it was seen as impersonal and uncaring. SMS was considered the least acceptable method for telling partners with most interviewees seeing it as cold, disrespectful and "gutless". However, interviewees who were fearful of their partner's reaction or who had high numbers of casual partners were enthusiastic about an anonymous SMS facility. For both emails and SMS, interviewees were concerned that the message could be misunderstood, not taken seriously or shown to others. Letters, both from the patients or from their doctor, while not viewed as unfavourably as the newer technologies were less likely to be used. These findings suggest that people diagnosed with Chlamydia are reluctant to use the new technologies for partner notification, except in specific circumstances, and our efforts in developing partner notification resources may best be focused on giving patients the skills and confidence for personal interaction.

1520 Background: Chemoprevention is crucial for reducing lung cancer mortality. The implementation and conduct of such trials is complex. We evaluated accrual in an ongoing trial. Methods: We are conducting a study evaluating if enzastaurin, a protein kinase C beta inhibitor, decreases the Ki-67 labeling index in bronchial epithelium after 6 months of therapy compared to placebo. Eligibility includes age 45 or younger, smoking 30 or fewer packs per year, quit for less than one 1 year, and bronchial meta/dysplasia. Results: Two-thousand eight hundred and nine potential subjects were selected from our database. Between December 2007 and November 2009, 1,242 were invited to participate by an introductory letter and at least 3 attempted telephone contacts. Phone contact was established with 621 (50%) subjects. 245 (39%) declined, 238 (38%) were ineligible, and 138 (22%) were interested in trial participation. At the first face-to-face visit, 57 out of 138 (38%) were eligible, 71 (51%) had not quit smoking for less than 1 year, one (1%) was ineligible for other reasons, and nine (7%) visits are pending. All 57 eligible subjects had an induced sputum exam: 36 had atypia, 19 were normal, and two were inadequate. Bronchoscopies with white light and laser-induced fluorescence and three or fewer biopsies have been done on 22 subjects (4 pending, 4 withdrew, 6 ineligible for bronch). Three had normal histology at all sites, 16 had metaplasia, and two had dysplasia in at least one site (84% abnormal bronchial histology rate, 1 pending). No occult cancers were identified. Conclusions: Of 1,242 preselected potential participants, 11% presented for a first face-to-face visit, 4.6% were eligible after a sputum exam, and 2.4% were fully eligible for randomization. Thus, to reach the accrual goal of 186 patients, we estimate that we will need to contact 7,700 subjects. During our 12-month period, we accessed 1,242 patients with 2.0 FTE for study coordinators (not including the pathologist, bronchoscopist, and laboratory personnel). Our expectation had been to accomplish accrual over a period of 42 months from a pool of 2,809 existing putative patients. Unless our eligibility rate of 2.4% increases, further sources of patients must be identified to accomplish our accrual goal. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
