METHODS: To supplement clinical observations, a selective narrative literature review was conducted by searching PubMed and PsycInfo. RESULTS: When third-party observers were involved, therapists were likely to skew how they conducted psychotherapy...

OBJECTIVE: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals report higher rates of exposure to traumatic events and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared with heterosexual and cisgender individuals. No treatment outcomes research has focused on PTSD in the LGBTQ population. Trauma-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy (TFPP) is a brief, manualized, attachment- and affect-focused psychotherapy for PTSD. TFPP explicitly incorporates broad identity-related and societal factors into its conceptualization of trauma and its consequences, which may be especially helpful for LGBTQ patients with minority stress who seek affirmative care...

OBJECTIVE: Child therapy outcomes research has indicated that involving parents in child mental health treatments is generally beneficial. This study aimed to explore clinicians' decisions to involve parents in treatment for childhood disorders and child-, parent-, and clinician-related variables influencing these decisions. METHODS: Data on decision making and reported use of parent involvement by 40 therapists with patients ages 6-12 were obtained from a self-report survey...

OBJECTIVE: Interpersonal psychotherapy for adolescents (IPT-A) aims to treat depression by addressing one of four problem areas: grief, role disputes, role transitions, or interpersonal deficits. This study compared the characteristics of adolescents by problem area and evaluated the impact of problem area on outcomes. METHODS: Forty adolescents (ages 12-17) participated in a randomized trial of adaptive treatment strategies that included IPT-A. RESULTS: Adolescents with role disputes were younger than adolescents with interpersonal deficits or role transitions and had worse expectations for therapeutic alliance than those in the transitions group...

OBJECTIVE: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the preferred approach to treatment in mental health settings because it involves the integration of the best available research, clinical expertise, and patient values to optimize patient outcomes. Training on empirically supported treatments (ESTs) in mental health settings is an important component of EBP, and supervision of therapists' implementation of ESTs is critical for therapists to develop and maintain a strong EBP skill set. This study aimed to evaluate training and supervision histories of therapists in outpatient and inpatient psychiatric care settings as an essential first step in improving patient outcomes...

OBJECTIVE: Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based treatment for depression, demonstrating efficacy with adolescents and young adults. Social support is proposed to be an important treatment component and may be helpful for adolescents and young adults with chronic illness. The authors sought to assess the feasibility of delivering IPT to this population and to examine changes in depressive symptoms and perceived social support. METHODS: An open-label feasibility trial of group-based IPT was conducted for adolescents and young adults with chronic illness (N=17)...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Lina Normandin, Alan Weiner, Karin Ensink
This article is a tribute to Dr. Otto F. Kernberg and his contribution to the theoretical understanding of personality pathology in adolescence. In his object relations theory of the structure of personality, an integrated identity is considered central to healthy personality functioning and is contrasted with identity diffusion, which is posited to underlie the maladaptive interpersonal functioning of patients with severe personality disorders. His work provided an early theoretical foundation for the understanding and treatment of personality disorders in adults, but a need remained for a deeper understanding of the development and treatment of personality disorders during adolescence...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article was to construct an empirical bridge between object relations theory and attachment theory by investigating how researchers in both traditions have contributed to understanding and assessing identity diffusion (a keystone of personality pathology) and object relations in patients with borderline personality disorder during 1 year of transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP). METHODS: The Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the Structured Interview of Personality Organization (STIPO) were administered to patients (N=104, all women) before and after 1 year of treatment...

This article demonstrates the contribution of Otto Kernberg's object relations theory of personality pathology to the current understanding of the nature and assessment of personality pathology and diagnosis. The article introduces recent advances in psychiatric nosology and presents differing views on the meaning of the general severity criterion common to all personality pathology (i.e., level of personality functioning as described in criterion A of the Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders)...

Contemporary models of the diagnosis and classification of personality disorders have diverged from the categorical diagnostic framework of the DSM system. One response to this movement can be found in the Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD), which uses dimensions of personality functioning, coupled with identification of dominant pathological traits, to define and classify personality disorders. By applying psychodynamic object relations theory to the AMPD, therapists can enrich the understanding and assessment of personality functioning and pathology as described in the AMPD...

OBJECTIVE: This article discusses the development and initial clinimetric and psychometric properties of the Brief Multidimensional Assessment Scale (BMAS). The BMAS is an ultrabrief multidimensional measure of global patient well-being that can be used at every clinic visit to assess several facets of patients' perception of themselves, regardless of their diagnosis, at a moment in time and over the course of treatment. METHODS: Data were collected from 499 adults in the community as well as from psychiatric and medical inpatient and outpatient settings...

OBJECTIVE: Multifamily group (MFG) psychotherapy is widely used for mental and general medical conditions. MFG therapy engages family members in caring for a loved one experiencing illness and helps clarify the impact of illness on family. Use of MFG therapy for patients with nonepileptic seizures (NES) and their families to explore satisfaction with treatment and family functioning is described. METHODS: MFG therapy for patients with NES and their participating family members was incorporated into an existing interdisciplinary group-based psychotherapy treatment program...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and impact of participation by psychiatric residents in an academic institution's tiered psychotherapy pathway.

RESULTS: Thirteen graduates (59%) responded to the survey. Most respondents (92%) agreed that participating in the pathway exposed them to many psychotherapy modalities, and most (92%) agreed that their participation facilitated an in-depth understanding of one or more psychotherapy modalities of personal interest...

Patients with co-occurring substance use disorders and borderline personality disorder have high rates of morbidity, mortality, and utilization of medical services. Their acute symptoms present complex challenges to clinical staff in the medical emergency department related to both logistics and management of countertransference.
