Filter by:A randomized 2-group controlled trial will be conducted to explore the potential effect and potential feasibility of a new Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tele-counselling program to improve mental health services for family caregivers of persons with dementia in the province of New Brunswick in Canada. The ACT tele-counselling program was launched in January 2021 with the aim of improving access to high quality psychotherapy for family caregivers, particularly in rural areas. A target sample size of 80 participants will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the ACT program or to usual care services. Mixed methods (QUANTITATIVE + qualitative) will be used to evaluate the potential impact of the ACT program compared to usual care on participant's mental health, and to generate recommendations for the expansion and continuation of the program outside of the province.
Participants with Borderline pathology (≥ 3 DSM-IV-criteria) receiving an inpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program completed a quality assurance questionnaire set assessing demographic information and pretreatment psychopathology during the days of their inpatient stay. Beyond that, changes of therapists were documented.
This study investigates whether within- and between-patient effects of attachment moderate the association between self-disclosure and psychotherapy outcome.
Obesity has reached pandemic proportions in recent years, affecting not only the physical health, but also the mental health, of obese people. According to Spain's National Health Survey 2011-12, the prevalence of obesity in the adult population of Spain was 17%, having increased by 2.5% since 2006. Therefore, a constant and worrying increase in the prevalence of obesity is being observed, which is having a great impact, both individually, in terms of health and quality of life, and socially, inter alia, by raising health expenditure due to increased morbidity. In this context, the desirability of a comprehensive approach that includes psychological intervention in attending obese patients (Rev Cochrane, 2006), has been given greater prominence. Paying attention to the emotional and psychopathological aspects related to obesity has proven to be an action that could have positive impact on obesity intervention models. The aim of this project is to measure, through a clinical trial, the efficacy of a psychotherapy group program for obesity patients who are attended by the consulting endocrinologist at the Infanta Leonor Hospital (Madrid). The impact of body mass index, psychological wellbeing, psychopathology and quality of life of two experimental study groups will be compared, one a control group of patients that follows the standard treatment, the other an experimental group that follows not only the standard treatment, but also the psychotherapy group intervention program.
This study evaluates a professional development program intended to improve the relationship or alliance between therapists and patients/clients who are receiving psychotherapy in the community. Half of the participating therapists will receive training to detect and improve alliance with new patients while half will not. The professional development training is expected to improve therapists effectiveness in identifying and correcting alliance tensions which will, in turn, improve therapeutic outcomes for patients/clients.
