understanding how and why Psychotherapy leads to change
Psychotherapy Research, 2009Co-Authors: Alan E KazdinAbstract:The rich Research literature on psychotherapies for children, adolescents, and adults has identified several interventions that can ameliorate or effect significant change in psychiatric disorders and a variety of social, behavioral, and emotional problems and can enhance medical outcomes and recovery. After decades of Psychotherapy Research and thousands of studies, there is no evidence-based explanation of how or why even the most well-studied interventions produce change, that is, the mechanisms through which treatments operate. This article discusses central requirements for demonstrating mediators and mechanisms of change. Also presented are promising lines of work to identify mediators and mechanisms, ways of bringing to bear multiple types of evidence, recommendations to make progress in understanding how therapy works, and conceptual and Research challenges in evaluating mediators and mechanisms.

evidence based treatment and practice new opportunities to bridge clinical Research and practice enhance the knowledge base and improve patient care
American Psychologist, 2008Co-Authors: Alan E KazdinAbstract:The long-standing divide between Research and practice in clinical psychology has received increased attention in view of the development of evidence-based interventions and practice and public interest, oversight, and management of psychological services. The gap has been reflected in concerns from those in practice about the applicability of findings from Psychotherapy Research as a guide to clinical work and concerns from those in Research about how clinical work is conducted. Research and practice are united in their commitment to providing the best of psychological knowledge and methods to improve the quality of patient care. This article highlights issues in the Research- practice debate as a backdrop for rapprochement. Suggestions are made for changes and shifts in emphases in Psychotherapy Research and clinical practice. The changes are designed to ensure that both Research and practice contribute to our knowledge base and provide information that can be used more readily to improve patient care and, in the process, reduce the perceived and real hiatus between Research and practice.

treatment integrity in Psychotherapy Research analysis of the studies and examination of the associated factors
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2007Co-Authors: Francheska Perepletchikova, Teresa A Treat, Alan E KazdinAbstract:Treatment integrity refers to the degree to which an intervention is delivered as intended. Two studies evaluated the adequacy of treatment integrity procedures (including establishing, assessing, evaluating, and reporting integrity; therapist treatment adherence; and therapist competence) implemented in Psychotherapy Research, as well as predictors of their implementation. Randomized controlled trials of psychosocial interventions published in 6 influential psychological and psychiatric journals were reviewed and coded for treatment integrity implementation. Results indicate that investigations that systematically addressed treatment integrity procedures are virtually absent in the literature. Treatment integrity was adequately addressed for only 3.50% of the evaluated psychosocial interventions. Journal of publication and treatment approach predicted integrity implementation. Skill-building treatments (e.g., cognitive-behavioral) as compared with non-skill-building interventions (e.g., psychodynamic, nondirective counseling) were implemented with higher attention to integrity procedures. Guidelines for implementation of treatment integrity procedures need to be reevaluated.

mediators and mechanisms of change in Psychotherapy Research
Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, 2007Co-Authors: Alan E KazdinAbstract:There has been enormous progress in Psychotherapy Research. This has culminated in recognition of several treatments that have strong evidence in their behalf. Even so, after decades of Psychotherapy Research, we cannot provide an evidence-based explanation for how or why even our most well studied interventions produce change, that is, the mechanism(s) through which treatments operate. This chapter presents central requirements for demonstrating mediators and mechanisms of change and reviews current data-analytic and designs approaches and why they fall short of meeting these requirements. The role of the therapeutic alliance in Psychotherapy and cognitive changes in cognitive therapy for depression are highlighted to illustrate key issues. Promising lines of work to identify mediators and mechanisms, ways of bringing to bear multiple types of evidence, recommendations to make progress in understanding how therapy works, and conceptual and Research challenges in evaluating mediators and mechanisms are also presented.

pursuing the question of reflexivity in Psychotherapy and qualitative methods the contributions of david l rennie
Cancer Prevention Research, 2015Co-Authors: Heidi M Levitt, Ethan C Lu, Andrew Pomerville, Francisco I SuraceAbstract:Background This article documents the intellectual contributions of the psychologist David Rennie to the fields of Psychotherapy Research, qualitative methods and humanistic psychology by tracing the central position of reflexivity across these bodies of work. This work had a profound influence on his field and led to his viewing the fostering of clients’ reflexivity as the central task of Psychotherapy. Aims It follows his path as a Researcher, beginning with his advancement of grounded theory methods and their application within Psychotherapy Research. His development of a humanistic experiential person-centred approach to Psychotherapy is described as an extension of this valuing of reflexivity and the recognition of the role of clients’ agency within sessions. In addition, the paper reviews the innovative methodological Research that led him to propose a model of inferential processes that underlies qualitative Research methods and that is rooted in the process of embodied reflexivity. His contextualising qualitative methods within a form of methodical hermeneutics permitted a unifying framework for understanding the logic of qualitative methods.

conversation analysis a powerful tool for psychoanalytic practice and Psychotherapy Research
Language and Psychoanalysis, 2013Co-Authors: Michael B Buchholz, Horst KacheleAbstract:Psychoanalysis does not have an easy stand in documenting what “clinical facts” are. This paper proposes to use an established Research tool such as Conversation Analysis (CA) in order to analyze how psychoanalytic conversation is performed in the consulting room. The vicinity of CA-approaches and psychoanalytic intuitions is documented by selected examples. We provide an outline of CA-Research in psychoanalysis. Finally we debate whether psychoanalysis be science or hermeneutics; these positions are seen as two sides of a coin. One side is always in the dark. Metaphorically speaking, the future will have the task to bring this coin to an upright stand which can be managed only when the coin is given a thrilling turn by acknowledging that both, hermeneutics and science, in far reaching dimensions ignored the (micro-)social dimension of the psychoanalytic endeavor: conversation, talk-in-interaction. This will help to more clearly get in view what “clinical facts” are.

nonverbal synchrony a new approach to better understand psychotherapeutic processes and drop out
Journal of Psychotherapy Integration, 2017Co-Authors: Jane Paulick, Fabian Ramseyer, Wolfgang Tschacher, Annekatharina Deisenhofer, Kaitlyn Boyle, Julian A Rubel, Wolfgang LutzAbstract:Video-based measurement methods are new to Psychotherapy Research and provide new opportunities to investigate mechanisms of psychotherapeutic change related to nonverbal synchrony (movement coordination between patient and therapist). In this study, we validated the applied video-based procedures and evaluated nonverbal synchrony in association with the therapeutic relationship, therapy outcome, and drop-out. The naturalistic analysis sample consisted of 143 patients (136 videotaped sessions), who were treated with integrative cognitive–behavioral therapy at an out- patient clinic in southwest Germany. The videos were analyzed using Motion Energy Analysis (MEA), which provided a value for nonverbal synchrony. Patients routinely completed questionnaires assessing the therapeutic relationship and treatment success. We tested various confounding variables using multilevel modeling and investigated nonverbal synchrony in relation to measures of the therapeutic relationship. Further- more, we compared different types of outcomes with regard to nonverbal synchrony by means of multilevel modeling. The video-based procedures were shown to be highly valid. We found a link between the amount of nonverbal synchrony and therapeutic success; patients with nonimprovement and consensual termination showed the highest level, improved patients a medium level, and nonimproved patients with drop-out the lowest level of synchrony at the beginning of therapy, even when controlling for the therapeutic relationship. The study applied and evaluated a novel video-based approach in Psychotherapy Research and related it to common factors and the therapeutic process. Limitations of the automatic measurement methods and opportunities for the future routine prediction of drop-out are discussed.

patient focused Psychotherapy Research and individual treatment progress as scientific groundwork for an empirically based clinical practice
Psychotherapy Research, 2002Co-Authors: Wolfgang LutzAbstract:Clinicians, outpatient centers, and clinics throughout the world are systematically collecting data over the course of Psychotherapy, including follow-up, to support ‘flagging’ procedures for individual cases. One goal is to provide objective case and program quality evaluations at the end of treatment. Another aim is to use treatment process, outcome, and follow-up information to support clinical decisions at the beginning of, during, and after treatment. These data, by-products of clinical work, can have useful applications within a patient-focused Psychotherapy Research strategy. The author presents patient-focused Psychotherapy Research as an alternative strategy to efficacy and effectiveness Research. He also describes 2 examples that illustrate the individualized prediction of therapeutic progress and the development of treatment-relevant decision rules to inform ongoing clinical practice.
