Multidimensional patterns of change in outpatient psychotherapy: The phase model revisited

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 9 2007
Niklaus Stulz
In this study, groups of psychotherapy outpatients were identified on the basis of shared change patterns in the three dimensions of the phase model of psychotherapeutic outcome: well-being, symptom distress, and life functioning. Treatment courses provided by a national provider network of a managed care company in the United States (N = 1128) were analyzed using growth mixture models. Several initial patient characteristics (treatment expectations, amount of prior psychotherapy, and global assessment of functioning) allowed for the discrimination between three patient groups of shared change patterns. Those patterns can be classified into three groups as phase model consistent, partial rapid responders, or symptomatically highly impaired patients with each having typical change patterns. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prediction of dose,response relations based on patient characteristics

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 7 2001
Wolfgang Lutz
The recent discussion of evidence-based, adaptive treatment planning highlights the need for models for the prediction of courses of treatment response. We combine a dose,response model with growth curve modeling to determine dose,response relations for well-being, symptoms, and functioning. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to model each patient's expected course of improvement. The resulting predictions were cross-validated on two samples of psychotherapy outpatients. The results give further empirical support for the dose,response model and the phase model of psychotherapy as well as for the usefulness of patient treatment response profiling for individual treatment management. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Interrelating within the families of young psychotherapy outpatients

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY (AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THEORY & PRACTICE), Issue 3 2009
Argyroula E. Kalaitzaki
Interrelating is a combination of relating to and being related to by another. The Couple's Relating to Each Other Questionnaires (CREOQ) and the Family Members Interrelating Questionnaires (FMIQ) measure negative forms of both self and other relating, across a close/distant and an upper/lower axis. These were used to measure the interrelating between the parents of young adults, and between young adults and their parents, in a sample of young, Greek, psychotherapy outpatients and a comparable sample of non- patients. In a proportion of both samples, the interrelating of the young adults was compared with that of a well sibling. The patients' parents were significantly more distant towards each other than those of the non-patients. The interrelating between the patients and their parents was markedly worse than that between the non-patients and their parents. It was also markedly worse between the patients and their parents than between the siblings and their parents.,Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
