Interpersonal Counseling in the Treatment of Adolescent Depression: A Randomized Controlled Effectiveness and Feasibility Study in School Health and …
2019
AbstractIn order to offer early and accessible treatment for adolescents with depression, brief and effective treatments in adolescents’ everyday surroundings are needed. This randomized controlled trial studied the preliminary effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of interpersonal counseling (IPC) and brief psychosocial support (BPS) in school health and welfare services. The study was conducted in the 28 lower secondary schools of a large city in Southern Finland, randomized to provide either IPC or BPS. Help-seeking 12–16-year-old adolescents with mild-to-moderate depression, with and without comorbid anxiety, were included in the study. Fifty-five adolescents received either 6 w…
The effects of castration and of progestin-oestrogen combinations upon avoidance condtioning in female rats
1970
Summary Using avoidance conditioning the authors show that female rats, three months after castration, emit a lower number of responses. Isolation has no effect whatever on rats, whether normal or castrated. Brief treatment with progestin-oestrogen combinations, interrupted 60 hours before the commencement of the session, brings the behaviour of castrated rats back to the norm. Identical effects occur with the use of a cortical stimulating drug (methylphenidate); while, the action of this drug soon ceases, the effect of hormonal treatment lasts for the duration of the experiments. The results are discussed with reference to the significance to be attributed to the experiments.
Early and Later Predictors of Outcome in Brief Therapy: The Role of Real Relationship
2012
Objectives The study examined whether clients who continued longer in brief therapy reported stronger associations of real relationship and working alliance with therapy outcome than clients who received very brief treatment. It also examined whether real relationship and working alliance assessed early in treatment predicted outcome differently from that assessed later in therapy. Method Fifty clients (32 women; Mage = 22.3 years) were recruited from a university counseling center. Thirty-two clients (very brief therapy) completed the post-third session assessment of real relationship and working alliance, and 18 (brief therapy) had both the third and eighth assessment. Results The real re…
