“…Halfon and Goodman (2020) investigates the associations between ideal session prototypes and psychotherapy outcome in psychodynamic child psychotherapy with a group of 95 children over 379 sessions. Halfon, Cavdar, et al (2020), Halfon, Ozsoy, et al (2020) and Halfon and Besiroglu (2020b) are addressing the Turkish adaptations of Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents, the Therapy Process Observational Coding System—Alliance Scale and the Reflective Function Coding on the Parent Development Interview, consecutively, using baseline scales of some of the same children in this study. Halfon, Doyran et al (2020) employ machine learning procedures to predict affect scores from 53 children and 148 sessions.The submitted manuscript is different from other manuscripts in that it assesses psychodynamic technique and therapeutic alliance in the same model using longitudinal measures of problem behaviors, which has not been investigated previously.…”

Objective: This study is the first to investigate the effect of psychodynamic technique (PT), therapeutic alliance, and their interactions with outcome in psychodynamic child psychotherapy. Method: The sample comprised 79 Turkish children (mean age = 6.86 years, 38% girls) with discrete internalizing (22%), discrete externalizing (11%) and comorbid internalizing and externalizing (67%) problems. Independent raters coded 359 sessions from different phases of treatment using the Child Psychotherapy Process Q-Sort for PT and Therapy Process Observational Coding System-Alliance Scale. Problem-assessment measures were collected at intake and every 10th session in treatment using the Children’s Behavior Checklist and Brief Problem Monitor. Results: Multilevel modeling analyses indicated that the PT and therapeutic alliance interacted such that more use of the PT in the context of high therapeutic alliance predicted less problem behaviors, whereas in the context of low therapeutic alliance PT predicted more problem behaviors. This relationship was moderated by problem comorbidity such that for children with comorbid problems, though a strong therapeutic alliance was indicated, an increase in PT use did not have a significant effect. Conclusion: Findings suggest that the use of psychodynamic interventions is indicated in the context of a strong therapeutic alliance, especially for children with noncomorbid problems. Psychodynamic interventions may have an adverse effect if a therapeutic alliance is not established. For children with comorbid problems, keeping the relationship strong is important.

“…The sample mostly comprised of children who showed borderline or clinical levels of problem behaviors (Mean CBCL each rated from 0 (no problem) to 4 (severe impairment). The scale has good reliability and internal validity [30] and was adapted to Turkish [35]. Only item 9 ("problems with emotional and related symptoms") was included in the current study to provide descriptive data on the extent to which children display depressive and anxiety symptoms (see Table 1).…”

Utilizing multiple informants to assess children’s depressive symptoms increases diagnostic accuracy, reliability, and validity of inferences. However, previous studies have found low to moderate agreement among informants. We applied network statistics to gain insight into children and their mothers’ differential perceptions of depressive symptoms. The sample included children and mother dyads (n = 185) who applied to psychotherapy services at an outpatient university clinic. Mothers filled out the Child Behavior Checklist, which includes a depression subscale, and children filled out the Children’s Depression Inventory. We computed association networks for thirteen depressive symptoms separately for children and mothers using the graphical LASSO. Sadness had the highest strength centrality in the networks of both children and mothers, but the pattern of connectivity and centrality of other symptoms differed. We discussed our findings within the framework of network theory.

“…This database is part of the same research program that was designed to investigate the baseline predictors and effective treatment factors associated with outcome in psychodynamic child psychotherapy. Subsamples of this data, with partial overlaps with the data used in the manuscript, have been used in prior research to investigate baseline mental state talk characteristics of children (Halfon, Coşkun, Bekar & Steele, 2020), ideal session prototypes (Halfon & Goodman, 2020), psychodynamic technique and therapeutic alliance characteristics of the sessions (Halfon, 2020) and psychometric properties of collected measures (Halfon, Çavdar, & Kara, 2020; Halfon, Ozsoy, Kara & Cavdar,2020; Halfon & Besiroglu, 2020).…”

Mentalization, operationalized as reflective function, is defined as the capacity to understand behavior in terms of mental states. Mentalization can be self-focused (i.e., mentalizing that focuses on one’s own thoughts and feelings) or other-focused (i.e., mentalizing that focuses on others’ thoughts and feelings). Some studies in adult psychotherapy show the importance of patients’ mentalization capacity for treatment outcome; however, this has not yet been investigated in psychodynamic child psychotherapy. This study aimed to investigate whether baseline parental reflective function (PRF) and children’s mental state talk (MST) predicted changes in emotional and behavioral problems in psychodynamic child psychotherapy. The sample included 60 Turkish school-age children (Mage = 7.90, SD = 1.35, 43.3% girls) with internalizing (18.3%), externalizing (5%), and comorbid (56.7%) problems, and 20% of the children were in the nonclinical range. The mothers were interviewed using the Parent Development Interview, which was coded for PRF (self- and child-focused). Children were administered an attachment-based story stem task, coded for MST (self- and other-focused). The Brief Problem Monitor was administered every month over the course of treatment for a total of 366 sessions. Multilevel modeling analyses indicated that mothers’ child-focused PRF and children’s self-focused MST predicted changes in problem behaviors. Parents’ mentalization about their children and children’s mentalization about their own internal states could be predictors of treatment response in psychodynamic child psychotherapy.
