“…The Brief Psychodynamic Intervention (BPI), previously referred to as the Brief Psychodynamic Investigation, was developed in Lausanne, Switzerland. Details on the BPI technique are available elsewhere (Gilliéron, 1987(Gilliéron, , 1989a(Gilliéron, , 1989b(Gilliéron, , 1994(Gilliéron, , 1997Gilliéron & de Roten, 1996). In summary, the BPI is a crisis intervention that focuses on both the patient's conscious and unconscious reasons or motives for consultation.…”

This study examined the effectiveness of the Brief Psychodynamic Intervention (BPI). The BPI is a 4-session intervention aiming at (a) developing an optimal plan to resolve the patient's crisis situation through the use of an initial dynamic interpretation and its working through, (b) providing information on indications for further therapeutic interventions, and (c) furthering the development of early alliance. First, a pre-post design indicated that the BPI was effective in reducing symptom impairment with effect sizes of 0.38 for the SCL-90R Global Severity Index, 0.47 for the Hamilton Anxiety scale, 0.69 for the Hamilton Depression scale, and 0.26 for the Social Adjustment Scale Global Adaptation Score. A cross-sectional design comparing 61 patients who had completed the BPI with 61 patients on a waiting-list group indicated that the treatment accounted for (g 2) 17% of the variance in outcome.

“…Category 4, which defined insight as awareness of the need for treatment, was also relatively low in frequency. An example of Category 4 can be found in the following quote from Gillieron (1989), who wrote, "she showed sufficient insight, saying that she understood her motivations and decided to change her behavior" (p. 57). Notably, Category 4 definitions of insight were often implicit in Category 2 definitions of insight as awareness of a mental problem or disorder.…”

Definitions of clinical insight have changed over the course of the 20th century. Indeed, when viewed from a historical lens, the clinical literature contains multiple and diverse conceptualizations of insight. Yet, in contemporary clinical discourse, insight is typically conceived as the extent to which a person identifies as having a mental disorder that requires treatment. The present study traced the evolution of the clinical insight concept during the mid-to-late 20th century. In doing so, this project demonstrated the application of psychological research methods to the study of scholarly and scientific discourses in psychology. We conducted a systematic analysis of 125 archival texts from the 1940s to the 1990s. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis revealed diverse conceptualizations of insight that evolved over time. The transition to the 1990s was marked by shifts from conceptualizations of insight as awareness of self-experience to definitions focusing on awareness of a mental disorder. Additional analyses revealed between-decade differences in the extent to which insight was viewed as continuous and diachronic, as well as in reference to mental components and mechanisms. Discussion of these findings addresses the clinical and societal implications of shifting insight definitions, including ways in which these shifts have informed clinical research and practice.
