“…In line with this, the American Psychological Association developed a policy on the Evidence‐Based Psychotherapy (EBP) that emphasises integrating the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of the patient's culture, individual characteristics and personal preferences, stating that effectiveness of any psychotherapy is influenced by the unique characteristics of each patient, such as developmental history and life stage, personal problems, strengths, personality structure, functional status, readiness to change or engage in psychotherapy, degree of social support, and family and sociocultural factors (Cook, Schwartz, & Kaslow, ).…”

Objective To evaluate the changes in anxious and depressive symptomatology, self‐esteem and social adaptation in college students who attended group psychotherapy for 6 months. Method A quasi‐experimental, one‐group pretest–post‐test design was utilised. The effect of group psychotherapy on the symptoms of anxiety, depression, self‐esteem and social adjustment was evaluated in 41 college students, with depressive‐anxious disorders as principal diagnoses. For six months, they were treated with interactional‐type psychotherapy and with pharmacological treatment if necessary. Results Significant improvements were found in depressive symptoms (p = .0001), state anxiety (p = .001), self‐esteem evaluated with the Coopersmith Self‐Esteem Inventory (p = .039) and with the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale (p = .024) and social adaptation (p = .013). No effect was observed by gender or by adding pharmacological treatment. Conclusions Group psychotherapy may be useful in reducing depressive and anxious symptoms, and improving self‐esteem and social adaptation.

“…Neurological dysfunction must be treated with neurological solutions [59]. Psycho-education of Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) and Reward Deficiency System Solutions (RDSS) [12,60] should be made available to the addiction-recovery treatment industry, to practitioners, counselors, therapists for continuing educational units (CEU), to facilitate the delivery and integration of new perspective and new solutions [61,62].…”

Reward Deficiency Syndrome Solution Focused Brief Therapy (RDS-SFBT), provided in both individual and group therapy formats, in the practice of Addiction Recovery Treatment, will help the client understand the importance of the challenge to achieve dopamine homeostasis in the recovery process. RDS-SFBT introduces new Reward Deficiency Syndrome concepts and solutions to the practitioner-client world, helping to bridge the gap between the worlds of research and therapeutic practice [1]. Newly created RDS-SFBT will bring awareness of the advancements of cutting-edge global Reward Deficiency Syndrome research efforts [2], and expands the resource application available to the consumer.

“…We searched both databases in August 2018 for empirical studies published between January 1990 and August 2018 testing candidate mechanisms of implementation strategies. This starting date was selected given that the concept of evidence-based practice/evidence-based treatment/evidence-based medicine first gained prominence in the 1990's with the field of implementation science following in response to a growing consciousness of the research to practice gap [10,11]. The search terms were based on input from all authors who represent a variety of methodological and content expertise related to implementation science and reviewed by a librarian; see Table 3 for all search terms.…”

A systematic review of empirical studies examining mechanisms of implementation in health

Background: Understanding the mechanisms of implementation strategies (i.e., the processes by which strategies produce desired effects) is important for research to understand why a strategy did or did not achieve its intended effect, and it is important for practice to ensure strategies are designed and selected to directly target determinants or barriers. This study is a systematic review to characterize how mechanisms are conceptualized and measured, how they are studied and evaluated, and how much evidence exists for specific mechanisms. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed and CINAHL Plus for implementation studies published between January 1990 and August 2018 that included the terms "mechanism," "mediator," or "moderator." Two authors independently reviewed title and abstracts and then full texts for fit with our inclusion criteria of empirical studies of implementation in health care contexts. Authors extracted data regarding general study information, methods, results, and study design and mechanisms-specific information. Authors used the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool to assess study quality. Results: Search strategies produced 2277 articles, of which 183 were included for full text review. From these we included for data extraction 39 articles plus an additional seven articles were hand-entered from only other review of implementation mechanisms (total = 46 included articles). Most included studies employed quantitative methods (73.9%), while 10.9% were qualitative and 15.2% were mixed methods. Nine unique versions of models testing mechanisms emerged. Fifty-three percent of the studies met half or fewer of the quality indicators. The majority of studies (84.8%) only met three or fewer of the seven criteria stipulated for establishing mechanisms. Conclusions: Researchers have undertaken a multitude of approaches to pursue mechanistic implementation research, but our review revealed substantive conceptual, methodological, and measurement issues that must be addressed in order to advance this critical research agenda. To move the field forward, there is need for greater precision to achieve conceptual clarity, attempts to generate testable hypotheses about how and why variables are related, and use of concrete behavioral indicators of proximal outcomes in the case of quantitative research and more directed inquiry in the case of qualitative research.
