“…The paper by Abbass (2003), though referenced as a prepost study in the Abbass et al (2009) meta-analysis, was excluded here because it was actually a review or a "study of studies." Three non-English studies were unable to be considered because of difficulties obtaining them or having received them in nontranslatable format (Rudolf, Manz, & Ori, 1994;Sandell, Blomberg, & Lazar, 1999;Sandell, Blomberg, Lazar, Carlsson, Broberg, & Schubert, 2001).…”

Research and clinical observation suggest that men tend to avail themselves of therapeutic services far less so than women and engage in treatment research less so as well. How many men have actually been involved in short-term and long-term psychodynamic treatment research? To consider that question, I (a) obtained and examined 86 studies (1/1960–6/2008, drawn from six separate reviews/meta-analyses) of psychodynamic treatment conducted over the last decade and (b) reviewed each investigation to determine the number of male as opposed to female participants involved. Approximately one-third of the 86 studies were long-term in nature (involving a minimum of 50 sessions). The results were as follows: (a) of the 7,715 research participants, 2,688 were male; (b) 11% of the studies included no males, 9% failed to clearly specify the number of males that were involved, and 23% had a total of six males or less in either the entire sample or in the dynamic treatment group specifically; and (c) 40% of the male participants came from four data sets (five studies and one study correction), each of which focused on cocaine or opium addicts. Those data suggest that: (a) much like psychotherapy research in general, fewer men (40%) compared to women (60%) tend to participate in psychodynamic treatment research; (b) our most robust results about men appear to be about addicted men; and (c) otherwise, results about men collectively appear to be far from robust, and any interpretation seemingly should be guided by that reality.

História recente e perspectivas atuais da pesquisa de resultados em psicoterapia psicanalítica de longa duração

Este artigo apresenta a história recente - dos anos 90 a janeiro de 2006 - e as perspectivas atuais da pesquisa de resultados em psicoterapia psicanalítica de longa duração com pacientes adultos em ambulatório. São analisadas e citadas 21 investigações, das quais quatro foram desenvolvidas na América Latina e apenas uma no Brasil. Isso demonstra que, apesar da evolução nas investigações psicanalíticas de resultado, nos países latinos, o número de pesquisas ainda é escasso. A efetividade da psicoterapia psicanalítica é demonstrada de maneira significativa, com diversos delineamentos de pesquisa. Percebe-se uma evolução na metodologia de pesquisa utilizada nas investigações no decorrer dos anos. A preocupação em colocar a investigação psicanalítica consoante com princípios científicos, sem desconsiderar a subjetividade característica dessa abordagem, é marcante. Ressalta-se a importância da investigação psicanalítica para confirmar os pressupostos do corpo teórico e a eficácia/efetividade do tratamento e possibilitar a refutação e modificação da teoria psicanalítica.

“…The effectiveness of psychoanalytic psychotherapy has been demonstrated in different national [1][2][3][4] and international [5][6][7][8][9][10] studies, contributing to the development of evidence-based psychotherapy. [11][12][13] However, the effectiveness of such therapies depends on the establishment of precise indication and contraindication criteria.…”

Is it all grist to the mill? Wandering between indications for psychoanalytic treatment and the analytic field

Determining the indications and contraindications for psychoanalytic treatment seems crucial to achieve therapeutic success and improve treatment effectiveness. In reviewing the classic literature on the topic, aspects such as age, diagnosis, motivation for treatment, present moment in life, ability to gain insight, psychic suffering when seeking treatment, defensive behaviors, and frustration tolerance are clearly analyzed by therapists/ analysts when indicating psychoanalytic treatments. However, traditionally, most criteria underlying such indications date back to a time when the therapeutic relationship was viewed merely as a therapist treating a patient, with no regard to the therapeutic relationship itself. The goal of this article was to critically review the relevance and current adequacy of indications for psychoanalytic treatment, in view of advancements in knowledge on the analytic field. Considering cases that do not evolve as expected according to the indications, patients who are better suited to certain therapists, and therapist-patient pairs that modify their interaction over the course of treatment, the main question remains on how to identify the necessary elements in evaluating a candidate patient for psychoanalytic treatment, as well as the significant elements of therapeutic action. Keywords: Psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, indication, contraindication, analytic field. ResumoDeterminar critérios de indicação e contraindicação para tratamentos psicanalíticos parece um ponto técnico crucial para a obtenção de sucesso terapêutico e a elevação de seus índices de efetividade. Na revisão da literatura clássica sobre o tema, percebe-se que a idade, o diagnóstico do paciente, a motivação para tratamento, o momento de vida, a capacidade de insight, o sofrimento psíquico apresentado no momento da busca de tratamento, o estilo defensivo e a tolerância à frustração são alguns dos pontos analisados pelos terapeutas/analistas para indicar tratamentos psicanalíticos. Contudo, classicamente, tais indicações provêm de um período em que a relação terapêutica era vista meramente como um terapeuta atendendo um paciente, sem levar em conta a relação terapêutica propriamente dita. O objetivo deste artigo foi revisar criticamente a relevância e pertinência atual das indicações para tratamento psicanalítico, tendo em vista a evolução dos conhecimentos sobre o campo analítico. Considerando casos que não evoluem da maneira esperada segundo as indicações, pacientes que se adaptam melhor a determinados terapeutas e duplas que modificam sua interação ao longo do tempo de tratamento, a principal questão continua sendo como identificar quais seriam os elementos necessários na avaliação de um paciente candidato a tratamento psicanalítico, bem como os elementos significativos da ação terapêutica. Descritores: Psicanálise, psicoterapia psicanalítica, indicação, contraindicação, campo analítico.
