“…Skill and experience of the therapist may also be important for continuation in therapy [ 18,27,28], as well as whether the therapist feels he likes the patient [29], A few studies have focused on the interaction of thera pist and patient factors. Similarity of demographic char acteristics between clients and therapists have been found to have a positive effect on therapeutic expectations and outcome [30][31][32], although other studies suggest this may not be the case [33][34][35], Similarity of cognitive character istics between therapists and clients has been associated with favourable outcome [36][37][38], while still other re search has failed to confirm this [39][40][41], More recently, similar locus of control orientations between therapist and client has been associated with more favourable client expectations [42], Knowledge of the role of the patient-therapist relation ship in dropout also remains elusive. This may seem odd given that psychotherapeutic process and outcome can be viewed as largely mediated by the patient-therapist rela tionship [43], Mutuality of goals and agreement regarding tasks and responsibilities are important elements of this relationship [44], Yet patients and therapists may dis agree about the most effective ways of realising such goals [45,46] and researchers may need to become more aware of the ways in which events occurring in therapy are per ceived differently by therapists and patients.…”

Why Do Eating Disorder Patients Drop Out?

Background: Dropout from psychotherapy is an important problem that has received little systematic attention. Although previous research suggests that the number of patients who drop out is considerable, it is not clear why they drop out or what might be done to limit the problem. The present study attempted to examine the role of the patient-therapist relationship as well as other variables for dropout among eating disorder patients. Methods: Eating disorder patients and their therapists were assessed on a measure of treatment expectations previously developed by the author: the former were also assessed on measures of psychiatric symptoms (Crown-Crisp Experiential Index) and eating disorder psychopathology (Eating Disorder Inventory), as well as relevant background and treatment variables. Patients were divided into those who had completed their course of treatment, and those who dropped out during assessment or treatment. Results: Lack of congruence between patients’ and therapists’ expectations of potential treatment interventions was associated with increased risk of dropout, whereas other patient-, therapist-and treatment-specific factors were not. In particular, dropouts had significantly greater expectations of being helped by insight-related interventions than their therapists. Conclusions: Dropout among eating disorder patients appears to be related to the patient-therapist relationship. It may be important for therapists to openly discuss patient expectations of treatment from the outset, and focus on particular areas of discrepancy to limit potential dropout.

“…Aux États-Unis, l'intervention de crise visait à ses débuts à combler l'inadéquation et l'inefficacité des services psychiatriques traditionnels auprès des populations les plus démunies et les plus délaissées par les services de santé privé et public 17 , objectif atteint selon Gottschalk et al (1967) et Swartzburg et Schwartz (1976). Mais pour Luborsky étal., (1971,1975) et Myers et al (1975), ce type d'intervention est plus appropriée pour des gens scolarisés et mieux nantis.…”

Cet aricle est une revue de la littérature extensive sur l'intervention de crise. Les auteurs explorent les fondements théoriques de cette approche et les évaluent grâce à une analyse approfondie des recherches sur ce sujet. Plus précisément, ils énoncent une définition de la crise, les classifient, explicitent son processus et décrivent comment se réalise une intervention en situation de crise. Dans la deuxième partie, ils examinent le phénomène de Ia dépendance et les facteurs déterminants au cours de ce processus. Ensuite, ils scrutent le postulat des facteurs précipitants pour déboucher, suite à sa critique, sur la nécessité de considérer les facteurs médiateurs comme variables explicatives de la résolution de la crise.This article is an extensive review of literature on crisis intervention. The authors explore the theoretical grounds of this approach and rate them by means of a thorough analysis of the research done on the subject. More precisely they elaborate a definition of a crisis, provide a classification of same, explain its process and describe how the intervention develops in a crisis situation. They examine, in the second part, the dependence phenomenon, and the determining factors encountered. Then, they study the notion of the triggering factors that lead them to the necessity of taking into account the mediatory factors and explanatory variables in the resolution of the crisis

“…Similarly, Gottschalk et al (1967), Luborsky et al (1971 and Gelford and Hartford (1968) have used the approach for the evaluation of therapeutic services. With regard to training programmes for parents in behavioural management, these have been described in systems terms by Berkowitz and Graziano ( 1972) and Miller ( 1975).…”

Family therapy training research: systems model and review

This paper proposes that a systems approach to the organization of family therapy training courses would be advantageous to trainers and researchers alike. A family therapy training programme development model is outlined. Using the stages of this model as a framework, the research into family therapy training is reviewed. The field still remains in its infancy and the quantity of research is relatively sparse. Developments have, however, been made and these auger well for the future. IntroductionRecent years have seen the rapid increase in the need for family therapy training and there has been a proliferation of training programmes of various types. Unfortunately, in common with psychotherapy training generally, these programmes have been constructed in pragmatic ways because the availability of empirical evidence to aid course building is very sparse. Research into the training of family therapy is therefore necessary in order to ensure that training courses and programmes are organized in the most efficient and effective manner. The training process is a very complex and multifarious activity, and the researcher needs to be able to select out and specify particular issues for particular study. This paper sets out a scheme which attempts to organize this field and hence offer course designers, trainers and researchers a model on which to base their decisions.A variant of the application of systems theory is an approach to general organizational issues and planning (Gagne, 1966). The objective of this approach is to reduce complex problems and relationships to simple outputs which can be used by the planner in arriving at the 'best' decision in terms of effectiveness and erkiency.
