“…Hoehn-Saric, Frank, Imber, Nash, Stone, and Battle (1964) found that such a role induction procedure was beneficial for psychoanalytic therapy with patients who were predominantly young, white, and middle-class. In an extension of the Hoehn-Saric et al (1964) and Orne and Wender (1968) findings, Strupp and Bloxom (1973) developed a short film to prepare patients who were about to enter group psychotherapy. This film was compared with the role induction interview of Orne and Wender (1968) and with a neutral film.…”

Preparing low-income hispanic, black, and white patients for psychotherapy: Evaluation of a new orientation program

et al. 1983

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Examined the effectiveness of a new orientation program designed to prepare low‐income white and ethnic minority outpatients for psychotherapy. Sixty‐two Hispanic, 51 black, and 60 white psychiatric outpatients in a large public psychiatric clinic participated prior to their first psychotherapy interview. Patients were presented with one of two experimental conditions; the oriented patients saw an audiovisual program that instructed them about psychotherapy, and the control patients saw a program that was neutral with regard to psychotherapy. The patients' knowledge and attitudes toward psychotherapy were assessed with two questionnaires. Results indicated that patients who were oriented were more knowledgeable about psychotherapy and more positive in their attitudes toward psychotherapy than were patients who had not been oriented. The role and utility of brief orientation programs for low‐income and ethnic minority outpatients in public mental health facilities are discussed.

“…In the group literature, there are certain benefits attributed to pretraining: a positive expectancy about the group and higher levels of group interaction (Yalom, Houts, Newell, & Rand, 1967), increased patient satisfaction (Strupp & Bloxom, 1973), and higher productivity (Bednar & Battersby, 1976). The current investigation can be seen as a validation and an extension of this body of research.…”

The effects of cognitive pretraining on cohesion and self-disclosure in small groups: An analog study

1995

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examined the effects of written, cognitive pretraining on the development of cohesion and self‐disclosure in interpersonal learning groups. Subjects in the experimental condition received a written introduction to the group experience, and subjects in the control condition received written information on the history of group psychotherapy. Results demonstrated that the experimental groups had a higher level of group cohesion than the control groups, p < 0.0001, but were not different on self‐disclosure. The correlation between cohesion and self‐disclosure was not statistically significant. The results were discussed as an extension of the empirical support for cognitive pretraining.

“…Respondents also completed the PRI at that time. It should be noted that the data for these analyses were from a larger study in which half the participants were given an oral presentation about the process of psychotherapy (Strupp & Bloxum, 1973) after the interview about their social network. The variable "preparation condition" refers to this procedure.…”

The relationship between social network variables and the utilization of mental health services

One hundred‐fifty participants were interviewed about their social networks. Demographic measures and an index of social desirability were also obtained. A multiple regression of these variables against the number of outpatient psychotherapy sessions attended was computed. A statistically significant model accounting for 14% of the variance emerged. Despite the low proportion of variance accounted for by the model, a canonical coefficient accurately predicted attendance at only one therapy session 74.4% of the time. These data lend credence to the notion that the social network may exert an important influence on the utilization of mental health services. It further appears that specific areas or functions served by the network have differing influences on the individual. Implications for program development and service delivery are discussed.
