“…Group Therapy Outcome Research Burlingame, Furhiman, and Johnson (2004) have summarized group psychotherapy outcome studies according to specific populations (e.g., schizophrenia, mood disorders) and to the role that group therapy has played as the primary or adjunct means of treatment. They concluded that the magnitude of outcome evidence is largely dependent upon the specific population being examined.…”

“…Outcome studies support group therapy as an effective adjunct to other treatments for individuals with schizophrenia and with medical illnesses such as cancer (Burlingame et al, 2004). As these disorders also possess certain commonalities that lend themselves to universality within the group, multicultural considerations should also be included in treatment planning and delivery.…”

“…Mixed or untested evidence for the effectiveness of group therapy as a primary means of treatment has been found among individuals suffering from mood disorders and among elders (Burlingame et al, 2004). Because of heterogeneity of experiencing mood disorders and aging both between and within cultures, universality and group cohesion may be more difficult to establish.…”

“…In their review of group therapy process research findings, Burlingame et al (2004) identified a number of overarching process components (e.g., verbal interaction, therapeutic relationship, group format) and then assessed the quality of evidence for them. Below we advance practice suggestions for adapting EBP group process research to culturally diverse therapy groups.…”

Multicultural competence and evidence‐based practice in group therapy

The multicultural competence (MC) and evidence-based practice (EBP) initiatives have each generated healthy debates in the mental health field, with ample implications for clinical training and practice. Using two case illustrations, we highlight practical challenges and prospects in the intersection of MC and EBP. To facilitate complementary practice of MC and EBP, we offer strategies for the group therapist as a "local clinical scientist" to deliver culturally responsive treatments. We stress the importance of cultural adaptation of EBP models, namely, modifying evidence-based interventions that involve changes in service delivery, in the nature of the therapeutic relationship, or in components of the treatment itself to accommodate the cultural beliefs and behaviors of racial-cultural minority clients. Cultural adaptation of EBP in group therapy needs to be grounded in developmental contextualism and social justice. We discuss the two cases with an eye toward advancing multicultural competence in group therapy.

“…For example, there is an entire chapter devoted to a detailed review of the efficacy of group treatments for various disorders in the latest edition of the Handbook of Psychotherapy and Behavior Change (Burlingame, Strauss, & MacKenzie, 2004;Lambert, 2004). A shorter summary of this information, along with a summary of the evidence of group treatments for various patient populations can be found in Burlingame, Fuhriman, and Johnson (2004). In addition, many of the Web sites listed above contain references to treatment manuals and study descriptions that can be examined to determine whether the tested treatments were individual, group, or family treatments.…”

Resources that summarize research-supported treatments (RSTs) are useful tools in clinical decision making. These resources can be particularly helpful when clinicians are uncertain about which treatment direction to take, when treatment does not seem to be working, when clinicians need to justify their approach to others, and when clinicians do not have time to review recent research on a particular clinical issue. This article describes resources for finding short, user-friendly summaries of research-supported group treatments, briefly describes several research-supported group treatments that are not well described in existing resources, and recommends several ways in which these research summaries can be used to improve group practice.

Understanding university student priorities for mental health and well‐being support: A mixed‐methods exploration using the person‐based approach

et al. 2022

Poor student well-being at UK universities is overstretching institutional support services, highlighting a need for effective new resources. Despite extensive literature on mental health and well-being interventions, students' engagement with support remains unexplored. The study aimed to understand students' experience of engagement with well-being support, identify their well-being needs and form concrete recommendations for future intervention design and delivery. The Person-Based Approach to intervention design was followed to centralise users' experience, in turn maximising acceptability and effectiveness of resources. An online survey (N = 52) was followed by three focus groups (N = 14). Survey data were analysed descriptively, and reflexive thematic analysis was performed on qualitative data.Mixed-methods data integration produced four key student priorities for well-being resources -ease of access, inclusive and preventative approach, sense of community and a safe space, and applying skills to real-life contexts. Five actionable guiding principles for intervention design were produced through consultation with expert stakeholders. This work helps understand why and how students engage with support at university. The resulting recommendations can inform future intervention development, leading to more acceptable, engaging and effective student well-being resources. K E Y W O R D Sintervention development, mental health, person-based approach, university students, wellbeing | INTRODUCTIONOne in five university students experience mental health concerns, a five-fold increase over the past decade (Thorley, 2017). Students also report poorer well-being (i.e., subjective feelings of life satisfaction and fulfilment -a term broader than and distinct from mental health; Barkham et al., 2019;Hughes & Spanner, 2019) than the general population (Insight Network & Dig-In, 2020). Affected students often underperform or fail academically (Vaez & Laflamme, 2008), or drop out of university altogether (Thorley, 2017), with long-term implications for achievement, careers and life outcomes (Royal College of Psychiatrists [RCP], 2011).
