The first experimental study of transference work–in teenagers (FEST–IT): a multicentre, observer- and patient-blind, randomised controlled component study

Abstract: Background Little is known about the influence on outcome of exploration of the patient-therapist relationship (that is, transference work) in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We hypothesized that depressed adolescents would have better long-term effects from psychoanalytic psychotherapy with than without transference work. Methods Depressed adolescent (16 to 18 years) were recruited in health authority funded out-patient clinics in Oslo and Vestfold … Show more

“…Whilst the IMPACT study helped to demonstrate the effectiveness of STPP for depressed adolescents, questions remained about mechanisms of change. Addressing the need to investigate whether specific psychotherapeutic techniques influence outcome, the FEST-IT study (Ulberg et al, 2012(Ulberg et al, , 2021 randomised 69 depressed adolescents to 28 sessions of STPP with or without TW. In the FEST-IT study, TW is defined as the therapist working directly with the client-therapist relationship as it is manifested in the therapy setting, as compared to a therapy in which the therapist may be aware of transference dynamics but does not explicitly address these in the clinical setting.…”

“…The described factors in the model are based upon a depiction of symptoms and problems, precipitating stressors or events, predisposing life events or stressors. This model for development of case formulations has been adopted in the British study, Improving Mood with Psychoanalytic and Cognitive Therapies [ 15 , 34 ], and in the First Experimental Study of Transference–In Teenagers (FEST-IT) [ 35 ]. Focused short-term treatments based on personalized case formulations may result in a good outcome, even in cases with patients with severe psychopathology.…”
