“…They seem to reflect the caller's felt need for getting some sort of help. Motivation has been studied by many researchers as an antecedent variable related to improvement of psychiatric patients (Cartwright & Lerner, 1963;Rosen thai & Frank, 1958;Ross & Mendelsohn, 1958;Schoenberg & Carr, 1963). The unique contribution of the present study is that it suggests new ways of operationalizing motivation, based on indexes in the initial call.…”

This study involves an exploratory content analysis of taped telephone calls to a suicide prevention and crisis service. The aim of the research was to discover variables that might differentiate between referrals resulting in "show" and those resulting in "no show." Forty calls-a show and a no show for each of 20 telephone therapists-were coded. It was concluded that a scale based on six indexes would differentiate between the two groups. Motivation of the caller for getting help and the concreteness of the therapist emerged as most important factors in th six-item scale. The relationship between this research and a crisis intervention model is discussed.

“…is well documented. It appears that psy chological methods are at least as effective as the classical medical procedures [34]. Behav ioural therapy can influence the maladaptive scratching behaviour by selectively presenting the withdrawal of the conditioned reinforcers.…”

As the skin is an organ that has a primary function in tactile receptivity and reacts directly upon emotional stimuli, dermatological practice involves a psychosomatic dimension. It is, however, the high visibility of dermatoses and their easy accessibility which make the skin a direct target for behavioural problems. Furthermore, self-destructive tendencies and hypochondriacal features often express themselves through dermatological symptoms: dermatits artefacta and skin hypochondriasis are among the specific psychocutaneous disorders discussed here. In view of the clinical interface between dermatology and psychiatry, general guidelines are formulated and specific aspects of psychotherapy, behavioural treatment and psychotropic drug treatment are discussed.

“…Relaxation therapy with biofeedback (Gray & Lawlis, 1982;Haynes, Wilson, Jaffe, andBritton, 1979, McMenamy, Katz, andGipson, 1988), in combination with cognitive and behavioural interventions (Cole, Roth, & Sachs, 1988;Horne et al, 1989, Ratliff & Stein, 1968, or hypnosis (Brown & Bettley, 1971) has led to significant improvements in many patients studied. Brief psychodynamic psychotherapy has also led to significant reductions in symptoms for a proportion of patients which have been maintained at follow-up (Brown & Bettley, 1971;Cormia, 1951;Schoenberg & Carr, 1963), though this has not always been demonstrated (Seitz, 1953). Therefore, the evidence regarding the relationship between emotional distress in the form of anxiety or depression and atopic dermatitis is more consistent.…”

“…All the T --scores were between the normal levels of 45 and 65, and there was no consistent pattern with regard to maximum scale scores or profile. Schoenberg and Carr (1963), in an article concerning brief psychotherapy for neurodermatitis, describe the administration of the MMPI to 26 patients attending a dermatology department of a hospital who were selected for brief psychotherapy, following the work of Seitz (1953). Results are only discussed in terms of comparison of those whose skin condition improved and those whose skin did not improve.…”

“…The findings from the field of psychoneuroimmunology reviewed in chapter 1 suggest potential pathways by which emotional stress may lead to exacerbations of the skin disorder. Studies have shown that interventions to reduce stress levels such as relaxation therapy (e.g., Haynes et al, 1979;Home et al, 1989) and psychotherapy (e.g., Brown & Bettley, 1971;Schoenberg & Carr, 1963) have led to significant improvements. Evidence for the role of stress was provided in the diary study described in the second chapter.…”
