“…First named the "deterioration hypothesis" by Bergin ( 1963), Lambert, Bergin, and Collins (1977) conclude in their recent review of psychotherapy outcome studies that negative outcomes in psychotherapy were common across therapists and therapeutic modalities. Empirical research suggests that negative characteristics of the patient and therapist influence such factors as the formation of a therapeutic alliance (e.g., Luborsky, Crits-Christoph, Mintz, & Auerbach, 1988) and outcome (e.g., Horowitz, Marmar, Weiss, DeWitt, & Rosenbaum, 1984).…”

“…Within the field of psychotherapy research, there are a few studies involving relationships between emotions and self-concept, including self-compassion and compassion for others (e.g., Gilbert, McEwan, Matos, & Rivis, 2011;Greenberg & Bolger, 2001;Hemenover, 2003;Horowitz, Marmar, Weiss, DeWitt, & Rosenbaum, 1984). Compassion Focused Therapy (Gilbert et al, 2011) also theorizes that people can develop fear of compassion.…”

The present study examined whether levels of activating affects (AA) and inhibitory affects (IA) were related to change toward more compassionate and realistic levels of sense of self (SoS) and sense of others (SoO). The sample included 47 patients diagnosed with cluster C personality disorders, who received 40 sessions of either cognitive therapy or short-term dynamic therapy (see the randomized controlled trial study, Svartberg, Stiles, & Seltzer, 2004). A total of 927 videotaped sessions were rated with the use of the observational instrument, Achievement of Therapeutic Objectives Scale. Longitudinal multilevel modeling enabled the examination of both between-person effects and within-person changes in level of AA and IA. Patients with better ability to experience AA at the start of therapy displayed significantly higher SoS and SoO across sessions compared with other patients. Patients who experienced higher levels of IA at the start of therapy displayed lower levels of SoS across sessions. A patient experiencing more AA than usual for him/her self within a session predicted an increased level of SoS and SoO at the next measuring point. There were no different change patterns in the 2 treatment groups. Results suggest that focus within therapy sessions on increasing patients' AA can help facilitate change in SoS and SoO toward more compassionate and realistic quality.

“…The investigators studied the process and outcome of brief psychotherapy utilizing a methodology previously developed for adult outpatients (Horowitz et al, 1984;Kaltreider et al, 1981). Using a case study design and utilizing individually developed and tailored outcome rating scales based on a psychodynamic understanding for each patient, they sought to capture the nuances of the psychotherapeutic process.…”

SUMMARYAlthough clinicians believe strongly in the efficacy of various psychotherapeutic approaches to the geropsychiatric patient, to date there have been relatively few studies to validate these claims. We will selectively review some of the more clinically relevant studies concerning individual psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral psychotherapy, focusing on treatment of the depressed geriatric patient. Also reviewed are studies about the cost-effectiveness of psychiatric intervention, as well as innovative hospital-based treatment modalities. Although progress has been made, Rechtschaffen's succinct summary of the psychotherapy literature in 1959 is still pertinent today; 'As is true for psychotherapy as a whole, systematic, controlled studies of the effectiveness of various treatments of older people are still lacking. Ultimately, there must be empirical grounds for predicting which type of treatment will work best for which type of patient' (Rechtschaffen, 1959).KEY wows-Psychosocial, therapy, old age, dementia.We will review and critique germane studies of psychosocial treatment approaches with the elderly that have clinical relevance to the practising psychia trip!. The approaches considered are psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive and behavioral therapy, an innovative geriatric hospital unit, and a study utilizing statistical meta-analysis to examine the cost benefits of mental health treatment.Only within the last few decades have empirical studies been carried out concerning psychosocial treatment approaches with the geropsychiatric patient. These empirical studies were preceded by, and simultaneous to, an extensive literature by skilled clinicians who reported favourably upon the responsiveness of elderly patients to psychotherapy (
