“…Vaughn and Leff (1976) were among the first to investigate the effect of EE on schizophrenia patients and found that relapse was associated with high EE in caregivers. As this seminal study, a number of researchers have found similar results (e.g., Bertrando et al, 2006;Butzlaff & Hooley, 1998;Leff & Vaughn, 1985;McFarlane, Dixon, Luken, & Lucksted, 2002;Rockland, 2010).…”

Despite a number of studies investigating the effect of pharmacotherapy on treatment costs for schizophrenia patients, there has been little attention given to the effect of family intervention. In this study, data from the Kansas Medicaid system were used to analyze healthcare costs for 164 schizophrenia patients who had participated in family intervention. Structural equation modeling was used to test two competing views of the role of family intervention in treatment. The results showed that a model including direct and indirect effects of family intervention provided a better fit to the data. Family intervention had a significant indirect effect on general medical costs (through other psychological treatment) that showed a savings of $586 for each unit increase in the provision of these services. In addition, the total indirect effects for family intervention showed a $580 savings for general medical costs and $796 for hospitalization costs (for each unit increase).

“…Circular questions aim at exploring a dyadic relationship as it is seen by a third person by inviting the third person to describe the relationship of two others in their presence 42 43. For example, the instructor may ask the nurse: ‘What did the senior physician do when she entered the operating room (OR) and how did the resident physician react to that?’ Thus, circular questions ask trainees to circle back and comment from an outside perspective on an interaction in which they took part.…”

TeamGAINS: a tool for structured debriefings for simulation-based team trainings

The results indicate that TeamGAINS could provide a useful debriefing tool for training anaesthesia staff on all levels of work experience. By combining state-of-the-art debriefing methods and integrating systemic-constructivist techniques, TeamGAINS has the potential to allow for a surfacing, reflecting on and changing of the dynamics of team interactions. Further research is necessary to systematically compare the effects of TeamGAINS' components on the debriefing itself and on trainees' changes in attitudes and behaviours.

“…The other four models were classified as level I. They were: Structural‐Strategic Family Therapy (Stanton & Todd, ), Milan Systemic Therapy (Bertrando et al., ), Leeds Systemic Family Therapy (Pote, Stratton, Cottrell, Shapiro, & Boston, ), and Family Systems Therapy (Rohrbaugh, Shoham, Spungen, & Steinglass, ).…”

This paper examines the application of the guidelines for evidence-based treatments in family therapy developed by Sexton and collaborators to a set of treatment models. These guidelines classify the models using criteria that take into account the distinctive features of couple and family treatments. A two-step approach was taken: (1) The quality of each of the studies supporting the treatment models was assessed according to a list of ad hoc core criteria; (2) the level of evidence of each treatment model was determined using the guidelines. To reflect the stages of empirical validation present in the literature, nine models were selected: three models each with high, moderate, and low levels of empirical validation, determined by the number of randomized clinical trials (RCTs). The quality ratings highlighted the strengths and limitations of each of the studies that provided evidence backing the treatment models. The classification by level of evidence indicated that four of the models were level III, "evidence-based" treatments; one was a level II, "evidence-informed treatment with promising preliminary evidence-based results"; and four were level I, "evidence-informed" treatments. Using the guidelines helped identify treatments that are solid in terms of not only the number of RCTs but also the quality of the evidence supporting the efficacy of a given treatment. From a research perspective, this analysis highlighted areas to be addressed before some models can move up to a higher level of evidence. From a clinical perspective, the guidelines can help identify the models whose studies have produced clinically relevant results.
