“…Case studies showed advantages to parental involvement in treatment for children and young adults. [37][38][39] In a controlled study with a small sample, Emmelkamp and DeLange 40 compared the outcome of Dutch clients treated behaviorally with or without the spouse as cotherapist. Unfortunately, the content of psycho-educational interventions aimed at reducing conflict or enhancing communication was not described.…”

This article reviews the family constellation of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), the presence of OCD symptoms among family members, and familial aspects including parental attachment, expressed emotion (EE), and family accommodation. Some evidence supports a negative effect of hostility, emotional over-involvement, and criticism perceived by the patient on behavioral treatment outcome. However, actual criticism observed by the relative during an interview was associated with more benefit from therapy. Family accommodation predicted poorer family functioning and more severe OCD symptoms after behavioral treatment. A review of the limited treatment literature indicates no actual tests of the effects of psycho-educational and supportive treatments, although several reports suggest they are useful for families and patients. Including relatives in treatment has proved beneficial in some studies, especially with children, but not in others. Multiple family groups that focus on behavioral contracting for exposure and stopping rituals may be a promising intervention. Likewise, efforts to reduce family accommodation in the context of behavioral treatment have proved useful. Additional research on the content, process and effects of family interventions for OCD is much needed.

by interpreting a programme [or anorexic patients in terms of several common paradoxical procedures. The techniques 0 1 symptom prescription, relraming, restraining, written messages and positive interpretations are outlined and discussed together with Frankl's logotherapeutic techniques of paradoxical intention and dereflection. It is noted that various schools of therapy have contributed to the use of these techniques. Several theoretical and conceptual issues pertinent to the utilization o f paradoxical interventions in psychotherapy are briefly discussed. The notions of client resistance and the double bind seem central to most paradoxical manoeuvres, and possible difficulties with these are commented upon. It is suggested that a clarification of paradoxical procedures could be aided by a consideration of non-paradoxical explanations and by distinguishing between a focus on systems versus individuals. An attempt is made to define paradoxical interventions as a class by concentrating on rundamental components. Finally, the current status of paradoxical psychotherapy is summarized and possible future developments noted.The diverse and complex field of paradoxical psychotherapy is introduced Requests for reprints should be sent to Michael W.
