“…Relatedly, the cognitive avoidance model for treating anxiety disorders takes a similar approach by suggesting that clients with anxiety disorders should be therapeutically exposed to their worries. CBT based on the cognitive avoidance model significantly reduces anxiety and worry when compared to short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (Leichsenring, 2009). Planned exposure within a therapeutic environment may reduce the client's experience of uncontrollability, and additionally may reduce the negative valence of the thoughts through the repeated experience of having catastrophic thinking disconfirmed.…”

“…AB saw the therapeutic relationship as central to psychotherapy, believing that the therapist's "limited reparenting" stance allowed the patient to progress therapeutically by feeling accepted and valued (Young, 1994;Young et al, 2003). She thereby shared a belief that is widespread across psychotherapeutic professions, anchored in Rogerian principles of empathy and trust and supported by evidence that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of psychotherapy outcome (Martin, Garske & Davis, 2000;Safran et al, 2009). Therefore, AB actively fostered a therapeutic relationship before starting therapy, even making this the focus of initial sessions consistent with the view, widespread across different therapies, that the therapist should develop the relationship in parallel to delivering therapy.…”

“…On completion of her clinical psychology doctoral training in the UK, AB used an integrative approach. She drew particularly on cognitive behavioural therapy (Beck, Rush, Shaw & Emery, 1979), schema focused therapy (Young, 1994;Young, Klosko & Weishaar, 2003), and aspects of psychodynamic psychotherapy (Freud, 1940;Safran, Muran & Proskurov, 2009), particularly the "inner child" concept (Capacchione, 1991) and ideas of transference and countertransference (Jones, 2004). Drawing on different therapeutic models within a single session was also standard practice.…”

Background Many psychotherapy practitioners draw from several psychotherapeutic models in an effort to maximise the help they can give to individual patients. Such “integrative” practice is promoted by training that typically encompasses multiple models, but might impair practitioners’ ability to learn any single approach proficiently. Aims One way to identify the influence of integrative practice on therapists’ ability to learn a new approach is by examining the challenges that arise when a psychotherapist, previously socialised into the integrative approach, tries to learn a new single approach. Here we describe the experience of the first author, a clinical psychologist being supervised by the last author, to make the transition from an integrative way of working to a single approach. Method In a single case of post‐qualification training, we aimed to identify the influence of the integrative approach to clinical practice by analysing the challenges that arose when one experienced clinical psychologist was supervised with the aim to reach competence in an unfamiliar psychotherapeutic model: metacognitive therapy. The present paper is based on the experience of the training period, documented contemporaneously by the supervisee and supervisor and analysed subsequently in discussion amongst all authors. Results The challenges included learning to adhere to the model consistently, resisting previous habits of engaging with the content of patients’ distress, dismantling beliefs about the nature and importance of therapeutic relationship, and learning not to interpret patient improvement as indicating therapeutic competence. Conclusions These challenges reflect fundamental weaknesses of the integrative approach that characterise current psychotherapy training in the USA and more generally and highlight implications for how training and supervision might be strengthened to ensure psychotherapists’ competence.

“…Second, it was designed as a naturalistic field study on the psychodynamic therapy of emerging adults, without a nontreatment control group. Although the naturalistic design facilitates optimization of external validity, as it reflects the reality of clinical work with clients in public clinics more accurately (Levy & Ablon, 2009), the lack of a comparison group makes it impossible to rule out the possibility that all gains could be true effects of developmental maturation rather than treatment effects. However, effect sizes of decrease of symptoms were twice that reported for waiting list controls (Leichsenring, Rabung, & Leibing, 2004).…”

Changes in Romantic Competence and Career Adaptability Among Emerging Adults in Psychotherapy

et al. 2016

While studies indicate that a growing number of emerging adults have difficulty meeting developmental challenges and, as a consequence, experience distress, the extent to which psychotherapy can help emerging adult clients cope with developmental tasks remains unexplored. This study examined the extent to which two core developmental capabilities of emerging adultsromantic competence and career adaptability-change during psychotherapy and the association between these changes and symptom change. Forty-six clients aged 21-31 (26 females; 56%) completed outcome measures and interviews regarding their romantic competence and career adaptability at the beginning and the end of psychodynamic psychotherapy. The mean duration of treatment was 26 sessions (SD ¼ 6.88). Findings indicated that romantic competence and career adaptability increased significantly throughout treatment while symptoms decreased. Change in romantic competence was associated with change in symptoms. The findings suggest that therapy could be helpful in the pursuit of the core developmental tasks; and that improvement in romantic competence is associated with symptom relief.
