“…Empirical support for the foregoing formulations concerning autonomy and intimacy comes from prior studies in personality integration. In a study by Seeman, Barry, and Ellinwood (1963), high functioning children as identified by peer ratings and teacher ratings showed markedly less tendency to establish controlling relationships or to structure; the activity of an adult than was the case for lower functioning children. The high integration children, though only seven to eight years old, showed a distinct tendency to relate tt) an adult in peer-like ways.…”

This study was designed to determine whether persons of differing levels of personality integration utilize different response sets to govern their personal space boundaries in relationships with parents and peers. These response sets or "social schemata" were operationally defined by Kuethe's (1962a) free placement felt figures technique and by tape recorded interviews with 30 female and 30 male undergraduates. Findings indicate that personality integration is significantly related • to equality with parents and peers, to women's perceived closeness to parents, to the variabihty of personal space boundaries, and to "communicative richness" when individuals are asked to describe their interpersonal relationships verbally.In recent years, theories of personality have increasingly reflected a trend toward formulations of human effectiveness. Such formulations include the efforts

“…Specifically, this study compared individuals high in personality integration and other persons with respect to their perception of interpersonal relationships. Previous studies have indicated that individuals high in personality 1 Requests for reprints should be sent to Julius Seeman, Department of Psychology, George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee 37203. integration differ from other persons in a number of respects consistent with the theory (Cartwright, Seeman, & Grummon, 1956;Doyne, 1969;Duncan, 1966;Seeman, 1963Seeman, , 1966Seeman, Barry, & Ellinwood, 1963;Swan, 1969;Thomas, 1969;Thomas & Seeman, 1971).…”

“…Prior studies dealing specifically with the relationship between personality integration and interpersonal behavior or perception have shaped the hypotheses of the present study. An investigation of the play therapy behavior of high-adjustment and low-adjustment children (Seeman et al, 1963) indicated that high-adjustment children related to the therapist in ways that could be classified as "with," rather than "over" or "under"-that is, the high-adjustment children established peerlike, noncontrolling relationships, whereas the low-adjustment children displayed behavior which attempted to control or structure the behavior of the therapist.…”

This study concerns the ways in which individuals at different levels of personality integration perceive interpersonal relationships. Two groups of 26 men each wore selected, one group high in personality integration and one group at the middle of the distribution. A picture-story test was administered and scored. Five hypotheses were advanced concerning predicted differences in perception. The hypotheses were substantially confirmed. The high group perceived more relationships, used more affect terms, used more approach and sharing terms, reported more positive affect, and used more diversified affect and behavior terms.

“…Previous research has studied the dose-response relationship in psychotherapy with mixed results. One of the initial studies on patient outcomes related to treatment duration suggested that optimal therapeutic gain was achieved when patients remained in therapy for at least 20 sessions [51]. However, in a general mental health setting, studies have suggested that clinically significant change can occur in between 11-18 sessions of psychotherapy, which is more in line with the timelimited nature of psychological treatment offered in a VA setting [52].…”

Background: Efforts to increase acceptance and reduce avoidance behaviors in patients who suffer from chronic pain are likely to have additional beneficial effects on pain management. The primary aim of the current study was to evaluate whether a sequential approach to treatment, where acceptance-based coping strategies are taught prior to problem-focused coping strategies using manualized group therapies, improves pain-related outcomes. Methods: The current investigation is a single-group, longitudinal ex post facto study. A sample of 168 Veterans participated in the current study at a midwestern VA medical center. All participants were administered a standard pre- and post-intervention assessment battery. The primary outcome analysis was a 4 × 2 repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance. Results: The current study did not find a significant interaction effect for intervention x time but did find a significant main effect for time. All treatment conditions were associated with decreases in pain severity, pain interference, illness-focused coping strategies, catastrophizing behaviors, and global distress. Participation in both of the combined groups did not produce significantly different pain-related outcomes compared to participation in one group. Conclusion: These findings reinforce common factors theory in psychotherapy and provide insight into treatment dosage for patients who suffer from chronic pain. The current findings underline the importance of researching pain management, as it is a fundamental aspect of clinical practice, training, and research in rheumatology.
