“…Second, the effect of the intervention was examined for each outcome variable obtained at the three times using linear mixed models. While an ANCOVA is the most commonly used method to analyze treatment data, linear mixed modeling (LMM, also known as hierarchical linear modeling) is increasingly being seen in treatment outcome publications because it has a number of strengths for outcome analysis (some examples of recent uses in high ranking journals include, Aldea et al 2010;Neacsiu et al 2010;Webb et al 2010). While ANCOVA requires replacing missing data using an intention-to-treat strategy (e.g., last observations carried forward), LMMs allow all data to be analyzed without the need to generate lost observations.…”

Based on promising results with adults, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) presents as a treatment opportunity for depressed adolescents. We present a pilot study that compares ACT with treatment as usual (TAU), using random allocation of participants who were clinically referred to a psychiatric outpatient service. Participants were 30 adolescents, aged M=14.9 (SD= 2.55), with 73.6% in the clinical range for depression. At posttreatment on measures of depression participants in the ACT condition showed significantly greater improvement statistically (d=0.38), and 58% showed clinically reliable change with a response ratio of 1.59 in favor of ACT. Outcomes from 3-month follow-up data are tentative due to small numbers but suggest that improvement increased in magnitude. Measures of global functioning showed statistically significant improvement for both conditions, although clinical change measures favored only the ACT condition. The results support conducting a larger trial of ACT for the treatment of adolescent depression.

“…In the third study, a group of 60 young adults assessed to be maladaptive perfectionists were randomized to receive a single‐session feedback intervention in which their assessment results were individually discussed and their input and active participation were solicited. Overall, there was a statistically significant effect of the treatment condition on the relationship between perfectionism and emotional reactivity [22].…”

Background Performance feedback is one of a number of strategies used to improve clinical practice among students and clinicians. Objectives The aims of this paper were to examine conceptual underpinnings and essential components for audit and feedback strategies, assess the extent to which recently published audit and feedback interventions include these components, and recommend future directions for feedback to improve its educational and behavioral impact. Methods Based on the actionable feedback model, we examined the presence of four theoretical constructs-- timeliness, individualization, lack of punitiveness, and customizability--in studies published during 2009–10 which included a feedback intervention. Results There was wide variation in the definition, implementation and outcomes of ‘feedback’ interventions, making it difficult to compare across studies. None of the studies we reviewed included all of the components of the actionable feedback model. Conclusions Feedback interventions reported to date, even when results are positive, often fail to include concepts of behavior change. This may partially explain the large variation in approaches and in results of such interventions, and presents major challenges for replicating any given intervention. If feedback processes are to be successfully used and disseminated and implemented widely, some standardization and certainly more clarity is needed in the specific action steps taken to apply behavioral theory to practice.

“…Another brief supervisory intervention would be to discuss a supervisee's APS‐R results. Aldea, Rice, Gormley, and Rojas () demonstrated that brief feedback to maladaptive perfectionists on their APS‐R results reduced emotional reactivity and global distress.…”

This study examined the moderating role that 2 dimensions of perfectionism (standards [adaptive] and discrepancy [maladaptive]) had on 2 dimensions of adult attachment (anxious and avoidant) and both client and supervisory alliances among 170 counselor supervisees. Anxious attachment and discrepancy were significant negative predictors of the client working alliance. A significant 3‐way interaction was found between anxious attachment, standards, and discrepancy on the supervisory working alliance. Implications from these findings are discussed.
