“…The criteria also included, (f) some consideration of how long-term and enduring the difficulties have been, (g) the nature and degree of strategies which are used to avoid dealing with difficult problems, which were referred to as "security operations", which may inhibit appropriate exploration, and finally, (h) the ability of an individual to maintain a focus on their difficulties within therapy. There is evidence that scores on the SSCT predict treatment outcome (33)(34)(35)(36), with more recent factor analytic work using the SSCT suggesting that capacity to take part in CBT is related to treatment outcome (36).…”

Historically, many people with intellectual disabilities (ID) were considered unable to take part in psychological therapies. This view has changed considerably, and there has been an increasing focus on the development of psychological therapies for people with ID, including methods to help improve the accessibility of treatment. Within this chapter, cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behaviour therapy, behavioural therapy, and psychodynamic therapy are reviewed. There is emerging evidence to indicate that a range of psychological therapies are effective with people who have ID, but a lack of large-scale and well-designed clinical trials investigating a range of psychological interventions remains problematic.

“…In another recent study, Renaud, Russell, and Myhr () examined the associations between different suitability items in patients with anxiety and depression. They found that individual suitability items (i.e., security operations and optimism/pessimism for a positive outcome) interacted to predict better treatment outcomes in patients with depression and anxiety disorders.…”

“…There is some evidence that the presence of avoidance is a barrier to treatment success in adults with depression (Renaud, Russell, & Myhr, 2013); and in some cases early avoidant behaviour is predictive of a later diagnosis of PTSD in parents of children with cancer (Lindahl Norberg, Pöder, & Von Essen, 2011). Although these results have not been replicated in children, it is possible that the presence of high levels of avoidance may impede treatment efficacy.…”

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious problem for children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). Recent changes to diagnostic criteria for PTSD include a reduction in avoidance symptom criteria from three to one and the separation of emotional numbing from avoidance symptoms, thus creating a need to better understand how avoidance symptoms of PTSD present themselves in young children. This study evaluated 56 children aged four to six as they participated in an intervention for mothers and children exposed to IPV. Therapists documented behaviours indicative of avoidance symptoms during group sessions. Data were analysed and coded into symptom categories and thematically emergent domains. Results demonstrated that avoidance symptoms fell into three separate categories: physical avoidance, emotional avoidance, and changing topics. Additionally, the data support the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition) change to remove emotional numbing from the avoidance symptom category. These results give insight into how to develop more targeted treatments for PTSD as well as improve the assessment and diagnosis of PTSD symptoms in preschoolers.

The association between positive outcome expectancies and avoidance in predicting the outcome of cognitive behavioural therapy for major depressive disorder

Abstract: These findings suggest that the impact that lower positive outcome expectancies have on therapy outcome can be attenuated if patients do not avoid dealing with emotionally difficult material in session.
