Psychodynamic psychotherapy with adolescents and young adults: Outcome in routine practice.

This naturalistic study examined the outcome of psychodynamic psychotherapy with 218 adolescents and young adults aged 14-24 years. Analysis of variance showed significant improvement of general functioning on Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) and decreased symptom severity on Symptoms Checklist-90 (SCL-90) upon completion of psychotherapy, as well as a clinically significant improvement in a large percentage of cases. Effect sizes were equivalent to those evident in a clinical comparison group and larger than in prior research.

Memories of significant episodes in child psychotherapy: an autobiographical memory approach.

In this study, child psychotherapists (N=31) were asked to retrieve emotionally valenced therapy episodes by using an autobiographical memory approach, with cue words to elicit specific therapy episodes (e.g. irritated, ashamed, loving, and elated).

Experimental field exposure of brown trout to river water receiving effluent from an integrated newsprint mill.

Effects of effluents from mechanical pulp production on brown trout were studied for 8 weeks at environmentally relevant concentrations. The exposure took place in laboratory-based pools upstream and downstream of the effluent discharge point of an integrated newsprint mill using ground wood/thermomechanical pulp. The mill had no secondary treatment of the wastewater.
