The Role of Therapists' Attachment and Introject in Their Treatment Process and Outcome: A Systematic Review.

Previous reviews have examined empirical evidence of the relationship between therapists' internalized relational models, including therapists' attachment styles and Sullivan's notion of introject, and the therapeutic relationship. This review expands upon previous reviews by examining the effect of therapists' internalized relational models on the treatment process (e.g.

The association between quality of therapeutic alliance and treatment outcomes in teletherapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The strength of the therapeutic alliance is widely understood to impact treatment outcomes, however, the alliance-outcome relationship in teletherapy has remained relatively unexamined. The aim of this meta-analysis is to systematically summarize the relationship between therapeutic alliance and treatment outcomes in teletherapy with adult patients conducted via videoconferencing or telephone.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the databases PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, ProQuest Dissertation Databases, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and PubMed for studies published before June 26, 2023.

Measures of trauma exposure and trauma response: A scoping review.

Background: In contrast to the vast clinical, theoretical, and empirical literature on the impact of trauma, relatively few studies have reviewed the trauma measures that researchers and clinicians can choose to use in their work. This scoping review aimed to catalog all trauma measures (trauma exposure and its subjective responses) that have been published in the peer-reviewed literature, developed for use with adult populations.

Method: Through a systematic search of the literature and the screening of 19,631 abstracts, a total of 363 unique trauma measures were identified.

Beyond treatment modalities: Clinical decisions and relational dynamics that facilitate change in group treatments.

This commentary on six articles comprising this Journal of Clinical Psychology: In Session issue on the therapeutic process in group psychotherapy brings together relevant clinical challenges and opportunities concerning the unique processes of change in group treatments. As illustrated by these six inspiring group therapy cases, therapy groups may vary widely in content and context. To balance the rich clinical illustrations of successful group treatments and the different theoretical formulations offered in these case studies, we highlight the processes that these treatments appear to have in common.

Non-marine Ostracoda (Crustacea) of the Early Cretaceous Pre-Salt sediments of Brazil: An illustrated catalogue of the type specimens of Wicher, Krmmelbein, Krmmelbein amp; Weber, and Bate.

Type material of 10 genera, one subgenus, 110 species and 28 subspecies described by Wicher (1959), Krmmelbein (1961, 1962, 1963, 1964a,b, 1965a,b), Krmmelbein Weber (1971) and Bate (1972, 1994) are re-illustrated using optical digital technology in order to provide a standard reference for future systematic work and its biostratigraphical and palaeoenvironmental application. The genera are: Brasacypris, Coriacina, Hourcqia, Ilhasina, Looneyellopsis, Pattersoncypris, Petrobrasia, Reconcavona, Salvadoriella, and Tucanocypris, and subgenus Cypridea (Sebastianites).

Depression and the willingness to expend cognitive and physical effort for rewards: A systematic review.

Depression is associated with reduced motivation to engage in previously enjoyed activities. In particular, anhedonia has been linked to reduced motivation, though other depressive symptoms may also play a role. The purposes of this systematic review were to 1) examine the relationship between depression and motivation, as operationalized by a willingness to expend effort for rewards, 2) examine the relationship between anhedonia and motivation, and 3) examine potential methodological moderators of these relationships.

Does self-focus orientation influence recall of autobiographical memories and subsequent mood in dysphoria?

Past research suggests that depressed individuals are less likely than non-depressed individuals to engage in mood-incongruent recall in response to negative mood and do not experience associated mood reparative effects. The present study examined the effects of adopting a reflective versus ruminative self-focus orientation towards one's mood on the valence of autobiographical memories recalled following a negative mood induction and the extent of mood repair following memory recall among individuals with varying depressive symptomatology. Participants underwent a negative mood induction and either a ruminative ( = 69) or reflective ( = 49) self-focus manipulation, and then recalled five specific autobiographical memories.

The feasibility and acceptability of an early intervention in primary care to prevent chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in adults: randomised controlled trial.

Background: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)) is defined as fatigue that is disabling, is accompanied by additional symptoms and persists for ≥ 4 months. Treatment of CFS/ME aims to help patients manage their symptoms and make lifestyle adjustments. We do not know whether intervening early in primary care (< 4 months after onset of fatigue) can prevent the development of CFS/ME.

Use of renal near-infrared spectroscopy measurements in congenital diaphragmatic hernia patients on ECMO.

Introduction: This study tests the hypothesis that renal tissue oxygen saturation as measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) would correlate with urine output in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Methods: Between 2012 and 2015, neonates with CDH were enrolled as part of a comprehensive study that provided renal/cerebral/abdominal NIRS monitoring for the duration of ECMO support. Continuous NIRS measurements, mean arterial pressure, and urine output were recorded.

Reevaluation of the Premier Clostridium difficile toxin A and B immunoassay with comparison to glutamate dehydrogenase common antigen testing evaluating Bartels cytotoxin and Prodesse ProGastro Cd polymerase chain reaction as confirmatory procedures.

Enzyme immunoassays are currently the most common tests used in the clinical laboratory for the detection of Clostridium difficile toxins; however, significant problems with their performance have recently been described. We prospectively reevaluated the Meridian Premier C. difficile toxin A/B assay with direct comparison to a 2-step algorithm that screened for C.
