The authors report their experience on a workshop centered on brief psychotherapy (the STAPP model defined by Sifneos) in a postgraduate training in psychotherapy. STAPP, its extensed frame of reference and its relatively 'easy' access to study of essential paradigms, seems to constitute a priviledged tool in training psychiatrists to-be to the fundamental psychodynamics processes involved in psychotherapy. Provided the transferential and countertransferential issues are adequately met with (in individual and group supervision), it is lived very positively by trainees as such and has, moreover, a positive carry-over in so-called supportive therapies.

Therapist competence: its temporal course, temporal stability, and determinants in short-term anxiety-provoking psychotherapy.
J Clin Psychol
October 1999
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim.
Using hierarchical linear models procedures (Bryk & Raudenbush, 1992), growth curve analyses were performed to examine the temporal course, rate of change over time, and determinants of therapist competence in short-term anxiety-provoking psychotherapy (STAPP) (Sifneos, 1992). Treatments were 20 sessions long, were manualized, and therapists were experienced clinicians receiving manual-guided supervision. Patients (N= 13) had mostly anxiety diagnoses.

This study attempted to identify the necessary and sufficient change factors in short-term anxiety-provoking psychotherapy (STAPP). Twenty patients were randomly assigned to either STAPP or a form of nondirective therapy almost devoid of psychodynamic elements but with common factors of psychotherapy intact. Both treatments were 20 sessions long, were manualized, and therapists in both conditions were experienced clinicians receiving manual-guided supervision.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, University of Trondheim, Norway.
Using hierarchical linear model procedures, growth curve analyses were performed to examine the course, rate, and correlates of symptom improvement during short-term anxiety-provoking psychotherapy (STAPP) and a 2-year posttermination period. The Symptom Check-list-90 was used to measure general symptomatology. The sample consisted of 15 patients who were found suitable for STAPP.

J Consult Clin Psychol
April 1992
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, University of Trondheim, Norway.
In this pilot study, therapist competence and patient-therapist complementarity measured by the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior system (SASB; Benjamin, 1974) were examined as to their interrelation and their unique, collective, and interactive contributions to patient change in 20 sessions of short-term anxiety-provoking psychotherapy (STAPP; Sifneos, 1979). Patients were 15 highly educated outpatients, mean age 30 years, with mainly anxiety diagnoses. Therapists were in postgraduate manual-guided STAPP training.

University of Bergen, Norway.
Forty-four patients were assessed for three different short-term dynamic therapies, with an evaluation form based on Sifneos' criteria for Short-Term Anxiety-Provoking Psychotherapy (STAPP). Ten patients were ascribed to STAPP, 22 patients to Malan's Brief Psychotherapy (BP), and 12 patients to a more eclectic/integrative form of brief psychotherapy in this project called the FIAT model. 78% of the patients completed their treatment in agreement with the original ascription to therapy, with good results for all three therapies.
