  • Healing Factors in Guided Affective Imagery: a Qualitative Meta-Analysis
    Healing Factors in Guided Affective Imagery: A Qualitative Meta-Analysis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy with a concentration in Psychology and a specialization in Counseling and Psychotherapy at the Union Institute & University Cincinnati, Ohio Elaine Sue Kramer April 3, 2010 Core Faculty: Lawrence J. Ryan, PhD i Abstract This qualitative meta-analysis compares and contrasts European and American approaches to Guided Affective Imagery (GAI). From a comparative review of literature of the European and American approaches, it is observed that there are noteworthy differences in how GAI is understood in theory and applied in practice. In the United States, GAI is not perceived as a method of deep psychotherapeutic intervention for neurotic disorders by most practitioners. In Europe, GAI is one of the more prevalent intervention techniques that has been reported to be effective in many disorders. Secondly, this meta-analysis seeks to identify the essential healing elements of GAI as they are implemented in psychotherapy. Twelve factors are identified from the literature. Of fundamental clinical importance is the activation of a patient’s “resources,” the positive characteristics of an individual that can be accessed to reinforce the patient’s ability to deal with a past traumatic experience. GAI provides the imagery context by which the patient may re-experience the trauma. The therapist assists by encouraging the patient to repeatedly utilize internal resources to confront the fearful event. Lasting relief may be conceptualized as repeated resource activation leading to a biochemically-induced remapping at synaptic sites away from the limbic-centered, emotion-based neural path associated with the traumatic event toward the prefrontal cortex-centered, cognitive-based path of appropriate behavior.

  • Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: Where Do We Go from Here?
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by UCL Discovery Psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder: Where do we go from here? Peter Fonagy, Patrick Luyten, Anthony Bateman Submitted to: JAMA Psychiatry Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is one of the most prevalent, and most disabling, personality disorders. There is increasing consensus that the disorder is characterized by three related core features: severe emotion dysregulation, strong impulsivity, and social- interpersonal dysfunction.1 Individuals diagnosed with BPD were historically considered to be “hard to reach” and pessimism with regard to treatment prevailed. This view has changed over the past two decades, mainly as a result of emerging evidence for the efficacy and cost- effectiveness of specialized psychotherapies for individuals with BPD.2,3 The study by Cristea and colleagues4 in this issue represents a new and major leap forward in this regard, as it heralds the coming of age of research on the effectiveness of psychotherapy for BPD. Cristea et al. report a meta-analysis including 33 studies of specialized psychotherapy either as a standalone treatment or as an add-on to non-specialized psychotherapies in adult patients diagnosed with BPD. Overall, specialized psychotherapy emerges as moderately more effective than non-specialized psychotherapy in reducing borderline-relevant and other outcomes, such as general psychopathology and service utilization, with no differences between specialized psychotherapy as a standalone or as an add-on to usual treatment. Importantly, these effects were typically maintained up to 2-year follow-up. Very few adverse events were reported, suggesting that psychotherapy for BPD is both effective and safe.

  • What Is Mentalization? the Concept and Its Foundations in Developmental
    What is Mentalization? The Concept and its Foundations in Developmental Research and Social-Cognitive Neuroscience Peter Fonagy Elizabeth Allison Address for correspondence: Peter Fonagy PhD FBA Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT E-mail: [email protected] Tel: 44 20 7679 1791 Fax: 44 20 7916 8502 Chapter submitted for Nick Midgley & Ioanna Vrouva (eds) Keeping Children in Mind: Mentalization-based Interventions with Children, Young People and their Families, January 2011. What is mentalization? When we mentalize we are engaged in a form of (mostly preconscious) imaginative mental activity that enables us to perceive and interpret human behavior in terms of intentional mental states (e.g., needs, desires, feelings, beliefs, goals, purposes, and reasons) (Allen, Fonagy, & Bateman, 2008). Mentalizing must be imaginative because we have to imagine what other people might be thinking or feeling. We can never know for sure what is in someone else’s mind (Fonagy, Steele, Steele, & Target, 1997). Moreover, perhaps counterintuitively, we suggest that a similar kind of imaginative leap is required to understand our own mental experience, particularly in relation to emotionally charged issues. We shall see that the ability to mentalize is vital for self-organization and affect regulation. The ability to infer and represent other people’s mental states may be uniquely human. It seems to have evolved to enable humans to predict and interpret others’ actions quickly and efficiently in a large variety of competitive and cooperative situations. However, the extent to which each of us is able to master this vital capacity is crucially influenced by our early experiences as well as our genetic inheritance.

  • The Essence of Psychotherapy: a Review and Reflections
    The Essence of Psychotherapy: A Review and Reflections Keith Tudor Auckland University of Technology Abstract In response to the theme of this special issue of the journal, and utilising a specific literature review, this article offers some comments and reflections on the essence of psychotherapy, and also considers the problem of essentialism. Waitara He kauparetanga ki te matū o tēnei whakaputanga motuhake o te hautaka, me te whakamahi i te arotakenga tuhinga mātuauta, ka horaina atu i tēnei tuhinga ētahi whakaaro, hokinga whakaaro mai i te iho o te whakaora hinengaro me te kōhuki i te āhua o te whakawai. Essence and Essentialism From the time in April 2013 that members of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists (NZAP) were introduced to the theme of the 2014 Conference, “The Essence” (of psychotherapy), I began to reflect on what I — and others — think is the essence of what we do. During the rest of that year, various announcements were made about the Conference (on the NZAP website and in the Newsletter), introducing another theme: [the] life and death of the psychotherapist, as well as a stimulating question: “What is enlivening and what is deadening in our work”, and, finally, a strapline, “Holding the Space” which, I assumed, referred to the principle method of the Conference of holding and facilitating group space. When we refer to the essence of something, we are generally trying to define or distil the nature of the thing, or to get to the heart of the matter. Thus, in response to the question, “What is the essence of psychotherapy”, we may, for instance, define psychotherapy as “soul healing” (from the Greek psyche meaning soul and terapeia meaning healing).

  • Changing Minds and Mental Development Transcript
    Changing Minds and Mental Development Transcript Date: Wednesday, 18 May 2016 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 18 May 2016 Changing Minds and Mental Development Professor Gwen Adshead Introduction In my first lecture, I described a brief historical overview of how the mind and Self can be an object of therapeutic intervention. In this talk, I will discuss the ways that different therapies 'work' to change minds; and what this means for mental health services and psychological health more generally. I will draw on the work of esteemed colleagues, especially Professor Peter Fonagy at the UCL psychoanalysis unit, who was my co-author on a paper on a similar theme ( Fonagy & Adshead, 2012); his colleague Professor Anthony Bateman, who has published vitally important papers about therapy for complex disorders; and Professor Jon Allen of the Menninger Clinic Houston, who provided me with academic hospitality and whose published work on therapy for trauma has been hugely influential on many, myself included. What goes wrong for people with mental health problems? This may seem like a very broad question to address in a brief way; especially when one considers that many big textbooks of psychiatry and psychology exist to answer this question. Although it may seem simplistic, I am going to suggest that there are some common themes that underlie the most common presentations of mental disorder. Man is a social animal, and needs to be able to live successfully with others in groups. Unlike other primates, humans have language that enables them to maintain relationships with others over time (Aiello & Dunbar 1993), and that language function entails symbolic function: the ability to imagine and represent objects and ideas of importance.
