  • Mixed Anaclitic–Introjective Psychopathology in Treatment-Resistant Inpatients Undergoing Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
    PROD #: 030 Psychoanalytic Psychology Copyright 2003 by the Educational Publishing Foundation 2003, Vol. 20, No. 1, 84–102 0736-9735/03/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0736-9735.20.1.84 MIXED ANACLITIC–INTROJECTIVE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY IN TREATMENT-RESISTANT INPATIENTS UNDERGOING PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY Golan Shahar, PhD, and Richard Q. Ford, PhD Sidney J. Blatt, PhD Austen Riggs Center Yale University Utilizing data from the Riggs-Yale Project, 45 male and 45 female 18–29-year- old treatment-resistant inpatients undergoing intensive psychoanalytically ori- ented treatment were studied. Twenty-seven mixed-type anaclitic–introjective inpatients were compared with 29 “pure” anaclitic and 34 “pure” introjective inpatients. At intake, mixed-type inpatients were more clinically impaired (i.e., were more symptomatic, cognitively impaired, and thought disordered) and more vulnerable (i.e., less accurate object representations and more frequently used maladaptive defense mechanisms) in comparison with clearly defined ana- clitic and introjective patients. Mixed-type patients, however, improved signifi- cantly more in the course of psychoanalytically oriented treatment, in terms of clinical functioning (i.e., symptoms, cognitive functioning) and psychological vulnerability (i.e., utilization of more adaptive defense mechanisms). Interpersonal relatedness and self-definition are two fundamental themes in many psy- choanalytic and nonanalytic personality theories. In “Civilization and Its Discontents,” for example, Freud (1930/1961a) contrasted “the man who is predominantly erotic [and gives] first preference to his emotional relationships of other people” with “the narcissistic man, Golan Shahar, PhD, and Sidney J.

  • Domains of Concepts, Theories, and Treatments
    Section I Domains of Concepts, Theories, and Treatments O Mostofsky—The Handbook of Behavioral Medicine O Mostofsky—The Handbook of Behavioral Medicine 1 Depression in Chronic Physical Illness: A Behavioral Medicine Approach Golan Shahar, Dana Lassri, and Patrick Luyten In this chapter, we address the prevalence, consequences, and presumed causes of unipolar depression in chronic, non-lethal, physical illness. We begin by outlining the central role of chronic physical illness (CPI) in medicine. Next, we consider the various manifestations of depression in CPI, focusing on the distinction between categorical approaches to depression (i.e., a diagnosable condition such as major depressive episode) and dimensional approaches (i.e., elevated levels of depressive symptoms in the absence of a diagnosable episode) to depression. From a behavioral medicine point of view, we argue, it makes more sense to address depression as a continuous dimension rather than to distinguish between diagnos- able and “subsyndromal” depression. Next, we present a tentative model account- ing for depression in CPI, which focuses on person–context exchanges. We conclude by discussing the implications of this view for assessment/screening, treatment, and prevention. Chronic Physical Illness: Definition, Prevalence, Costs The World Health Organization (WHO) defines chronic diseases as diseases of long duration and generally slow progression. According to the US National Center for Health Statistics, a disease lasting 3 months or more is considered chronic (http:// www.who.int/topics/chronic_diseases/en). Chronic diseases refer to a variety of medical and functional somatic conditions (i.e., cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pelvic pain, chronic pain, chronic The Handbook of Behavioral Medicine, First Edition.

Levy Pennsylvania State University Nilly Mor Hebrew University in Jerusalem It is with excitement and earnestness that we assume the role of Editor and Associate Editors for the Journal of Psychotherapy Integration. JPI has been the official publication of the Society for the Exploration of Psycho- therapy Integration (SEPI) for the past 21 years. Owing to the vision and leadership of SEPI founders (see Goldfried & Newman, 2003), and previous JPI editors (Arkowitz, Gold; see Gold, 2010), JPI has been enjoying a steady growth in both readership and prestige throughout these years. The notion and option of psychotherapy integration, not only as an outlet from the big psychotherapy wars, but also as an approach to treatment, is now well established, and is here to stay. It is incumbent upon us, Editor Shahar and Associate Editors Anchin, Gottidiener, Levy, and Mor, to launch the journal Golan Shahar, Department of Psychology, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel; Jack C.

  • Psychoanalysis—With Whom, for What, and How? Comparisons with Psychotherapy
    ja p a Sidney J. Blatt / Golan Shahar 52/2 PSYCHOANALYSIS—WITH WHOM, FOR WHAT, AND HOW? COMPARISONS WITH PSYCHOTHERAPY If psychoanalytic treatment is to survive in the era of evidence-based medicine and managed care systems, empirical evidence is needed to demonstrate its unique nature and effectiveness. To address this need, comprehensive analyses were conducted of data from the Menninger Psychotherapy Research Project (Wallerstein 1986). These analyses addressed three questions: (1) What are the differences in outcome between psychoanalysis (PSA) and supportive-expressive psycho- therapy (SEP)? (2) With what types of patient, and in what ways, are these two psychodynamic treatments differentially effective? (3) Are these differences in outcome the consequence of possibly different mechanisms of therapeutic action? PSA was found to contribute sig- nificantly to the development of adaptive interpersonal capacities and to the reduction of maladaptive interpersonal tendencies, especially with more ruminative, self-reflective, introjective patients, possibly by ex- tending their associative capacities. SEP, by contrast, was effective only in reducing maladaptive interpersonal tendencies and only with depen- dent, unreflective, more affectively labile anaclitic patients, possibly by containing or limiting their associative capacities. he advent of managed care and the changed climate for long-term T intensive psychological therapies, including a declining interest in psychoanalysis, have raised once again the importance of articulating Sidney J.

Steinberg TelAviv University Golan Shahar Ben Gurion University of the Negev; Yale University School of Medicine The authors examined the unfolding of anxiety-depression comorbidity while emphasizing its multifaceted and intra-individual nature. An intensive time se- ries design was employed, whereby three young adult patients with diagnosed comorbid Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Major Depression Disorder (MDD) were followed daily for a period of 6 months. Daily reports included af- fective states, cognitive vulnerability, and symptoms of depression and anxiety.The Looming Maladaptive Style .(LMS), pertaining to the tendency to generate mental scenarios of potentially threatening situations as rapidly rising in risk, prospectively predicted anxiety, depression, and hopelessness, a dimension of depressive vulner- ability. Effects of anxiety and depression on cognitive vulnerability were also docu- mented. Findings suggest that LMS confers vulnerability to emotional disorders, broadly defined, and emphasize the need to include an intra-individual analysis for the purpose of elucidating the nature of psychopathological comorbidity. Anxiety-Depression comorbidity is the rule rather than the exception in psychopa- thology (Kessler et aI., 1996; Maser & Cloninger, 1990; Mineka, Watson, & Clack, 1998; Zimmerman, Chelminski, & McDermut, 2002).

    Erosion: The Psychopathology of Self-Criticism Erosion: The Psychopathology of Self-Criticism 0199929378, 9780199929375 216 pages 2015 Golan Shahar Ph.D. Oxford University Press, 2015 Self-criticism is a personality trait that has been implicated in a wide range of psychopathologies and developmental arrests. Defined as the tendency to set unrealistically high standards for one's self and to adopt a punitive stance towards the self once these standards are not met, self-criticism is both active and cyclical. Self-critics actively create the social-interpersonal conditions that generate their distress, and their distress itself exacerbates self-criticism. Erosion offers a comprehensive treatment of self-criticism based in philosophy, developmental science, personality and clinical psychology, social theories, and cognitive-affective neuroscience. Professor Golan Shahar expertly summarizes the most recent research on the topic and synthesizes theory, empirical research, and clinical practice guidelines for assessment, prevention, and treatment. The book rests upon three elements that, as Shahar argues, are central to the maintenance of self-critical vulnerability: the importance of a concept of an authentic self or the need to "feel real"; the importance of intentionality and goal-directedness; and the power of interpersonal relationships and cultural context. Shahar argues that exploring these elements requires an integrated clinical approach that incorporates multidimensional assessment and interventions which reconcile science, practice,
