TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the principles of empirically supported interventions to the research related to career counseling and interventions and find that the most effective interventions are individual career counseling, career classes, and workshops/structured groups.
Abstract: This article is designed to apply the Principles of Empirically Supported Interventions to the research related to career counseling and interventions. Although there is empirical support for career interventions in general, there is significant variation in effectiveness among different treatment approaches. The most effective interventions are individual career counseling and career classes, whereas workshops/structured groups and career classes are the most efficient method of providing services to the largest number of clients. Although the findings are somewhat tentative, there is preliminary support for the inclusion of five critical ingredients in all types of career interventions. Additional research, however, is needed to identify which clients benefit from which interventions under what circumstances.

TL;DR: More well-designed studies with diverse populations are needed to assess accurately the effectiveness of this increasingly popular treatment approach, as meta-analytic studies suggest that family-based therapies are as effective as other models.
Abstract: Objective To review family-based treatment research. A growing body of research and several meta-analytic reviews demonstrate that family-based treatments are effective for a variety of child and adolescent disorders. In addition, an emerging tradition of family-based process research has begun to identify important ingredients of effective family psychotherapy. This article reviews these advances and their implications for future research. Method Selected studies on the treatment of schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, attention deficit, conduct disorder, and substance abuse are reviewed, as well as several process research and meta-analytic studies. Results Family-based therapies have been shown to be effective for treating schizophrenia, conduct disorder, and substance abuse. Some data support their effectiveness in the treatment of eating disorders. Few studies have targeted internalizing disorders. A process research tradition is emerging, but it is in need of methodological advances. Meta-analytic studies suggest that family-based therapies are as effective as other models. Conclusions More well-designed studies with diverse populations are needed to assess accurately the effectiveness of this increasingly popular treatment approach.

TL;DR: Specific methodological recommendations regarding randomized clinical trials, control groups, the selection of dependent variables, the manualization of treatments, and the use of tests of clinical and statistical significance are presented.
Abstract: When children or adolescents are clients in receipt of psychological treatment, there are specific issues that require attention With regard to assessment and diagnosis, researchers and clinicians alike must pay attention to variations across sources of assessment data, the comorbidity of diagnoses, and the potential utility of a "family" (as opposed to child) diagnosis Considerations of "Who is the client?" and the role of the therapeutic relationship in child therapy are discussed Specific methodological recommendations regarding randomized clinical trials, control groups, the selection of dependent variables, the manualization of treatments, and the use of tests of clinical and statistical significance are presented Specific topics for research are recommended

...In reviewing the therapy outcome research on the therapeutic relationship in psychotherapy, we find that the vast majority of this literature has focused on adults (eg, Beutler, Crago, & Arizmendi, 1986; Foa & Emmelkamp, 1983; Kazdin, 1990; Morris & Magrath, 1983; Ollendick, 1986)—with the results often suggesting that the individual therapist can have an effect on the process and outcome of therapy with adult clients....

TL;DR: Sigmund Freud vigorously championed his own view that psychoanalysis was not a medical discipline, although its origins lay in neurology, and argued that origin is not a criterion for judging the current status of a discipline.
Abstract: ANY READERS WILL RECOGNIZE THAT THE TITLE of this paM per comes from a passage in The Question of Lay Analysis. Freud (1926) wrote that monograph on the occasion of defending Theodore Reik, a nonmedical analyst then practicing in Vienna, against a charge of quackery. There Freud vigorously championed his own view that psychoanalysis was not a medical discipline, although its origins lay in neurology. In the postscript to the monograph, written in 1927, he argued that origin is not a criterion for judging the current status of a discipline. The theory of electricity, he observed, had its beginnings in observations of nerve-muscle preparations, yet it would be absurd today to regard it as a part of physiology. And, further, although radiology has a medical application, it is surely part of physics. The case against Reik was dropped, probably because of

TL;DR: Policy makers should focus on expanding the availability of regular sources of health care and immigrant health coverage to reduce disparities on mental health care utilization and targeted interventions should also focus on addressing immigrants’ language barriers, and providing culturally appropriate services.
Abstract: Immigration status is a likely deterrent of mental health care utilization in the United States. Using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and National Health Interview survey from 2002 to 2006, multivariable logistic regressions were used to estimate the effects of immigration status on mental health care utilization among patients with depression or anxiety disorders. Multivariate regressions showed that immigrants were significantly less likely to take any prescription drugs, but not significantly less likely to have any physician visits compared to US-born citizens. Results also showed that improving immigrants’ health care access and health insurance coverage could potentially reduce disparities between US-born citizens and immigrants by 14–29% and 9–28% respectively. Policy makers should focus on expanding the availability of regular sources of health care and immigrant health coverage to reduce disparities on mental health care utilization. Targeted interventions should also focus on addressing immigrants’ language barriers, and providing culturally appropriate services.
