TL;DR: By using a bootstrap approach, it is demonstrated a way to quantify the amount of synchrony that goes beyond random coincidence, thus establishing an objective measure for the phenomenon.
Abstract: Nonverbal synchrony in face-to-face interaction has been studied in numerous empirical investigations focusing on various communication channels. Furthermore, the pervasiveness of synchrony in physics, chemistry and biology adds to its face-validity. This paper is focused on establishing criteria for a statistical evaluation of synchrony in human interaction. When assessing synchrony in any communication context, it is necessary to distinguish genuine synchrony from pseudosynchrony, which may arise due to random coincidence. By using a bootstrap approach, we demonstrate a way to quantify the amount of synchrony that goes beyond random coincidence, thus establishing an objective measure for the phenomenon. Applying this technique to psychotherapy data, we develop a hypothesis-driven empirical evaluation of nonverbal synchrony. The method of surrogate testing in order to control for chance is suitable to any corpus of empirical data and lends itself to better empirically informed inference.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify potential client, therapist, and contextual mediators of the brevity of treatment, identifying potential clients, therapists, and clinicians as potential mediators.
Abstract: Research and practice trends are fueling a vigorous interest in brief therapy, highlighting the question of the relationship between treatment duration and outcome. A number of investigations have reported a weak or nonexistent relation between duration and outcome, yielding the possible conclusion that there are few differences between brief and longer term treatments. A finer-grained analysis, however, based on such methodological factors as the nature, source, and timing of outcome measures, reveals intriguing dose-effect linkages within particular helping modalities. Summarizing process and outcome research, this article identifies potential client, therapist, and contextual mediators of the brevity of treatment.

...Reviewers of the BT literature suggest that clients frequently anticipate that change can be accomplished in a brief number of visits (Budman & Gurman, 1988; Garfield, 1986, 1989)....

TL;DR: It would seem appropriate that, as part of a stepped care approach to the management of bulimia nervosa, supervised cognitive behavioral self-help should routinely be the first line treatment.

TL;DR: The findings support the potential viability of ICT and the potential causal influence of the rupture-repair interventions on treatment process and outcome and reveal that ICT patients evidenced greater posttreatment improvement on both outcome measures and more clinically significant change than did CT patients.
Abstract: This pilot study examined the efficacy of an integrative form of cognitive therapy (ICT) for depression that incorporates specific strategies for addressing alliance ruptures. Although a previous study on depression found that ICT was superior to a wait-list condition (L. G. Castonguay et al., 2004), the current study provides the 1st direct comparison between ICT and traditional cognitive therapy (CT). Twenty-two depressed adults were randomly assigned to ICT or CT (11 patients per condition), which were delivered by clinicians in training. Outcome was assessed with a specific depression measure and a global symptomatology measure. The groups were also compared on patient-perceived alliance quality and therapist empathy. Effect size estimates revealed that ICT patients evidenced greater posttreatment improvement on both outcome measures (with small to medium effects) and more clinically significant change than did CT patients. ICT patients also had higher alliance and empathy scores across treatment (with medium to large effects). The findings, albeit very preliminary, support the potential viability of ICT and the potential causal influence of the rupture-repair interventions on treatment process and outcome.

...For example, in the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Program (Elkin, 1994), better alliance quality was associated with lower depression across all treatment conditions (CT, interpersonal therapy, pharmacotherapy plus clinical management, and placebo plus clinical management; Krupnick et al,, 1996; Zuroff & Blatt, 2006)....

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider incorporating principles of trauma-informed care (TIC) into evidence-based sex offender treatment models and integrate process-oriented components that address the ways in which early trauma shapes adult cognitions and behaviour.
Abstract: As we move forward in the field of sex offender treatment, clinicians should consider incorporating principles of trauma-informed care (TIC) into evidence-based sex offender treatment models. Early adverse experiences are prevalent in the general population and more so in criminal and sex offender populations. Early trauma paves the way for maladaptive coping and interpersonal deficits, which can lead to abusive behaviour. Content-oriented sex offender treatment models emphasising cognitive-behavioural skills should integrate process-oriented components that address the ways in which early trauma shapes adult cognitions and behaviour. Relational approaches to therapy can enhance clients' interpersonal skills and improve general well-being. This type of personal growth would be expected to mitigate future offending as the client adopts and successfully practices healthier, non-destructive strategies for meeting emotional needs.
