TL;DR: Factors that predicted favorable treatment outcomes among clinically referred conduct problem children who received cognitive-behavioral treatment were examined, finding less dysfunction in each of the domains predicted who responded favorably to treatment on parent ratings of deviance and prosocial functioning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how attachment states of clients and case managers influenced the effectiveness of therapeutic relationships and client functioning and highlighted the importance of clinicians and clients being matched in ways that balance their interpersonal and emotional strategies.
Abstract: Participants were 54 clients with serious psychiatric disorders and 21 clinical case managers. Clients' serious psychiatric disorders included Axis I diagnoses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This study examined how attachment states of mind of both clients and case managers influenced the effectiveness of therapeutic relationships and client functioning. Client and case manager attachment states of mind interacted in predicting the working alliance and client functioning. Specifically, clients who were more deactivating with respect to attachment had better alliances and functioned better with less deactivating case managers, whereas clients who were less deactivating worked better with more deactivating case managers. These findings highlight the importance of clinicians and clients being matched in ways that balance their interpersonal and emotional strategies.

...Many psychotherapy studies have examined matching clients andtherapists on a number of demographic, personality, and attitudinalvariables and have found evidence that certain types of client–therapistpairings are more effective than others (see Berzins, 1977; Beutler, Clarkin, Crago, & Bergan,1991; and Beutler,Machado, & Neufeldt, 1994, forreviews)....

TL;DR: This paper examined the effectiveness of multicultural education using meta-analytic methodologies and found that multicultural education interventions were typically associated with positive outcomes across a wide variety of participant and study characteristics.
Abstract: The American Psychological Association and many other professional mental health organizations require graduate programs to provide education in multicultural issues. However, the effectiveness of multicultural education has been debated in the literature over the past several years. The overall purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of multicultural education using meta-analytic methodologies. Findings revealed that multicultural education interventions were typically associated with positive outcomes across a wide variety of participant and study characteristics. Multicultural education interventions that were explicitly based on theory and research yielded outcomes nearly twice as beneficial as those that were not. Priorities for future inquiry are enumerated, and increased institutional support for multicultural education initiatives is solicited.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the amount of variance in across-session change in symptom intensity scores explained by therapist differences in a large naturalistic data set (1,198 patients and 60 therapists, who each treated 10-77 of the patients).
Abstract: Evidence suggests that a moderate amount of variance in patient outcomes is attributable to therapist differences. However, explained variance estimates vary widely, perhaps because some therapists achieve greater success with certain kinds of patients. This study assessed the amount of variance in across-session change in symptom intensity scores explained by therapist differences in a large naturalistic data set (1,198 patients and 60 therapists, who each treated 10–77 of the patients). Results indicated that approximately 8% of the total variance and approximately 17% of the variance in rates of patient improvement could be attributed to the therapists. Cross-validation and extreme group analyses validated the existence of these therapist effects.

...Our controlling for the effects of some baseline patient attributes can be seen as a strength, but many other variables may influence patient response to treatment, such as verbal ability, relational orientation, and social support (Garfield, 1994; Lambert & Bergin, 1994), and these additional predictors are potential confounds....

TL;DR: Patients with substance dependence from a local residential treatment facility randomly assigned to and completed FT had significantly more improvement in total and trait anger, depression, total and traits anxiety, self-esteem, forgiveness, and vulnerability to drug use than did the alternative treatment group.
Abstract: Anger and related emotions have been identified as triggers in substance use. Forgiveness therapy (FT) targets anger, anxiety, and depression as foci of treatment. Fourteen patients with substance dependence from a local residential treatment facility were randomly assigned to and completed either 12 approximately twice-weekly sessions of individual FT or 12 approximately twice-weekly sessions of an alternative individual treatment based on routine drug and alcohol therapy topics. Participants who completed FT had significantly more improvement in total and trait anger, depression, total and trait anxiety, self-esteem, forgiveness, and vulnerability to drug use than did the alternative treatment group. Most benefits of FT remained significant at 4-month follow-up. These results support FT as an efficacious newly developed model for residential drug rehabilitation.
