TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the entire research education was characterized by a Laissez-faire leadership (a leader nominated but abdicated), and suggested that a working alliance should be established between the supervisor and the student.

TL;DR: A review of the literature suggests that a chapter on effective treatment should be the shortest in any book concerned with psychopathy as mentioned in this paper, and it has been suggested that one sentence would suffice: 'No demonstrably effective treatment has been found.'
Abstract: About 20 years ago, Hare and Schalling (1978) edited a book on the results of the first NATO Advanced Study Institute on psychopathy. This volume contained a chapter on “Approaches to Treatment” from Suedfeld and Landon (1978) that began as follows: “Even a quick review of the literature suggests that a chapter on effective treatment should be the shortest in any book concerned with psychopathy. In fact, it has been suggested that one sentence would suffice:’ No demonstrably effective treatment has been found. ” (p. 347). In a review from the 1990s, Blackburn (1993, p. 202) drew two main conclusions: “First, while classical psychopaths have been shown to respond poorly to some traditional therapeutic interventions, it has yet to be established that “nothing works” with this group. Second, some offenders with personality disorders do appear to change with psychological treatment. ”

TL;DR: The extent to which therapists reputed to be excellent differ from therapists in general is examined, with respect to five qualities theorizedto be important in the management of countertransference feelings as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: STEVEN L. VAN WAGONER CHARLES J. GELSOJEFFREY A. HAYES ROBERTA A. DIEMERUniversity of MarylandThe extent to which therapists whowere reputed to be excellent differ fromthe therapists in general is examined,with respect to five qualities theorizedto be important in the management ofcountertransference feelings—self-insight, integration, empathy, anxietymanagement, and conceptualizingability. A sample of experiencedpsychotherapists (n = 122) evaluatedtherapists they selected as excellentsignificantly more positively thantherapists in general on all five of thetheorized qualities. Contrary toexpectation, reputedly excellentpsychodynamic, learning, andhumanistic therapists were generallyrated as equivalent on these theorizedqualities. Reputedly excellentpsychodynamic therapists, however,were rated more favorably thanexcellent humanistic therapists onconceptualizing ability.

TL;DR: The role of empirically supported treatments (ESTs) in the training of clinical psychologists can be integrated in ways that vary depending on the level of training and setting.
Abstract: This article discusses the role of empirically supported treatments (ESTs) in the training of clinical psychologists. Training in ESTs can be integrated in ways that vary depending on the level of training and setting. Predoctoral programs, internships, postdoctoral programs, and continuing education are discussed in regard to special challenges and sequencing of training. A preliminary set of guidelines for training in ESTs is suggested.

TL;DR: Evidence on the reasons that therapists do not use exposure therapy and other cognitive-behavioral therapy programs and recent research on the dissemination of efficacious treatments of PTSD are reviewed.
Abstract: Since the introduction of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (DSM-III; American Psychiatric Association, 1980), considerable research has demonstrated the efficacy of several cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) programs in the treatment of chronic PTSD. Among these efficacious treatments is exposure therapy. Despite all the evidence for the efficacy of exposure therapy and other CBT programs, few therapists are trained in these treatments and few patients receive them. In this article, the authors review extant evidence on the reasons that therapists do not use these treatments and recent research on the dissemination of efficacious treatments of PTSD.
