This study examined the impact of treatment adherence and therapist competence on treatment outcome in a controlled trial of individual cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and multidimensional family therapy (MDFT) for adolescent substance use and related behavior problems. Participants included 136 adolescents (62 CBT, 74 MDFT) assessed at intake, discharge, and 6-month follow-up. Observational ratings of adherence and competence were collected on early and later phases of treatment (192 CBT sessions, 245 MDFT sessions) by using a contextual measure of treatment fidelity. Adherence and competence effects were tested after controlling for therapeutic alliance. In CBT only, stronger adherence predicted greater declines in drug use (linear effect). In CBT and MDFT, (a) stronger adherence predicted greater reductions in externalizing behaviors (linear effect) and (b) intermediate levels of adherence predicted the largest declines in internalizing behaviors, with high and low adherence predicting smaller improvements (curvilinear effect). Therapist competence did not predict outcome and did not moderate adherence-outcome relations; however, competence findings are tentative due to relatively low interrater reliability for the competence ratings. Clinical and research implications for attending to both linear and curvilinear adherence effects in manualized treatments for behavior disorders are discussed.

We examine the complex relations among therapeutic alliance, adherence to Supportive-Expressive Therapy (SET), therapist competence, and their interactions in predicting change in drug use. Experts rated early therapy sessions of cocaine dependent patients (n = 108) randomized to SET as part of the Collaborative Cocaine Treatment Study. Moderate adherence to SET and competent delivery of SET were separately associated with poorer outcome. Further, strong alliance combined with low levels of SET adherence was associated with a better outcome than moderate or high levels. Moreover, the usage of nonprescribed techniques (i.e., Individual Drug Counseling [IDC]) by SET therapists predicted better outcome in a subsample (n = 36), and SET patients receiving high levels of IDC adherence had less predicted drug use compared with those with high levels of SET techniques. Overall results may suggest that decreasing cocaine use through straightforward drug counseling techniques instead of trying to help patients understand the reasons for their use is a better initial road to recovery.

The therapeutic alliance is an established predictor of psychotherapy outcome. However, alliance research in the treatment of eating disorders has been scant, with even less attention paid to correlates of alliance development. The goal of this study was to examine the relation between specific patient characteristics and the development of the alliance in 2 different treatments for bulimia nervosa (BN). Data derive from a large, randomized clinical trial comparing cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) for BN. Across both treatments, patient expectation of improvement was positively associated with early- and middle-treatment alliance quality. In CBT, baseline symptom severity was negatively related to middle alliance. In IPT, more baseline interpersonal problems were associated with poorer alliance quality at midtreatment.

The relative efficacy of professional and paraprofessional therapists in providing group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mutual support group therapy (MSG) was examined. Depressed outpatients (N?=?98) were randomly assigned to CBT or MSG led by either 2 professional or 2 paraprofessional therapists. Results suggest that nonprofessionals were as effective as professionals in reducing depressive symptoms and that clients in the CBT and MSG conditions improved equally. Clinically significant improvement was demonstrated for both conditions. However, following treatment, more patients in the professionally led CBT groups were classified as nondepressed and alleviated than in the paraprofessionally led CBT groups. Additionally, therapist adherence to manual-based treatments was associated with greater improvement in clinician-rated depressive symptoms in both conditions and skills in cognitive restructuring were associated with greater improvement among clients in CBT.

The relationship between therapists and treatment outcome was examined in 14 highly trained therapists who participated in the Multicenter Collaborative Study for the Treatment of Panic Disorder. Overall, therapists yielded positive outcomes in their caseloads; yet, therapists significantly differed in the magnitude of change among caseloads. Effect sizes for therapist impact on outcome measures varied from 0% to 18%. Overall experience in conducting psychotherapy was related to outcome on some measures, whereas age, gender, gender match, and experience with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) were not. Therapists with above- and below-average outcomes were rated similarly on measures of adherence and competency. The results suggest that therapists make a contribution to outcome in CBT for panic disorder, even when patients are relatively uniform, treatment is structured, and outcome is positive. Implications for future clinical outcome studies and for training clinicians are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

The impact of early therapeutic alliance was examined in 100 clients receiving either individual cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT) or family therapy for adolescent substance abuse. Observational ratings of adolescent alliance in CBT and adolescent and parent alliance in family therapy were used to predict treatment retention (in CBT only) and outcome (drug use, externalizing, and internalizing symptoms in both conditions) at post and 6-month follow-up. There were no alliance effects in CBT. In family therapy, stronger parent alliance predicted declines in drug use and externalizing. Adolescents with weak early alliances that subsequently improved by midtreatment showed significantly greater reductions in externalizing than adolescents whose alliances declined. Results underscore the need for ongoing developmental calibration of intervention theory and practice for adolescent clinical populations.

Project MATCH (Matching Alcoholism Treatments to Client Heterogeneity) is a multisite collaborative project designed to evaluate patient-treatment interactions in alcoholism treatment. To evaluate whether major threats to the internal validity of the independent (treatment) variable in Project MATCH could be ruled out, we investigated several aspects of treatment integrity and discriminability. In this study, 1,726 alcohol-dependent participants at 10 sites were randomized to 3 treatments: cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), and 12-step facilitation (TSF). Participants received treatment either as outpatients or as aftercare following a more intensive inpatient or day hospital treatment. For both the outpatient and aftercare arms of the study, treatments were discriminable in that therapists implemented each of the treatments according to manual guidelines and rarely used techniques associated with comparison approaches. Participants received a high level of exposure to their study treatments, and the intended contrast in treatment dose between MET and the 2 more intensive treatments (CBT and TSF) was obtained. Alcoholics Anonymous involvement was significantly higher for participants assigned to TSF versus MET or CBT, whereas the treatments did not differ in utilization of other nonstudy treatments. Nonspecific aspects of treatment such as therapist skillfulness and level of the therapeutic alliance were comparable across treatment conditions. 相似文献

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is skill based and assumes active patient participation in regard to treatment-related assignments. The effects of patient compliance in CBT outcome studies are equivocal, however, and 1 gap in the literature concerns the need to account for the quality versus the quantity of assigned work. In this study, both quality and quantity of home-based practice were assessed to better evaluate the effects of treatment compliance in patients with panic disorder (N?=?48) who participated in a 12-session CBT protocol. Patient estimates of compliance were not significantly associated with most outcome measures. On the other hand, therapist ratings of compliance significantly predicted positive changes on most outcome measures. Moreover, therapist and independent rater estimates of the quality of the participant's work, relative to the quantity of the work, were relatively better predictors of outcome.

Self-monitoring is a key feature of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for eating disorders. It provides a detailed measure of eating problems and the circumstances under which they occur, but it does not yield precise estimates of amount of caloric intake. It indexes the progress of treatment and helps guide the focus of each therapy session. Adherence to self-monitoring is good provided that therapists implement it skillfully within a collaborative therapeutic alliance. Anorexia nervosa patients may pose a particular challenge in this respect. Self-monitoring may play an important role in the rapid effects of CBT for bulimia nervosa. Preliminary data indicate that self-monitoring of binge eating and purging may provide a valid measure of treatment outcome. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

Although the therapeutic alliance is a consistent predictor of psychotherapy outcomes, research has not distinguished between the roles of patient and therapist variability in the alliance. Multilevel models were used to explore the relative importance of patient and therapist variability in the alliance as they relate to outcome among 331 patients seen by 80 therapists (therapist average caseload was 4.1). Patients rated both the alliance and outcome and all models adjusted for baseline psychological functioning. The results indicated that therapist variability in the alliance predicted outcome, whereas patient variability in the alliance was unrelated to outcome. Reasons why therapist variability as opposed to patient variability predicted outcome are discussed. Clinical implications include therapists monitoring their contribution to the alliance, clinics providing feedback to therapists about their alliances, and therapists receiving training to develop and maintain strong alliances.

Treatment outcome findings suggest that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and pharmacotherapy offer similar short-term treatment gains for panic disorder and that CBT may afford more optimal maintenance of treatment gains without the need for ongoing treatment. However, efficacy is not the only consideration for patients, and because of limited health care resources, evaluation of the cost-benefit ratio of these treatments is important. In this article, the authors review estimates of the relative efficacy, acceptability, tolerability, and costs of these treatments; empirically examine the costs and outcome of cognitive-behavioral and pharmacologic interventions as they are delivered in an outpatient clinic specializing in these treatments; and comment on how these data inform a stepped care model of treatment. Analysis of the "services" data indicated that CBT was at least equal to pharmacotherapy in terms of pretreatment severity and acute treatment outcome and that CBT is an especially cost-effective treatment option.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictors of treatment outcome across treatments, as well as those associated with differential treatment response. METHOD: One hundred seven adolescent outpatients, aged 13 to 18 years, with DSM-III-R major depression were randomly assigned to one of three manual-based, brief (12 to 16 sessions) psychosocial treatments: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), systemic-behavioral family therapy, or nondirective supportive therapy. Those with good and poor outcomes were compared. RESULTS: Continued depression was predicted by clinical referral (versus via advertisement) and was in part mediated by hopelessness. Other predictors of depression were comorbid anxiety disorder and higher levels of cognitive distortion and hopelessness at intake. Achievement of clinical remission was predicted by a higher level of self-reported depression. Poorer functional status was predicted by a higher level of initial interviewer-rated depression. Comorbid anxiety and maternal depressive symptoms predicted differential treatment efficacy. CBT's performance continued to be robust with respect to nondirective supportive therapy, even in the presence of the above-noted adverse predictors. CONCLUSION: Predictors of poor outcome may give clues as to how to boost treatment response. Subjects who come to treatment for clinical trials via advertisement (versus clinical referral) may show more favorable treatment responses. CBT is likely to be a robust intervention even in more complex and difficult-to-treat patients. 相似文献

Objective: Therapeutic alliance has been associated with better treatment engagement, better adherence, and less dropout across various treatments and disorders. In treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it may be particularly important to establish a strong early alliance to facilitate treatment adherence. However, factors such as childhood sexual abuse (CSA) history and poor social support may impede the development of early alliance in those receiving PTSD treatment. We sought to examine treatment adherence, CSA history, and social support as factors associated with early alliance in individuals with chronic PTSD who were receiving either prolonged exposure therapy (PE) or sertraline. Method: At pretreatment, participants (76.6% female; 64.9% Caucasian; mean age = 37.1 years, SD = 11.3) completed measures of trauma history, general support (Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors), and trauma-related social support (Social Reactions Questionnaire). Over the course of 10 weeks of PE or sertraline, they completed early therapeutic alliance (Working Alliance Inventory) and treatment adherence measures. Results: Early alliance was associated with PE adherence (r = .32, p 相似文献

The authors examined the relation between therapeutic alliance, retention, and outcome for 308 cocaine-dependent outpatients participating in the National Institute on Drug Abuse Collaborative Cocaine Treatment Study. High levels of alliance were observed in supportive–expressive therapy (SE), cognitive therapy (CT), and individual drug counseling (IDC), and alliance levels increased slightly but significantly from Session 2 to Session 5 in all groups. In contrast to other studies, alliance was not a significant predictor of drug outcome. However, alliance did predict patient retention differentially across the 3 treatments. In SE and IDC, either higher levels of alliance were associated with increased retention or no relationship between alliance and retention was found, depending on the time alliance was measured. In CT, higher levels of alliance were associated with decreased retention. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

This study examined the role of the therapeutic alliance between client and therapist on group treatment outcome in 70 husband-to-wife violent couples. Strength of husbands' alliance assessed at Session 1 was positively associated with treatment outcome, as measured by decreased husband-to-wife mild and severe psychological and physical aggression. Strength of wives' alliance was unrelated to treatment outcome. Finally, although alliance was related to treatment, outcome, it was unrelated to treatment completion.

Two decades of empirical research have consistently linked the quality of the alliance between therapist and client with therapy outcome. The magnitude of this relation appears to be independent of the type of therapy and whether the outcome is assessed from the perspective of the therapist, client, or observer. Although the strength of the connection between alliance and therapy outcome appears to be relatively uniform throughout therapy, the client's report of the early alliance may be the most clinically useful indicator. In successful treatments, the therapist's and client's assessments of the alliance tend to converge over time. Recent research suggests that the therapist's skills and personal factors both influence the likelihood of developing a good therapeutic alliance with the client. Though the relation between the therapist's level of training and the quality of the alliance is inconsistent, it is likely that the more trained therapists are able to form better alliances with severely impaired clients.

Explored the specific behavior of therapists contributing to a child client's perception of a therapeutic alliance with youth (n = 56) who received a manualized cognitive-behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. The first 3 sessions were coded for 11 therapist behaviors hypothesized to predict ratings of alliance. Child, therapist, and observer alliance ratings were gathered after the 3rd and 7th therapy sessions. "Collaboration" positively predicted early child ratings of alliance, and "finding common ground" and "pushing the child to talk" negatively predicted early child ratings of alliance. Although no coded therapist behaviors predicted early therapist ratings of alliance, "collaboration" and "not being overly formal" positively predicted therapist alliance ratings by Session 7. Child, observer, and therapist ratings of alliance were significantly correlated. Results are discussed with regard to the identified behavior of the therapist as a step toward the identification of empirically supported strategies for building a stronger child-therapist alliance.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment of bulimia nervosa, but its mechanisms of action have not been established. In this study the authors analyzed the results of a randomized control trial comparing CBT with Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) to identify possible mediators of change of CBT for BN and its time course of action. Reduction in dietary restraint as early as Week 4 mediated posttreatment improvement in both binge eating and vomiting. Measures of self-efficacy concerning eating behavior, negative affect, and body shape and weight at midtreatment were also significantly associated with posttreatment outcome at 20 wks. No evidence was found that the therapeutic alliance mediated treatment outcome. CBT had a significantly more rapid treatment effect than IPT, with 62% of posttreatment improvement evident by Week 6.

Objective: To examine the dependability of alliance scores at the patient and therapist level, to evaluate the potential causal direction of session-to-session changes in alliance and depressive symptoms, and to investigate the impact of aggregating the alliance over progressively more sessions on the size of the alliance–outcome relationship. Method: We used data from a study (N = 45 patients; N = 9 therapists) of psychotherapy for major depressive disorder in which the alliance was measured at every treatment session to calculate generalizability coefficients and to predict change in depressive symptoms from alliance scores. Two replication samples were also used. Results: At the therapist level, a large number of patients (about 60) per therapist is needed to provide a dependable therapist-level alliance score. At the patient level, generalizability coefficients revealed that a single assessment of the alliance is only marginally acceptable. Very good (>.90) dependability at the patient level is only achieved through aggregating 4 or more assessments of the alliance. Session-to-session change in the alliance predicted subsequent session-to-session changes in symptoms. Evidence for reverse causation was found in later-in-treatment sessions, suggesting that only aggregates of early treatment alliance scores should be used to predict outcome. Session 3 alliance scores explained 4.7% of outcome variance, but the average of Sessions 3–9 explained 14.7% of outcome variance. Conclusion: Adequate assessment of the alliance using multiple patients per therapist and at least 4 treatment sessions is crucial for fully understanding the size of the alliance–outcome relationship.
