Further Reflections on the Complexities of Therapeutic Change Mechanisms in a Case Study of Social Phobia
No full textThe paper is a response to a commentary by Rogojanski and Rego (2013) on our case study of Sara (Jensen, Hougaard, & Fishman, 2013). Sara was a client who achieved a remarkable and durable change in her longstanding social phobia (SP) after short-term group cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT). Our response deals with the following topics: (1) safety behavior; (2) the idiographic arrangement of exposure as behavioral experiments; (3) acceptance as a mechanism of action in CBT; (4) the specific format of the Aarhus treatment program; and (5) recent advances in quantitative research on change mechanisms in CBT for anxiety disorders. We conclude that Rogojanski and Rego's commentary and our further reflections underline the original conclusion from our case study: that generally, change mechanisms in psychotherapy are highly complex, and that specifically, the data from Sara’s case could be consistent with several disparate theories of change mechanisms in CBT, revealing a high degree of overlap and intertwining among the theories
A "Cool Kids" Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Group for Youth with Anxiety Disorders: Part 2, Analysis of the Process and Outcome of Responders Versus Nonresponders
No full textThis case study involves a therapy group of four boys and two girls aged 8-12 who suffered from multiple anxiety disorders. The children and their families were treated for 10 sessions over three months with the "Cool Kids" cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program developed by Rapee and his colleagues (2006). The treatment, which took place in a university training clinic in Aarhus, Denmark, was conducted in a group format, with both children and their families taking an active part, and included cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, child management training, and skills training in areas such as assertiveness. Outcome was measured by change over time on standardized self-report measures, on diagnosis, and on an overall judgment based on all the data on a "Clinical Global Impression-Improvement of Anxiety Scale" ("CGI-I"). Four of the cases, the "responders," showed successful outcomes on standardized measures, while two, the "nonresponders," did not. This case study looks both qualitatively and quantitatively at the process and outcome of each child and family, exploring the differences between the responders and nonresponders.

Elisha Parker's "Minutes"--An Eighteenth Century Record of the Parker Family
No full textZimmer looks into "Minutes of Transactions Relating to the Estate of John Parker Beginning in March, 1748," Elisha Parker recorded his effort to straighten out the long-neglected estate of his deceased parents, John and Jennett Parker. He terminated it just a few months before his untimely death at twenty-seven. Parker's journal of financial transactions provides a basis for a consideration of the problems of land-holding in colonial New Jersey, the acute currency shortage endemic to all the colonies, and the ingenious innovations of "barter-bookkeeping.
