    Case formulation and treatment planning: How to take care of relationship and symptoms together

    No full text
    Most patients present with a combination of symptoms and relational problems, but often psychotherapies are not conducted in a way to deal with both. Many therapists take a top-down approach to treatments. That is, the techniques they use are based on their theories of therapy (that suggest how certain diagnoses should be treated) rather than on an understanding of the unique problems and issues of the individual patient. We suggest that what is needed is a bottom-up approach, in which the individual patient’s goals, conflicts, inhibitions, and so forth are identified and therapeutic interventions are designed accordingly on a case-specific basis. The foundation of such an approach is a case-specific clinical formulation. There are a number of formulation methods; we focus on the plan formulation method to illustrate how to evaluate the individual needs and specificities of the therapy patient and then how to tailor a therapy to the individual patient, regardless of the therapist’s theoretical or technical predilections. Finally, we report examples of therapies conducted in this bottom-up approach to demonstrate how symptoms and relational problems can and should be addressed

    The plan formulation method: An empirically validated and clinically useful procedure applied to a clinical case of a patient with a severe personality disorder

    No full text
    : The plan formulation method (PFM) is an empirically validated procedure for identifying a patient's goals for therapy, what is hindering the patient from attaining those goals, and how the patient is likely to work in therapy. In this paper, we employ the PFM to analyze the initial psychotherapy sessions of Geena, a 30-year-old outpatient with borderline personality disorder and relational and substance abuse problems. Employing the PFM, we identify a family of pathogenic beliefs (e.g., that she is unlovable and unworthy; that her parents will be hurt if she has satisfying intimate relationships) that Geena sought to disprove in her therapy and explain how she worked with the therapist to do so. We illustrate how the PFM can help the therapist identify what information and what types of interventions will be helpful for a given patient

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
