Outcomes of psychoanalytic-interactional and analytically oriented inpatient group therapy
No full textGroup psychotherapy according to the ,,Goettingen model" (that is psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, or psychoanalytic-interactional group therapy) has proven its worth in clinical practice and is playing a major role in the field of group psychotherapy in the German speaking countries. It was the aim of the present study to empirically examine the treatment effects of the different group methods of the,Goettingen model". Our sample consisted of 919 inpatients, treated at Tiefenbrunn State Hospital. 679 patients were receiving psychoanalytic-interactional, 207 psychodynamic, and 33 psychoanalytic inpatient group therapy. Data on symptom severity and interpersonal impairment was collected at intake and at discharge. Patients in all group conditions showed significant improvement. For the psychoanalytic-interactional method, there was nearly no difference in outcome between the more or less severely impaired patients (e.g. patients with cluster A or cluster B personality disorders). For the psychodynamic and psychoanalytic group therapies, there was an outcome difference to the disadvantage of the more severely impaired patients. The present study underlines the clinical relevance of a systematic indication for the different group methods of the,Goettingen model". Further studies should consider psychodynamically oriented diagnostic approaches in the development of differential indication rules

No full textThe effectiveness of psychoanalytic-interactional therapy in borderline personality disorder - A study of clinical data
No full textObjectives: Different methods are available for the psychotherapeutic treatment of patients with severe structural mental disorders. Psychoanalytic-interactional therapy is among those methods which have been clinically proven to be effective for many years. Psychoanalytic- interactional therapy was derived from analytic psychotherapy specifically to allow for the treatment of severely disturbed patients, e.g. patients with borderline personality disorders, prepsychotic disorders, addictions and perversions. Methods: In a naturalistic study, the effectiveness of psychoanalytic-interactional therapy was tested in a sample of patients with borderline personality disorders (N = 132). The patients were treated at the Clinic Tiefenbrunn near Goettingen, Germany. Standardized, reliable and valid diagnostic instruments were used to study the treatment effects. Results:Psychoanatytic- interactional therapy was found to significantly improve target symptoms, general symptoms, interpersonal problems and life satisfaction. Discussion: The results are discussed with regard to the treatment of severely disturbed patients
Psychometric analysis of the Social Phobia Scale (SPS) and the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) in an inpatient sample
No full textAs there is a high prevalence of social fears in psychotherapeutic inpatients, the present study aimed to examine the scales in an inpatient sample. The sample consisted of 823 inpatients: 190 diagnosed with psychometric properties of the social phobia, 129 with other anxiety disorders, and 504 with other clinical disorders. Both scales show high levels of internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Correlations with other symptom measures indicate adequate convergent, but inadequate discriminative validity. Although the scales discriminate between the different clinical samples, classification performance is low and decreases with higher comorbidity. Thus, the differential diagnostic utility of the questionnaires remains questionable

Results of inpatient psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment of patients with schizophrenias, schizoaffective and other psychotic disorders
No full textObjectives: At the Tiefenbrunn hospital, patients suffering from severe psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders are treated. The treatment concept is psychodynamically oriented. Psychopharmacological treatments are included if necessary. This article reports the results of the treatment of a sample of patients with schizophrenic and other psychotic disorders (ICD-10: F20-F25). Methods: An unselected sample of N = 33 patients was studied upon admission and before discharge with a set of routinely administered standardized instruments. Results: According to the data, all of these patients were severely disturbed: Upon admission to the clinic, they showed high pathological values in the Beeintrachtigungs-Schwere-Score (degree of impairment score; Schepank 1995), the Symptom Checklist SCL-90-R (Franke 1995), the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (Horowitz et al. 1994), as well as a high degree of comorbid disorders. A comparison of the data at admission and at discharge shows that these patients improved significantly and substantially concerning symptoms, interpersonal problems, contentedness with life and individually formulated target problems. Discussion: The results of the present study are discussed with regard to both the treatment of psychotic patients and the results of other studies

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
