TA Treatment of Depression: A Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design Study - 'Sara'
No full textThis study is the first of a series of three, and represents an Italian systematic replication of previous UK findings (Widdowson 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013) that investigated the effectiveness of a recently manualised transactional analysis treatment for depression with British clients, using Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design (HSCED). The various stages of HSCED as a systematic case study research method are described, as a quasi-judicial method to sift case evidence in which researchers construct opposing arguments around quantitative and qualitative multiple source evidences and judges evaluate these for and against propositions to conclude whether the client changed substantially over the course of therapy and that the outcome was attributable to the therapy. The therapist in this case was a white Italian woman with 10 years clinical experience and the client, Sara, was a 62-year old white Italian woman with moderate depression and three recent bereavements, who attended sixteen sessions of transactional analysis therapy. The diagnosis is based on the new DSM-5 criteria that allow differentiation between Depression and Bereavement. The conclusion of the judges was that this was a good-outcome case: the client improved early over the course of the therapy, reported positive experience of therapy and maintained the improvement at the end of the follow-up
TA treatment of depression: A hermeneutic single-case efficacy design study - ‘Caterina’
No full textThis study is the second of a series of seven, and belongs to the second Italian systematic replication of findings from two previous series (Widdowson 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013; Benelli, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c) that investigated the effectiveness of a manualised transactional analysis treatment for depression through Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design. The therapist was a white Italian woman with 10 years of clinical experience and the client, Caterina, was a 28-year old white Italian woman who attended 16 sessions of transactional analysis psychotherapy. Caterina satisfied DSM-5 criteria for major depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder. The conclusion of the judges was that this was an outstanding good-outcome case: the depressive symptoms showed an early clinical and reliable improvement, maintained till the 6 months follow-up, accompanied by reductions in anxiety symptoms, global distress and severity of personal problems. Adherence to the manualised treatment for depression appears good to excellent. In this case study, transactional analysis treatment for depression has proven its efficacy in treating major depressive disorder in comorbidity with anxiety disorder
TA Treatment of Depression: A Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design Study - ‘Penelope’
No full textThis study is the second of a series of three, and represents an Italian replication of a previous UK -based case series (Widdowson 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013) that investigated the effectiveness of a recently manualised transactional analysis treatment for depression with British clients, using Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design (HSCED). The various stages of HSCED as a systematic case study research method are described, as a quasi-judicial method to sift case evidence in which researchers construct opposing arguments around multiple sources of quantitative and qualitative evidence and judges evaluate these to conclude whether the client changed substantially over the course of therapy, and whether the outcome was attributable to the therapy. The therapist in this case was a white Italian man in the third year of training to become a psychotherapist, and the client, Penelope, was a 45-year old white Italian woman with mild depression and anxiety. The conclusion of the judges was that this was a mixed-outcome case: the client improved some aspects of her problems, without obtaining a complete and stable remission. Interestingly, this case presents a minimal correlation between empirical and proxy-rated indexes of depression and anxiety and answers to self reported questionnaires, raising the question of validity of self report measures with specific typology of client
TA treatment of depression: A hermeneutic single-case efficacy design study - ‘Deborah’
No full textThis study is the third of a series of seven, and belongs to the second Italian systematic replication of findings from two previous series (Widdowson 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013; Benelli, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c) that investigated the effectiveness of a manualised transactional analysis treatment for depression through Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design (HSCED). Major Depression and Subthreshold Depression are often in comorbidity with Anxiety disorders in childhood and adolescence and represent a risk factor for ongoing mental health problems in adulthood. The therapist was a white Italian woman with 15 years of clinical experience and the client, Deborah, was a 15-year old white Italian female adoloscent who attended sixteen sessions of transactional analysis psychotherapy. The conclusion of the judges was that this was a good-outcome case: the depressive and anxious symptomatology clinically and reliably improved over the course of the therapy and these improvements were maintained throughout the duration of the follow-up intervals. Furthermore, the client reported significant change in her post-treatment interview and these changes were directly attributed to the therapy. In this case study, the transactional analysis manualised treatment for depression in adulthood has demonstrated its effectiveness also in treating depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescence
TA treatment of depression: A hermeneutic single-case efficacy design study - ‘Anna’
No full textThis study is the first of a series of seven, and belongs to the second Italian systematic replication of findings from two previous series (Widdowson 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013; Benelli, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c) that investigated the effectiveness of a manualised transactional analysis treatment for depression through Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design (HSCED). The therapist was a white Italian woman with 8 years of clinical experience and the client, Anna, was a 33-year old white Italian woman who attended 16 sessions of transactional analysis psychotherapy. Anna satisfied DSM-5 criteria for mild persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) with anxious distress. The conclusion of the judges was that this was a good-outcome case: the dysthymic symptoms improved over the course of the therapy and were maintained in the ‘healthy’ range at the 6-month follow-up, the client reported a positive experience of the therapy and described important changes in intrapsychic and interpersonal patterns. In this case study, transactional analysis treatment for depression has proven its efficacy in treating persistent depressive disorder

Mathematical Modeling of Reductive Transformation Kinetics of Branched Degradation Pathways of Groundwater Contaminants
No full textGroundwater contaminants such as chlorinated ethenes, chlorinated ethanes and nitroaromatic explosive compounds (e.g. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT)) degrade in the subsurface primarily by microbially catalyzed reductive transformation reactions. From a regulatory point of view, the capability to simulate the kinetics of these reductive transformation reactions coupled with other attenuation processes in the subsurface (e.g., sorption, advection, and dispersion) is required for site-specific solute transport models. A kinetic model based on Michaelis-Menten type equations (Widdowson 2004) has been successfully validated for the linear reductive dechlorination pathway of chlorinated ethenes, and implemented in solute transport codes such as SEAM3D (Waddill and Widdowson 2000). However, TNT degrades through more complex branched pathways, and kinetic models are lacking in the current literature.
This research study was undertaken with the objective of extending the kinetic model developed for the linear reductive pathway of chlorinated ethenes to branched pathways. The proposed extended kinetic model was validated with experimental concentration-time data of TNT and its metabolites from two prior published laboratory studies (Daun et al. 2000; Hwang et al. 2000), both in the presence and absence of sorption. The model-predicted concentrations with time of TNT and its degradation intermediates and end-products correlated well with the experimental data. The model is further compatible with and can be easily incorporated into solute transport codes (e.g., SEAM3D), and used to evaluate the fate and transport of TNT and other similar contaminants in the subsurface.Master of Scienc
Two-dimensional numerical modeling of enhanced in situ denitrification
No full textNitrate is one of the most common groundwater contaminants, with levels commonly exceeding established drinking water limits. In areas of high agricultural or industrial nitrate use, nitrate contaminated groundwater poses a potential health risk. In situ denitrification is the microbially mediated reduction of nitrate to innocuous nitrogen gas compounds and is the principal process for nitrate removal in contaminated aquifers. This process is becoming increasingly recognized for its ability to reduce or eliminate nitrate concentrations in groundwater with minimal site disturbance and cost. Predicting the extent to which denitrification occurs in aquifers as well as the rate, therefore, has become the focus of numerous mathematical models. However, the predictive capabilities of numerical models are constrained because knowledge of the biological processes implicated in denitrification is limited.
This report examines the microbial processes involved in in situ denitrification, and then applies this knowledge to assess the capability of a two-dimensional numerical model, NBI02D. NBI02D is a variation of a code, SEAM2D, developed by Widdowson (1988,1992).
Model development and model application are presented. The model development overview provides insight to the mathematical methods used to simulate the microbial processes. The model application compares model predictions with data received from a USGS research site on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Data are derived from a natural gradient experiment in which formate was injected into a carbon-limited aquifer in order to stimulate and accelerate denitrification. NBI02D simulations for the Cape Cod site are developed for model verification and model applicability.Master of Scienc
