Published in Hanno W. Kirk, Restoring the Brain, 2020
Evvy J. Shapero, Joshua P. Prager
Knowledge of the psychology of pain can greatly improve the treatment of chronic pain. Many pain patients are involved in litigation as a result of accidents, work-related injuries, or medical malpractice. Negative experiences further interact and impact treatment, therefore, treatment should include management of psychological problems. Various types of psychotherapy methods are incorporated depending on the needs of the patient. No single psychotherapeutic approach is effective and appropriate for all patients, problems, and contexts of pain.39,40 Therefore, it is best to utilize a combination of psychotherapeutic orientations.
Analyzing and integrating a body of knowledge: Systematic reviews and meta-analysis of evidence
Published in Milos Jenicek, Foundations of Evidence-Based Medicine, 2019
The purpose of a quantitative, ‘classical’ meta-analysis is usually to assess the effectiveness of treatments, health programs and interventions, and less often to assess other cause–effect relationships. For instance, is there a relationship between intelligence and schizophrenia in young subjects? Does a full moon affect mental health and behavior? Is psychotherapy effective? Can hyperactivity in children be controlled pharmacologically or by dietary regimens? ‘Classical’ or quantitative meta-analysis addresses two basic questions: How is one variable related to another?How strong is the evidence for the relationship?

The register opened for pilot testing June 2018. Official implementation was started in September 2018. In the first phase, all psychotherapies that the HUS purchases for adults from private producers were included. Outsourced services form the main body of psychotherapies offered to adult patients and include three groups: (1) primary care patients referred to short psychotherapy (later: ‘short psychotherapy, primary care’), (2) patients in psychiatric specialty care, referred to short psychotherapy (‘short psychotherapy, specialty care’) and (3) patients in psychiatric specialty care, referred to long psychotherapy (‘long psychotherapy’). Short psychotherapy covers up to 20 sessions; long psychotherapy includes 40 sessions per annum, for up to three years. Therapists commit to using the FPQR when applying to become a provider of outsourced services. Invoicing checks that the therapist have entered the data before the invoices are approved. Thus, the incentives for using the register are clear for the therapists. Response rate can be calculated by comparing invoicing and FPQR. Non-Finnish speaking therapists are not required to use FPQR because the contents are only in Finnish. A short (0.5–2 h, live or online) training in the software is offered to the therapists. Additional training and individual help in using the registry is available on demand.
Older Veterans’ Treatment Preferences: Psychotherapy and Self-Management Treatment Modalities
Published in Clinical Gerontologist, 2023
Flora Ma, Chalise Carlson, Rowena Gomez, Christine E. Gould
The Technology Semi-Structured Interview Guide included pictures (i.e., sample intervention screenshots) of the treatment modalities including psychotherapy and self-management modalities (printed materials, DVD videos, mobile-apps, and Internet-based). Psychotherapy was described as psychotherapy with a counselor or therapist. Further, it was specified that psychotherapy could be delivered in-person, by phone, or via video telehealth. Participants were asked to rank the four self-management modalities preferences compared with psychotherapy to cope with emotional difficulties and to provide the rationale underlying their choice. For the purposes of this study, participants were grouped into two groups based on their first preferred treatment: psychotherapy or self-management. Interviewers asked participants’ opinions on their choice of ranked treatment preferences as qualitative feedback.
Tele-Drama Therapy with Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Field Training Project
Published in Clinical Gerontologist, 2023
The third side connects tele-psychotherapy and psychotherapy with older populations. The results showed that the ability to conduct therapy sessions on the phone in the participants’ homes enhanced the accessibility of the therapy and encouraged participation. These findings are in line with works indicating that tele-psychotherapy is effective for older adults (Choi, Marti et al., 2020; Choi, Pepin et al., 2020; Kopel et al., 2022). The online setting can overcome barriers that prevent access to psychotherapy (Lavingia et al., 2020), such as geographic distance and stigmas regarding therapy, since the sessions are conducted in the patients’ homes, without the need to physically go to a clinic (Chen et al., 2020). Both the students and the older participants reported that the phone setting had limitations, such as the lack of boundaries between home and therapy, and the absence of physicality and shared space. The blurred boundaries between home and therapy also made it difficult to come to terms with the end of the therapeutic relationship.
