Objective
First, to investigate how psychotherapists and patients experience the change from in‐person to remote psychotherapy or vice versa during COVID‐19 regarding the therapeutic interventions ...used. Second, to explore the influence of therapeutic orientations on therapeutic interventions in in‐person versus remote psychotherapy.
Method
Psychotherapists (N = 217) from Austria were recruited, who in turn recruited their patients (N = 133). The therapeutic orientation of the therapists was psychodynamic (22.6%), humanistic (46.1%), systemic (20.7%) or behavioural (10.6%). All the data were collected remotely via online surveys. Therapists and patients completed two versions of the ‘Multitheoretical List of Therapeutic Interventions’ (MULTI‐30) (version 1: in‐person; version 2: remote) to investigate differences between in‐person and remote psychotherapy in the following therapeutic interventions: psychodynamic, common factors, person‐centred, process‐experiential, interpersonal, cognitive, behavioural and dialectical‐behavioural.
Results
Therapists rated all examined therapeutic interventions as more typical for in‐person than for remote psychotherapy. For patients, three therapeutic interventions (psychodynamic, process‐experiential, cognitive interventions) were more typical for in‐person than for remote psychotherapy after correcting for multiple testing. For two therapeutic interventions (behavioural, dialectical‐behavioural), differences between the four therapeutic orientations were more consistent for in‐person than for remote psychotherapy.
Conclusions
Therapeutic interventions differed between in‐person and remote psychotherapy and differences between therapeutic orientations in behavioural‐oriented interventions become indistinct in remote psychotherapy.
The purpose of this article is to analyze the ways of organizing work to "earn a living" in public spaces of workers of the popular economy (E.P onwards) in the capital city of Santiago del Estero ...since 2021. That is, to characterize the activities of obtaining resources and ways of obtaining money, to describe the practices linked to social reproduction and to inquire about the meanings given to the work of selling in public spaces at present. To do this, we resort to the socialization of an ethnographic experience that describes the historically established practices of street vending or fixed stalls in the area of the city's Park and Waterfront. That is, we want to put in tension the dimensions involved in "making a living" for a group of workers organized in the popular economy. The street is undoubtedly a space of domination that systematically produces and reproduces a class structure when it comes to accessing, circulating and inhabiting the different work situations in the cities. In line with the thematic call of the dossier, we propose to recover the notion of "the street" as a multiple and intersectional place that becomes a central dimension to understand the ways of work organization, the obtaining of money, the meanings attributed to street vending, etc. In this way, we make use of the tools provided by ethnography in order to make the nature of economic life and social relations more complex, based on the testimonies and experiences of workers.
O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as formas como os trabalhadores da economia popular (E.P, doravante) da capital Santiago del Estero organizam o seu trabalho para "ganhar a vida" em espaços públicos a partir do ano 2021. Ou seja, caraterizar as actividades de obtenção de recursos e as formas de obtenção de dinheiro, descrever as práticas ligadas à reprodução social e investigar os significados atribuídos ao trabalho de venda no espaço público na atualidade. Para isso, recorremos à socialização de uma experiência etnográfica que descreve as práticas historicamente estabelecidas de venda ambulante ou de bancas fixas na área do Parque e da Orla da cidade. Em outras palavras, queremos estressaras dimensões do "ganhar a vida" de um grupo de trabalhadores organizados na economia popular. A rua é, sem dúvida, um espaço de dominação que produz e reproduz sistematicamente uma estrutura de classe no acesso, circulação e habitação das diferentes situações de trabalho nas cidades. De acordo com a chamada temática do dossier, propomos recuperar a noção de "rua" como um lugar múltiplo e interseccional que se torna uma dimensão central para compreender as formas de organização do trabalho, a obtenção de dinheiro, os significados atribuídos à venda ambulante. Deste modo, utilizamos as ferramentas da etnografia para complexificar a natureza da vida económica e das relações sociais, a partir dos testemunhos e experiências dos trabalhadores.

To explore how mental health professionals address spiritual care for outpatients in weekly multidisciplinary care meetings (MDM), and to explore the barriers and facilitators in the ways health ...professionals address spiritual care in those meetings.
Two teams of mental health professionals providing care for psychiatric outpatients are included. Qualitative data were collected from audio recordings of multidisciplinary meetings and from focus-group interviews afterwards. Data were analysed using ‘open coding’.
Spiritual care was not frequently addressed mostly due to the requirements of the health insurance reimbursement system. Aspects of spirituality addressed in these meetings pertained mainly to meaningful daily activities. Addressing spiritual care was facilitated, on the other hand, by a holistic focus on health and recovery-oriented care.
In ambulatory mental healthcare spirituality is sparsely addressed and, when addressed, few aspects of spirituality come into view. Facilitating healthcare professionals’ awareness of their clinical perspective is an essential step to improve spiritual care for psychiatric outpatients.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent and disabling disorder. This study examines two psychotherapy methods for MDD, behavioral activation (BA), and metacognitive therapy (MCT), when ...applied as outpatient treatments to severely affected patients.
The study was conducted in a tertiary outpatient treatment center. Patients with a primary diagnosis of MDD (N = 122) were included in the intention-to-treat sample (55.7% female, mean age 41.9 years). Participants received one individual and one group session weekly for 6 months (M). Assessments took place at baseline, pretreatment, mid-treatment (3 M), post-treatment (6 M), and follow-up (12 M). The primary outcome was depressive symptomatology assessed by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression at 12 M follow-up. Secondary outcomes included general symptom severity, psychosocial functioning, and quality of life.
Linear mixed models indicated a change in depressive symptoms (F(2, 83.495) = 12.253, p < 0.001) but no between-group effect (F(1, 97.352) = 0.183, p = 0.670). Within-group effect sizes were medium for MCT (post-treatment: d = 0.610; follow-up: d = 0.692) and small to medium for BA (post-treatment: d = 0.636, follow-up: d = 0.326). In secondary outcomes, there were improvements (p ≤ 0.040) with medium to large within-group effect sizes (d ≥ 0.501) but no between-group effects (p ≥ 0.304). Response and remission rates did not differ between conditions at follow-up (response MCT: 12.9%, BA: 13.3%, remission MCT: 9.7%, BA: 10.0%). The deterioration rate was lower in MCT than in BA (χ21 = 5.466, p = 0.019, NTT = 7.4).
Both MCT and BA showed symptom reductions. Remission and response rates were lower than in previous studies, highlighting the need for further improvements in adapting/implementing treatments for severely affected patients with MDD.
Suicide is an important cause of death in patients with mental health disorders, but little is known about the occurrence of suicidal ideation and attempts in outpatient psychotherapy patients. The ...aim of this study was to identify the proportion of patients with and correlates of suicidal ideation and attempts in community‐based psychotherapy practices. Using 983 applications for reimbursement of psychotherapy from individual patients, reports about suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts were extracted along with demographic, biographic and clinical data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify correlates of suicidal ideation and attempts by calculating odds ratios (ORs). Among the patients, 19% presented with suicidal thoughts (11% currently and 8% in the past) and 6% with suicide attempts. Important correlates of suicidal thoughts were male gender (OR 1.7), lower education (OR 1.8), early retirement (OR 2.9), death of a parent when younger than 5 years old (OR 3.3), violence experienced from various people (OR 2.1), self‐harm behaviour (OR 7.9) and alcohol misuse (OR 1.7). Suicide attempts were associated with male gender (OR 5.6), lower education (OR 4.2), violence experienced from partner (OR 2.5) or from various people (OR 9.5) and self‐harm behaviour (OR 15.0). These results show that the proportion of suicidal patients seeking outpatient psychotherapy is high. It should therefore be a central topic in clinical training. Biographic data such as the loss of a parent at an early age or experiencing violence are associated with who is at increased risk and should be explored in detail.
Jedes Jahr erleiden 270.000 Menschen in Deutschland einen Schlaganfall. In vielen Fällen können die betroffenen Personen wieder nach Hause zurückkehren und ihr Leben fortführen, benötigen dabei aber ...ambulante Pflege- und Therapiemaßnahmen. Gerade in ländlichen Regionen bringt dies erhebliche Herausforderungen mit sich, denen sich neue Technologien und die Digitalisierung entgegenstellen. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes diskutieren erste Ergebnisse des Projekts »DeinHaus 4.0 Oberpfalz« aus interdisziplinärer Sicht, bei dem die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes von Telepräsenzrobotern zur Unterstützung ambulanter Pflege- und Therapiemaßnahmen untersucht wird.
Machine learning (ML) may help to predict successful psychotherapy outcomes and to identify relevant predictors of success. So far, ML applications are scant in psychotherapy research and they are ...typically based on small samples or focused on specific diagnoses. In this study, we predict successful therapy outcomes with ML in a heterogeneous sample in routine outpatient care. We trained established ML models (decision trees and ensembles of them) with routinely collected clinical baseline information from n = 685 outpatients to predict a successful outcome of cognitive behavioral therapy. Treatment success was defined as clinically significant change (CSC) on the Brief-Symptom-Checklist (reached by 326 patients; 48%). The best performing model (Gradient Boosting Machines) achieved a balanced accuracy of 69% (p < .001) on unseen validation data. Out of 383 variables, we identified the 16 most important predictors, which were still able to predict CSC with 67% balanced accuracy. Our study demonstrates that ML models built on data, which is typically available at the outset of therapy, can predict whether an individual will substantially benefit from the intervention. Some of the predictors were theoretically expected (e.g., level of functioning), but others need further validation (e.g., somatization). From a theoretical and practical perspective, ML is clearly an attractive addition to more established psychotherapy research methodology.
•At psychotherapy outset, it is non-trivial to predict which patients will benefit.•Machine Learning (ML) is a promising addition to psychotherapy research.•ML models can predict treatment outcome in routine outpatient care.•The best performing ML model achieved a balanced accuracy of 69%.•16 Most important predictors are sufficient; they inform future research.
Gait impairments in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) leading to decreased ambulation and reduced walking endurance remain poorly understood. Our objective was to assess gait asymmetry (GA) and ...bilateral coordination of gait (BCG), among pwMS during the six-minute walk test (6MWT), and determine their association with disease severity. We recruited 92 pwMS (age: 46.6 ± 7.9; 83% females) with a range of clinical disability, who completed the 6MWT wearing gait analysis system. GA was assessed by comparing left and right swing times, and BCG was assessed by the phase coordination index (PCI). Several functional and subjective gait assessments were performed. Results show that gait is more asymmetric and less coordinated as the disease progresses (p < 0.0001). Participants with mild MS showed significantly better BCG as reflected by lower PCI values in comparison to the other two MS severity groups (severe: p = 0.001, moderate: p = 0.02). GA and PCI also deteriorated significantly each minute during the 6MWT (p < 0.0001). GA and PCI (i.e., BCG) show weaker associations with clinical MS status than associations observed between functional and subjective gait assessments and MS status. Similar to other neurological cohorts, GA and PCI may be important parameters to assess and target in interventions among pwMS.
