Abstract:

SUMMARYThis paper concerns one of the four research projects developed during a training course in clinical epidemiology managed by the Lombardy training centers IREF. Objectives — To compare the recommandations for treatment concerning 9 vignettes derived from the Australian Quality Assurance Project. Setting — Six Mental Health Services of Regione Lombardia. Design and Participants — For each vignette, all psychiatrists working in the 6 Mental Health Services were asked to fill in a questionnaire about treatment location, psychopharmacology, psychotheraphy, priority between psychotherapy and psychopharmacology and degree of difficulty in answering. Results — 44 out of 52 target psychiatrists took part to the study. Remarkable variability for treatment location and psychotherapies; moderate variation for psychodrugs prescriptions and a good agreement for diagnoses were observed. In drugs prescription an eccess of association was observed. The most prevalent model of psychotherapy was the psychodynamic, followed by the cognitivebehavioural and the family-systemic. There was a tendency toward a flexible approach, as suggested by recommendations of different psychotherapeutic models according to the nature of the disorder. No case were judged very difficult; only in 3 cases a judgement of «somewhat difficult» was expressed by more than 20% (but less than 30%) of the psychiatrists. Conclusions — Studies of this type are very easy to carry out and give useful information for continuous training programs and Continuous Quality Improvement projects.

Abstract:

Documentation used in psychotherapy for quality assurance can be useful, but also time consuming and inflexible. In the process of behavior analysis, therapy planning and conducting therapy, a large amount of clinical data have to be structured and organized. We present an economical documentation method that contains information about the most important causes of problem behavior and expectations about how much certain therapy components will achieve the therapist and client therapy aims. This documentation method can assist therapy planning, serve as a communicative tool for colleagues and supervisors, serve as an educational tool for clients, and be utilized as a self-reflective therapy discourse (quality assurance). The paper describes and pilots the use of a transtheoretical, graphic approach, the therapeutic concept diagram, for the above-mentioned aspects of quality assurance. Four experienced analytic therapists and six experienced cognitive-behavioral therapists documented therapeutic concept diagrams for five clients each. These 50 recorded therapeutic concept diagrams are described. In general, the diagrams were rated as useful for documentation and treatment planning. Ratings of the diagrams as a communicative tool and for a self-reflective therapy discourse were heterogenic, with analytical therapists tending to benefit more. The discussion focuses on application settings and limitations and highlights the heuristic value of assessing idiographic hypotheses.

Abstract:

Practising psychiatrists' views about the treatment of schizophrenia were investigated as part of a Quality Assurance Project. A questionnaire which asked for treatment recommendations for each of four case descriptions of patients with schizophrenia was mailed to a one-in-six random sample of Australian psychiatrists; 90% responded. Psychiatrists almost uniformly advocated the use of antipsychotic drugs and usually recommended concurrent supportive psychotherapy or family/social intervention procedures. The recommendations varied systematically, according to the initial history obtained and to the initial response to treatment.

Abstract:

The Quality Assurance Project is developing explicit and detailed treatment outlines for each of the major psychiatric disorders. Three sources of information are used: the treatment outcome literature, the opinions of a sample of practising psychiatrists and the views of a panel of nominated experts. The recommendations for the treatment of somatoform disorders were as follows: brief dynamic psychotherapy, family therapy and excellent medical consultation are the basis for the treatment of hypochondriasis. Limited long-term supportive psychotherapy and good medical consultation are important in somatization disorder. Symptom relief, psychotherapeutic support and meticulous collaboration with physicians are the keys to managing psychogenic pain disorder. Physiotherapy to improve physical functioning and patient education to facilitate the distinction between normal symptoms and abnormal illness behaviours are important in all three conditions. Neither the benzodiazepines nor behaviour therapy appear to be of use in these conditions.

The recommendations for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder were as follows: for those patients who have no significant personality disorder, either short-term dynamic psychotherapy or cognitive behaviour therapy is indicated if the illness has lasted less than a year or if obsessions are the predominant symptoms. When compulsions predominate, particularly when they have been present for more than a year, response prevention is the treatment of choice. Tricyclic antidepressants and cingulo-tractomy are also worthy of consideration in patients with persisting symptoms. Psychotherapy or cognitive behaviour therapy are the approaches recommended for compulsive personality disorder.

Abstract:

The views of practising psychiatrists on treatment of the depressions were investigated as part of a Quality Assurance Project. A one in six random sample of all Australian psychiatrists was mailed a questionnaire. This asked for treatment recommendations for each of five case descriptions of patients with depression. Respondents were asked to code their treatment plans from a glossary listing possible treatments for depression: 85% of the sample responded. Tricyclic antidepressants were the treatment of choice for two cases of endogenous depression, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) being recommended when psychotic features were present or when drug therapy had failed. Psychotherapies were the treatment of choice for cases with neurotic features, drugs being recommended when Improvement with psychotherapy did not occur.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an overview and analysis of a professional doctorate that was designed specifically for the training of psychologists in the fields of counselling psychology and psychotherapy, namely, the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy by Professional Studies (DCPsych). Design/methodology/approach – This programme has needed to combine the demands of different professional bodies for the development of a range of clinical competencies with the doctoral level demands of the university and of the UK Quality Assurance Agency in terms of adherence to a required set of doctoral level descriptors. Findings – The paper presents a critical review of a number of key areas that have needed to be addressed in both the design and delivery of this programme. It addresses in some detail the interface between clinical training and research activities, demonstrating how these can intertwine and mutually complement each other. Specific issues that are addressed in the paper include the articulation of relevant doctoral level descriptors, the teasing out of key areas that define doctoral level work and the complexities of putting some of these into practice within the DCPsych programme. Originality/value – In particular, the paper reflects on the issue of critical capability at doctoral level, the challenge of making a significant contribution to the practice field and the implications for candidates of journeying towards a position of authority as they develop their doctoral work. The paper concludes with the suggestion that what has been developed is an extremely interesting and innovative programme that is not for the faint hearted.

Abstract:

The Quality Assurance Project is developing explicit and detailed treatment outlines for each of the major psychiatric disorders. Three sources of information are used: a meta-analysis of the treatment outcome literature, the opinions of a sample of practising psychiatrists, and the views of a panel of nominated experts. The recommendations for the treatment of anxiety states were as follows: Phenelzine and then the tricyclic antidepressants were the treatments of choice for panic disorder. Behaviour therapy—cognitive anxiety management, relaxation and hyperventilation control—being recommended as an essential adjunct to drug therapy. Relaxation and dynamic psychotherapy separately, or in combination, were the treatments of choice for generalised anxiety disorder with cognitive procedures being of value and benzodiazepines only being recommended for short-term use. In complicated cases of either panic disorder or generalised anxiety disorder a long-term supportive psychotherapeutic relationship was regarded as essential to ensure smooth progress in treatment. In adjustment disorder with anxious mood, procedures to permit adaptation to the stressor were recommended, while in post-traumatic stress disorder psychotherapeutic techniques to allow the trauma to be reexperienced and worked through were favoured.

Abstract:

Treatment outlines for avoidant, dependent and passive-aggressive personality disorders were developed by having nominated experts consider their own views in the light of the treatment literature and the responses of practising psychiatrists. The experts recommend that long-term psychotherapy is the treatment of choice and that a considerable component of the outcome will be related to the therapeutic relationship. Assessment, general approaches to treatment, and strategies in psychodynamic management are outlined in some detail. For those individuals for whom long-term therapy is not available or appropriate, other therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, can be promising.

Abstract:

Abstract Routine outcome measurement and progress monitoring is well established to enhance quality assurance in clinical psychology service delivery but is not widely used in routine care. A major barrier to more widespread implementation is the lack of public domain, brief, psychometrically sound outcome measures that easily integrate into clinical information systems. The current study assessed a brief 10-item version of the widely used Depression Anxiety Stress (DASS)-42 scale, which we called the Depression Anxiety Stress-10 (DASS-10) scale. In two clinical samples of adults (n = 1036, 445 men, 591 women; and n = 1084, 493 men, 591 women), the DASS-10 had a replicable two-level factor structure, which at the lower level had two factors assessing stress-anxiety and depression, which each loaded onto a superordinate psychological distress scale. The items in the distress score discriminated between a clinical sample (n = 376) and a community sample (n = 379) and were sensitive to clinical change. The measure has the potential to make routine outcome measurement and progress monitoring more cost-effective to implement than existing measures, particularly when integrated with practice management software to make administration, scoring, and use easy.
