ABSTRACT The first part of the study deals with theoretical issues of supervision, especially supervision in cognitive behavioral therapy. The practical part is focused to mapping the expectations of supervision of trainees of CBT training in various phases of their training (after 1 year of training and after the fourth year of training, prior to training) and expectations of supervision of trainees training in CBT supervision. ABSS (Attitudes and Beliefs about Supervision Scale) was used as an evaluation instrument to assessed the expectations and beliefs of supervision. The expectations of probands with different experience in supervision were compared to find out where are consensual and where differ. The results show that trainees in supervision (Supervisors) emphasize particularly the importance of self-reflection and structures, Intermediate and advanced training students differ in their attitudes and expectations of supervision minimally (increased emphasis on counter-transference in intermediate students). Probands who are just going into training and have no previous experiences with supervision generally have higher expectations of supervision than trainees, who are already undergoing training. The finding that...

I Sverige drabbas ca 10 - 20% av kvinnor av depression under graviditeten eller efter förlossningen. Då tidigare forskning har gett indikationer på att depression kan ha en negativ inverkan på prenatal anknytning och mamma-barn bindning, är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka detta hos mammor som genomgått internetbaserad kognitiv beteendeterapi (IKBT) för antenatal depression.  Denna uppsats skrevs i samarbete med den randomiserade DANA-studien om IKBT för gravida med depression. Uppsatsen var en prediktions- och sambandsstudie som tillämpar en inomgruppsdesign med tre mättillfällen; före och efter IKBT behandling samt postpartum.  Syftet med uppsatsen var bland annat att undersöka vilka faktorer som förutsäger mamma-barn bindning 8–10 veckor postpartum, samband mellan prenatal anknytning och behandlingsutfall samt samband mellan förändring i depression och förändring i prenatal anknytning under behandlingen. Resultatet indikerar att tidigare missfall samt prenatal anknytning före och efter behandlingen, kunde förutsäga mamma-barn bindning 8-10 veckor postpartum. Prenatal anknytning var inte en signifikant prediktor för förändring i depressionsnivå. Slutligen indikerar resultatet ett signifikant samband mellan förändring i prenatal anknytning samt förändring i depression före och efter behandlingen. / In Sweden, about 10-20% of women suffer from depression during pregnancy or after childbirth. As previous research has given indications that depression can have a negative impact on prenatal attachment and mother-infant bonding, the aim of the essay is to investigate this in mothers who underwent internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for antenatal depression. This paper was written in collaboration with the DANA randomized trial of ICBT for pregnant women with depression. The design was a prediction and correlation study that applies a within-group design with three measurement occasions: before and after ICBT treatment and 8-10 weeks after childbirth. The purpose of the essay was, among other things, to investigate which factors predict mother-infant bonding 8–10 weeks postpartum, the relationship between prenatal attachment and treatment outcome, and the relationship between change in depression and change in prenatal attachment during treatment. The results indicate that previous miscarriages and prenatal attachment before and after treatment could predict mother-child bonding 8-10 weeks postpartum. Prenatal attachment was not a significant predictor of change in depression level. Finally, the results indicate a significant relationship between change in prenatal attachment and change in depression before and after treatment.

Tidigare forskning visar att det finns ett samband mellan depressionssymtom och svårigheter i partnerrelationer. Forskning visar att deltagare efter parterapi har en ökad grad av relationsnöjdhet och en lägre grad av depressionssymtom. Uppsatsen genomfördes inom DANA-projektet (IKBT vid antenatal depression) och syftet var att analysera hur relationsnöjdhet hänger ihop med behandlingsutfall, följsamhet i behandling samt vilja att arbeta med relationer i behandling. Syftet var även att analysera vilka sociodemografiska och kliniska faktorer hos gravida med depression som har ett samband med relationsnöjdhet. I resultatet framkom inget signifikant samband mellan relationsnöjdhet och behandlingsutfall, följsamhet eller val att arbeta med relationer i behandlingen. I resultatet framkom ett signifikant samband mellan högre relationsnöjdhet och högre ekonomi, högre relationsnöjdhet och högre graviditetsönskan, samt högre relationsnöjdhet och lägre grad av depressionssymtom. För att kunna dra säkrare slutsatser över hur relationsnöjdhet och större fokus på relationer påverkar behandlingsutfall vid depressionsbehandling, behövs fortsatt forskning. Fortsatt forskning behövs även för att undersöka bakomliggande faktorer och hur dessa påverkar paret och deras mående. / Previous research shows a connection between symptoms of depression and difficulties in partner-relations. It also shows that the participants relationship satisfaction increased after couples-therapy and that their symptoms of depression decreased. This thesis was conducted in the DANA-project (ICBT during antenatal depression) and the intention was to examine the effect of relationship satisfaction on treatment outcome, adherence, and motivation to work with relationships in treatment. The intention was also to analyze the connection between relationship satisfaction and sociodemographic and clinical factors during pregnancy. The result presented no significant connection between relationship satisfaction and treatment outcome, adherence, or motivation to work with relationships in treatment. Furthermore, the result presented a significant connection between higher relationship satisfaction and higher economic status, higher relationship satisfaction and higher pregnancy desire and higher relationship satisfaction and lower symptoms of depression. Further research is needed to examine how more focus on relations in treatment and relationship satisfaction effects treatment outcome. Further research is also needed to examine underlying factors and how these effect the couple and their well-being.

A large body of research has been devoted to understanding evidence-based interventions (EBI) and their effectiveness in the juvenile justice system. This systematic review examines three commonly used interventions used to reduce recidivism among adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), and Multisystemic Therapy (MST). The systematic review analyzes findings from prior studies evaluating the impact of CBT, FFT, and MST on recidivism among adjudicated youth. The sample includes 23 peer-reviewed studies that utilized samples of adjudicated youth in the United States and were published after 2010. Findings revealed CBT as the most effective intervention, as evidenced by the efficacy demonstrated across all its studies in reducing recidivism rates. Key findings noted that none of the studies included in the analysis demonstrated higher rates of recidivism within the treatment groups compared to control groups. Secondly, a notable trend emerged across the reviewed studies, revealing a statistically significant reduction in recidivism rates among the treated individuals regardless of the EBI.

Le trouble d’anxiété généralisée (TAG) demeure l'un des troubles anxieux les plus courants chez les personnes âgées. Bien qu'il existe des traitements pharmacologiques et psychologiques efficaces, des études suggèrent que le TAG soit sous-traité chez les personnes âgées puisque l’accès à la thérapie leur serait plus difficile. Afin d’augmenter l’accessibilité, des auto-traitements guidés permettant à la personne d’apprendre de manière autonome, à domicile, ont été développés. Toutefois, les recherches antérieures soulignent la nécessité d’examiner les variables prédictives pour déterminer qui bénéficie de ces traitements auto-guidés, considérant le peu d’informations disponibles sur les individus bénéficiant de telles interventions. De plus, l'efficacité à long terme des auto-traitements guidés n'a pas encore été démontrée de manière concluante. Ce problème est d'autant plus important chez les personnes âgées. Il est donc essentiel, pour une bonne application clinique, d'acquérir des connaissances sur les prédicteurs de résultats afin d’identifier les personnes susceptibles de répondre à ces types d'interventions. Par conséquent, cette thèse vise à développer une compréhension plus détaillée de la façon dont différentes variables sont associées à différentes mesures de résultats cliniques chez les personnes âgées, tant à court terme qu'à long terme, afin de faciliter les applications cliniques futures. Les données utilisées dans la présente thèse proviennent d'un essai contrôlé randomisé de plus grande envergure, conçu pour déterminer l'efficacité d'un auto-traitement guidé de 15 semaines pour traiter le TAG chez les personnes âgées, basé sur les principes de la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale (GSH-CBT) et guidé par des non-professionnels. La première étude a examiné les variables démographiques, motivationnelles et psychologiques qui ont prédit les résultats cliniques et l'abandon du traitement GSH-CBT en utilisant les données de 106 adultes âgés de 60 ans et plus. Les résultats cliniques comprenaient l'anxiété, l'inquiétude et l'intolérance à l'incertitude, mesurées respectivement par le GAD-7, le PSWQ et l'IUI. Une anxiété moins importante et une plus grande confiance vis-à-vis du traitement ont permis de prédire de meilleurs résultats post-traitement sur le GAD-7, tandis des inquiétudes moins intenses, une plus grande confiance dans le traitement et des attentes de résultats plus élevées ont permis de prédire de meilleurs résultats sur le PSWQ. Enfin, un niveau plus faible d'intolérance à l'incertitude et d'inquiétude, une plus grande motivation externe pour débuter le traitement, une meilleure perception de la crédibilité de la thérapie et des attentes de résultats plus élevées ont permis de prédire de meilleurs résultats sur l'IUI. Dans les analyses multivariées, seuls les niveaux initiaux d'anxiété, d'inquiétude et d'intolérance à l'incertitude permettaient de prédire l'issue du traitement. La seconde étude visait à déterminer quels facteurs prédisaient l'efficacité à long terme de ce traitement en examinant différentes variables qui prédisaient les mêmes résultats cliniques six mois et douze mois après le traitement, en utilisant les données de 26 adultes âgés de soixante ans et plus. Dans les analyses multivariées, des niveaux moins élevés d'anxiété, d'inquiétude et d'intolérance à l'incertitude, ainsi qu'une plus grande motivation externe, ont permis de prédire les résultats six mois après le traitement, tandis qu'un niveau moins élevé d'anxiété et une plus grande satisfaction à l'égard du soutien social ont permis de prédire les résultats douze mois après le traitement. L’ensemble de ces résultats révèle qu'une sévérité initiale des symptômes plus faible prédit un meilleur résultat du traitement, et que ce traitement peut être plus bénéfique à long terme pour les personnes âgées ayant des niveaux légers à modérés d'anxiété, d'inquiétude et d'intolérance à l'incertitude, motivées à suivre le traitement et ayant un plus grand niveau de satisfaction en matière de soutien social. / Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) remains one of the most common anxiety disorders in older adults. Although effective pharmacological and psychological treatments are available, studies suggest that GAD is still undertreated in seniors because access to therapy is particularly difficult for older individuals. To increase accessibility, guided self-help treatments where the person learns autonomously from home have been developed. However, previous research highlights the need for more effective targeting through the determination of predictor variables to determine who benefits from these treatments, as little is known about which individuals benefit from guided self-help interventions. Furthermore, there is inconclusive evidence regarding the long-term effectiveness of guided self-help treatments. This issue is compounded with regards to older adults, thus gaining knowledge on outcome predictors to properly distinguish who is likely to respond from these types of interventions is vital to its proper clinical application. Therefore, this thesis focuses on developing a more detailed understanding of how different variables are associated with different measures of clinical outcomes in older adults both in the short-term and in the long-term to facilitate future clinical applications. The data used in the current thesis originates from a larger multisite randomized controlled trial designed to determine the efficacy of a 15-week guided self-help treatment of threshold and subthreshold GAD in older adults based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (GSH-CBT) and guided by lay providers. The first study examined the demographic, motivational, and psychological variables that predicted clinical outcomes and treatment dropout in this GSH-CBT using data from 106 older adults aged sixty years and over. Clinical outcomes included anxiety, worry, and intolerance of uncertainty measured by the GAD-7, PSWQ, and IUI respectively. Lower anxiety severity and higher confidence in the treatment predicted better post-treatment outcomes on the GAD-7, whereas lower worry severity, higher confidence in the treatment, and higher outcome expectations predicted better outcomes on the PSWQ. Lastly, lower intolerance of uncertainty and worry severity, greater external motivation for starting the treatment, greater perceived credibility of the therapy, and higher outcome expectations predicted better outcomes on the IUI. In multivariate analyses, only initial anxiety, worry, and intolerance of uncertainty severity predicted treatment outcome. The second study sought to determine which factors predicted the long-term efficacy of this treatment by examining different variables that predicted the same clinical outcomes at 6- and 12-months post-treatment using data from 26 older adults aged sixty years and over. In the multivariate analyses, lower initial anxiety, worry, and intolerance of uncertainty severity, as well as greater external motivation predicted treatment outcome at 6-months post-treatment, and lower initial anxiety and social support satisfaction predicted treatment outcome at 12-months post-treatment. Overall, the results of this thesis suggest that lower initial symptom severity predicts better treatment outcome, and that this treatment may be more beneficial in the long-term to older individuals with mild to moderate anxiety, worry, and intolerance of uncertainty, who are motivated to do the treatment and who have greater social support satisfaction.

L’implantation de programmes probants dans les milieux d’intervention peut comporter son lot de difficultés pour les gestionnaires ainsi que les intervenants en contexte de réadaptation pour adolescents. En effet, les contraintes auxquelles peuvent être confrontés les milieux de pratique mènent parfois à la modification des programmes, ceci en vue de faciliter leur implantation. Il devient alors important de documenter ainsi qu’identifier l’effet des éléments associés à la fidélité d’implantation lorsque les programmes d’intervention sont évalués. En plus d’évaluer l’effet du degré d’exposition au programme cognitif-comportemental implanté dans les unités d’hébergement du Centre jeunesse de Montréal – Institut universitaire (CJM-IU) sur l’ampleur des troubles de comportement des adolescentes, ce mémoire propose une nouvelle piste de recherche. Puisque la recherche empirique ne permet pas encore d’identifier les conditions selon lesquelles il serait possible de modifier les programmes d’intervention qui sont adoptés dans le contexte de la pratique, cette étude propose d’élaborer une logique d’exposition au programme qui s’inspire des principes d’intervention efficace élaborés par Andrews et ses collègues (1990). Cette approche permettrait d’adapter le niveau d’intervention aux caractéristiques de la clientèle, et ce, tout en s’assurant de l’efficacité du programme cognitif-comportemental. L’échantillon de cette étude est donc constitué de 74 adolescentes hébergées au CJM-IU pour une durée de six mois. Les résultats indiquent d’abord que les activités du programme cognitif-comportemental ont été appliquées de façon plutôt irrégulière et bien en deçà de la fréquence initialement prévue, ce qui rend bien compte des difficultés à implanter des programmes en contexte de pratique. Les résultats suggèrent aussi une diminution de l’ampleur des troubles de comportement six mois après l’admission au CJM-IU pour les adolescentes qui étaient caractérisées par une ampleur des troubles de comportement plus marquée au moment de leur admission et qui ont complété un plus grand nombre d’auto-observations durant leur placement. / The implementation of evidence-based programs into real world settings can be a difficult process for administrators and educators with adolescent clientele. Practice settings are faced with constraints that may lead to the modification of intervention programs in order to facilitate their implementation. It is therefore imperative to document and measure the effect of these modifications when programs are evaluated. However, because research hasn’t yet identified the conditions in which it is possible to modify programs for use in intervention settings, this study proposes a new approach based on the principles of effective treatment elaborated by Andrews and his colleagues (1990). This approach allows for the modification of intervention levels while ensuring the effectiveness of the cognitive-behavioral program. This study sampled 74 adolescent girls hosted at the Centre jeunesse de Montréal – Institut universitaire (CJM-IU) over 6 months in order to assess the effects of the cognitive-behavioral program dosage among behavioral disorders. The results indicate that cognitive-behavioral therapy was applied in an irregular fashion and much less frequently than originally planned, which speaks to the difficulties encountered in implementing evidence-based programs in real-world settings. The results also suggest that the adolescent girls with more characteristics of a behavioral disorder and who completed more auto-evaluations during their rehabilitation showed significantly fewer behavioral problems 6 months after the beginning of the treatment.

This study tested the utility of three different models of personality, namely the social and personality model, the pathological personality traits model, and the psychological dysregulation model, in predicting overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency in a sample of detained boys (ages 12 to 18; M age = 15.31; SD = 1.16). Results indicated that the three personality approaches demonstrated different unique associations with aggression and delinquency. The psychological dysregulation approach, composed of behavioral dysregulation, emotional dysregulation, and cognitive dysregulation, emerged as the overall best predictor of overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency. After controlling for the Big Five personality traits, psychological dysregulation accounted for significant variance in overt aggression and delinquency, but not relational aggression. After controlling for callous-unemotional traits and narcissistic traits, psychological dysregulation also accounted for significant variance in overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency. Psychological dysregulation did not account for significant variance in aggression or delinquency after controlling for borderline traits. The pathological personality traits approach, comprised of callous-unemotional traits, narcissistic traits, and borderline traits performed second best. In particular, within this approach borderline traits accounted for the most unique variance, followed by narcissistic traits, then callous-unemotional traits. Borderline traits accounted for significant variance in overt aggression, relational aggression, and delinquency when controlling for the Big Five traits, but not after controlling for psychological dysregulation. Narcissistic traits only accounted for significant variance in overt aggression and relational aggression after controlling for the Big Five personality traits, but not after controlling for psychological dysregulation. CU traits only accounted for significant variance in overt aggression after controlling for the Big Five personality traits, but not after controlling for psychological dysregulation. The social and personality model, represented by the Big Five personality traits accounted for the least amount of variance in the prediction of aggression and delinquency, on its own, and when pitted against the other two personality approaches. The exception was that the Big Five personality traits accounted for significant variance in relational aggression beyond narcissistic traits, as well as psychological dysregulation. These findings have implications for assessment and intervention with aggressive and antisocial youth.
