1	A Pilot Study Examining the Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Problem Solving Therapy in College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders Pugliese, Cara Elisabeth 14 August 2012 (has links) College students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), though academically capable, can have serious difficulty adapting to the college environment. There is a growing need for the identification and development of efficacious interventions and supports for these young adults. The present study sought to address this need by adapting and piloting a group-based cognitive-behavioral intervention program, Problem-Solving Skills: 101 (PSS:101), to promote problem solving ability in college students with ASD. Primary aims of the study were to adapt a well-established problem solving treatment for college students with ASD into a treatment manual, and to collect data on the feasibility of PSS:101. An exploratory aim was to collect preliminary data on the short-term efficacy of this intervention. Five students with ASD from a public, technology and engineering focused university participated in this nine-week, group-based program. Therapists met all treatment integrity objectives across sessions. Four of the five participants completed at least 8 of the 9 sessions and assigned between-session assignments were generally completed (83% completion rate), indicating a high level of treatment adherence. Independent evaluators' ratings of participant engagement, therapeutic relationship, and group process were relatively high. Preliminary efficacy data suggested mixed results across participants. Further evaluation of the program appears warranted. / Ph. D. feasibility treatment development CBT

What is the percentage success rate of treatment? What percent of patients abstain? What does it mean? How does their somato-psycho-social condition improve? What do we mostly watch? In general, qualitative and quantitative outputs (number of contacts and treated clients, interventions, issued material, etc.) are also assessed, as well as their volume with previous periods, etc. Efficiency indicators often identified and determined by individual facilities; the standards have not yet assumed a unified form forspecific types of services. Claim: The aim of this work, which is focused retrospective on evaluating the effectiveness of the Apolinář treatment, its effective elements and methods of measurement, is to contribute to the effectiveness of the clinic's activities in future, to offer possible stimuli to set up interventions in the context of improving and streamlining the reported therapeutic care and provide possible argumentation also for insurance companies to contract further and in the long...
3	Treatment development in problem and pathological gambling Bulwer, Miranda 11 1900 (has links) This study is an exploration, through ethnographic and auto-ethnographic inquiry, of the personal world, gambling experiences and underlying biopsychosocial vulnerabilities of three individual case studies - one male and two females - each representing a different sub-type of pathological gambler. It comprises the integration and implementation of a psycho-structural stage matching model to explore comorbidity and identify certain biopsychosocial manifestations in the respective stages of pathological gambling. Long term treatment strategies were identified and patient treatment matching was explored. Further, it comprises my personal relationship and therapeutic treatment of these sub-types of gamblers over a period of one year and longer. In this study it is hypothesized that formulating appropriate matching long term treatment strategies should be based on the stage of change, the phase in the psycho-structural model, as well as the gambler's underlying vulnerability. From this a comprehensive gambling disposition profile can be completed with proper intervention matching approaches. A number of other hypotheses emerged from this study that could provide valuable information and serve as a guideline to those working with pathological gamblers. / Psychology / D.Phil.
