Q

Differential diagnosis

A

• Especially important is the inner motivation of an individual for his/her behavior.
• Looking solely at the behavior of an individual can be too short-sighted.
• It’s recommended to structure the diagnostic process with a set of different steps:
1. Self-report instruments 2. Interview

Q

FFM characteristics

A

• The most studied operationalization of the FFM is the NEO-PI-R.
• FFM captures the essential feature of personality and any personality construct can be mapped onto the domains.
• It makes sense to take the FFM of normal personality as a point of departure in deriving a dimensional description of maladaptive
personality functioning.

Q

FFM limitations

A
  • Not all factors have been found to be equal; particularly the interpretation of the fifth factor (referred to as intellect, culture,
    openness, or unconventionality)
  • The factorial “home” of impulsiveness seems variable across different versions of the FFM
  • Not sure if FFM adequately captures more severe manifestations of personality psychopathology, for example the
    deliberate self-harm behaviors of BPD

Q

AMPD characteristics

A

it’s assumed that PDs are characterized by problems in self-functioning (identity and self-direction) and problems • Dimensional personality traits are based on the five domains of 25 maladaptive personality traits, based on the factors of the FFM.
• In the AMPD
in interpersonal functioning (empathy and intimacy).
• The official measure of the DSM-5-dimensional model is the personality inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5).

Q

Self-reports (risk)

A

personality pathology by definition is ego-syntonic, and personality-disordered individuals may thus be liable to produce biased self-portrayals.

  • How can we best describe the client’s support system?
  • What way is the client’s support system of help?

Q
  1. cognitions and schemas
A
  • Everyone has implicit and explicit schemas
  • Dominant theme regarding yourself, others and the world
  • Rigid, non-adaptive
  • Arise in childhood
  • Conscious, familiar
    • Instruments
  • Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ)
  • Nederlandse Persoonlijkheids Vragenlijst-2 (NPV-2)
17
Q
  1. personality structure/dynamics
A
  • Not about diagnosis but about generating hypotheses about the structural, underlying vulnerability of the patient
    • Projective tests
  • TAT: you project your inner world into these pictures, so the story you make up about the picture tells you something about your inner structure
18
Q
  1. attachment/early trauma
A
  • To get an idea of someone’s attachment style, i.e., their interpersonal dynamics in short-term and long-term interpersonal relationships
    • Types of attachment: - Secure
  • Dismissive/avoidant (prefer to be by yourself)
  • Preoccupied (prefer to be with others; questions such as who am
    I to you, do you even like me as a friend?)
  • Fearful/avoidant (difficult to be with self and others)
19
Q
  1. Temperament/biological make up
A
  • Stable personality characteristics/biology
  • Trait-oriented
    • Instruments:
  • Temperament and Character Questionnaire (TCI)
  • Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-3): tests the Big Five
20
Q

Dodo bird hypothesis

A

when bona fide (treatment that targets a clinically relevant problem or issue and is tailored to the patient) treatments are compared they yield roughly equal outcomes.

21
Q

cognitive contrast hypothesis

A

CBT is superior to other non-CBT treatments.

22
Q

Cognitive contrast results

A
  • CBT superior to psychodynamic therapy

- But not superior to IPT, Behavioural treatments, ACT

23
Q

Type of problem treated results

A
  • not statistically significant
24
Q

Dodo bird hypothesis - evidence

A
  • research confirmed
  • there is some difference among the disorders –> most equivalence for depression
  • -> mostly young samples
25
Q

Meta analysis assessing the psychotherapies for BPD

A

• Various independent psychotherapies demonstrated efficacy for borderline-relevant symptoms, self-harm, suicide, health service use, and general psychopathology in BPD.
• Effects were small, inflated by publication bias, and particularly unstable for follow-up.
• Treatment intensity didn’t seem to influence outcomes.
• They found no evidence that treatment retention would be higher for specific psychotherapies than for control interventions,

contradicting systematic claims from individual trials.

26
Q

Effectivity research plagued by dichotomies

A
  • Client vs. therapist
  • Therapy A vs. therapy B
  • Brief vs. long-term
  • Specific techniques vs. common factors
  • Process vs. outcome
  • Qualitative vs. quantitative
  • Statistical vs. clinical significance
  • Practice vs. evidence-based
27
Q

Facts about psychotherapy

A
  1. Psychotherapy is more effective than no treatment
  2. Psychotherapy is more effective than placebo controls
  3. Psychotherapy is more effective than medication
  4. All psychotherapies have similar outcomes
28
Q

Factors responsible for therapeutic change

A
  1. extra therapeutic change 40%
  2. common factors 30%
  3. techniques 15&
  4. Expectancy (placebo) 15%
