The

Patient

Pre-treatment expectations predict treatment completion (Cavanagh et al, 2010) and longer term treatment outcomes (Graaf et al, 2010)Higher levels of motivation, program credibility, anticipated adherence, self-efficacy and a lower degree of hopelessness are associated with benefits achieved with self-help programs (MacLeod et al, 2009)

19

Slide20

Expectations

People’s

expectations of CCBT may differ from the reality:‘I didn’t expect homework’‘I suppose I thought it would be some sort of counselling’‘I wasn’t sure about their [helper] role - I didn’t realise that she was going to work through the book with me’ ‘I don’t know how long the sessions were supposed to be’Macdonald et al, 2007

20

Slide21

Attrition

Meta-analysis of studies of CCBT for depression mean

attrition rate 32% (range 0-75% - Kaltenthaler et al, 2008)No significant difference in attrition between guided self help and FTF therapies in head-to-head RCTs* (Cuijpers et al, 2010)Managing expectations, program matching, planning endings, reviewing progress and strategies for managing difficulties with engagement may support completion

The Problem

Anxiety disorders (GAD, Panic Disorder, Phobias, PTSD, Social Anxiety, OCD)

DepressionOthers …The need for support can vary by disorderAnxiety can often benefit from minimally guided self-helpDepression may require additional support Newman et al (2011)Depression may be associated with reduced motivation, reduced activation, feelings of hopelessness, rumination and cognitive impairment which may make engagement more difficult

Therapists with training in self-help are more confident and positive about self help (

Keeley et al, 2002)Therapist expectancies and frequency of programme use are improve with training (McLeod et al, 2009)A clear deadline for the duration of the treatment improves completion (Andersson et al, 2009)A scheduled 10 minute contact, no more than once a week seems important - no added value to more frequent contact (Klein et al, 2009)

Communication

types

Synchronous communicationInstant messaging e.g. Google Talk TMTelephoneVirtual environments e.g. Second Life®Video and audio links e.g. Skype TMAsynchronous communicationEmailBulletin boardSMS (text messaging)

31

Slide32

Benefits of asynchronous

communication

Fewer difficulties with managing an appointment time or working across different time zonesThe convenience of replying when you're ready and able to replyA ‘zone of reflection’ that allows helper & participant to think. For the participant, this might bring opportunities for issues concerning impulsivity, help develop a self-observing ego & ‘working through’ of material. For the helper, replies can be more carefully planned and countertransference worked through more effectively

32

Slide33

Challenges

with asynchronous communication (1)

The boundaries of a specific, time-limited ‘appointment’ are lost. Potential for the helper to feel overwhelmed by contact from the participant, by receiving numerous, detailed or frequent e-mailsThere may be a reduced feeling of ‘presence’ because the participant and helper are not working together in the same momentSome of the spontaneity of interacting ‘in the moment’ is lost, along with what spontaneous actions can communicate about a person

33

Slide34

Challenges with asynchronous

communication (2)

There may be some loss of the sense of commitment that meeting ‘in the moment’ can createPauses in the conversation, arriving late and ‘no-shows’ are lost as psychologically significant cues (although pacing and length of replies in asynchronous communication may serve as cues)The written word may be more ‘triggering’ than the spoken word. What is written can be held and re-read as often as the participant chooses, while it is easy to become preoccupied with just one part of the message

34

Slide35

Benefits of synchronous

communication

The ability to schedule sessions defined by a specific, limited period of time & the boundaries implicit in an appointmentA feeling of ‘presence’ created in real timeInteractions may show more spontaneity, resulting in more uncensored disclosures by the participantMaking the effort to be with the person for a specific appointment may be seen as a sign of commitment and dedicationPauses in the conversation, coming late to a session and ‘no-shows’ are not lost as temporal cues that may have psychological meanings

35

Slide36

Challenges with synchronous communication

The difficulties and inconvenience in scheduling a session at a particular time, especially if the participant and

helper are in different time zonesThere may be less ‘reflective space’ - the time between exchanges to think and compose a considered responseIn the mind of the participant, ‘therapy’ may be associated specifically with the appointment and not perceived as a process that can occur outside of that time

TheRelationship

37

Slide38

Beginnings

The

first stage in delivering a computer mediated approach is information gathering. Some questions we may want to consider are:What does the participant want?In light of what the participant wants, can I / we help?What are the risks of working with this participant?Is this the most appropriate treatment for this person?

38

Slide39

The C

ontract

The contract defines at least two important aspect of the relationship:The ‘business’ contract – defines the frequency of meetings, duration, payment etc.The ‘therapy’ contract – helps define a focus and goals for the interventionDuring initial contact, or early in the relationship, several activities are often helpful …

39

Slide40

Clarifying

the Boundaries

When and how will contact be made?How many sessions will be provided?For how long?What access, if any, the participant has to the helper between sessions?What are the limits of confidentiality?

40

Slide41

Clarifying the

Purpose

What does the participant want from therapy overall?How do the therapy goals relate to the participant’s life goals?What do they want / not want to happen?What are the participant’s expectations of the process?What can the helper provide?

41

Slide42

Claude Steiner – 4 Requirements

(1974)

Mutual consent - involves an offer and an acceptance arrived at by negotiationConsideration - includes the benefits conferred, which may be bargained for and that are agreed upon. Each puts something of value into the relationshipCompetency - both parties will be competent to carry out what has been agreed upon in the contractLawful intent – ‘the contract must not be in violation of the law or against public policy or morals, nor should the consideration be such nature’ Steiner (1974, p250)

42

Slide43

Expectations

What does the

helper expect from the participant?Punctuality?Clear goals?Demonstrable commitment?Work outside sessions?What else?

43

Slide44

A Multiplicity of Relationships

The working alliance

The transference relationshipThe reparative, or ‘developmentally-needed’ relationshipThe person-to-person relationshipThe transpersonal relationship

44

Slide45

The

Working Alliance (1 of 2)

The working alliance is the fundamental bond between helper and participantThe alliance develops within the framework of a clear business contractHelpers support the development of the alliance by using active listening skills and by modelling a collaborative relationship

45

Slide46

The Working

Alliance (2 of 2)

Bordin (1979) proposes three essential aspects of the working allianceThe collaborative setting of goalsThe joint agreement on tasksThe development of a human relationship or bond

46

Slide47

ZPD

Working within each individual patient’s zone of proximal development (

Vygotsky, 1978) aids the establishment and maintenance of the therapeutic alliance. The zone of proximal development is the area of ability where the participant cannot yet complete tasks unaided, yet is capable of doing so with support

47

Slide48

The

Transference Relationship 1

Transference describes the ways in which, outside of awareness, we transfer our thoughts, emotions and impulses onto others. We may ascribe to the other person motives , desires, thoughts or emotions which are our own, though of which we are, at best, only dimly aware

48

Slide49

The Transference

Relationship 2

Transference has been defined as: ‘The experience of feelings, attitudes, fantasies, and defences towards a person in the present which are inappropriate to the person and are a repetition, a displacement of reactions originating in regard to significant persons in early childhood’Greenson (1965, p156)

49

Slide50

Transference – Types 1

Transference can be ‘positive’ or ‘negative’, in that it can facilitate or impede effective working. It can be ‘proactive’ – directly from our own experience, or ‘reactive’ – in response to the transference of another

personA key task in working with the transferential relationship is to help separate the ‘here and now’ reality from thoughts, behaviours and emotions that are more relevant to past relationshipsAll relationships will be influenced by transference phenomena, those of helpers and participants alike

50

Slide51

Transference – Types 2

The

intensity of a participant’s transference reaction and our transferential responses to participants are useful guides as to whether we can form a helpful and effective helping relationshipIn the presence of intense transference, longer term psychological therapy may be required

51

Slide52

Transference - Clarkson

Proactive

transference: What the participant brings to the relationship / the participant’s projections of past experiences onto the helperProactive countertransference: What the helper brings to the relationship / the helper’s transference towards the participantReactive transference: What the participant reacts to because of what the helper brings to the relationshipReactive countertransference: What the helper reacts because of what the participant brings to the relationship

52

Slide53

The Reparative Relationship

The

developmentally-needed or reparative relationship is defined by Clarkson (1995, p108) as:‘Intentional provision by the psychotherapist of a corrective, reparative or replenishing relationship or action where original parenting was deficient, abusive or over-protective’Clarkson identifies three classes of problem which may result in developmental gaps:Trauma (e.g. sexual abuse)Strain or repeated less severe traumas (e.g. neglect and deprivation)Extra-familial limitations and catastrophes (e.g. genetic conditions)

The Reparative Relationship

54

Slide55

The

Person-to-Person Relationship

Miller (2000) writes:‘We have a responsibility to be a complete, responsive, caring ‘other’ for the patient, and to understand that the patient will develop and mature not only from our skill as helpers, but also from our humanity’We can see the developing capacity for authentic person-to-person relating as a desirable goal of psychological therapy Authenticity means being true to one's own personality, spirit, or character (Miriam-Webster, 2012)

55

Slide56

The

Person-to-Person Relationship

The person-to-person relationship tends to emerge and deepen as therapeutic relationships progress and the relative influence of the transference relationship diminishes (McCormick, 2000)

56

Slide57

The Person-to-Person Relationship

The person-to-person relationship may be characterised by increased self-disclosure on the part of the advisor (

Gelso & Carter, 1985)Clarkson notes that the transition from the reparative or transferential relationship to the person-to-person relationship can be difficult, and when it happens, frequently heralds a significant change in the relationshipTo be available for the authentic person-to-person relationship we must be in touch with, aware of, and responsive to, our own needs as individuals

57

Slide58

The

Transpersonal Relationship 1

Transpersonal psychology has its roots in the work of Abraham Maslow (1969)Transpersonal psychology studies the transpersonal, transcendent or spiritual aspects of the human experience. Transpersonal experiences may be defined as:‘Experiences in which the sense of identity or self extends beyond the individual or personal to encompass wider aspects of humankind, life, psyche or the cosmos’

58

Slide59

The Transpersonal

Relationship 2

Clarkson (1995 p181) describes the transpersonal relationship as:‘The timeless facet of the psychotherapeutic relationship, which is impossible to describe, but refers to the spiritual dimension of the healing relationship’While not within the helper’s role to provide spiritual guidance, though we must remember not to neglect participant’s issues of connectedness with others and the wider world. Issues of life, mortality and existence, morality, agency and absurdity will concern us all at times, perhaps most during times of loss or transition

59

Slide60

Cues anddynamics

60

Slide61

Non-Proximal Therapy

Psychological therapy provided without being in the same room as the participant (non-proximal therapy) brings unique

challengesThe fewer the cues there are about the emotional state of the participants, the more challenges there may beGenerally, as perceptual cues become increasingly limited or as the potential for immediacy reduces, the greater become the ‘perceptual gaps’ that may be filled by projections, assumptions and fantasies – helpful or otherwise

61

Slide62

A

Hierarchy of Cues

The further down the list, the fewer cues exist to facilitate understanding between participants and the more skills are required to communicate effectively on an emotional level

Slide63

Projection –

‘Filling In’ Perceptual Gaps

Peter Gay (1988, p. 281) describes projection as:‘The operation of expelling feelings or wishes the individual finds wholly unacceptable - too shameful, too obscene, too dangerous - by attributing them to another’When people have limited information about the other, the scene can be set for misunderstandings borne of projection – where psychological material of our own is attributed to the other person. The potential for projection is increased the less we know about the other, and the more we may tend to objectify them and ‘fill in the gaps’ with our own unconscious material

63

Slide64

Transference to the M

achine

Some people see computers as helpful, they may view their smartphones, tablet computers or personal devices as personal, important and intimately their ownOthers may see computers as frustrating objects, unreliable and mysterious, waiting to thwart them and poised to crash and lose their personal material, or be invaded by evil viruses or spyware

64

Slide65

Four-cornered Contracts

I

n any form of technology mediated interaction, all participants will bring their own ‘baggage’ into the relationship, so the relationship is between at least four parties – the agency, the participant, the helper and the technology that facilitates (or impedes) communication

Slide66

Disintegration and

Primitive Processes

The result of destructive transference relationships and hostile projections can be disintegration, where aspects of the participant’s psyche become fragmented and the experience of the self and a coherent and cohesive whole is damagedNon-proximal therapy does not suit everyone, and care must be taken to ensure prompt action is taken to ‘step up’ the participant to other services should disintegration or decompensation be evident

66

Slide67

Disintegration and

Primitive Processes

The anonymity and immediacy of the Internet, together with the lack of recognition of the others as being rich and complex individuals has brought about a number of well-documented adverse events, for example the encouragement of online suicide and the pathology of ‘thinspiration’ sitesThe occurrence of ‘flame wars’ exhibit primitive splitting and denigration – what may be termed ‘the cruelty of crowds’

67

Slide68

Disintegration and

Primitive Processes

Issues brought about by the discussion early trauma may provoke disintegration or decompensation, while people with ‘body’ issues may feel safer online, where they may feel free from the pressure of being scrutinisedThe premature termination of treatment, brought about by a participant’s sudden withdrawal from services may signify some attempt on behalf of the participant to protect themselves from some noxious stimulus

68

Slide69

Identity I

ssues

It is not always possible to know for sure who is on the end of a telephone or who is listening in, and it’s often harder still to assure the identity of the author of an emailIt is relatively trivial for people to impersonate others in an email exchange (‘spoofing’) and a serious breach of confidentiality can ensue

69

Slide70

Identity I

ssues

Some people choose to work with a false identity online, and without face-to-face contact there is sometimes little that can be done to completely assure the age, identity, even gender of a participant Advisors may want to identify a ‘key word’ or phrase known only to the participant and advisor which means the email can be reliably authenticated as coming from the participant

70

Slide71

Bystander

Apathy

‘Bystander apathy’ is a term coined after the murder of Kitty Genovese in New York in 1964Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death near her home in Queens, New York. Genovese parked 100 feet from her apartment's door, when was approached by Winston Moseley who stabbed her twice in the back. She screamed: "Oh my god he stabbed me! Help me!" she was heard by several neighbours; Moseley stabbed her several more times. While she lay dying, he sexually assaulted her

71

Slide72

Bystander

Apathy

Investigation revealed that about a dozen individuals nearby had heard or seen at least some part of the attackKitty’s death prompted research into ‘bystander apathy’ – the idea that someone else will do something about a situation, leading to abdication of personal responsibilityResponsibility diffusion is a well-known aspect of online group working, where one might be unsure of the identities, whereabouts or even number of people in an online group, it is easy to assume someone else will act appropriately

72

Slide73

William

Melchert-Dinkel

William Melchert-Dinkel, 49, of Faribault, USA was convicted in 2011 of two counts of aiding suicideMelchert-Dinkel, an ex-nurse, searched online for depressed people. He posed as a suicidal 20 year old female nurse, feigned compassion and offered instructions on how they could most effectively kill themselves

73

Slide74

William

Melchert-Dinkel

He took part in online chats about suicide with 100 people, entered into fake suicide pacts with about 10, five of whom he believed killed themselvesHe told police he did it for the ‘thrill of the chase’

74

Slide75

Anonymity,

Immediacy and Disclosure

There is a tendency for Internet and other reduced-cue interactions to move quickly to intimate levels of disclosure - more quickly than face-to-face interactionsThis may be facilitated by anonymity, by positive transference and by the disinhibition afforded by the wearing of the electronic equivalent of a mask

75

Slide76

Anonymity,

Immediacy and Disclosure

One of the common consequences of a rapid move to intimacy is shock and withdrawal after revealing too much of ourselves online. It is not uncommon for people to abandon online therapy after realising how quickly they have revealed their more intimate selves to someone relatively unknown

76

Slide77

John Suler: SixCharacteristics

77

Slide78

John Suler – ‘Six Characteristics’

John

Suler (2004) has written about six characteristics of the Internet which can lead to change in behaviour:You don’t know meYou can’t see meSee you laterIt’s all in my headIt’s just a gameWe’re all equalhttp://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/psycyber.html

78

Slide79

Dissociative Anonymity

You don't know

me …Dissociative anonymity – we become deindividuated, as though wearing a mask. We can’t be seen, so we are less concerned about how we may look to others. We might act as though we have permission to say exactly how we feel, irrespective of the consequences

79

Slide80

Invisibility

You

can’t see me …Allows for misrepresentation of the self e.g. male posing as female & vice versaInvisibility prevents reading of social cues; small changes in facial expression, tone of voice etc.Even if one's identity is known and anonymity is removed from the equation, the inability to physically see the person on the other end causes one's inhibitions to be lowered. One can't be physically seen on the Internet, so the need to concern oneself with appearance and tone of voice is dramatically lowered & sometimes absent

80

Slide81

Asynchronicity

See you

later …Asynchronicity – face-to-face we receive rapid feedback about the effects our words are havingWithout visual cues and with the potential for delays between exchanges, we lack the normal feedback loops which govern the flow and content of our exchanges

81

Slide82

Solipsistic

Introjection

It's all in my head …Reading the words of others can create a surprisingly intimate bond with another person, based on what they choose to reveal to us, rather than the many other, possibly contradictory, non-verbal data that would help contextualize the communication. Reading another's message can ‘insert’ imagined images of what a person looks like or sounds like into the mind. We may associate traits to a user according to our own desires, needs, and wishes – traits that the real person may or may not possess

82

Slide83

Dissociative

Imagination

It's just a game …When we write on our computer or interact with a programme, we can react as though entering a different world, one we can leave at the press of a button and which all traces of what we have done can be erased without traceIt is easy to trivialise our impact on others when they are seen through a computer screen. They become ‘actors’ instead of people, which somehow diminishes our responsibility towards them. It can seem as though we are moving pieces on a board, playing a game rather than relating in any real, everyday sense of the word

83

Slide84

Neutralising

Status

We’re all equal …The words on an email or web comments may come from a person aged 6, 16 or 60. We may have little idea of the thought or emotions behind a sequence of words typed onto a screenThere is no online ‘government’ and limitless opportunity to provoke authority figures and then watch at the impotent rage we can so easily provoke in others. For some people, known at ‘trolls’, such provocation has almost become a ‘sport’

84

Slide85

Telepresence

Telepresence

- the experience of being fully present at a live real-world location remote from one's own physical locationScreen size and ‘immersive experience’We don’t see ourselves as operating a telephone …The more ‘invisible’ the technology, the more immersive the experiencePotential for remote emotional work?

Intervention Priority Sequencing

Danger

(some threat in the system)Confusion (some loss of focus in the system)Conflict (some split, polarisation or conflict in the system)Deficit (some experience of need or deprivation or for reparation)Development (some requirement to increase depth, breadth or complexity)Work needs to be done usually in this order of clearance if it is to be effective

90

Slide91

Danger

T

he conscious or unconscious preoccupation of the system is with survival issues. These will often make work with other themes ineffectiveIssues concerning homicide, suicide, psychosis, risk to others and ethical concerns almost always need to be dealt with firstPeople cannot engage in learning, developing or healing effectively if they feel endangered at any level - and this includes moral endangerment, as in collusion with crime, deceit or abuse

91

Slide92

Confusion

Transference, countertransference and projective identification can become pervasive and crippling. A system suffering from confusion has difficulty identifying

priorities. High focus is associated with high effectiveness When the helper is confused about goals, there is a general sense of disorientation and lack of direction. The task is to restrain premature action and to help clarify issues, roles and relationshipsEngaging in conflict resolution when the system is unclear about the nature, consequences and significance of conflict is often a waste of time and effort

92

Slide93

Conflict

Once clarification has been achieved, it is more probable that conflict resolution, mediation, integration or mutual respect for difference can be accomplished

Conflict issues tend to be characterised by splits, energetic activity, categorically different positions, failure of negotiation, unwillingness to compromise and some combination of active acting out or passive aggressive behaviourWorking too hard with high blood pressure, while being reluctant to sacrifice what is felt as the adrenaline rush of workKnowing that exercise will help depression, yet feeling too low to exercise

93

Slide94

Deficit

Issues

to do with replenishment, knowledge or skills deficits are most likely to be effective if the previous stages have been clearedPriorities when meeting a deficit are first to establish what people already have as resources, skills, training, and optionsFor a helper worried about whether the client complaining of persecution was psychotically paranoid, a call to the GP and the local race relations office was all that was needed to confirm that there was vicious harassment on the client's housing estate

94

Slide95

Development

I

ncreasing complexity, effectiveness, capacity and the range and flexibility of understandings, sensibilities & behaviourThe phase of 'unconscious incompetence’ which Robinson (1974) showed follows ‘unconscious competence’ can be transformed if the helper involves him / herself in a cycle of continuing education, questioning and researchWhen helping is rushed or provided in response to endless demands these aspects are ignored at risk to the joy, curiosity and creativity which brought people to this work in the first place. The care of the professional, whether novice or veteran, should accompany this priority if the system is not to become an empty hypocrisy

Single-Session Therapy

Many come for only one, most three to six sessions

Most leave before postulated therapeutic mechanisms have had time to come into play - ‘rapid improvers’People have considerable powers of spontaneous recuperationPatients belong to social networks which facilitate (or impede) recoveryPatients mull over sessions before, after and in between so long as they’re psychologically in contact with the treatmentSingle session attenders labeled ‘DNA’ or ‘drop-outs’ etc

Single-Session Therapy

Now

is all there isThe client is the expert in their lifeListen – it’s all in thereNot ‘how to fit 10 sessions into one’ rather how to maximise each session so it is a therapeutic experienceThere’s not much time, so don’t rushEach session has a beginning, middle and endEnd on a positiveIncrease developmental directionTherapy is not the only way people change; many things are therapeutic

Stage 1:

Exploration - The helper helps the client explore areas of concernStage 2: Developing new understanding / preferred scenarios - The helper's enable the client to see him / herself from different perspectives and develop deeper understandingStage 3: Action - In the third stage, the helper's role is to assist the person to translate goals into specific action plans

CCBT (

RCT Emphasis 1 of 2

‘There

is no RCT evidence for COPE or Overcoming Depression for the management of depression. Therefore, the Committee could not establish with a reasonable degree of certainty that either of these packages is a clinically or cost-effective method of treating people with depression over and above other management options such as TAU*’

Slide116

No ‘Class Effect’

‘Furthermore

, it was not able to conclude that the CCBT packages for depression could be considered to be equivalent as in a 'class', because of the differences between the packages' presentation, style and complexity’

Serenity Programme 2013

Slide117

BTSteps RCT

‘The

Committee considered the RCT evidence for BTSteps for the management of OCD in which BTSteps was compared with TCBT and relaxation. The Committee noted that in the randomised clinical trials BTSteps was never more effective than TCBT. It also noted that patients were more satisfied with TCBT than with BTSteps’

Media Innovations 1 of 2

‘The

current wording … makes a de facto judgement that a class effect for CCBT does not exist and reverses the thrust of the original 2002 review’‘This is a major and unwarranted decision which will significantly reduce development in this area, produce a monopoly situation, and importantly reduce patient and practitioner choice’

‘The removal of any form of recommendation for Overcoming Depression or COPE will create an effective monopoly position for one commercially developed package …’

ST Solutions

‘The

committees ' recommendation to not recommend OCFighter despite the strong evidence is likely to cause harm to the thousands of patients who will not be treated due to lack availability of services. The NHS is unable … to provide CBT services to 75% of the patients who require CBT treatment and who are in hospital.’

Research recommendations

2 of 3

Future studies should be RCTs & include an ITT* analysis, to take account of drop-outs, and record and report any adverse effects … They should also collect appropriate information on costs and health-related quality of life – data should be collected using generic preference-based measures (in conjunction with condition-specific instruments) because they facilitate the calculation of QALYs **
