Looking at Psychotherapy Outcome:
Patient Therapist Interaction and New Research on Process and Outcome
Louis Breger, PhD, Suzanne Gassner, PhD and George Silberschatz, PhD
Saturday, June 2, 2012. Full day conference.
JCC, 2300 California St., SF
This workshop illuminates the effectiveness of psychotherapy through two presentations looking at the outcome of psychotherapy. Louis Breger presents patient accounts of their psychotherapy from his new book, Psychotherapy: Lives Intersecting (Transaction, 2012) in which thirty+ former patients report their experience, in their own words, in many cases a number of years after its conclusion. After a fifty-year career, Breger surveyed these patients to see if their progress, begun in therapy, had continued, expanded, or regressed, highlighting what they remembered as being most helpful, therapeutic, or curative in their treatment. The book, which primarily deals with the connections between the therapist and patient, is a unique long-term follow-up which demonstrates the effectiveness of contemporary analytic psychotherapy.
George Silberschatz presents new research on psychotherapy outcome and the processes of psychotherapy that has grown out of the long history of studies on the psychotherapy process carried out by him and others from the San Francisco Psychotherapy Research Group. Psychotherapy outcome research studies have typically compared the effectiveness of one kind of therapy (e.g., psychodynamic therapy) against another (e.g., cognitive behavior therapy). Although thousands of such studies have been done, the cumulative results of such research has done little to shed light on how therapy works or on how a therapist can best help a particular patient seeking treatment. Silberschatz will present data from his recent process-outcome research, which systematically evaluated how the therapeutic process is linked to treatment outcome. This study assessed the extent to which therapist interventions were responsive to the patient's problems, needs, and goals and then evaluated whether these responsiveness ratings were predictive of treatment outcome.
Suzanne Gassner, who has written a series of clinical and formal research papers on control-mastery theory, will discuss Breger and Silbserschatz's papers. Throughout the day there will be ample time for audience participation. At the end of the afternoon program, a panel of Breger, Silberschatz and Gassner will further discuss the day's papers with the audience and the pros and cons of these two investigatory approaches to the study of psychotherapy outcome.
