Group Therapy - Science topic

Support group

Therapy

I am conducting a study testing the effectiveness of a kind of group psychotherapy. There are 10 participants in my experimental group and 14 participants in my control group. At first, I planned random assignment to the groups, but because of the time of the group therapy, 14 of the participants wanted to be in the waitlist control group. After I created the control group, I run a t test to compare two groups in terms of some study variables. When I did a t test, I saw that there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the study variables. In summary, the groups have similar characteristics (e.g. Age, educational level, romantic relationship status, mean scores of the participants). However, group sizes are different. Can I do my analysis with 10 people in the experimental group and 14 people in the control group? If no, how do I remove the 4 people in the control group?

Currently, I am conducting a meta-analysis on schema group therapy (PROSPERO record ID 117096). There will be no language restrictions on the search of articles as long as study method, analyses and results can be provided in English, German or Dutch. Studies should include some form of control condition, while the quality of the study design (e.g. open label trial, RCT) will be controlled for.

To be able to include as much studies as possible I am reaching out to you for some help, which you can hopefully provide.

1. Are you aware of studies which will be published in the next couple of months-before the end of 2023?

2. Are you aware of studies which have not been published in a scientific journal (e.g. dissertations)?

3. Are you aware of non-published studies as there were non-findings for example.

I would greatly appreciate your help in finding as many studies as possible as I would like to include as many articles as possible and to address the file-drawer problem as best as I can.

Sending an e-mail to mf.vanvreeswijk@g-kracht.com with as much information as you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help in advance,

With kind regards,

For a research

The idea would be to pass this questionnaire within a group therapy intervention.

I'm searching this questionnaire in French.

Hello,

My team has planned to diagnostically follow one psychotherapy group with questionnaires.

I wanted to use the TFI (therapeutic factors inventory) to analyze therapeutic factors based on their development by Irvin Yalom.

Is there another questionnaire that would cover the group therapy approach?

In the Mental Health Department of the Navarre Public Health Service a Group Therapy Unit has been recently created (August 2018). We are gathering information about management, cost-effectiveness and clinical efficacy, but we would like to know if there are other similar experiences around the world.

We do know that group therapy is a common service provided by mental health departments, but always within wider inpatient or outpatient units that also provide other treatments.

Our inquiry is if there are other specific Group Therapy Units that specialize in providing only group format interventions.

We are interested in sharing data, management indicators identified, clinical and process variables assessed etc.

What is an acceptable instrument to measure anxiety and or depression in adult males who have experienced sexual abuse during childhood ?

I want an interview or screening tool specifically normed for adult males that were victims of sexual abuse as children.

The purpose of the screening is for group therapy of this population.

As a P.T., focused and interested on orthopedics (such as, back, knee, shoulder, etc., pain and dysfunctions), my main concern is: how cognition and the capacity to search and obtain information, and convert it to knowledge, can affect our patients pain and rehabilitation, specially in low income areas?

Thinking about focusing on (regarding future researches):

- Health literacy

- Metacognition

- Information/knowledge sharing

- Group therapy intervention/prevention

Are those topics of interest? If "yes", which groups and researchers should i dig deeper to get the foundations?

Any suggestions are more than welcome

I am interested in measuring how well group psychotherapy clients rate their ability to listen and be present for other group members. Is anyone aware of a measure that helps capture this? I would like it to be able to capture perceptions of a session (e.g., "In last session, I was able to..."). Thanks!

I am co-editing a book about online therapy, with clusters about individual, family/couple, group therapy and organizational consultancy. If you know of articles or have written on these subjects, please write me.

if a crystals display inversion symmetry, how can its second order susceptibility be non-zero?

May be going to work at a city jail as a counselor and would love some papers to read on the subject.

I´d like to know something about strategies (personal or group therapies, drugs...)useful to treat efficiently the extreme fear many women feel to breast cancer. This fear or phobia of cancer can exist in family risk women but also in women with no higher risk. 

What practices and challenges need to be considered for multicultural group psychotherapy?

What group therapy (for batterers, mandated or self-selected) techniques and or interventions are widely used due to positive evidence based performance outcomes?

Evaluation of group therapy.

Individuative counseling is often necessary as a precursor to group therapy. Individuals may deeply ensconced in their cognitive impasse requiring methods to extract the inherent problems before they are ready for group counseling.

I am in search for publications that focus on the differences between group and individual therapy and appropriate ethical considerations. 

I would be grateful for any assistance you might provide.

Prior to joining this site, I have found a great deal of literature on suicide prevention work with adolescents in both individual and group formats. I am familiar with ACT and DBT and I'm curious about research specifically on suicide prevention for adults. The CBT-SP model (individual and supplementary group) seems modifiable to suit adults, so I wonder if there is some reason I'm not getting that keeps us from implementing CBT-SP on a wider scale. Many troubled adults feel very "held" by structure. Regardless, the issues that must be dealt with are likely to be harrowing, and group support and experiential insight could be exponentially effective for post-crisis individuals. Aside from cohesion, mindfulness and grounding, what would you do with such a group? How can you work with the group to take hope out of the dissociative realm and make positive or rational thinking feel more real?

Would anyone have experience running the Lewinsohn group therapy for depression in cohorts of depressed pregnant women? And if so did you modify the protocol in any way?

Particularly for minority groups. For example, would symptom reduction for an African American depend on the racial composition of the group?

At the moment I´m writing my bachelor thesis and I´m searching for articles or studies which describe how to design a therapy group? How many people, group types, group dynamics, setting, environment, duration of the therapy intervention, etc. It can also be articles about group therapy in other areas. I don´t know which keywords I should use for my search.

I want to create a group for families /parents of obese children. I am particularly interested in curricula that are in development or have been created for this type of group. If there is a possibility of joining a group that is doing research on this issue. I would love to be involved in the data acquisition phase.
