Functional analysis and treatment of aggressive behavior following resection of a craniopharyngioma.   Dev Med Child Neurol, 53(4): 369-74.

Craniopharyngioma is a relatively rare, benign tumor that most often affects pre-adolescent children. Surgical resection is a common form of treatment, which may result in adverse physical, neurological, and behavioral effects, most notably, aggressive behavior. In this case study we describe a typically developing 6 year old female who had resection of a craniopharyngioma and subsequently developed severe aggressive behavior that interfered significantly with her recovery and functioning. ...

Negative symptoms and poor insight as predictors of the similarity between client and therapist ratings of therapeutic alliance in cognitive behavior therapy for patients with schizophrenia.   J Nerv Ment Dis, 199(3): 191-5.

Recent studies have found that clients with schizophrenia rate therapeutic alliance more highly than therapists. Unclear is whether there are clinical characteristics which predict the degree of difference in client and therapist ratings. To explore this, we correlated client and therapist ratings of therapeutic alliance with baseline assessments of positive negative, and disorganized symptoms and awareness of need for treatment. Participants were 40 adults with schizophrenia enrolled in a ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Psychotherapy versus second-generation antidepressants in the treatment of depression: a meta-analysis.   J Nerv Ment Dis, 199(3): 142-9.

Most meta-analyses have concluded that psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy yield roughly similar efficacy in the short-term treatment of depression, with psychotherapy showing some advantage at long-term follow-up. However, a recent meta-analysis found that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors medications were superior to psychotherapy in the short-term treatment of depression. To incorporate results of several recent trials into the meta-analytic literature, we conducted a meta-analysis of ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Neuroscience of behavioral and pharmacological treatments for addictions.   Neuron, 69(4): 695-712.

Although substantial advances have been made in behavioral and pharmacological treatments for addictions, moving treatment development to the next stage may require novel ways of approaching addictions, particularly ways based on new findings regarding the neurobiological underpinnings of addictions that also assimilate and incorporate relevant information from earlier approaches. In this review, we first briefly review theoretical and biological models of addiction and then describe existing ... [Abstract] [Full-text]
