"This study examined rates of improvement in psychotherapy as a function of the number of sessions attended. The clients (N=1,868; 73.1% female; 92.4% White; average age=40), who were seen for a variety of problems in routine primary care mental health practices, attended 1 to 12 sessions, had planned endings, and completed the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) at the beginning and end of their treatment. The percentage of clients achieving reliable and clinically significant improvement (RCSI) on the CORE-OM did not increase with number of sessions attended. Among clients who began treatment above the CORE-OM clinical cutoff (n=1,472), the RCSI rate ranged from 88% for clients who attended 1 session down to 62% for clients who attended 12 sessions (r=-.91). Previously reported negatively accelerating aggregate curves may reflect progressive ending of treatment by clients who had achieved a good enough level of improvement."

"Evaluated the effectiveness of juvenile drug court for 161 juvenile offenders meeting diagnostic criteria for substance abuse or dependence and determined whether the integration of evidence-based practices enhanced the outcomes of juvenile drug court. Over a 1-year period, a four-condition randomized design evaluated outcomes for family court with usual community services, drug court with usual community services, drug court with multisystemic therapy, and drug court with multisystemic therapy enhanced with contingency management for adolescent substance use, criminal behavior, symptomatology, and days in out-of-home placement. In general, findings supported the view that drug court was more effective than family court services in decreasing rates of adolescent substance use and criminal behavior. Possibly due to the greatly increased surveillance of youths in drug court, however, these relative reductions in antisocial behavior did not translate to corresponding decreases in rearrest or incarceration. In addition, findings supported the view that the use of evidence-based treatments within the drug court context improved youth substance-related outcomes. Clinical and policy implications of these findings are discussed."

"The mediator role of response expectancies and the moderator role of hypnotic suggestibility were evaluated in the analogue treatment of pain. Approximately 1,000 participants were assessed for hypnotic suggestibility. Later, as part of a seemingly unrelated experiment, 188 of these individuals were randomly assigned to distraction, cognitive-behavioral package, hypnotic cognitive-behavioral package, hypnotic analgesia suggestion, placebo control, or no-treatment control conditions. Response expectancies partially mediated the effects of treatment on pain. Hypnotic suggestibility moderated treatment and was associated with the relief produced only by the hypnotic interventions. The results suggest that response expectancies are an important mechanism of hypnotic and cognitive-behavioral pain treatments and that hypnotic suggestibility is a trait variable that predicts hypnotic responding across situations, including hypnosis-based pain interventions."

"Contingency management (CM) interventions usually reinforce submission of drug-negative specimens, but they can also reinforce adherence with goal-related activities. This study compared the efficacy of the 2 approaches. Substance-abusing outpatients (N = 131) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 12-week treatments: standard treatment (ST), ST with CM for submitting negative urine toxicology screens, or ST with CM for completing goal-related activities. CM patients remained in treatment longer and achieved more abstinence than ST patients, but the CM condition that reinforced submission of negative samples resulted in better outcomes than the CM condition that reinforced goal-related activities. Abstinence at 6- and 9-month follow-ups did not differ by group, but longest duration of abstinence achieved during treatment was associated with abstinence posttreatment."

"Kecemasan merupakan pengalaman manusia yang universal akibat ketidakpastian dan ketidakberdayaan perasaan yang bersumber dari pikiran yang tidak jelas dan tidak teridentifikasi. Kecemasan dimanifestasikan dengan respon fisiologis, afektif, perilaku, dan kognitif. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui tingkat kecemasan keluarga pasien di ruang ICU. Desain penelitian menggunakan deskriptif dengan jumlah sampel penelitian 36 responden. Hasil penelitian tingkat kecemasan keluarga pasien di ruang ICU RSUD Cibinong termasuk sedang (77,8%). Respon keluarga dalam menghadapi anggota keluarganya di ruang ICU masih dalam rentang adaptif. Perawat perlu menggunakan komunikasi terapeutik untuk menurunkan tingkat kecemasan keluarga pasien di ICU.

Anxiety is a universal experience due to the feeling of uncertainty and helplessness that comes from thoughts that cannot identified clearly. Anxiety is manifested by physiological, cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses. This study aimed to determine the level of anxiety in the family who's their family member was cared in the ICU. Research design was simple descriptive and total sample was 36 respondents.

The results showed that the level of anxiety in the family of patient's cared in Intensive Care Unit, District Hospital of Cibinong was moderate (77.8%). The family also responded in the range of adaptive behavior during the care of their family member in the ICU. Nurses need to use therapeutic communication to decrease the anxiety level of family of patients cared in the ICU."

"The authors used structural equation modeling to investigate universal change processes identified in the generic model of psychotherapy (GMP). Three path models of increasing complexity were examined in Study 1 in dynamic therapy. The best fitting model from Study 1 was replicated in Study 2 for participants receiving either cognitive or interpersonal therapy. Findings provided support for the universality of the GMP constructs in different types of therapy. Positive influences for therapeutic bond, openness, and realizations were observed, as was a surprising negative impact for one aspect of bond. Discussion highlights a complex conception of the therapy relationship that underscores the importance of investigating the multiple functions that the therapy relationship might serve in different psychotherapies."

"The authors examined the parent-therapist alliance in parent management training for children (N = 218; 53 girls and 165 boys, ages 2-14) referred clinically for oppositional, aggressive, and antisocial behavior. The interrelations of pretreatment parent social relationships, the parent-therapist alliance over the course of treatment, and improvements in parenting practices at the end of treatment were evaluated by different raters. As expected, the better the quality of the parent-therapist alliance, the greater the improvements in parenting practices by the end of treatment. Social relations of the parents prior to treatment were associated with the parent-therapist alliance during treatment and parental improvements at the end of treatment. The relation between the therapeutic alliance and improvement in parenting practices was partially explained by pretreatment parent social relations."

"Putative ethnic group differences in various forms of psychopathology may have important theoretical, clinical, and policy implications. Recently, it has been argued that individuals of African descent are more likely to be psychopathic than those of European descent (R. Lynn, 2002). Preliminary evidence from the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (A. Forth, D. Kosson, & R. Hare, 2003) offers some support for this contention, with Black youths rated as moderately higher (Cohen's d = .61) than White youths in a large institutional sample (n = 945). To examine this issue more exhaustively, the authors meta-analyzed adolescent psychopathy data from several studies (combined N = 2,199) and obtained a much smaller mean difference (dw = .20, p = .03), although considerable heterogeneity was evident among the effect sizes."

"Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara self-regulation dan self-esteem pada mahasiswa psikologi jenjang sarjana. Self-regulation merupakan kemampuan seseorang dalam mengarahkan tingkah lakunya untuk mencapai hasil yang diinginkan di masa mendatang (Carey, Neal, dan Collins, 2004). Sedangkan self-esteem adalah sikap seseorang terhadap dirinya, baik positif maupun negatif, secara keseluruhan (Rosenberg, dalam Mruk, 2006). Pengukuran self-regulation menggunakan alat ukur Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ) dan pengukuran self-esteem menggunakan alat ukur Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Penelitian ini melibatkan 179 responden yang merupakan mahasiswa jenjang sarjana reguler dan paralel Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Indonesia angkatan 2009, 2010, 2011, dan 2012. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara self-regulation dengan selfesteem pada mahasiswa psikologi jenjang sarjana (r = 0,519; p = 0.001). Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan pertimbangan bagi para pembuat kebijakan untuk lebih peka terhadap keadaan psikologis mahasiswa. Untuk penelitian lebih lanjut, perolehan data dapat dilengkapi dengan metode wawancara atau focus group discussion (FGD) untuk mengetahui gambaran yang lebih spesifik terkait self-regulation dan self-esteem mahasiswa.

This research is carried out to identify the relationship between self-regulation and self-esteem among undergraduate psychology students. Self-regulation is a person’s ability to direct behavior in order to achieve desired outcomes in the future (Carey, Neal, & Collins, 2004). Self-esteem is a positive or negative attitude toward the self of a person as a whole (Rosenberg, in Mruk, 2006). Selfregulation was measured by the adaptation version of Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ) and self-esteem was measured by Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Research participants were 179 undergraduate psychology students at Universitas Indonesia from years of 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

The results indicate a significant positive correlation between self-regulation and self-esteem among psychology undergraduate students (r = 0,519; p = 0.001). Results of this study might be taken as a consideration for the policymakers of the faculty to be more sensitive to the psychological state of the students. For further study, the data acquisition could be equipped with interviews or focus group discussion (FGD) to explore more specific overview about self-regulation and self-esteem of students."
