What are their values and concerns? What is their relationship with technology? What experiences helped shape their relationship with technology? • What do they like and dislike? • What could we, as helpers, usefully bear in mind about different generations? • • • • Generations Baby Boomers Silent Generation 1937 - 1945 68 - 76 G I Generation Before 1936 77 + 11 Age (Years) 49 - 67 Generation ‘X’ 37 - 48 Generation ‘Y’ 20 - 36 Generation ‘Z’ Less than 19 12 Who does What? http://www.statista.com/topics/840/smartphones/chart/1489/the-generational-divide-in-cell-phone-use/ Steve Cottrell 2 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 13 14 ‘Boomers’(49 - 67 years) • • • • • • • • • • • Generation ‘X’ (37 - 48 years) 80% are online, 30% own smartphones 60% lost assets in economic downturn The last generation to own a home on a single wage? 42% are delaying retirement, 25% say they'll never retire Witnessed the birth of the home PC ‘Loyal workaholics’ Relatively high disposable income Some ‘GUAVA’ - ‘Grown Up And Very Affluent’ Appreciate ‘lifestyle tech’ Appreciate 1:1 paradigm – e.g. Skype Govt, health and financial info: ‘Trusted sites’ • • • • • • • • • ‘A worldview based on change’ (Christine Henseler, 2012) Relatively high educational attainment ‘Manufacturing’ to ‘service’ economic change Witnessed the birth of the Internet Teens / young adults during Thatcher era (1979 – 1990) First ‘latch-key’ generation (working mothers) Independent, resourceful & self-sufficient Parental divorce & redundancy Grown with computers 15 16 Generation ‘Y’ (20 - 36 years) Generation ‘Z’ (19 years or less) The ‘Millennials’ 97% have a computer Technologically sophisticated Witnessed the birth of social media and Internet icons – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, YouTube, Google • Remember the ‘dot com bubble’ 1997 - 2000 • Dual income / single parent households • Decline of faith & religion • • • • • • • • • • • • Technologically agnostic The rise of the ‘smartphone’ Always ‘connected’, always ‘on’ Relatively low attention span Facebook, twitter and texting Private / public blurring Accessibility of FE options? Employment opportunities? 17 Trends in Internet Usage • The fastest growth in social networking is in people 74 and older, rising from 4% to 16% between 2008-2010 • Searching for health information is the third most popular online activity of users aged 18 and over • Blogging is reducing in popularity with younger people, being replaced by ‘micro-blogging’ (Facebook & Twitter) • 81% of adults reporting no chronic disease go online • 62% of adults living with one or more chronic disease go online • 52% of adults living with two or more chronic diseases go online • These trends apply when increasing age is controlled for 18 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) Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, April 29-May 30, 2010 Tracking Survey Steve Cottrell 3 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 19 20 Expectations Attrition 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’ • 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 • • • • Macdonald et al, 2007 * Randomised Control Trial 21 22 The Problem The Program • Anxiety disorders (GAD, Panic Disorder, Phobias, PTSD, Social Anxiety, OCD) • Depression • Others … • The need for support can vary by disorder • Software has ‘personality’ - users report a therapeutic alliance with CCBT programs (Ormrod et al, 2010) • People relate to both hardware and software • Human-computer interaction and ergonomics • Understanding of critical factors is in early stages – Anxiety can often benefit from minimally guided self-help – Depression 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 Behavioural change Interpersonal component Options to personalise Placebo / halo effect Generalisation 24 23 The Provider The Provider • 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) Steve Cottrell 4 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 Force Field Analysis Worksheet Driving Forces (+) Force Field Analysis - Exercise Restraining Forces (-) • What driving forces are taking you forward with computer-based approaches? • What restraining forces (barriers) are holding you back from using computer-based approaches in your work? • Take your list of restraining forces and identify in the box on the worksheet the actions you plan to take to reduce these restraining forces Actions to reduce the Restraining Forces • • • 27 28 29 30 COMMUNICATION TYPES Communication types Synchronous communication • Instant messaging e.g. Google Talk TM • Telephone • Virtual environments e.g. Second Life® • Video and audio links e.g. Skype TM Asynchronous communication • Email • Bulletin board • SMS (text messaging) Steve Cottrell Benefits of asynchronous communication • Fewer difficulties with managing an appointment time or working across different time zones • The convenience of replying when you're ready and able to reply • A ‘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 5 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 31 32 Challenges with asynchronous communication (1) Challenges with asynchronous communication (2) • 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-mails • There may be a reduced feeling of ‘presence’ because the participant and helper are not working together in the same moment • Some of the spontaneity of interacting ‘in the moment’ is lost, along with what spontaneous actions can communicate about a person • There may be some loss of the sense of commitment that meeting ‘in the moment’ can create • Pauses 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 33 34 Challenges with synchronous communication Benefits of synchronous communication • The ability to schedule sessions defined by a specific, limited period of time & the boundaries implicit in an appointment • A feeling of ‘presence’ created in real time • Interactions may show more spontaneity, resulting in more uncensored disclosures by the participant • Making the effort to be with the person for a specific appointment may be seen as a sign of commitment and dedication • Pauses in the conversation, coming late to a session and ‘noshows’ are not lost as temporal cues that may have psychological meanings • The difficulties and inconvenience in scheduling a session at a particular time, especially if the participant and helper are in different time zones • There may be less ‘reflective space’ - the time between exchanges to think and compose a considered response • In 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 (Adapted from http://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/therapy.html accessed 01-12-12) 35 36 Beginnings The first stage in delivering a computer mediated approach is information gathering. Some questions we may want to consider are: THE RELATIONSHIP Steve Cottrell • • • • 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? 6 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 37 38 The Contract Clarifying the Boundaries The contract defines at least two important aspect of the relationship: 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? • • • • • The ‘business’ contract – defines the frequency of meetings, duration, payment etc. • The ‘therapy’ contract – helps define a focus and goals for the intervention • During initial contact, or early in the relationship, several activities are often helpful … 39 40 Clarifying the Purpose Claude Steiner – 4 Requirements (1974) 1. Mutual consent - involves an offer and an acceptance arrived at by negotiation 2. Consideration - includes the benefits conferred, which may be bargained for and that are agreed upon. Each puts something of value into the relationship 3. Competency - both parties will be competent to carry out what has been agreed upon in the contract 4. Lawful 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) • 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 42 Expectations • What does the helper expect from the participant? • • • • • Punctuality? Clear goals? Demonstrable commitment? Work outside sessions? What else? Steve Cottrell A Multiplicity of Relationships • • • • • The working alliance The transference relationship The reparative, or ‘developmentally-needed’ relationship The person-to-person relationship The transpersonal relationship 7 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 43 The Working Alliance (1 of 2) 44 The Working Alliance (2 of 2) • The working alliance is the fundamental bond between helper and participant • The alliance develops within the framework of a clear business contract • Helpers support the development of the alliance by using active listening skills and by modelling a collaborative relationship Bordin (1979) proposes three essential aspects of the working alliance • The collaborative setting of goals • The joint agreement on tasks • The development of a human relationship or bond 45 ZPD 46 The Transference Relationship 1 • 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 • 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 47 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) Steve Cottrell 48 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 person • A 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 relationships • All relationships will be influenced by transference phenomena, those of helpers and participants alike 8 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 49 Transference – Types 2 50 Transference - Clarkson • 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 relationship • In the presence of intense transference, longer term psychological therapy may be required 1. Proactive transference: What the participant brings to the relationship / the participant’s projections of past experiences onto the helper 2. Proactive countertransference: What the helper brings to the relationship / the helper’s transference towards the participant 3. Reactive transference: What the participant reacts to because of what the helper brings to the relationship 4. Reactive countertransference: What the helper reacts because of what the participant brings to the relationship 51 The Reparative Relationship 52 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: Missing elements, which may be provided in the reparative relationship, identified by Clarkson (1995, p235) as: • Containment • Witness • Care – 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) 53 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-toperson relating as a desirable goal of psychological therapy • Authenticity means being true to one's own personality, spirit, or character (Miriam-Webster, 2012) Steve Cottrell 54 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) 9 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 55 The Person-to-Person Relationship 56 The Transpersonal Relationship 1 • 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 relationship • To 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 • 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’ 57 58 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 CUES AND DYNAMICS 59 60 Non-Proximal Therapy A Hierarchy of Cues • Psychological therapy provided without being in the same room as the participant (non-proximal therapy) brings unique challenges • The fewer the cues there are about the emotional state of the participants, the more challenges there may be • Generally, 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 • 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 Steve Cottrell 1 Face-to-face interaction 2 Holographic or virtual reality 3 Video link 4 Telephone 5 Shared virtual environments 6 Instant messaging 7 Email 8 Letter More cues Fewer cues 10 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 61 62 Projection – ‘Filling In’ Perceptual Gaps Transference to the Machine 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 • Some people see computers as helpful, they may view their smartphones, tablet computers or personal devices as personal, important and intimately their own • Others 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 63 Four-cornered Contracts • In 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 64 Disintegration and Primitive Processes A T H P • 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 damaged • Non-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 65 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 welldocumented adverse events, for example the encouragement of online suicide and the pathology of ‘thinspiration’ sites • The occurrence of ‘flame wars’ exhibit primitive splitting and denigration – what may be termed ‘the cruelty of crowds’ Steve Cottrell 66 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 scrutinised • The 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 11 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 67 Identity Issues 68 Identity Issues • 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 email • It is relatively trivial for people to impersonate others in an email exchange (‘spoofing’) and a serious breach of confidentiality can ensue • 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 69 70 Bystander Apathy Bystander Apathy • ‘Bystander apathy’ is a term coined after the murder of Kitty Genovese in New York in 1964 • Kitty 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 • Investigation revealed that about a dozen individuals nearby had heard or seen at least some part of the attack • Kitty’s death prompted research into ‘bystander apathy’ – the idea that someone else will do something about a situation, leading to abdication of personal responsibility • Responsibility 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 71 72 William Melchert-Dinkel William Melchert-Dinkel • William Melchert-Dinkel, 49, of Faribault, USA was convicted in 2011 of two counts of aiding suicide • Melchert-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 • 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 themselves • He told police he did it for the ‘thrill of the chase’ Steve Cottrell 12 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 73 Anonymity, Immediacy and Disclosure 74 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 interactions • This may be facilitated by anonymity, by positive transference and by the disinhibition afforded by the wearing of the electronic equivalent of a mask • 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 75 John Suler – ‘Six Characteristics’ • John Suler (2004) has written about six characteristics of the Internet which can lead to change in behaviour: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. JOHN SULER: SIX CHARACTERISTICS You don’t know me You can’t see me See you later It’s all in my head It’s just a game We’re all equal http://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/psycyber.html 77 78 Dissociative Anonymity Invisibility • 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 • You can’t see me … • Allows for misrepresentation of the self e.g. male posing as female & vice versa • Invisibility 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 Steve Cottrell 13 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 79 Asynchronicity 80 Solipsistic Introjection • See you later … • Asynchronicity – face-to-face we receive rapid feedback about the effects our words are having • Without 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 • 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 81 82 Dissociative Imagination Neutralising Status • 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 trace • It 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 • 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 screen • There 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’ 83 Telepresence 84 Mirroring • Telepresence - the experience of being fully present at a live real-world location remote from one's own physical location • Screen size and ‘immersive experience’ • We don’t see ourselves as operating a telephone … • The more ‘invisible’ the technology, the more immersive the experience • Potential for remote emotional work? Robonaut 2 Steve Cottrell 14 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 85 86 86 87 88 Mirroring • Say ‘hello’ without raising the eyebrows • Mirror postures 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 • • • • INTERVENTION PRIORITY SEQUENCING 89 Danger • The conscious or unconscious preoccupation of the system is with survival issues. These will often make work with other themes ineffective • Issues concerning homicide, suicide, psychosis, risk to others and ethical concerns almost always need to be dealt with first • People 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 Steve Cottrell 90 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 relationships • Engaging in conflict resolution when the system is unclear about the nature, consequences and significance of conflict is often a waste of time and effort 15 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 91 92 Conflict Deficit • 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 behaviour • Issues to do with replenishment, knowledge or skills deficits are most likely to be effective if the previous stages have been cleared • Priorities when meeting a deficit are first to establish what people already have as resources, skills, training, and options • For 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 – Working too hard with high blood pressure, while being reluctant to sacrifice what is felt as the adrenaline rush of work – Knowing that exercise will help depression, yet feeling too low to exercise 93 94 Development Reflective Competence • Increasing complexity, effectiveness, capacity and the range and flexibility of understandings, sensibilities & behaviour • The 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 research • When 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.

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*’ • ‘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’ * Treatment as usual Serenity Programme 2013 Steve Cottrell Serenity Programme 2013 19 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 115 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 NHS is unable … to provide CBT services to 75% of the patients who require CBT treatment and who are in hospital.’ Serenity Programme 2013 Steve Cottrell 120 Ultrasis • ‘The revised document is, in general, an accurate reflection of the evidence base for CCBT and will stimulate appropriate and informed provision of the technology in the NHS and beyond’ Serenity Programme 2013 20 Serenity Programme - serene.me.uk 02/02/2014 121 122 Updates Research Recommendations 1 of 3 • Recommendations in TA97 relating to the treatment of depression have been replaced by recommendations in the two depression clinical guidelines (CG90 & CG91, and in CG123 in 2011) • Recommendations relating to the treatment of anxiety disorders been replaced by entries in the GAD & Panic Disorder guideline (CG113) in 2011, and the Social Anxiety guideline (CG159) in 2013 • The clinical and cost effectiveness of two CBT-based lowintensity interventions (CCBT and guided bibliotherapy) compared with a waiting-list control for the treatment of GAD and Panic Disorder Serenity Programme 2013 Serenity Programme 2013 123 124 Research recommendations 2 of 3 Research recommendations 3 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 ** • Pragmatic RCTs for CCBT packages in a stepped-care programme • Comparisons of CCBT with other self-help comparators e.g. bibliotherapy and exercise • Comparisons of CCBT with placebo • Comparisons of CCBT with brief and longer duration TCBT* as well as group TCBT • Head-to-head trials between the packages for depression * Intention-to-treat ** Quality adjusted life-year * Therapist-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Serenity Programme 2013 Serenity Programme 2013 125 126 Thanks for Listening!
