The effectiveness of strength-based, solution-focused brief therapy in medical settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

This meta-analysis synthesized randomized controlled trials of solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) in medical settings for patients' health-related psychosocial (e.g., depression, psychosocial adjustment to illness), behavioral (e.g., physical activity, nutrition score), and functional health (e.g., BMI, individual strength) outcomes. Medical setting is defined in this study as any healthcare setting that primarily focuses on patients' physical wellbeing. A comprehensive search strategy across five electronic databases, four academic journals, three professional websites, and reference lists of included articles resulted in a final sample of nine studies for meta-analytic synthesis. Combining outcomes indicated an overall significant effect of SFBT for health-related psychosocial outcomes (d=0.34, p<.05.) and a nearly significant outcome for health-related behavioral outcomes (d=0.28, p=.06), but not for functional health outcomes. Results indicated SFBT being an effective intervention for psychosocial outcomes and a promising approach for behavioral outcomes in medical settings.

Thematic review of family therapy journals in 2013

In this article the contents of the principal English‐language family therapy journals and key family therapy articles published in other journals in 2013 are reviewed under these headings: models of family therapy, developments in family therapy practice, couple therapy, training, diversity, international developments, research and DSM‐5.Practitioner points Ecosystemic structural family therapy, FFT, MST, MDFT and other traditional systemic approaches, with recent adaptations, may be helpful for an increasing range of populations. Developments in research and practice support the value of father involvement in systemic therapy, conducting family therapy in medical settings and using family therapy to treat adolescent eating disorders. The integration of mindfulness into couple therapy, and new approaches to addressing infidelity are important developments to consider in treating couples.

Music & Medicine: The Development of an Integrative Approach to the Application of Music and Music Therapy in Medical Settings

Clinical practice, research & training are three critical aspects of program development in the establishment of music and medicine in hospital settings. Since 1994, the Louis Armstrong Center for Music & Medicine has been developing clinical care strategies that have fostered programs internationally in support of integrative medical practices. This article will highlight the development of that growth; from a one unit service to an inner city center for infants, children and adults of varying needs and diagnoses.

It is a companion text that readers will find useful in many different ways because it provides an up-to-date review of content areas and excellent suggestions for additional reading.The book is divided into eight different sections with a total of 31 chapters. The sections cover topics related to the history of family therapy, family evaluation, treatment approaches, couples therapy, psychiatric disorders and family therapy, indicators for family therapy and outcome data, family therapy in medical settings, and professional and ethical issues. Each chapter starts with well-formulated reader objectives, which contributes to time-efficient reading and active processing of the material. There are specific chapters and references on issues related to ethnicity, gender, race, and culture as well as guidelines for being sensitive to the diversity of family life. The major theoretical models of family therapy are presented in a clear and systematic way. Well-formulated guidelines are provided for best practices when engaging families, planning treatment, and dealing with specialized areas such as violence, loss, and chronic mental illness.The fourth edition of Marital and Family Therapy is an attractive and user-friendly text. The book is filled with useful summaries, tables, and graphs for quick referencing and easy access to information. It also provides a succinct and integrated view of the complex biopsychosocial continuum related to patient, context, and family. The strong interdisciplinary appeal of the book makes it an ideal text for training programs where the goal is to help students develop core competencies in marital and family therapy. The experienced family clinician may find some of the chapters too brief. However, the authors undoubtedly succeed in their goal of creating a “basic, but comprehensive textbook for individuals at different training levels and orientations” (p. xlvii).We recommend the book highly for all mental health professionals and students in the mental health professions. It is especially useful for those individuals whose primary interests are in marital and family therapy.By Ira D. Glick, M.D., Ellen M. Berman, M.D., John F. Clarkin, Ph.D., and Douglas S.
