Common Language for Psychotherapy

sbm — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 19:28:41 +0000

The absence of a common language for psychotherapy procedures leads different therapists to use different terms to describe the same procedure and/or the same term to describe different procedures. This often confuses professionals and clients. The EABCT and AABT therefore set up a joint Task Force to work towards a common language that is internationally accepted. The Task Force aims to develop a dictionary of psychotherapy procedures which can serve as a reference guide to encourage therapists from different schools to use the same terminology to describe the procedures they employ in their clinical practice. A common language would reduce confusion and facilitate the progress of psychotherapy towards becoming a science. It will focus on terms for procedures, not theory, while recognising that procedure and theory can be hard to unravel. It will briefly describe terms for a broad range of psychotherapy procedures in plain language. Each entry will describe WHAT therapists do, not why they do it (+)

“Practice Parameters” de l’AACAP

sbm — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 21:13:32 +0000

L’AACAP és probablement l’associació mèdica professional més rellevant en psiquiatria infantojuvenil:

The AACAP (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) is the leading national professional medical association dedicated to treating and improving the quality of life for children, adolescents, and families affected by these disorders.

The AACAP, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was established in 1953. It is a membership based organization, composed of over 7,500 child and adolescent psychiatrists and other interested physicians. Its members actively research, evaluate, diagnose, and treat psychiatric disorders and pride themselves on giving direction to and responding quickly to new developments in addressing the health care needs of children and their families.

Entre els seus treballs més rellevants estan el “Practice Parameters“. Aquests paràmetres no pretenen, com podreu llegir més avall, ser cap guia absoluta de l’activitat professional amb infants amb trastorns psicopatològiques, de tota manera en general són acceptats com elements claus de la bona praxis professional. Per cadascún dels trastorns s’expliciten les bones pràctiques en avaluació/diagnòstic i tractament, i realment són una referència clau en psiquiatria infantil i psicologia clínica.

Nota: APA (American Psychiatry Association) guidelines describe treatment of adult patients. For the treatment of children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders, practice parameters are available from the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

The AACAP Practice Parameters are designed to assist clinicians in providing high quality assessment and treatment that is consistent with the best available scientific evidence and clinical consensus. The Practice Parameters describe generally accepted practices, but are not intended to define a standard of care, nor should they be deemed inclusive of all proper methods of care or exclusive of other legitimate methods of care directed at obtaining the desired results. The ultimate judgment regarding the care of a patient and family must be made by the clinician in light of all of the clinical evidence presented by the patient and family, the diagnostic and treatment options available, and available resources
