Article Abstract

A five-year evaluative research project regarding an innovation in psychoanalytic training within institutes of the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) was conducted through the Committee on Child and Adolescent Analysis (COCAA) of its Board on Professional Standards, which led to significant policy changes within APsaA's Principles and Standards of Education. Eleven candidates at four different institutes (Columbia, Denver, Houston-Galveston, and St. Louis) entered a pilot training program for child and adolescent analysis without the requirement of adult training. Satisfaction with training and supervision in these programs was rated high by candidates, faculty, and program directors, with additional flexibility for child analytic training seen as an advantage. The limitations and implications of this implementation study are discussed, including its encouragement of educational evaluation and further research.

However, treatment selection often relies on availability and trial-and-error, prolonging suffering and increasing costs. Personalised prediction models could help identify individuals benefiting most from specific DTx.

Jungian psychotherapy (JP) is an established treatment modality in modern healthcare systems, yet empirical validation remains a key requirement for its continued recognition and insurance coverage. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of JP by evaluating pre- and post-treatment changes in psychological symptoms, personality structure, and quality of life among 104 participants undergoing supervised therapy at a German training institute. Using a pre-post design, participants completed standardized psychometric assessments, including the International Classification of Diseases - 10th Revision (ICD-10) Symptom Rating (ISR), the Fragebogen zur Lebenszufriedenheit (FLZ; Life Satisfaction Questionnaire), and the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis - Structure Questionnaire (OPD-SQ), before and after therapy.

Objective: A "Goldilocks" effect is when "just right" conditions are present for a phenomenon to occur. In psychotherapy research, the Goldilocks effect is when moderate intervention levels (not very low or high) correlate with more improvement than very high or very low levels. Finding curvilinear relations requires the wider range of what a specific intervention can take, which can be seen when examining technique and outcome across different treatments rather than within a single therapy orientation.

This article examines the ambivalent role of the contemporary university in the face of rising authoritarianism. While universities are commonly perceived as bastions of humanism, committed to ideals such as freedom, critical inquiry, and Bildung, this optimistic view may obscure the fact that authoritarian dynamics can persist within the institution itself. Rather than labeling the university as an inherently authoritarian institution, the article argues that it constitutes a social field in which authoritarian tendencies may emerge and take effect-often in subtle and structurally embedded forms.
