Does an emotion ‐focused two‐chair dialogue add to the therapeutic effect of the empathic attunement to affect?
Abstract An increasing amount of research suggests that it is beneficial to work explicitly with emotions in psychotherapy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of such an intervention on therapeutic outcome. The intervention, a two‐chair dialogue drawn from emotion‐focused therapy, was added to the treatment conditions that consisted of empathically following the clients' emotional processes. The treatment comprised 2 phases. Using a mul...

How does routinely delivered cognitive –behavioural therapy for gambling disorder compare to “gold standard” clinical trial?
Abstract Currently, it is unknown whether treatment outcomes derived from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) for problem gamblers still hold when applied to patients seen in routine practice. Thus, data from an RCT of cognitive therapy versus exposure therapy for problem gambling versus patients of a gambling help service were compared. Assessments of problem gambling severity, psychosocial impairment, and alcohol use were undertaken at baseline and post‐treatment and evaluated within a counterfactual framework. Findings showed that the contrast between routine CBT for pokies and...
