Comments will be brief and opinionated and not the last word and anyone interested in contributing their views on papers in these or other journals should feel free to do so. If you are prepared to provide regular reviews of other journals please get in touch Tony Ryle (rylecat@aol.com)

  • Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Vol.11 number 1 (2004) An issue devoted to emotion. Whelton (Emotional processes in Psychotherapy: evidence across therapeutic modalities ,pp5871) offers a useful summary of the field. His conclusion: Emotion is in, catharsis is out, expression is good and avoidance is bad, clients who ‘process information in an experiential manner’ do well and engagement and arousal must be linked with cognitive reflection.
  • British Journal of Psychiatry 184, 101103 (2004) Leon Eisenberg. Social Psychiatry and the human genome: contextualising heritability. An updated brief review of the hyphen in naturenurture concluding ‘Genes set the boundaries of the possible; environments parse out the actual’.
  • Psychotherapy Research 13,3,271292 (2003) Per Hogland. Longterm effects of brief dynamic therapy. A review and research report. Conclusions point to the need for longer therapy for personality disorders and the negative effects of frequent transference interpretations; the latter ‘ ought to be based on reasonably firm clinical evidence’. Quite so. The conclusions are tentative and some are not in accordance with (and maybe are not relevant to) CAT practice but many relevant clinical and research issues are raised.
  • Three linked papers, authors mostly from Rome Centre for cognitive psychotherapy:
    Psychology and Psychotherapy 76,4,385410.(2003) Dimaggio et al. Dialogical relationships in impoverished narratives: from theory to clinical practice.
    Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, 10,238261 (2003) Semarari et al. How to evaluate metacognitive functioning in Psychotherapy? The metacognitive assessment scale and its applications.
    Psychotherapy Research 13 3 337353 (2003) Semarari et al. Assessing problematic states in patients’ narratives.
  • There are many parallel influences on the work of this Rome group and CAT (eg Horowitz and Kelly). While a big advance on the CBT we know in the UK I believe they need the reciprocal role, dialogic and structural understandings of CAT to liberate them from cognitivist and skillbased explanations ( but visits and conversations have not persuaded them!). The papers deserve careful reading.
  • Psychotherapy Research 1312542 (2003) D.A.Winter. Repertory Grid technique as a psychotherapy research measure. Grid studies played a part in the origin and development of CAT and more use is now being made of them (see John Bristow’s account in the Spring 2004 Reformulation). Winter discusses critically and usefully many of the research uses but does not mention the dyad grid which has contributed most to CAT, or any other post1990 CAT work such as the measurement of transference countertransference changes and the states grid of borderline structure.
  • Psychiatric Bulletin 27401403 P.Snowden and E.Kane. Personality disorder: no longer a diagnosis of exclusion. A brief account of the publication with that title ( NIMH (E) (2003)). Describes the current patchy provision of services and outlines the need for, and possibilities of, developing services for this poorly served group.
  • Brirtish Journal of Psychotherapy 19 4 447464 Rozsika Parker. Body hatred. A sensitive psychoanalytic account of the shame and secrecy associated with perceived body hatred and of the cultural factors with which it is associated.
