Objective: This naturalistic study examines the long-term effectiveness of two psychoanalytically oriented therapies-psychodynamic psychotherapy (PP) and analytical psychotherapy (AP)-in routine care settings in Germany.
Method: A total of 428 patients diagnosed with various mental disorders according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, underwent treatment with either PP or AP. Diagnoses were reassessed at the end of treatment, and patients provided annual self-reports of their mental health over a 6-year period. We employed propensity score methods and piecewise linear latent growth curve models to estimate treatment effects on primary outcomes (i.e., number of diagnoses, symptom distress) and secondary outcomes (i.e., personality dysfunction, interpersonal problems, general life satisfaction).
Results: Patients exhibited substantial and sustained improvements across all outcomes in both treatments. Notably, those receiving AP experienced greater (long-term) improvement in primary and most secondary outcomes compared to those in PP. Improvements in PP primarily occurred during the 1st year, while AP patients continued to show progress throughout the entire observation period. For some outcomes (symptom distress, personality dysfunction, and interpersonal problems), AP was particularly effective for patients with more severe problems at baseline.
Conclusions: Psychoanalytically oriented treatments in routine care are associated with substantial and lasting improvements, even posttreatment. Our findings highlight an incremental benefit of AP over PP, particularly for complex cases. Future research should explore treatment mechanisms, cost-effectiveness, and implications for health policy.
This paper investigates the impact of public financial control on cultural policy, a relationship often assumed but understudied. Focusing on Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany (1993-2011), it examines how financial oversight by the regional Court of Auditors (LRH MV) influenced justifications for theatre and orchestra policy. Building on the idea that auditing shapes its subjects, the study analyzes how decision-makers adapted their arguments in response to LRH MV observations.
Using interpretive policy research and argumentation theory, the study analyzes 96 documents, including LRH MV reports. Findings reveal the LRH MV’s indirect but decisive role, with governments aligning arguments with the Court’s recommendations. The LRH MV acted not only as a supervisor but also as a knowledge producer, providing frameworks for reform. This demonstrates how financial oversight shapes cultural policy, contributing to cultural economics and offering insights into arts sector governance. The methodology proves robust for assessing the broader implications of financial control.
Finding evocative and sensitive digital representations for cultural heritage collections requires careful implementation and collaboration, encompassing data modeling, cataloging, ideation and prototyping. In this article, we present design-oriented research focused on visualizing a photo archive about the Jewish diaspora. Our aim is to create a web platform that offers multiple exploratory and narrative experiences. We reflect on our approach, which involves both digital and analog methods, emphasizing the affordances of visual cultural heritage and the unique characteristics of a Jewish heritage collection.
