>> FAP Study at Uppsala University, graduate thesis
>>
>> After some thought and discussion with the people in charge of our
>> clinical supervision and the clinic here, I have been developing some
>> other thoughts with regard to the FAP study we were thinking of.
>>
>> Our original thought was to do a quasi experimental design with a FAP
>> and a control group (no randomiszatioin) of 16 student therapists, 8
>> of which would get the FAP training and we would study on video the
>> differences using the dependent measures we had recieved from Glenn
>> and Jonathan.
>>
>> The major problem with this was that we would have not been allowed
>> to randomise and we could only train JoAnnes students and not the
>> others which would present some serious confounding factors.I wont go
>> into the reasons why this was necessary.
>>
>> A new design which could solve these confounding problems and give a
>> much larger study with randomization is as follows:
>>
>> Research question: the same as before. Does an add on FAP traiining
>> done by graduate students to graduate students influence the
>> therapeutic relationship and the outcome of therapy as compared to no
>> training.
>>
>> Procedure: 24 last term graduate students (term 10) are offered to
>> participate in this study and take a client as under our
>> supervision. They enter the study knowing that they will be
>> randomized into a FAP training group or minimal cbt supervison. 24
>> clients are recruited either thru our own clinic or thru a newpaper
>> advertisement. Number of sessions of treatment are limited to max
>> 3-4.
>>
>> Design: An ABC randomized controlled group design with repeated
>> measures using two conditions: FAP and control.
>>
>> independant variable: FAP training in the form of two graduate
>> students (T) with FAP training will train and supervise 12 other
>> fellow students (Ss). The two T's will hold an intensive FAP course
>> for the Ss in the FAP condition. During th study, the T 's will
>> supervise under supervision 2 hours a week in goups of 4 the Ss in
>> both conditions. Those in the FAP group will recieve specific FAP
>> supervision and those in the control condition will receive
>> supportive therapy and reflective listening. The control condition
>> will contain no extra education, only a minimal of clinical
>> supervision. None of the participating Ss will know which condition
>> they belong to.
>>
>> Dependant variables: measures of the qualtiy of the therapeutic
>> relationship, therapeutic skills on the part of the therapist, and
>> the graduate students doing the FAP training will be done by using
>> the FIAT which includes ratings from the client, the students, the
>> therapists and obsevers rating the sessions on video. We could also
>> include symptom function outcome measures of therapy as well.
>>
>> i would appreciate any comments on this study.
