An Evaluation of Pharmacological Treatment Combined with Stress Inoculation Training in the Management of oral Lichen Planus

The aim of this pilot study was to examine the effects of the inclusion of a cognitive-behavioral intervention to the pharmacological treatment of oral lichen planus (OLP). Using a randomized controlled clinical trial, 16 patients affected by OLP were treated either with a potent corticosteroid in addition with stress inoculation training or with the drug alone. There were significant differences between the groups regarding the severity of the pathology both at the end of the treatment as well as at one-month follow-up. It is concluded that a cognitive-behavioral intervention might be usefully combined with pharmacological treatment for OLP.     

Editorial: Psychosocial Aspects of AIDS

This article comprises two parts.

In the first part, some general issues related to research training are discussed, including the “Scientist-Practitioner Model,” training for basic and applied research, differences between the USA and Europe at various levels of training, and types or areas of research students should be trained for.

In the second part, seven specific objectives of research training are discussed. These objective are (a) learning to write a review of the research literature, (b) learning to critically evaluate a journal article, (c) learning to plan and carry out a specific health psychology research study, (d) learning to communicate, (e) learning to enhance co-operation of professionals in the field, (f) learning to raise funds, (g) learning to respect ethical issues.     

Training service providers working with traumatized children in South Africa: The navigations of a trainer

In South Africa, counselling training poses two related difficulties: working in a situation of ubiquitous, ongoing violence, and offering training to people who have minimal or no qualifications and are often overwhelmed by enormous workload. In this context, there is a temptation either to give up hope in the face of the enormity of the task, or defensively to package counselling as a set of techniques which can be taught without much self-reflection. In this article we discuss, by contrast, an intervention which used psychodynamic principles to develop learner-centred training drawing on trainees' own experiences. We consider the benefits of this approach even in a context of violence and meagre resources.
