FROM: Moritz S, Veckenstedt R, Andreou C, et al . Sustained and “sleeper” effects of group metacognitive training for schizophrenia: a randomized clinical trial. JAMA Psychiatry 2014;71:1103–11. Metacognitive training (MCT) is an intervention that aims to raise patients’ awareness for cognitive biases involved in the formation and maintenance of psychotic symptoms. The programme is freely downloadable in 31 languages at http://clinical-neuropsychology.de/metacognitive_training-psychosis.html. The majority of studies confirm that MCT is effective in improving delusion, cognitive biases and insight.1 ,2 However the long-term effects of MCT were not known. 150 patients between 18 and 65 years with DSM-IV schizophrenia spectrum disorders, with present or prior delusional symptoms were randomly assigned to either MCT or COGPACK, a programme that aims to improve basic neuropsychological functions. As they may have been a distraction to other group members, severely psychotic patients were excluded as well as participants with substance dependence, IQ

L’analyse interactionnelle ouvre des perspectives pour la formation des infirmiers. Seize étudiants et trois enseignants ont mené une analyse interactionnelle d’activités soignantes filmées visant à comprendre la pratique du dévoilement de soi en psychiatrie. En quoi l’usage en formation des outils de l’analyse interactionnelle constitue-t-il une ressource pour l’acquisition de compétences professionnelles en psychiatrie ? Nous montrons comment ce dispositif de formation constitue une ressource dans la professionnalisation des infirmiers pour : a) l’acquisition de savoirs théoriques cliniques, b) l’articulation de ces savoirs avec des activités professionnelles projetées, c) une posture descriptive non-jugeante utile à l’observation clinique., Interaction analysis opens promising perspectives for nursing education. Sixteen students and three teachers conducted an interaction analysis, based on video-recorded therapeutic activities. The study aims to understand the practice of self-disclosure in psychiatric nursing. How does the use of interaction analysis tools in a training setting constitute a resource for the acquisition of professional skills ? We show how this training design constitutes a resource for : a) the acquisition of clinical theoretical knowledge, b) the articulation of theoretical and practical knowledge, c) the development of a non-judging descriptive posture useful for the clinical observation.
