Another influential theory of motivation was proposed by Herzberg et al. (1959). This theory postulates only two levels of motivation. Herzberg contrasted wages, working conditions, interpersonal relations and supervisory behavior which he called "hygiene" factors, with recognition, achievement, responsibility, and advancement which he called "motivators."...

Effective mentors have a portfolio of models that they can draw upon to help mentees understand the issues they face. These models can be self-generated (i.e. the result of personal experience), drawn from elsewhere (e.g. models of company structure, interpersonal behaviours, strategic planning, career planning) or -... 

Carroll et al. (2004) conducted another study examining psychotherapy and disulfiram treatment for cocaine dependence. In this randomi2ed, doubleblind, placebo-controlled study, patients (iV=121) were assigned to one of four conditions 1) disulfiram plus CBT 2) disulfiram plus interpersonal therapy (IPT), which addressed adherence to a medical model of psychiatric problems, interpersonal functioning, and supportive therapeutic exploration 3) placebo plus CBT or 4) placebo plus IPT. The patients who received disulfiram reduced their cocaine use, relative to those who received placebo, and the patients who received CBT reduced their cocaine use, relative to those who received IPT. Cocaine abstinence among the patients who received CBT plus placebo was not statistically different from that of the patients who re-...

Various forms of psychotherapy are regarded as effective interventions in mild to moderate depression, but studies comparing the economics of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are few (Rosenbaum and Hylan, 1999). One study found that the total health-care costs for patients who received psychotherapy were no different from those for patients who received an antidepressant. However, no efficacy measure was used (Edgell and Hylan, 1997). A randomized, prospective study which evaluated the treatment of depression with nortriptyline, interpersonal therapy or treatment as usual, with outcomes expressed in quality-adjusted life years, found that nortriptyline but not interpersonal therapy was a cost-effective alternative to treatment as usual (Lave et al, 1998). 

In humans, MDA and MDMA have been reported to produce positive mood changes, enhanced emotional awareness, and improved interpersonal communication (Greer and Tolbert 1986 Downing 1986 Shulgin 1986 Peroutka et al. 1988). Because of these psychotropic effects, MDA and MDMA have been used in psychotherapeutic situations (Naranjo et al. 1967 Yensen et al. 1976 Grinspoon and Bakalar 1986). In addition, presumably because of the same positive subjective effects, recreational use of MDMA on college campuses has increased in recent years (Peroutka et al. 1988). 

The examination of individual NP case studies by other investigators, as well as summary results of our pilot research, suggest at least two clinically distinct populations. One subsample of PCP abusers has a developmental history of prenatal and birth complications, e.g., prematurity, anoxia at birth, or low APGAR scores, and of early childhood factors, e.g., CHI with loss of consciousness, febrile illnesses with or without convulsions, or chronic ear infections. These histories contribute to developmental learning and performance disorders. In this group, LD causes academic failure and frustrations, which in turn contribute to the development of psychological and interpersonal problems. 

This chapter is the first chapter in this book and serves as an introduction The first section of this chapter starts with a discussion of what is a medicinal chemist In this chapter the reader will notice far more attention to the people aspect of the discipline of medicinal chemistry than will be found in later chapters. This is by design. When expert practitioners in the field discuss success in medicinal chemistry the focus is usually very much on the person rather than on the technology. We admire the persistent drug hunters. We remember the individuals who do not give up easily. We appreciate those individuals with the interpersonal skills that facilitate an effective therapeutic project team. We admire those medicinal chemists who think out of the box and come up with the insights that transform a program. In this introduction I have tried to give some credit to this people factor.

B. Social/occupational dysfunction For a significant portion of the time since the onset of the disturbance, one or more major areas of functioning such as work, interpersonal relations, or self-care are markedly below the level achieved prior to onset (or when onset is in childhood or adolescence, failure to achieve the expected level of interpersonal, academic, or occupational achievement). 

Interpersonal therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are types of psychotherapy that have well-documented efficacy for the treatment of MDD. Psychotherapy alone is an initial treatment option for mild to moderate cases of depression, and it may be useful when combined with pharmacotherapy in the treatment of more severe cases of depression. In fact, the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy can be more effective than either treatment modality alone in cases of severe or recurrent MDD. Psychotherapy can be especially helpful for patients with significant psychosocial stressors, interpersonal difficulties, or comorbid personality disorders.16... 

Interpersonal, family, or group therapy with a licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner/clinical nurse specialist, psychologist, social worker, or counselor assists individuals with bipolar disorder to establish and maintain a daily routine and sleep schedule and to improve interpersonal relationships.3,20 These therapies may help treat and protect against manic episodes. 

Assess patients for improvement of anxiety symptoms and for return to baseline occupational, social, and interpersonal functioning. With effective treatment, the patient should have no or minimal symptoms of anxiety or depression. While drug therapy is being initiated, evaluate patients more frequently to ensure tolerability and response. Increase the dose in patients exhibiting a partial response after 2 to 4 weeks on an antidepressant or 2 weeks on a benzodiazepine. Individualize the duration of treatment because some patients require up to one year of treatment.27...

Although it has received the most attention, CBT is not the only form of psychotherapy that is effective for depression. Other psychological treatments include interpersonal psychotherapy, short-term psychodynamic therapy and non-directive supportive therapy. Interpersonal psychotherapy focuses on problems that arise in interpersonal relationships, such as marital conflict, the loss of a loved one and social isolation.20 Short-term psychodynamic therapy focuses on acquiring insight and understanding of unresolved conflicts arising from the person s childhood. It is based on Freud s psychoanalytic theory, but requires only months, rather than the years it takes for a full psychoanalysis.21 Non-directive supportive therapy provides a warm, supportive atmosphere in which the depressed person can explore life issues...

On the other hand, you rightly emphasised the problems that arise when dealing with patients whose value systems or cultural backgrounds are different. In Africa, one is frequently confronted by patients whose faith in sangomas, or witch doctors, is profound and whose language presents a barrier that requires the intervention of an interpreter and hence the loss of the interpersonal relationship that the holistic approach requires. Under these circumstances, reductionism is often the easiest answer to providing a good deal by Western standards.
