Drift is a phenomenon that can occur in cognitive-behavioral supervision, where core components of supervision are omitted, avoided, or deprioritized. This narrative review explores the signs, reasons, and impact of supervisory drift at the experiential, cognitive, and emotional levels for both the supervisor and the supervisee. Additionally, the article presents potential solutions for preventing and addressing supervisory drift, such as staying on track, anticipating problems before they arise, adapting supervision to the supervisee's needs, using active supervision methods to understand drift better, engaging in Supervision of Supervision (SoS), and using alliance measures. Through the use of case vignettes, we illustrate the potential solutions. We aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of supervisory drift and offer practical strategies for its prevention and management.

BACKGROUND: Ethics is an inherent part of psychotherapy that protects the interests and rights of all parties engaged in the therapeutic relationship. This article focuses on ethical issues and dilemmas that may arise when using schema therapy. METHOD: We created a narrative review by searching the databases PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus with the keywords "psychotherapy", "schema therapy", "therapeutic relationship", "ethics", "ethical questions", and "ethical dilemmas". In addition, we focused on the clinical experience of therapists, training instructors, and supervisors. RESULTS: Ethical psychotherapy requires adherence to ethical codes and standards. Among the most important ethical principles are confidentiality, informed consent, boundaries of the therapeutic relationship, and dual relationships. Understanding transference, countertransference, and one's modes and schemas is essential to ethical reflection in schema therapy. The article presents examples of ethical dilemmas in schema therapy and suggests possible solutions. At the same time, we point out the need for further research in this field. CONCLUSION: Similarly to other psychotherapeutic approaches, one of the schema therapist's core competencies is following the profession's ethical principles and productively finding solutions to the occasional ethical dilemmas. Ethics is a prominent part of all psychotherapeutic sessions. Still, it becomes even more central when working with challenging issues such as personality disorders that schema therapy routinely treats. More research on the topic is needed.

AIM: The paper describes the characteristics of relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder (R-OCD), including the types of obsessions and compulsions, the common triggers and the impact on psychological well-being and relationship functioning. It also offers basic cognitive-behavioural strategies to help patients change their attitudes towards obsessive thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviours. METHODS: This article is a narrative review of the literature and case studies on R-OCD. To search for relevant sources, we used PubMed, PsycINFO and Web of Science databases with the keywords "relationship obsessive compulsive disorder", "R-OCD", "relationship OCD" and "partner-focused OCD". We included only studies published in English from January 1990 to June 2023. The paper provides examples of how basic cognitive-behavioural strategies help individuals with R-OCD. RESULTS: People with R-OCD experience intrusive thoughts about whether they have the right feelings for their partner, whether their partner loves them, whether the relationship is suitable or whether their partner has flaws. These thoughts trigger the urge to perform various rituals to alleviate anxiety, such as repeated checking, reassurance or comparison. However, this behaviour leads to disruption of the relationship and long-term maintenance of the anxiety. Examples of basic cognitive-behavioural strategies can be applied in clinical practice to help individuals change their attitudes towards relational obsessive thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviours.
PURPOSE: Child abuse and trauma are significant risk factors in the etiology of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Apart from affecting the risk of developing BPD, adverse childhood experiences seem to increase its symptoms and related disability. Self-stigma presents another common issue with equally prominent consequences for mental health. Despite being theoretically linked, the connections among childhood trauma, self-stigma, and mental health have not been explored in patients with BPD. This study aimed to provide first insights into this understudied topic. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 283 inpatients diagnosed with BPD participating in a residential transdiagnostic psychotherapeutic program. The patients completed several measurements - the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire - Short Form, the Clinical Global Impression - Severity, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Dissociative Experiences Scale, the Sheehan Disability Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. The data was statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS and AMOS 26 programs, and bivariate correlation tests and structural equation modeling explored the hypotheses. RESULTS: Retrospectively reported childhood trauma positively correlated with current self-stigma. Both childhood trauma and self-stigma were also positively related to several indicators of general psychopathology and disability. The significance of these connections was subsequently confirmed by structural equation modeling, where self-stigma acted as a partial mediator of childhood trauma, general psychopathology, and disability. CONCLUSION: Self-stigma significantly mediates the relationship between childhood trauma and selected mental health symptoms among adult patients diagnosed with BPD. Longitudinal studies are necessary to explore the causality of the findings. Therapeutic and societal efforts to tackle childhood trauma or self-stigma might benefit from reflecting its broader psychosocial context.

The purpose of supervision is to ensure that clients' needs are met and to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions and the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) supervision is the systematic cooperation of the supervisee with the supervisor, which aims at increasing the therapists' competencies when working with specific clients. The advantage of supervision is the possibility to shape and develop the therapist's practical skills through specific techniques. This paper aims to review currently available CBT supervision strategies that boost the development of therapists' skills and provide possible examples. Various techniques are discussed, including behavioural, cognitive, imagery and psychodrama methods that facilitate supervisors in enhancing therapists' skills. In addition, complementary approaches are discussed, such as role-playing, modelling, chaining, or imitation to present at a particular moment of the therapy, increase the insight into the client's perspective or the treatment itself, and search for an alternative approach to improve the therapeutic outcomes for the client. Overall, the article describes the supervisor's need to have a flexible variety of skills and know which learning methods might be most effective for boosting the supervisee's skill level and needs with a particular client.

Depresivní porucha patří mezi časté psychické poruchy. Podstatná část pacientů s touto poruchou se nedostává k adekvátní terapii. Mezi hlavní důvody patří snížená dostupnost péče a strach ze stigmatizace. V řadě západních zemí, jako jsou Švédsko, Austrálie, Německo, Velká Británie, Nizozemí, Švýcarsko nebo Spojené státy, tyto bariéry snižují internetové terapeutické programy, které představují účinnou a nízkonákladovou pomoc jedincům s lehkými až středně závažnými příznaky deprese. Tyto programy zpravidla vychází z principů kognitivně behaviorální terapie a psychoedukace, mají interaktivní obsah a sebezkušenostní cvičení. Většina nabízí i pomoc vyškoleného terapeuta. Programy bez podpory terapeuta jsou také účinné. Ukazuje se však, že intervence s intervencemi terapeuta vykazují vyšší efektivitu. Některé země, jako je Velká Británie, mají bohatou tradici výzkumu účinnosti těchto programů a zařadily je do krokové péče a doporučených postupů léčby. V České republice dosud tyto programy chyběly. Česká platforma Mindwell nabízí internetový KBT program pro jedince s lehkými a středně těžkými příznaky deprese. Tento program má 12 modulů, ve kterých se systematicky rozvíjejí jednotlivé internetové strategie účinné pro zmírňování deprese. V současnosti se dokončuje výzkum uživatelské přívětivosti programu, v blízké budoucnosti bude následovat analýza jeho účinnosti.
Depressive disorder is a common mental disorder. A considerable part of the patients does not receive adequate therapy. The main reasons are the low availability of treatment and fear of stigmatisation. Online therapeutic programs reduce these barriers in many Western countries, such as Sweden, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States. These programs present efficacious and cost-effective help for individuals with mild and moderate symptoms of depression. They are usually based on principles of cognitive behavioural therapy and psychoeducation and offer interactive content and help from a trained therapist. Purely self-guided programs are also efficacious. However, the guided programs seem more effective. The United Kingdom and several other countries have a rich tradition of researching these programs and integrating them into the stepped care and the guidelines. Until recently, Czech patients did not have the option to access such programs in their mother tongue. The Czech platform Mindwell offers an online CBT program for individuals with mild and moderate symptoms of depression. This program has 12 modules that systematically develop individual online strategies effective for alleviating depressive symptoms. The team finishes a feasibility study, and an effective analysis will follow.

Vztahová obsedantně kompulzivní porucha (R-OCD) je subtyp obsedantně-kompulzivní poruchy (OCD), který se projevuje neustálými pochybnostmi a úzkostmi týkajícími se intimního vztahu. Myšlení lidí s R-OCD je zaujato vtíravými myšlenkami, jejichž obsahem jsou pochybnosti, zda pocity, které chovají k partnerovi, jsou správné, zda je partner miluje, zda je vztah vhodný nebo zda má partner nějaké nedostatky. Tyto myšlenky vyvolávají nutkání k provádění rituálů v podobě opakovaných kontrol, ujišťování nebo porovnávání. Rituály vedou ke snížení úzkosti a napětí. Toto chování však vede k narušení vztahu a dlouhodobému udržování úzkosti. Článek popisuje charakteristiky R-OCD a nabízí základní strategie kognitivně behaviorální terapie (KBT), která pomáhá pacientům změnit svůj vztah k obsedantním myšlenkám a snížit nutkavé chování.

Schema therapy is an integrative approach to treat patients with personality disorders and other complex psychological problems. Group schema therapy has been developed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of schema therapy by providing a supportive and stimulating environment for change. This article introduces the River of Life Method, a novel technique for facilitating group schema therapy, based on the metaphor of a river of life. The method helps patients to identify and modify their maladaptive schemas and modes in a nurturing process in the group. The article describes the theoretical background, the practical steps, and the clinical applications of the method. It also presents the patients' experience with the method, based on their feedback and self-reports. The results showed that the method was well received by both patients and therapists, and that it had positive effects on schema modes, psychological distress, and coping with adversities and hope for the future.
