| | | APSA_NY13-405 | | PPRS Research Forum: Methodology for Outcome Studies of Psychoanalysis: The World View Speakers: Steven Roose, Mark Hilsenroth, Andrew J. Gerber, Eve Caligor, Robert Michels Given the limited number of psychoanalytic outcome studies, pooling data is essential. Meta-analysis has been used extensively to aggregate the results of individual studies. The quality of a meta-analysis depends partly on studies having comparable methodology, especially with respect to patient inclusion criteria, treatment standards and primary outcome measures. Researchers must collaborate on methodology so the impact of their research is more than the sum of the parts. The intent of this forum is to attract both researchers and clinicians to an interactive session in which they act as a protocol development committee giving feedback to the presenters.

Personal destiny, however, with its accompaniments of reincarnation, planetary influences, astrology, and palmistry still remain an unwanted stepchild in psychoanalysis. Yet, they can be central to psychoanalytic therapy with highly educated, professional Hindu women. Two case studies are cited, one seen in three times a week, short-term psychoanalytic therapy in Bombay; the other in three times a week analysis in New York City over a few years.
