- Background: Psychotherapy homework completion is associated with positive treatment outcomes, but many patients show low adherence to prescribed assignments. Whether text-message prompts are effective in increasing adherence to assignments is unknown. Aims: To evaluate whether tailored daily text-message prompts can increase homework adherence in a stress/anxiety treatment. Method: This study used a randomised controlled single-case alternating treatment design with parallel replication in seven participants. Participants received a five-week relaxation program for stress and anxiety with daily exercises. The intervention consisted of daily text messages tailored for each participant. Phases with or without text messages were randomly alternated over the study course. Randomisation tests were used to statistically analyse differences in mean number of completed relaxation exercises between phases. Results: There was a significant (combined p = .018) effect of daily text messages on homework adherence across participants with weak to medium effect size improvements. No negative effects of daily text messages were identified. Conclusions: Tailored text messages can marginally improve adherence to assignments for patients in CBT. Further studies may investigate how text messages can be made relevant for more patients and whether text messages can be used to increase homework quality rather than quantity.

- This article presents a panel discussion on the integration of homework assignments into cognitive behaviour therapy sessions. The panel comprised experts in research and practice who had been invited as keynote presenters for the 32nd National Conference for the Australian Association of Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy. Experts responded to questions about the definition of homework, the mechanism by which homework produces its effects, and the relative importance of homework adherence for effective therapy. Interwoven through the discussion was an emphasis on a collaborative approach to homework, as well as specific recommendations for the integration of homework into sessions. Selected case illustrations were also discussed.

- Behavioural treatment of an adolescent girl with chronic stomach pain is described. The client was treated with a broad spectrum behavioural package including applied relaxation and coping skills. Results indicated considerable improvements in ratings of down-time, nausea, health, and mood. Moreover, she was nearly pain-free, and her activity and depression levels were substantially improved. The effects of treatment generalized to the natural environment and were sustained at a 9 month follow-up.

- Objectives: Although cognitive–behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been shown to be effective for primary insomnia, the impact of CBT-I on insomnia comorbid with psychiatric conditions is largely unknown.Design: A multiple baseline design with 2–3 weeks of baseline, 6 weeks of CBT-I, and a 3-week follow-up was employed.Methods: Four patients with insomnia comorbid with both anxiety and depressive disorders participated. Sleep onset latency (SOL), wake time after sleep onset (WASO), total sleep time (TST), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) were used as outcome measures.Results: Improvements in SOL, WASO, and TST were observed for all the four patients. Based on ISI, there were reductions for all the patients (32–92%), three patients responded to treatment, and two patients remitted. Based on BAI, reductions on anxiety were observed for all the patients (40–76%), three patients were treatment responders, and two patients remitted. Based on BDI-II, all the patients experienced reductions in depression (36–53%), three patients responded to treatment, and one patient remitted.Conclusions: CBT-I was able to reduce insomnia and co-morbid anxiety and depression, thus providing preliminary evidence for using CBT-I on insomnia co-morbid with psychiatric conditions.

- Studies on the efficacy of parent training programs have mostly been conducted with preadolescents, with only a few studies investigating family treatment models in adolescents. In this article, a study is described that evaluates Standard Teen Triple P (Positive Parenting Program), a behavioural family intervention for parents of 11- to 16-year-old teenagers. Participants were 46 families with a teenager who was experiencing detectable behavioural and emotional problems. Compared to parents in the waitlist control condition, parents participating in the intervention condition reported decreased levels of teen disruptive behaviours and parent adolescent conflict, as well as a reduction in the use of ineffective parenting strategies and conflict over child-rearing issues. These positive changes were maintained at the 3-month follow-up. Results suggest that Standard Teen Triple P is a promising parenting intervention for tackling adolescent externalising problems.
