Developing a prototype for short-term psychodynamic (supportive-expressive) therapy: An empirical study with the psychotherapy process Q-set.
2015
AbstractObjective: A Psychotherapy Process Q-set (PQS) prototype characteristic of short-term psychodynamic therapy (STPP) does not yet exist. Method: Experts in supportive-expressive (SE) therapy used the 100-Item PQS questionnaire to rate an ideal short-term SE therapy. Results: Agreement between raters was high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.94). The prototype for SE therapy showed a significant correlation with the psychoanalytic prototype, but with 28% of variance explained, the majority of variance of the former was not explained by the latter or vice versa. Furthermore, the SE prototype showed significant correlations with the cognitive-behavioral prototype and the prototype of interpersonal …
Countertransference in Factitious Disorder
1994
In the treatment of patients with factitious disorder it is important to realize that at various levels of their experience these patients are more intimate with death than with life. This requires a particular awareness of resistance mechanisms to countertransference as well as of the importance of clinical procedures, in particular with regard to superego analysis. A requirement for establishing a psychotherapeutic alliance with patients suffering from factitious disorder is a high degree of 'therapeutic eros', hope and trust in one's own capabilities. The emphasis on a 'biophile attitude' does, however, involve the danger that the destructive potential, fantasies of death or killing, but…
Group analytic therapy for eating disorders: preliminary results in a single-group study.
2008
Objectives There is a lack of empirical data on the effectiveness and process of group-analytic therapy in eating disorders. This single-group study aimed to explore the effectiveness of such treatment for anorexic and bulimic individuals. Method Eight patients (three anorexic and five bulimic women) entered group-analytic treatment, meeting weekly for 2 years. Eating behaviours, overall psychological distress and group process variables were regularly assessed using quantitative and qualitative measures, with comparisons made at the beginning and end of the therapy. Results Treatment was discontinued in two cases. When outcome was classified on the basis of reliable change and clinical sig…
Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs durch Patienten mit Angststörungen nach stationärer Psychotherapie
2002
Ziel. Identifikation von Einflussfaktoren auf die subjektive Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs nach stationarer Angstpsychotherapie. Methode. 231 Angstpatienten wurden in einer multizentrischen Studie zu Therapiebeginn und -ende sowie in der 1-Jahres-Katamnese untersucht. Die subjektive Erfolgsbewertung wurde mittels des Helping Alliance Questionnaire erfasst; in diesem Zusammenhang wird der Begriff “Patientenzufriedenheit” diskutiert. Ergebnis. Die Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs korreliert weder mit Alter, Geschlecht oder Bildungsstand noch mit Krankheitsdauer, Symptombelastung bei Therapiebeginn oder Behandlungsdauer. Am hochsten korreliert die Bewertung des Therapieerfolgs mit dem symptombezo…
The oceanic state: a conceptual elucidation in terms of modal contact
2012
Despite its lengthy history in psychoanalysis, the psychological origins, essential features and value of the oceanic state remain open to dispute. This ambiguity has come at a cost to the clarity of theoretical discussions on the topic. In working towards a conceptual elucidation, the author maintains that there are three primary accounts of the oceanic state: the metaphysical one of Romain Rolland, the developmental one of Sigmund Freud, and the cognitive-perceptual one of Anton Ehrenzweig. Based on the notion of modal contact, he argues that the accounts share a general theoretical structure that establishes as the necessary criterion for all oceanic states the loosening of ego boundarie…
Al di là del sintomo. Il gruppo psicodinamico nelle dipendenze
2012
I Disturbi da Uso di Sostanze (DUS) e i Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare (DCA) presentano delle caratteristiche comuni. Essi infatti si manifestano attraverso un attacco al corpo, presentano un’insorgenza in età adolescenziale o tardo adolescenziale e una prevalenza associata rispettivamente al genere maschile e femminile. In una prospettiva psicodinamica, ciò che soprattutto accomuna i DUS e i DCA (insieme ai disturbi psicosomatici) è il fatto di poter essere considerati dei disturbi di secondo livello, dei quadri sintomatologici di copertura rispetto ad una sofferenza psichica sottostante. In questo senso possono essere considerate delle modalità di auto-terapia e autoregolazione emo…
Psychoanalytically-Oriented Inpatient Psychotherapy of Somatoform Disorders
2008
Somatoform disorders have been neglected in psychoanalytic publications. Unlike the descriptive approach of DSM-IV and ICD-10, sophisticated psychoanalytical models have been proposed for many years explaining the development of physical symptoms without definable medical cause. Based on a review of the psychoanalytic models of somatization and conversion, this article explores difficulties in the medical and psychotherapeutic treatments of somatoform disorders. The unique tradition of psychosomatic inpatient treatment in Germany is illustrated by the psychoanalytic treatment setting at the University of Mainz. A case report of a somatoform patient shows how childhood trauma is activated an…
Manualized psychodynamic-interactional group therapy for the treatment of somatoform pain disorders.
2010
Medically unexplained and clinically significant symptoms of pain are highly prevalent in the general population. More than one third of all patients in general practices and various departments of hospitals suffer from somatoform disorders with pain being the main complaint of 70% of these patients. This treatment manual is the first disorder-specific, psychodynamically oriented treatment for these patients. Based on psychodynamic-interactional group psychotherapy, it focuses on disorder-specific aspects as well as on psychic and interpersonal problems which have resulted from adverse childhood experiences and insecure attachment. In three treatment phases comprising an “information and mo…
