Abstract: (20 Views)
Aim and Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. It is a severe and debilitating type of anxiety disorder that leads to significant negative psychological consequences for affected individuals. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group psychotherapy with a dynamic-interpersonal approach on perfectionism and guilt feeling in individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
Methods and Materials: The present study employed an experimental design with pretest-posttest and follow-up assessments with a control group. For this purpose, all individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in the first three months of the year 2023, who had visited the Counseling Center of Isfahan City, were considered as the statistical population. Using the convenience sampling method, 30 participants were selected and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 (experimental and control). Then, multidimensional questionnaires of perfectionis and guilt feeling were administered in the pretest phase. Subsequently, for the experimental group, group psychotherapy with a dynamic-interpersonal approach was conducted in 16 sessions (4 stages) of 90 minutes each, twice a week. However, the control group received no intervention. After completing the therapy sessions, a posttest was administered for both groups in the final session, and a follow-up test was conducted two months after the completion of the intervention. The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with SPSS-26 software.
Findings: The results indicated that group psychotherapy with a dynamic-interpersonal approach was effective in reducing perfectionism and guilt at a significance level of less than 0.05.
Conclusions: Based on the results, it can be concluded that dynamic-interpersonal group psychotherapy can be utilized as a comprehensive and integrated treatment for psychological characteristics of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in counseling and psychotherapy centers.
