Abstract: (336 Views)
Aim and Background: Psycho-physical disorder is one of the most common medical complaints and a type of debilitating disease that affects different aspects of the patients' personality; therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of short-term and intensive emotional-oriented therapy on personality organization in women with somatic psychosis.
Methods and Materials: This study was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up plan with a control group. The target population was all patients with somatic psychosis who referred to the specialized neuropsychiatric clinic in Tehran in 1401. The sample size was determined by referring to Cohen's table. In this way, at the confidence level of 95%, the effect size was 0.30 and the statistical power was 0.83 for each group of 12 people. However, since there was a possibility of some samples dropping out and in order to generalize the results more, the sample size was determined to be 15 people in each group. In the first step, 30 people were selected by available sampling method, and in the second step, these 30 people were replaced in two experimental groups (15 people) and a control group (15 people) in a simple random way (by lottery). The data were obtained using Kernberg Stipo questionnaire (2003) and Nef self-compassion questionnaire (2003) and 15 treatment sessions were performed according to Dovanlo's treatment protocol.
Findings: The results of the study indicated the impact of intensive and short-term dynamic psychotherapy on the dimensions of self-compassion and personality organization in patients with somatic psychosis (P<0.001).
Conclusions: According to the results, specialists active in the psychophysical field, especially the psycho-physical field, can consider the use of emotion-oriented methods and intensive and short-term dynamic psychotherapy in the treatment of these people, along with other treatments.
