The Impact

ABSTRACT Eating disorders are psychiatric conditions originated from and perpetuated by individual, family and sociocultural factors. The psychosocial approach to treatment and prevention of relapse is crucial. To present an overview of the scientific evidence on effectiveness of psychosocial interventions in treatment of eating disorders. All systematic reviews published by the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews - Cochrane Library on the topic were included. Afterwards, as from the least recent date of these reviews (2001), an additional search was conducted at PubMed with sensitive search strategy and with the same keywords used. A total of 101 primary studies and 30 systematic reviews (5 Cochrane systematic reviews), meta-analysis, guidelines or narrative reviews of literature were included. The main outcomes were: symptomatic remission, body image, cognitive distortion, psychiatric comorbidity, psychosocial functioning and patient satisfaction. The cognitive behavioral approach was the most effective treatment, especially for bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and the night eating syndrome. For anorexia nervosa, the family approach showed greater effectiveness. Other effective approaches were interpersonal psychotherapy, dialectic behavioral therapy, support therapy and self-help manuals. Moreover, there was an increasing number of preventive and promotional approaches that addressed individual, family and social risk factors, being promising for the development of positive self-image and self-efficacy. Further studies are required to evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary approaches on all eating disorders, as well as the cost-effectiveness of some effective modalities, such as the cognitive behavioral therapy.

Significant Difference

A randomized clinical trial tested the hypothesis that a flexible, case formulation–based, individual treatment approach integrating motivational interviewing strategies with cognitive-behavioral therapy (ICBT) is more efficacious than a standardized group cognitive-behavioral approach (GCBT) for perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV). Forty-two men presenting for services at a community domestic violence agency were randomized to receive 20 sessions of ICBT or a 20-week group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program. Participants and their relationship partners completed assessments of relationship abuse and relationship functioning at baseline and quarterly follow-ups for 1 year. Treatment uptake and session attendance were significantly higher in ICBT than GCBT. However, contrary to the study hypothesis, GCBT produced consistently equivalent or greater benefits than ICBT. Participant self-reports revealed significant reductions in abusive behavior and injuries across conditions with no differential benefits between conditions. Victim partner reports revealed more favorable outcomes for group treatment, including a statistically significant difference in psychological aggression, and differences exceeding a medium effect size for physical assault, emotional abuse, and partner relationship adjustment. In response to hypothetical relationship scenarios, GCBT was associated with greater reductions than ICBT (exceeding a medium effect) in articulated cognitive distortions and aggressive intentions. Treatment competence ratings suggest that flexible, individualized administration of CBT creates challenges in session agenda setting, homework implementation, and formal aspects of relationship skills training. Although caution is needed in generalizing findings from this small-scale trial, the results suggest that the mutual support and positive social influence available in group intervention may be particularly helpful for IPV perpetrators.

Somatic Diseases

In every somatic disease we can find a psychological element, just as it is not uncommon for numerous physical symptoms to occur in a mental disease. Nowadays, the patient is no longer just the “owner” of the sick organ but is considered and treated as a “whole”. The interpenetration of somatic manifestations with mental health problems forces patients who experience subjective suffering, including mental suffering, from current symptoms to visit specialists from different fields of medicine, and their treatment does not bring about any improvement. Cognitive behavioral psychotherapy (CBT) is one form of therapy that attempts to respond to the needs of an increasing—in recent years—number of patients who demonstrate somatic disorders of a multifaceted nature. The co-occurrence of physical and mental disorders repeatedly makes it impossible to determine which symptoms were the cause and which were the effect; hence, it is difficult to establish clear boundaries between the categories of these disorders and diseases. The therapist, to whom the patient with somatic diseases is eventually referred, may be faced with a diagnostic dilemma, the solution of which will give direction to further psychotherapeutic work. The common feature of this group of patients is a strong focus on physical ailments, while omitting or almost completely ignoring the psychological factors involved. The purpose of this paper is to present the causally diverse circumstances in which a patient with physical symptoms needs diagnosis and therapeutic support from the perspective of a cognitive behavioral approach.

Cognitive Behavioral Intervention

Lebanon has the highest per-capita concentration of refugees worldwide. There is an urgent need to offer psychosocial interventions to vulnerable groups such as Syrian refugee adolescents. To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a cognitive–behavioral intervention (Creating Opportunities for Patient Empowerment [COPE]) on depression, anxiety, and quality of life (QOL) in a sample of adolescent refugees (13-17 years) living in Lebanon. A preexperimental study design was used. COPE 7-Session was delivered to 31 adolescent Syrian refugees. Participants were assessed for depression (Personal Health Questionnaire–9), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorders Scale), and QOL (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory). Feasibility and acceptability findings indicated that the COPE program was a positive experience for teens. Significant decreases in depression and anxiety, and increases in QOL were also reported. COPE is an effective cognitive–behavioral intervention that can be delivered in an Arabic/Middle-Eastern setting for teen refugees to improve mental health and QOL.

  La fibromialgia es una enfermedad con fuerte impacto psicológico, de evolución crónica que provoca dolor, rigidez e hipersensibilidad en músculos, tendones y articulaciones por más de tres meses de evolución. Generalmente está asociada a alteraciones cognitivas, disminución del sueño, astenia, ansiedad y depresión a diferentes grados. Aunque la etiología no se conoce con exactitud, el diagnóstico es clínico por exclusión. En este estudio se determinó la eficacia de la terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC) en pacientes con fibromialgia en el Hospital Básico Miguel H. Alcívar de Bahía de Caráquez, Ecuador. El estudio fue descriptivo y prospectivo en 30 pacientes diagnosticados de fibromialgia, en el periodo de mayo a septiembre de 2017. La mayoría de los pacientes fueron mujeres entre 30 y 40 años de edad, cuyo síntoma principal fue el dolor generalizado, con espectro ansioso-depresivo. Se utilizó el test de ansiedad y depresión hospitalaria para diagnosticar la presencia de ansiedad y depresión antes y después de la terapia. Los pacientes con fibromialgia fueron tratados con hipnosis, con un enfoque cognitivo conductual, en el 70,1 % los síntomas desaparecieron o mejoraron durante los meses en los que mantuvieron el tratamiento, lo cual demuestra la efectividad del tratamiento con TCC en pacientes con fibromialgia.   Palabras clave: Fibromialgia, depresión, ansiedad, terapia cognitivo-conductual, hipnosis.   Abstract Fibromyalgia is a disease with a strong psychological impact, of chronic evolution that causes pain, stiffness and hypersensitivity in muscles, tendons and joints, for more than three months of evolution. It is generally associated with cognitive alterations, decreased sleep, asthenia, anxiety and depression to different degrees. Although the etiology is not exactly known, the diagnosis is clinical by exclusion. In this study, the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) was determined in patients with fibromyalgia at the Basic Hospital Miguel H. Alcívar de Bahía de Caráquez, Ecuador. The study was descriptive and prospective in 30 patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia, in the period from May to September 2017. Most of the patients were women between 30 and 40 years of age, whose main symptom was generalized pain, with an anxious spectrum- depressant. The hospital anxiety and depression test was used to diagnose the presence of anxiety and depression before and after therapy. Fibromyalgia patients were treated with hypnosis, with a cognitive behavioral approach, in 70.1% the symptoms disappeared or improved during the months in which they maintained the treatment, which demonstrates the effectiveness of CBT treatment in patients with fibromyalgia.   Keywords: Fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapy, hypnosis.
