Abstract

The term ‘Common Emotional Disorders’ refers to a range of clinical conditions such as anxiety disorders, panic atacs, mild and moderate depressive states, sleep disorders, somatoform disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder. The aim of the present article is to investigate the effectiveness of a specific group psychotherapy protocol for common emotional disorders. The outcome was evaluated in terms of reduction of anxiety-depressive symptoms. The aim is for this protocol to represent a first and valid intervention tool in the public context, in compliance with national indications in terms of cost-effectiveness. The protocol is structured in seven modules, each of which deals with the pivotal points of a psychotherapeutic pathway. It has a total duration of 6 months, and was applied to 61 adult patients afferent to a Mental Health Centre (45 F and 16 M). Results show a significant reduction in overall symptom severity and an extensive improvement in both depressive and anxious symptoms, as well as a self-perceived degree of improvement in subjective well-being. This protocol has the advantage of being able to group together patients with comorbid clinical conditions and symptom heterogeneity and offers them proven cognitive-behavioral treatment.

针对常见情绪障碍的认知行为团体心理治疗方案手册：试点研究

常见情绪障碍 "是指一系列临床症状，如焦虑症、恐慌症、轻度和中度抑郁状态、睡眠障碍、躯体形式障碍和创伤后应激障碍。本文旨在研究针对常见情绪障碍的特定小组心理治疗方案的有效性。评估的结果是焦虑-抑郁症状的减轻情况。目的是使该方案成为公共领域首个有效的干预工具，符合国家在成本效益方面的指示。该方案分为七个模块，每个模块都涉及心理治疗路径的关键点。该方案的总疗程为 6 个月，适用于一家心理健康中心的 61 名成年患者（45 名女性和 16 名男性）。结果表明，总体症状严重程度明显减轻，抑郁症状和焦虑症状均有广泛改善，主观幸福感也有一定程度的自我感觉改善。该方案的优势在于能够将合并临床症状和症状异质性的患者集中在一起，并为他们提供行之有效的认知行为治疗。
