Summary
This study explores two psychotherapy approaches for neuroses: symptom-centered and personality-centered. Autogenic training for asthma and group psychotherapy for colitis show therapeutic potential.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatry and Psychology
- Psychosomatic Medicine
Context:
- Neuroses treatment requires physician-patient trust and understanding of pathophysiological links to reduce anxiety.
- Therapeutic method selection depends on neurosis severity, categorized into symptom-centered and personality-centered approaches.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of symptom-centered and personality-centered psychotherapeutic methods in treating neuroses.
- To demonstrate the application of autogenic training for bronchial asthma and group psychotherapy for chronic ulcerative colitis.
Summary:
- Autogenic training, a symptom-centered method, was assessed in bronchial asthma patients by measuring maximum expiration speed and breathing capacity.
- Complex group psychotherapy, a personality-centered method, was evaluated in hospitalized patients with chronic ulcerative colitis, focusing on relapse frequency and work capability.
Impact:
- Findings contribute to understanding the differential effectiveness of psychotherapeutic strategies based on neurosis type and severity.
- Provides evidence for integrating specific psychotherapeutic interventions into the management of psychosomatic disorders like asthma and ulcerative colitis.

01:30Electroconvulsive Therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early years,...
