Abstract:
Based on the results of examination of 157 patients with neurotic depression (ICD-10 items F43.20, F43.21, F43.22), electroencephalographic criteria of transpersonal psychotherapy efficacy have been specified as following: the increase of alpha-3 activity in the frontotemporal region and the decrease of a spectral index of theta-activity in parietal, central, occipital and prefrontal regions; some changes in beta-band (the increase of spectral index of beta-1 in frontotemporal and prefrontal regions and the decrease of beta-2 in parietal and occipital regions). The direction of these changes is objectively supported by the clinical dynamics, data of correlation analysis of neurophysiological parameters and psychometric scales used for assessment of the presence and severity of emotional and personality disorders.
