Indicação e concordância em iniciar tratamento durante avaliação inicial para psicoterapia psicodinâmica

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: This naturalistic and longitudinal study, following 557 outpatients who sought psychodynamic psychotherapy, aimed to verify factors associated with non-indication for psychodynamic psychotherapy and to establish predictors of non-agreement to initiate treatment for patients indicated for this treatment.It found that patients consulting for somatic or att ention problems and/or with a low educational level were less likely to be indicated for psychodynamic psychotherapy; patients perceiving their symptoms as intense were more likely to be indicated for this treatment.The following were the predictors of non-agreement to initiate psychodynamic psychotherapy: low educational level, low family income, diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizotypal or delusional disorders, depressive problems and/or never experiencing psychotherapy.Psychodynamic psychotherapy, as every other treatment, appears to be suitable for a specifi c group of patients.Unless the technique performed by psychotherapists during psychodynamic psychotherapy's initial stages is improved, the relevance of referring a non-concordant profi le to this psychotherapeutic modality is herein discussed.
