SURPRISE: THE PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS


A series of international surveys confirms this: there are only spontaneous remissions and drugs. But it has not identified a type of approach, from psychodynamic to the system which prevails over all others.
E 'useful to use the psychoanalyst or psychotherapist? Or is it better when you are anxious, insecure, depressed, or fall prey to an obsession turn to drugs?


We believe that the psychoanalytic cure or remission, if any, is linked to the passage of time and so spontaneous? And again: how to orient in the wide variety of schools and therapeutic approaches on the market? Methods are more effective than others?


Methodology


answers these questions an interesting article published in "Contemporary Psychology" magazine "historical" of Italian psychologists. The author, Mauro Fornaro, explains how at the end of the sixties were born - also under pressure from insurance companies and national health services that invest their money in psychotherapy or - of the international associations with branches in several Western countries, including Italy, too. Institutional role of these associations is to take care of psychotherapy research, promoting s Tubes able to follow the therapeutic process from beginning to end.


The survey method used in these studies is as complex as rigorous and now we have responses rather interesting and somewhat 'surprising. A first result, consensus is that psychotherapies have a certain success rate above the spontaneous remissions . For each disease in question, in fact, the effects are significantly higher than control groups, or at least equal or superior to treatment with psychotropic drugs, which still make more lasting effects. 60-80% of cases treated show significant improvements.


If you then use magnetic resonance imaging and other techniques to explore the brain, is a combination of psychotherapy between success and significant changes in the functioning of brain areas involved .

Needless to say, this result provides a substantial shot in the arm to all those who engage in psychotherapy, whose effectiveness was questioned by the pioneering research conducted in the fifties by the psychologist Hans Eysenck.


intriguing result


The second result is more intriguing and surprising. Comparing the results from research conducted on treatment programs conducted with different techniques and approaches (psychodynamic-psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic-existential, systemic-relational, etc..) Has revealed that there 'is evidence that one approach is superior to another. On this point, the researchers would be worth the Dodo bird verdict (a character Alice in Wonderland): "Everybody has won, and each deserves an award."


But if the technical school are not determinative of the success of treatment, q then and what are the factors that contribute most to the success of treatment? More than the specific factors, namely the method and treatment techniques, that accounts for no more than 8%, the curative effect depends largely on the f actors nonspecific. T wings factors consist mainly in the therapist: its experience, your talent, his human qualities of listening and availability and also in the quality of the relationship that develops between him and the patient . A key factor would be the so-called therapeutic alliance, " ie a mix of trust of the patient against the therapist's empathic availability of the latter and, above all, the feeling el 'commitment by both sides to work together towards a common goal.


Link deep


Although it is not friendship, what unites the patient to the therapist is a deep connection that allows the patient to speak freely without feeling judged or criticized. These feelings of being involved in a relationship stable, secure, honest, non-coercive and "nutritious" inside which can be expressed spontaneously, without having to suffer the consequences. In this climate, he begins to ask questions about what he does not know himself, which feeds his interest and his commitment el or port to start thinking differently coming from habitual patterns.

areas in the brain responsible for perception of the body

Rome, April 21 (Reuters) - identified in the brain, 'puppet' which cleverly moves the body, and the areas that 'light' in the spatial perception of body , namely those parts that allow us to place our body in space is that that of other people. The discovery, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, and 'a collaboration between the International School for Advanced Studies (ISAS) in Trieste, the Institute for accommodation and care of a scientific' E. Medea 'of San Vito al Tagliamento (Pn) and the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine of Julich in Germany. The research findings, the researchers said, could have interesting implications in various fields: from rehabilitation robotics.

The study, by means of neuroimaging techniques, showed that such activities are secondary somatosensory cortex and the posterior intraparietal sulcus, two areas which we know very little. But while the intraparietal sulcus and 'more results' times to be involved in different activities' brain, the secondary somatosensory cortex is a news' absolute.

"All the information so far available on this brain region - said Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua, a neuroscientist at Sissa, who signed the search - they saw involved in the development of tactile features, such as those obtained through the manipulation of objects and involving more 'body parts, such as two different hands or fingers of the same hand. "

"It 's obvious - go to the expert - who, to put together this information in a meaningful way, the secondary somatosensory cortex must know the position that the various parts of the body have to each other. No, pero' , yet was still able to tie that knowledge to this area. "

Using magnetic resonance imaging, neuroscientists have thus' noted that the secondary somatosensory cortex was activated in the absence of tactile stimuli, when the test subjects gave judgments related to the position space of the body, a dimension that allows the brain to understand the placement of a body part than the rest.

"We borrowed from experimental psychology paradigms of mental rotation and we have used in an experiment, which saw involved 20 people and right-handed male - says Corradi Dell'Acqua - we asked them, after showing him the photo of a hand, to tell us if it were the right or the left and then we measured the brain response. In this way we were able to identify two areas involved. "

WHY SPACE 'A NEW BLOG?


The blog has become a useful tool for network communication and for this reason I decided to create one that would be an autonomous space to explore themes related the psychology and psychotherapy. I am a psychotherapist who has chosen the person-centered approach that references Carl Rogers.

The blog will be an interface on my website www.ilmiopsicoterapeuta.it where you can find information about my training and my career, and a range of content relating to individual psychotherapy, couples and groups.

A blog where you do not speak only of Pathology, because psychotherapy is primarily a journey of personal growth, which does not necessarily have to contextualize them in a situation of discomfort.

Within the blog, there will be news on the latest scientific research proposals with a lay language, insights into specific aspects of the therapeutic relationship, personal contributions, reports of seminars, organized by me or other colleagues.

All this in order to assist in the proper dissemination of a culture foreign to psychological clichés that too often "pollute" the collective imagination related to the psychology profession.

Inside Blog I plugged the opportunity to interact with readers, offering surveys on topics of interest, I chose this instrument is not certain to increase the level of attractiveness of the blog, but rather to offer readers the opportunity to express his opinion and, simultaneously, get feedback on the level of detection sensitivity around these issues.

The multiplicity of sources of information made available by the network have greatly expanded the opportunities for psychological literacy, on the other hand, however, without careful verification of their credibility is the risk of "crushing" of knowledge and its trivialization as often happens when these issues are addressed by pseudo experts in the pages of women's magazines or other popular magazines.

I am absolutely convinced that the image of our profession, should be expanded considerably in its authority and firmly based on respect for ethical principles that protect patients / clients from any form of abuse.
