Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis found that long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (LTPP) is more effective than shorter therapies in improving overall mental health, target issues, and personality functioning, especially for patients with complex mental disorders like personality disorders and chronic depression or anxiety.
  • The study reviewed 23 research studies involving 1053 patients from 1960 to 2008, including both randomized controlled trials and observational studies, and used measurable outcomes to evaluate effectiveness.
  • Results indicated that patients who underwent LTPP showed significantly better outcomes at the end of therapy and during follow-up, with a large effect size suggesting that nearly all patients improved more than those in comparison groups.

@9iGrCxr9heO8eFz @Peonichka Наша любимая рубрика "спрашивали - отвечаем". "Мета-анализ 23 исследований показал, что долгосрочная психоаналитическая терапия (LTPP) превосходит краткосрочные подходы (включая КПТ) в долгосрочной перспективе." https://t.co/zKNTYAHuX1 Таких исследований немало.
