Detailed Description:
This study is designed to measure specific long-term effects of transference interpretations in dynamic psychotherapy using an experimental dismantling design One hundred psychiatric out-patients referred to seven study therapists to receive exploratory dynamic psychotherapy were randomized to one year weekly dynamic psychotherapy with and without transference interpretationsThey suffered from moodanxietyand personality disorders or interpersonal problems not due to a mental disorder All treatment sessions were audiotaped and treatment integrity carefully checkedAll patients have been evaluated before treatment after treatment one year after termination of treatment and three years after termination of treatment The main outcome measures were the Psychodynamic Functioning Scales PFS and Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex version IIP-CChang over time is assessed using linear mixed model analyses
The main hypothesis is that patients treated with transference interpretations will have a more favourable course over the whole study period of four years
The second hypothesis is that suitable patients that is patients with a life long pattern of more mature object relations QOR andor patients without comorbid personality disorders will do better with transference interpretations
Insight and identification with the therapist will be analyzed as putative mediators of long-term change in interpersonal functioning
