ABSTRACT
Resumen Objetivo: Basado en la falta de medidas que permitan evaluar la mentalización como variable de proceso en psicoterapias con adolescentes, el siguiente estudio apunta a presentar el diseño de un sistema observacional para evaluar el despliegue de esta variable tanto en pacientes como en terapeutas. Método: mediante el proceso de codificación abierta de la teoría fundamentada y análisis temático de tres niveles, se analizó el despliegue de la mentalización tanto en terapeutas como en pacientes en 10 episodios de ruptura y 10 episodios de resolución elegidos aleatoriamente de cinco psicoterapias con adolescentes. Resultados: A partir del análisis efectuado se desarrolló un sistema observacional de seis dimensiones emergentes (foco en los estados mentales, opacidad de los estados mentales, comunicación contingente, causalidad de los estados mentales, naturaleza dinámica de los estados mentales y foco en el momento presente) denominado "Sistema de Observación de la mentalización en Psicoterapia con adolescentes" (OMP-A) que permite evaluar cuantitativamente la mentalización de terapeutas y pacientes. Discusión y conclusiones: el OMP-A es un instrumento que responde a debilidades de otros sistemas para evaluar mentalización en psicoterapia con adolescentes, permitiendo la observación de aspectos lingüísticos y paralingüísticos del mentalizar y toma en consideración aspectos particulares que caracterizan las intervenciones con adolescentes. Se discute su posible uso para la formación y supervisión en psicoterapia, y los desafíos metodológicos para desarrollos futuros.
Abstract Objective: Based on the need for measures for assessing mentalization in adolescent psychotherapy, this study aims to design an observational system to evaluate the deployment of reflective function in both patients and therapists during psychotherapy sessions. Method: 10 episodes of rupture and 10 episodes of resolution randomly chosen within 5 videotaped and transcribed psychotherapies were analyzed using grounded theory "s open coding procedure and a three-level thematic analysis. Results: An observational system with 6 emergent dimensions (focus on mental states, opacity of mental states, contingent communication, causality of mental states, dynamic nature of mental states and focus on the present moment) and a 5-point scale was developed. Discussion and conclusions: The "Observational System for mentalization adolescent psychotherapy" (OMP-A) is an instrument that responds to certain weaknesses of other instruments by considering linguistic and paralinguistic aspects of mentalization and particular aspects that characterize interventions with adolescents. It "s possible use for training and supervision is discussed as well as some methodological challenges for future research.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of mentalization based treatment on the negative emotion such as anxiety,depression and chronic drug craving among methamphetamine addicts.Methods Totally 612 methamphetamine addicts in 6 compulsory isolated detoxification center of Liaoning served as the study subjects and randomly divided into the experimental group (mentalization based treatment group) and control group,306 cases in each group.The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAD,Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Drug Craving Inventory were used to evaluate the anxiety,depression and chronic craving in the two groups.Results The scores of BAI,BDI and Drug Craving Inventory after mentalization base treatment in the experimental group were decreased compared with those of before intervention (P＜0.05).The declining trend of the scores of BAI,BDI and Drug Craving Inventory after intervention in the experimental group were more significant than that in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mentalization based treatment can improve the negative emotions such as anxiety and depression to some extent,and reduces the chronic drug craving among methamphetamine drug addicts.
