ABSTRACT

We present The Couple's Tree of Life (CTOL) as a new collective narrative methodology to strengthen couple relationships and prevent conflicts. The CTOL, based on the tree of life methodology (Ncube & Denborough, Tree of Life, mainstreaming psychosocial care and support: a manual for facilitators, REPSSI, 2007), aims to reinforce the identity and strengths of the couple. We explain the CTOL implementation process and illustrate it step by step with a group of 14 adult heterosexual Caucasian couples who belonged to Protestant churches in Madrid (Spain). As a way to assess its usefulness before applying the CTOL to other groups of couples, we conducted a pre-post evaluation using the Dyadic Adjustment Scale of Spanier(1976). We found an improvement in dyadic adjustment, quality, understanding of, and satisfaction with, the relationship. The results, though not generalizable at this stage, suggest that the CTOL could reinforce the couple's identity while maintaining individual identities. We also discuss the possible applications of couples therapy.


Presentamos El árbol de la vida de la pareja (CTOL, por sus siglas en inglés) como una nueva metodología narrativa colectiva, con el fin de fortalecer las relaciones de pareja y para la prevención de conflictos. El CTOL, basado en la metodología del árbol de la vida (Ncube & Denborough, Tree of Life, mainstreaming psychosocial care and support: a manual for facilitators, REPSSI, 2007), tiene como finalidad reforzar la identidad y las fortalezas de la pareja. Explicamos el proceso de implementación del CTOL y lo ejemplificamos paso a paso con un grupo de 14 parejas heterosexuales caucásicas adultas que pertenecían a iglesias protestantes en Madrid (España). Como forma de evaluar su utilidad antes de aplicar el CTOL a otros grupos de parejas, realizamos una evaluación previa y posterior utilizando la Escala de Ajuste Diádico de Spanier (1976). Hallamos una mejora en el ajuste diádico, en la calidad, en la comprensión de la relación y en la satisfacción con esta. Los resultados, aunque no son generalizables en esta etapa, sugieren que el árbol de la vida de la pareja podría reforzar la identidad de la pareja y a la vez mantener las identidades individuales. También explicamos las posibles aplicaciones a la terapia de pareja.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El presente estudio trató de analizar el papel de la depresión y la impulsividad en la psicopatología de la bulimia nerviosa (BN). Materiales y métodos. Se examinó a 70 mujeres con un diagnóstico de bulimia nerviosa basado en la cuarta revisión del Manual diagnóstico y estadístico de los trastornos mentales (DSM-IV), subtipo purgativo, para los síntomas relacionados con el trastorno de la conducta alimentaria, insatisfacción corporal, síntomas afectivos, impulsividad y rasgos de personalidad. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron métodos de análisis factorial y de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados. La BN se presentó como un proceso que incorporaba 5 dimensiones generales: a) episodios recurrentes de gran voracidad o «atracones» y conductas compensadoras; b) conducta alimentaria restrictiva; c) insatisfacción corporal; d) rasgos de personalidad disocial; y e) una agrupación (cluster) de características que se denominó «inestabilidad emocional». Las 5 dimensiones obtenidas pueden agruparse en 2 factores básicos: insatisfacción corporal/conducta alimentaria y rasgos de personalidad/psicopatología. El primero contiene los ítems clínicos utilizados para la definición de la BN como proceso clínico en el DSM-V y la Clasificación Internacional de las Enfermedades, y refleja la morfología y la gravedad de los síntomas relacionados con la conducta alimentaria. La segunda dimensión incluye una agrupación de síntomas (síntomas depresivos, impulsividad y rasgos límite de personalidad [borderline]), conducta autodestructiva y disocial) que podrían considerarse como la «base psicopatológica de la bulimia nerviosa» y pueden condicionar su curso y su pronóstico (AU)


Introduction. The study aimed to analyze the role of depression and impulsivity in the psychopathology of bulimia nervosa (BN). aterials and methods. Seventy female patients with DSM-IV BN, purging subtype, were assessed for eating-related symptoms, body dissatisfaction, affective symptoms, impulsivity, and personality traits. Factor analysis and structural equation modeling methods were used for statistical analysis. Results. BN appeared as a condition which incorporated 5 general dimensions: a) binge eating and compensatory behaviours; b) restrictive eating; c) body dissatisfaction; d) dissocial personality traits; and e) a cluster of features which was called «emotional instability» The 5 obtained dimensions can be grouped into 2 basic factors: body dissatisfaction/eating behaviour and personality traits/psychopathology. The first one contains the clinical items used for the definition of BN as a clinical condition in the DSM-V and the International Classification of Diseases 10, and reflects the morphology and the severity of the eating-related symptoms. The second dimension includes a cluster of symptoms (depressive symptoms, impulsivity, and borderline, self-defeating and dissocial personality traits) which could be regarded as the «psychopathological core» of BN and may be able to condition the course and the prognosis of BN (AU)
