Abstract

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by both maladaptive thinking and problematic schemas. Kramer and colleagues (2011) showed that using the motive-oriented therapeutic relationship (MOTR), based on the individualized understanding of the patient according to Plan Analysis (Caspar, 2007), can improve treatment outcomes for BPD. The present process-outcome pilot study aimed to examine the effects of the motive-oriented therapeutic relationship on the cognitive biases of patients with BPD. Change in biased cognitions in N=10 patients who were subject to MOTR was compared to that of N=10 patients who received psychiatric-psychodynamic treatment (Gunderson & Links, 2008). Results show a greater decrease in over-generalizations in patients who received MOTR, compared to the patients who received the psychiatric-psychodynamic treatment. These changes were related to outcome in various ways. These findings underline the importance of an individualized case formulation method in bringing about therapeutic change.

邊緣型人格疾患(BPD)具有不適應式思考與不當基模之特徵,Kramer 與同僚 (2011)發現採用動機導向式治療關係(MOTR),依據「計畫分析」(Caspar, 2007) 對每位患者進行個別化了解,可提昇對BPD 的治療效果。本文是歷程—效果 之先驅研究,旨在檢視動機導向式治療關係對BPD 患者之認知偏誤的效果。 比較接受MOTR 之10 名患者,與接受精神科—心理動力取向治療(Gunderson & Links, 2008)之10 名患者在認知偏誤上的改變情形,結果發現接受MOTR 之患 者的過度類化情形,比接受精神科—心理動力式治療之患者有明顯的下降。這 些改變與治療效果有不同面向的關係。研究結果彰顯出以個別化個案概念的方 式促發治療效果的重要性。

Il Disturbo Borderline di Personalità (DBP) è caratterizzato sia da un modo di pensare maladattivo sia da schemi problematici. Kramer e colleghi (2011) hanno mostrato che l'uso della relazione terapeutica scopo-orientata (MOTR), basata sulla comprensione individualizzata del paziente in accordo alla Plan Analysis (Caspar, 2007), può migliorare l'outcome del trattamento per il DBP. Il presente studio pilota esito-processo ha lo scopo di esaminare gli effetti della relazione terapeutica scopo-orientata sui bias cognitivi dei pazienti con DBP. Sono stati comparati i cambiamenti nelle cognizioni distorte di 10 pazienti sottoposti a MOTR con 10 pazienti che hanno ricevuto un trattamento psichiatrico psicodinamico (Gunderson & Links, 2008). I risultati mostrano un maggiore decremento nelle ipergeneralizzazioni dei pazienti sottoposti a MOTR rispetto ai pazienti che hanno ricevuto il trattamento psichiatrico psicodinamico. Questi cambiamenti sono risultati correlati agli outcome in vari modi. Questi risultati sottolineano l'importanza di un metodo di formulazione individuale del caso per indurre un cambiamento terapeutico.

Die Borderline Persönlichkeitsstörung (BPKS) ist durch maladaptives Denken und problematische Schemata gekennzeichnet. Kramer und Kollegen (2011) konnten zeigen, dass die Nutzung der motivorientierten therapeutischen Beziehung (MOTB), welche auf dem inviduellen Verständnis des Patienten nach der Plananlyse basiert, die Behandlungseffekte für BPKS verbessert. Die vorliegende Prozess-Outcome Pilot-Studie versuchte die Effekte der MOTB auf die kognitiven Biases der BPKS Patienten zu untersuchen. Die Veränderungen in kognitiven Biases von N = 10 Patienten, welche mittels MOTB behandelt wurden, wurden mit denen von N = 10 Patienten vergleichen, welche eine psychiatrisch-psychodynamische Behandlung erhielten (Gunderson & Links, 2008). Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen stärkeren Abfall bezüglich Übergeneralisierungen bei Patienten welche mittels MOTB behandelt wurden im Vergleich zu den Patienten, welche die psychiatrisch-psychodynamische Behandlung erfuhren. Diese Veränderungen standen in verschiedener Art und Weise mit dem Therapieergebnis in Verbindung. Die Ergebnisse unterstützen die Wichtigkeit der Methode der individualisierten Fallkonzeption bezüglich therapeutischer Veränderungen.

A Perturbação de Personalidade Borderline (PPB) carateriza-se quer pelo pensamento mal-adaptativo quer pelos esquemas problemáticos. Kramer e colaboradores (2011) demonstraram que a utilização da relação terapêutica orientada pelo motivo (MOTR), baseada na compreensão individualizada do paciente de acordo com o Plan Analysis (Caspar, 2007), pode melhorar o resultado do tratamento para a PPB. O presente estudo piloto de resultado-processo pretendeu examinar os efeitos da relação terapêutica orientada pelo motivo nas distorções cognitivas de pacientes com PPB. Comparou-se a mudança nas distorções cognitivas em 10 pacientes sujeitos ao MOTR com as de 10 pacientes que receberam tratamento psiquiátrico de orientação psicodinâmica (Gunderson & Links, 2008). Os resultados mostraram um maior decréscimo nas sobregeneralizações dos pacientes que receberam o MOTR em comparação com os pacientes que receberam o tratamento psiquiátrico-psicodinâmico. Estas mudanças mostraram-se relacionadas com o resultado terapêutico de diversas formas. Estes resultados salientam a importância de um método individualizado de formulação de caso para alcançar a mudança terapêutica.
