Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Group schema therapy (GST) is proven to be effective in the treatment of various personality disorders, social anxiety disorder, eating disorders or depression. The majority of these studies have compared GST to waiting list, treatment as usual or other less complex therapeutic approaches. However, to date, comparison to group cognitive behavior therapy (GCBT) has been understudied.

Aims: Comparison of the effectiveness of GST to GCBT in a 4-week-long inpatient setting on mixed population.

Method: The study was conducted at the Psychotherapeutic Rehabilitation Unit of Semmelweis University, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy in Budapest, Hungary. A total of 267 patients (37,97±13,269) were enrolled in the study, comprising of 81 male and 186 female participants, with primary diagnosis of personality disorder. 90 patients have received GCBT, 177 patients have received GST. Our main outcome measure was the Personality Inventory for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fifth Edition (PID-5), a 220-item self-report inventory designed to assess personality characteristics on 5 main factors and 25 traits, which was assessed at the beginning and at the end of our 4-week-long inpatient treatment program. A dependent t-test was performed and effect size was calculated (Cohen’s d). Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 21.

Results: Patients receiving GCBT have shown medium effect size (d>0.5) on Depressivity and Withdrawal traits. Patients receiving GST have demonstrated strong effect sizes (d>0.8) on Distractibility and Perseveration traits, medium effect sizes (d>0.5) on Callousness, Depressivity, Eccentricity, Emotional Lability, Irresponsibility and Risk taking traits, and on the main factors of Disinhibition and Psychoticism, and small effect sizes (d>0.2) on the Unusual beliefs and experiences trait and on the Negative affectivity main factor.

Conclusion: While GCBT is an effective treatment method for anxiety disorders and depression, it does not seem to induce personality change. GST, on the other hand, may induce change on various personality traits. This finding implies that for the treatment of personality disorders experiential techniques added to cognitive techniques render psychotherapy more effective, compared to methods using cognitive techniques solely.
