Gogol,
Var kan man läsa om dessa bevis på att all annan terapi är skadlig?
Det är inte sagt att
all annan terapi är skadlig. Det finns terapier som inte är skadliga men som inte hjälper mot BDD heller. Den enda terapiformen som är
bevisat effektiv mot BDD är KBT. Tyvärr vet jag inte var man kan finna de dokumenterade studierna.
Den terapiform som visat sig förvärra BDD-drabbades tillstånd är den som tydligen kallas psykoanalytisk terapi. Jag klistar in ett par citat från Dr Claiborn:
"PSYCHOANALYSIS
Psychoanalysis is based on a model of how people's minds work that makes a number of assumptions that I don't find credible, and those that are testable are not well supported by research, and some are not stated in a way that allows testing. The assumption that there is some hidden problem that leads to BDD is not one that makes any sense to me, and the search for and attempt to eliminate such things is, in my opinion, likely to be quite risky. The problem in BDD and other obsessional disorders is that people respond to normal intrusive thoughts in a dysfunctional way, which includes giving the thoughts importance. It is this assumption of importance that is at the start of the problem. Psychoanalytic models start with the assumption that such thoughts are important and occur for a reason. There is good evidence that this is not true, so, spending time trying to find out why you have them risks your thinking they must be important, and leading to more problems.
While I certainly hope the therapy you are seeking will help, I have some concerns:
1) There is no evidence that this type of psychotherapy works with BDD or related problems like OCD. Considerable experience trying it for OCD has led most experts to agree that it is not likely to be useful.
2) If the cognitive model of BDD and related disorders is correct, then it is likely that psychoanalytic or similar therapy would actually, make you worse.
3) Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to work for BDD. Given that there is a treatment which has been shown to work, it seems like a questionable decision to try an approach not known to work, before trying the one that is likely to work."
"Psychoanalytic treatment is likely to make BDD worse. Unfortunately there are many people working in mental health who do not understand BDD or how psychoanalytic treatment is likely to worsen the problem rather than to help it."
jag är hursomhelst lite tveksam till dem som menar att det bara finns en väg framåt.
Det finns de som har haft nytta och hjälp av andra terapier (EMDR, NLP, hypnos, DBT mm), vi är ju alla olika och tar till oss saker på olika sätt men som jag förstått så har det inte kunnat bevisas att någon annan terapi än KBT har kunnat bota BDD.
