Abstract

Previous research has highlighted many of the challenges faced by individuals with psychosis in romantic relationships. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of a novel group intervention for men with first-episode psychosis (FEP) on dating success, romantic and sexual functioning, self-esteem, self-stigma, mentalizing skills, and symptomatology, while using a repeated single-case experimental design and comparing results across two treatment modalities (i.e., in-person or online). Twenty-seven participants from five treatment sites completed a 12-week group intervention. Qualitative data was also collected to assess participants' subjective experiences with the program. In both modalities, significant improvements were observed for romantic functioning, mentalizing skills, and symptomatology, with effect sizes ranging from small to large. Several participants also attended more dates and entered committed relationships after the intervention. Most participants were satisfied with the program and many felt that they had learned new skills and gained confidence in dating. Future research should replicate these findings in larger and more inclusive samples.

改善有首发精神病的年轻男性的恋爱关系功能:一种新型团体干预的影响。

之前的研究强调了在恋爱关系中精神病患者所面临的许多挑战。本研究旨在评估一种针对首发精神病(FEP)男性患者的新型群体干预对约会成功、浪漫和性功能、自尊、自我羞耻感、心理技能和症状学的影响，同时采用重复的单例实验设计，并比较两种治疗方式(即面对面或在线)的结果。来自五个治疗地点的27名参与者完成了为期12周的小组干预。还收集了定性数据，以评估参与者对该计划的主观体验。在两种治疗方式中，观察到在浪漫功能、心智化技能和症状学方面的显著改善，效果大小不等。一些参与者也参加了更多的约会，并在干预后建立了稳定的关系。大多数参与者都对这个项目感到满意，许多人觉得他们学到了新的技巧，对约会有了信心。未来的研究应该在更大、更具包容性的样本中重复这些发现。

期刊介绍： For two decades, researchers and practitioners have turned to Behavior Modification for current scholarship on applied behavior modification. Starting in 1995, in addition to keeping you informed on assessment and modification techniques relevant to psychiatric, clinical, education, and rehabilitation settings, Behavior Modification revised and expanded its focus to include treatment manuals and program descriptions. With these features you can follow the process of clinical research and see how it can be applied to your own work. And, with Behavior Modification, successful clinical and administrative experts have an outlet for sharing their solutions in the field.
