Abstract

Objective: To assess and compare the frequency of psychotherapeutic side effects in different psychotherapeutic approaches.

Method: Side effects were assessed across 17 domains through structured interviews with 45 outpatients in cognitive-behavior, psychodynamic, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Results: Almost every patient (95.6%) reported at least one side effect, with a mean of 4.7 affected domains. Most frequent complaints were that problems were seen as more complex (60.0-80.0%), worsening of pre-existing symptoms (46.7-60%), occurrence of new symptoms (20.0-53.3%), feeling uncomfortable in treatment (33.3-40.0%), tensions with therapist (26.7-46.7%), as well as conflicts with current family and with family of origin (both 13.3-46.7%). Differences between therapeutic orientations were mostly non-significant.

Conclusion: Psychotherapy is regularly accompanied by side effects, independent of different theoretical orientations. Psychotherapists need to be familiar with side effects in order to inform patients about treatment-associated risks and to recognize and manage side effects.

患者对认知行为疗法、心理动力学疗法和精神分析门诊心理疗法副作用的看法。

目的：评估和比较不同心理治疗方法的副作用频率：评估并比较不同心理治疗方法中心理治疗副作用的频率：方法：通过对认知行为疗法、心理动力学疗法和精神分析疗法的 45 名门诊患者进行结构化访谈，对 17 个领域的副作用进行评估：几乎每位患者（95.6%）都报告了至少一种副作用，受影响的领域平均为 4.7 个。最常见的主诉是问题变得更加复杂（60.0%-80.0%）、原有症状恶化（46.7%-60%）、出现新症状（20.0%-53.3%）、在治疗中感到不舒服（33.3%-40.0%）、与治疗师关系紧张（26.7%-46.7%），以及与当前家庭和原生家庭发生冲突（均为 13.3%-46.7%）。不同治疗取向之间的差异大多不显著：结论：心理治疗经常伴有副作用，这与不同的理论取向无关。心理治疗师需要熟悉副作用，以便告知患者与治疗相关的风险，并识别和处理副作用。
