Abstract

Several psychotherapeutic interventions are recommended for Eating Disorders (EDs), chiefly individual cognitive-behavioral therapy and family-based treatments. Manualized individual psychodynamic treatments are recommended for adults with Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Evaluation of psychodynamic group treatments in treating EDs requires further assessment, and recent reviews focused only marginally on this topic. To fill this gap, a narrative review through APA PsychInfo, PubMed and Scopus was carried out. Psychodynamic group treatments appear to improve some ED symptoms at the end of the treatment; however, most of the studies cited were not manualized and lacked control groups and follow-ups. The differences in therapeutic methods and the criteria used to measure remission across the studies included, as well as the incorporation of diverse interventions (including psychodynamic group therapy and elements of BT/CBT or psychoeducation), create difficulties when it comes to forming conclusive judgments about the effectiveness of psychodynamic group therapies for Eating Disorders. The need for more rigorous research and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) is evident.

针对进食障碍的心理动力学团体疗法：叙事回顾

建议对进食障碍（ED）采取多种心理治疗干预措施，主要是个人认知行为疗法和家庭治疗。对于患有神经性厌食症（AN）的成年人，建议采用手册化的个体心理动力学治疗。心理动力学团体治疗在治疗厌食症方面的评估需要进一步的评估，而最近的综述对这一主题的关注甚少。为了填补这一空白，我们通过 APA PsychInfo、PubMed 和 Scopus 进行了叙述性综述。心理动力学团体治疗在治疗结束时似乎能改善一些 ED 症状；然而，所引用的大多数研究都没有手册，也缺乏对照组和随访。这些研究的治疗方法和衡量缓解程度的标准各不相同，而且还采用了不同的干预措施（包括心理动力学团体疗法、BT/CBT 或心理教育元素），因此，要对心理动力学团体疗法治疗进食障碍的效果做出结论性判断是很困难的。显然，需要进行更严格的研究和随机对照试验（RCT）。
