Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) in reducing anger and suicidal ideation among individuals with suicidal behavior.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used, with 30 participants randomly assigned to an experimental or a medication-only control group. Participants, recently hospitalized in Kermanshah, Iran, because of suicide attempt, were assessed via the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 and the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation at baseline and posttreatment. Treatment began after group assignment.
Results: ISTDP significantly reduced anger (p<0.05) and suicidal ideation (p<0.05), significantly decreasing the likelihood of suicide reattempts.
Conclusions: ISTDP offers promise in combating suicidal thoughts and behaviors, supporting the psychodynamic hypothesis of anger dynamics and inward anger.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1939, the American Journal of Psychotherapy (AJP) has long been a leader in the publication of eclectic articles for all psychotherapists. Transtheoretic in reach (offering information for psychotherapists across all theoretical foundations), the goal of AJP is to present an overview of the psychotherapies, subsuming a host of schools, techniques, and psychological modalities within the larger domain of clinical practice under broad themes including dynamic, behavioral, spiritual, and experiential.
