Abstract

Objective: Functional somatic disorders (FSD) are extremely common amongst neuropsychiatric and other specialty medicine referrals. Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an emotionally focused form of brief therapy that has been researched and developed specifically for the diagnostic assessment and treatment of FSD, amongst other conditions.

Method: In this publication, we review the ISTDP theoretical underpinnings, the diagnostic assessment, treatment approach and evidence base.

Results: There are now over 50 publications evaluating ISTDP and its effect and processes in FSD. It has been demonstrated efficacious for the spectrum of functional somatic disorders, including chronic pain, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and functional neurological disorders among others. It has further been found more effective than cognitive behavioral therapy in the treatment of chronic pain. Further there is evidence that it is cost-effective in treating these conditions.

Conclusions: ISTDP is a broadly useful clinical tool in the assessment and treatment of FSD.

目的：功能性躯体疾病（FSD）在神经精神病学和其他专科医学转诊中极为常见。强化短期动态心理治疗（ISTDP）是一种专注于情感的短期治疗形式，专门用于FSD的诊断评估和治疗，以及其他疾病。方法：本文综述了ISTDP的理论基础、诊断评估、治疗方法和证据基础。结果：目前有超过50篇论文评价了ISTDP及其在FSD中的作用和过程。它已被证明对功能性躯体疾病的频谱有效，包括慢性疼痛、功能性胃肠疾病和功能性神经疾病等。它在治疗慢性疼痛方面比认知行为疗法更有效。此外，有证据表明，治疗这些疾病具有成本效益。结论：ISTDP在FSD的评估和治疗中是一个广泛有用的临床工具。
