Abstract

Excoriation disorder (ED) involves uncontrollable skin picking, not explained by a dermatologic or other psychological conditions. ED is associated with emotion regulation impairment, psychosocial distress, and psychiatric comorbidities. This study investigated the efficacy of psychodrama group therapy (PGT) in reducing ED symptoms. A randomized controlled trial compared psychodrama group therapy (PGT, n = 26) and support group therapy (SGT, n = 27) as a control. The comparison included ED severity, psychosocial impact, emotion regulation, depression, anxiety, social adjustment, and general clinical status. Bayesian ANOVA models showed improvement in skin excoriation (BF_incl = 1.15e + 7), emotional regulation (BF_incl = 258.12), depression (BF_incl = 89.73), impact of excoriation (BF_incl = 71.69) and anxiety (BF_incl = 20.27) over time for both groups. PGT was not more effective than SGT, but group psychotherapy is a valuable treatment option for ED.

心理剧团体治疗擦伤障碍：贝叶斯分析的随机对照试验。

刮伤障碍（ED）是指无法控制的皮肤撕裂，不能用皮肤病学或其他心理疾病来解释。ED与情绪调节障碍、社会心理困扰和精神合并症有关。本研究探讨心理剧团体治疗（PGT）减轻ED症状的效果。一项随机对照试验比较心理剧团体治疗（PGT, n = 26）和支持团体治疗（SGT, n = 27）作为对照。比较包括ED严重程度、心理社会影响、情绪调节、抑郁、焦虑、社会适应和一般临床状况。贝叶斯方差分析模型显示，随着时间的推移，两组的皮肤磨破（BFincl = 1.15e + 7）、情绪调节（BFincl = 258.12）、抑郁（BFincl = 89.73）、磨破的影响（BFincl = 71.69）和焦虑（BFincl = 20.27）均有所改善。PGT并不比SGT更有效，但团体心理治疗是ED的一种有价值的治疗选择。
