Abstract

Awareness Integration Therapy (AIT) had been documented as a multi-modality psychotherapeutic approach to improve self-awareness, dissolve past traumas and psychological blocks, and cultivate adaptive thinking conducive to learning how to improve self efficiency. The present report highlights the objective neurophysiological outcomes of AIT in a case study. The AIT-recipient was a 28 year-old Filipino female living in Dubai, UAE who presented with relationship-based concerns and anxiety-related symptoms. Over a single-session AIT, the real-time neurobiomarkers were tracked multimodally using established neurophysiological diagnostics. The study also used a 21-channel qEEG (pre-post), focused transcranial Doppler (fTCD) screening, and real-time autonomic nervous system (ANS) biosignal monitoring. Additionally, qualitative subjective outcomes of AIT were assessed for collective analysis. Findings demonstrated that both subjective emotional processing and objective biomarkers of cognitive-affective regulation had a meaningful change during and after the therapeutic intervention. The present case study suggests the viability of using AIT in psychotherapy and encourages its use in future clinical settings, especially when paired with neurophysiological monitoring. Well designed randomized control trials are needed to systematically assess its neurobehavioral substrates in clinical settings.

单次意识整合治疗结果的多模式神经功能评估：一个案例研究。

意识整合疗法（AIT）是一种多模式的心理治疗方法，可以提高自我意识，消除过去的创伤和心理障碍，培养有利于学习如何提高自我效率的适应性思维。本报告在个案研究中强调了AIT的客观神经生理结果。ait接受者是一名居住在阿联酋迪拜的28岁菲律宾女性，她表现出基于关系的担忧和焦虑相关症状。在单次AIT中，实时神经生物标志物使用已建立的神经生理学诊断进行多模态跟踪。该研究还使用了21通道qEEG（前后），聚焦经颅多普勒（fTCD）筛查和实时自主神经系统（ANS）生物信号监测。此外，对AIT的定性主观结果进行评估，以进行集体分析。结果表明，在治疗干预期间和之后，主观情绪加工和客观认知-情感调节生物标志物都发生了有意义的变化。本案例研究表明，在心理治疗中使用AIT的可行性，并鼓励其在未来的临床环境中使用，特别是当与神经生理监测相结合时。需要精心设计的随机对照试验来系统地评估其在临床环境中的神经行为基础。

期刊介绍： Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is an international, interdisciplinary journal devoted to study of the interrelationship of physiological systems, cognition, social and environmental parameters, and health. Priority is given to original research, basic and applied, which contributes to the theory, practice, and evaluation of applied psychophysiology and biofeedback. Submissions are also welcomed for consideration in several additional sections that appear in the journal. They consist of conceptual and theoretical articles; evaluative reviews; the Clinical Forum, which includes separate categories for innovative case studies, clinical replication series, extended treatment protocols, and clinical notes and observations; the Discussion Forum, which includes a series of papers centered around a topic of importance to the field; Innovations in Instrumentation; Letters to the Editor, commenting on issues raised in articles previously published in the journal; and select book reviews. Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is the official publication of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback.
