Evaluation Study of the Outcome of Psychosomatic Psychotherapy

Abstract

Research on the outcome of psychotherapy is crucial for advancing clinical practice, especially in the field of psychosomatics, thereby contributing to the well-being of patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated psychosomatic psychotherapy program, both individual and group, through treatment analysis and outcome evaluation three months after the initial consultation. The integrated therapeutic approach includes techniques such as character analysis inspired by the work of Wilhelm Reich and bioenergetic exercises, along with group methodologies such as "The Salons of Wellness" and the use of art therapies such as Dance Movement Therapy and Embodied Creative Aesthetic Experience. Outcome evaluation was conducted through the CORE-OM (Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation) test, a self-report questionnaire investigating four dimensions: Functioning, Problems, Well-being, and Risk. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of integrated treatment and its effects on the psychophysical well-being of patients with psychosomatic and relational problems.
