The purpose of the present study was to investigate young adults’ experiences of brief dynamic interpersonal therapy (DIT). Six young adults (19–25 years old) who had undergone DIT at the Psychology Clinic at Stockholm University and the Erica Foundation in Stockholm were interviewed about their experiences of therapy and the changes that therapy may have brought about. The results showed that after therapy the respondents had better understanding of their feelings and better capacity to set and manage boundaries in relationships. The changes described by the respondents mainly concerned relationships and were perceived as highly important for them. Regarding specific aspects of DIT, their views diverged. In future research, we suggest that DIT’s interpersonal affective focus may be of particular interest, especially in relation to the therapeutic alliance.

年轻人经历的动态人际关系治疗

本研究的目的是调查年轻人的简短动态人际关系疗法（DIT）的经验。接受了斯德哥尔摩大学心理诊所和斯德哥尔摩埃里卡基金会（Erica Foundation）接受DIT治疗的六名年轻成年人（19-25岁）的采访，了解了他们的治疗经验以及治疗可能带来的变化。结果表明，接受治疗后，受访者对自己的感受有了更好的了解，并具有建立和管理人际关系界限的能力。受访者描述的变化主要涉及关系，并被认为对他们非常重要。关于DIT的特定方面，他们的意见分歧。在未来的研究中，我们建议DIT的人际情感关注重点可能特别重要，
