ABSTRACT

In this paper we paper evaluate the effectiveness of eight sessions of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) for treating obsessive morbid jealousy (OMJ), using a mixed-methods A/B with followup single-case design. Ideographic jealousy measures were collected throughout baseline (2 sessions), treatment (6 sessions) and follow-up phases (one session), creating a 160-day time series. Nomothetic measures were completed at assessment, end of treatment and at followup. A structured qualitative interview was completed. Significant reductions to idiographic jealousy measures occurred during the treatment phase, with these gains maintained over followup. The intensity of the jealousy shifted from moderate to mild and this change was attributed to CAT. Methodological issues and future directions for the treatment of OMJ are discussed.

摘要

在本文中，我们使用混合方法 A/B 和后续单案例设计评估了八次认知分析疗法 (CAT) 治疗强迫性病态嫉妒 (OMJ) 的有效性。在整个基线（2 个疗程）、治疗（6 个疗程）和后续阶段（一个疗程）中收集表意嫉妒措施，创建一个 160 天的时间序列。在评估、治疗结束和随访时完成了常规测量。完成了结构化定性访谈。在治疗阶段显着减少了具体的嫉妒措施，这些收益在随访期间保持不变。嫉妒的强度从中等变为轻度，这种变化归因于 CAT。讨论了 OMJ 治疗的方法学问题和未来方向。
