Einbettung von Brainspotting in Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie nach singulären belastenden/traumatisierenden Erlebnissen
摘要
Assuming that specific eye positions correspond to therapy-relevant stressful experiences, Brainspotting was developed out of EMDR as a treatment to trigger processing via the body. Acquired patterns of stress or trauma reactions can be restructured using affect bridges. Brainspotting can be integrated into the psychotherapeutic method used by the therapist.
The study investigates the effectiveness of Brainspotting combined with cognitive behavioural therapy in a randomised two-arm study (“Brainspotting immediately” vs. “Brainspotting later”).
Early response was significantly higher in the “Brainspotting immediately” group than in those receiving Brainspotting after the early response measurement. At the end of therapy and catamnestically, there were large effects on the IES‑R for both groups. Anxiety and depression symptoms improved significantly and sustainably; the moderator effect of the therapeutic relationship was not confirmed.
The combined use of Brainspotting and cognitive behavioural therapy showed clinically significant effects at an early stage. The generalization of these results is considerably restricted through limitations. Randomized controlled trials are necessary for more evidence-based results.
