ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Dissociation is a psychological process in reaction to threat which can be found in many psychiatric conditions. Dissociative symptoms can become very disabling, whether in daily life or in care. Nevertheless, few studies seem to have examined the efficacy of psychotherapy on the latter and its relevance as a therapeutic target.METHOD:
A systematic review of the literature (PRISMA) on the efficacy of psychotherapy on dissociative symptoms in adults with mental disorders was conducted. Effectiveness was considered in terms of reduction in dissociative symptomatology. The search was conducted on Scopus, PubMed and PsycInfo. Overall, 50 full-text articles were evaluated.RESULTS:
Fourteen studies were included in the review. In all, 711 adult subjects with post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder or dissociative disorder were included. Overall, this systematic review reports a reduction in dissociative symptoms associated with a variety of psychotherapeutic interventions, without allowing any conclusions to be drawn on the superiority of one psychotherapy over another.DISCUSSION:
The conclusions of this work highlight three possible therapeutic orientations for reducing dissociative symptoms (i) by reintegrating the dynamic subsystems, (ii) by treating the cognitive processes underlying dissociation, and (iii) by acting on the processes identified as common to the effectiveness of psychotherapy.
