A Clinical Trial of Psychodynamic-Interactional and Body Therapy in Somatoform Pain Disorders - Positive Interpersonal Experiences for Patients with Early Trauma

Objectives: The aim of this clinical trial was to explore whether psychodynamic-interactional therapy leads to a better outcome in the treatment of somatoform pain disorders when combined with body therapy. Methods: 30 patients diagnosed with this disorder took part in outpatient group therapies with 25 sessions. In the intervention condition, sessions based on psychodynamic-interactional and body therapy took place in weekly change, while in the control condition all sessions were based on psychodynamic-interactional therapy. Data were collected with self-report measures at the beginning and end of therapy and at the 6-months follow-up. Results: Under both conditions somatic and psychological symptoms merely remained stable from the first to the third measurement time. However, patients expressed a high level of satisfaction with the relationships in the group. Conclusions: Contrary to the assumptions, the two therapy conditions did not differ in the treatment outcome. Both conditions proved successful in providing patients with supporting interpersonal experiences.
