简要总结
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of online systematic brief psychodynamic psychotherapy (SBPP) via HIPAA compliant web conferencing on adults with neurotic disorders.
Design: Randomized controlled trial. Single blind.
Setting: Internet users in the community, in São Paulo, Brazil.
Participants: Thirty-two adults will be randomly allocated to a group will receive online systematic brief psychodynamic psychotherapy (n=16), or a waiting list group (n=16).
Method: Systematic adaptative diagnosis system will be applied in both groups at pre-treatment and post-treatment (or post-waiting list). Assessment will be a comparison of the adaptative diagnosis evolution between groups.
Primary Outcomes: The subjects treated with online brief systematic psychodynamic psychotherapy will present an increase in their adaptative efficacy measured by systematic adaptative diagnosis scale (SADS) in comparison to the waiting list group, when contrasting their initial and final adaptative diagnostics.
