简要总结
The aim of this study is to confirm the feasibility of an integrative form of group psychotherapy in treating perfectionism. In a previous pilot study we suggested that this new treatment is safe and feasible, also reporting a significant reduction of perfectionism at final assessment. The intervention integrates the Paul Hewitt relational model of perfectionism and the Paul Gilbert Compassion Focused Therapy. We will explore the feasibility of the proposed group therapy through a three-arm waiting-list randomized controlled trial. Our hypothesis is that those in the treatment groups (either online or in presence format) will show at the end of the intervention a lower level of perfectionsm than those in the control group.
详细描述
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all partecipants giving written informed consent will undergo a psychological assessment so as to determine eligibility for study entry. Patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized in a double-blind manner in a 1:1 ratio to (i) new integrative group psychotherapy through an in presence format, (ii) the same integrative group psychotherapy through an online format, (iii) a waiting-list control group. At the end of active experimental groups treatment (2 months), all the partecipants will have access to the final follow-up assessment.

盲法说明
The study design reflects an external, third-party evaluation. The evaluation team (i.e. the researcers conducting the analysis) will be independent from both the application vendor (i.e. the therapists conducting the intervention) and the recruitment team (i.e. the researchers recruiting and randomly allocating the participants).

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility (adverse events; adherence)
时间窗: 2 measurements: one at baseline assessment; one at final assessment. Initial assessment will be 1 month priori the intervention, the final assessment at the end of the intervention (2 months after the beginning of the intervention).
Feasibility is defined on the basis of two criteria: absence of adverse events (i.e. dropouts; hospitalization; etc.) and adequate adherence (i.e. maximum 1 skipped session per participant)
Betwen-groups effectiveness (perfectionism)
时间窗: 2 measurements: one at baseline assessment; one at final assessment. Initial assessment will be 1 month priori the intervention, the final assessment at the end of the intervention (2 months after the beginning of the intervention).
At the final assessment, the experimental group's Perfectionistic Cognitions Inventory (PCI) scores are significantly lower than those of the control group (the differences in the initial assessment must be insignificant). Higher scores of PCI (ranging between 0 to 100) are indicative of higher perfectionistic worry
次要结局
- Withing-group effectiveness (perfectionism)(2 measurements: one at baseline assessment; one at final assessment. Initial assessment will be 1 month priori the intervention, the final assessment at the end of the intervention (2 months after the beginning of the intervention).)
