Antecedents

In previous works we used the REF scale of referential thinking as criterion of therapeutic evolution (Benítez-Hernández et al., 2006; Rodríguez-Testal et al., 2009).

Objectives and hypotheses

We designed a group therapy of social skills for monitoring and modification of the referential thinking. We predict a decrease of referential thinking (frequency and intensity) both in pretest and posttest measures for each session, as in the progress of the all sessions as a whole.

Methods

Participants: 5 women from 24 to 38 years old with the diagnoses: Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and history of Sexual Abuse; generalized Social Phobia; Avoidance Personality Disorder; Bipolar I Disorder; Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Avoidance Personality Disorder. It's employed a longitudinal design (brief time-series) of REF measurement (frequency and intensity) at a weekly interval. C Young (p < 0.01) was used for the statistical analysis of the data, t (paired samples) and the method of least squares to obtain the trend line.

Results

  • #1: frequency-posttest (p=.01).

  • #2: intensity-pretest (p =.01); intensity-posttest, C =.663 (p< .01).

  • #3: intensity-pretest, C =.772 (p< .01), intensity-posttest, C =.681 (p< .01).

  • #4: frequency-pretest, C =.695 (p< .01), frequency- posttest, C =.74 (p< .01).

  • #5: frequency-pretest and frequency-posttest (p>.01).

Conclusions

Preliminary analysis indicates an improvement of referential thinking in the frequency and intensity both intra and inter-sessions. More therapy sessions are needed to reflect a change statistically significant.
