Abstract:

SUMMARYThe assessment and management of violent behaviour in mentally disordered patients are no longer the sole domain of forensic psychiatrists, but are increasingly part of the day-to-day work of all psychiatrists and mental health professionals. Violence risk assessment has become a huge industry, and although the importance of dynamic, as well as actuarial, risk factors is now recognised, a more systematic approach exploring the psychodynamics in the aetiology, assessment and treatment of violent behaviour is often lacking. In this article I revisit some of the key psychodynamic principles and concepts relevant to an understanding of violence, summarising the historical contributions of key psychoanalytic writers on violence and aggression, and exploring the ideas of more contemporary writers working in the field of forensic psychotherapy. A psychodynamic framework for working with violent patients is introduced, focusing on the setting and containment, specific therapeutic interventions and monitoring countertransference reactions.LEARNING OBJECTIVES•Understand historical and contemporary psychoanalytic theories of the aetiology of aggression and violence•Utilise a psychodynamic framework for working with violent patients and offenders•Understand the use of countertransference in the risk assessment and treatment of violenceDECLARATION OF INTERESTNone.

Abstract:

ObjectiveThere are three well-known theories of psychodynamic of suicide: Freud's (suicide as a result of displacement of murderous impulses from a love object that are directed toward an internalized object), Menninger's (wish to destroy the lives of the survivors) and Fenichel's (fulfillment of reunion whish with a lost loved figure).MethodsWe described results from an empirical study of psychodynamic concepts of suicidal behavior in the sample consists of 30 hospitalized persons following a suicide attempt by self poising treaded at Clinic for toxicology in Military Medical Academy Belgrade Serbia.ResultsIn the view of three well-known theories of psychodynamic of suicide we presented some vignettes that described each of the theory.ConclusionsTo put suicide attempt in a psychodynamic context, clinicians must understand psychodynamic of suicide behavior, which can help them in their work with patients’ crisis intervention

Abstract:

Sigmund Freud, the famous Viennese founder of psychoanalysis, suffered from recurrent episodes of severe headache. Autobiographic and biographic data make it evident that he had migraine. Freud's theoretical approaches to pain in general and to migraine in particular are discussed. Initially, Freud's theories on the etiopathogenesis of pain and migraine focused on neurophysiological hypotheses which are of historical interest. They were replaced by psychodynamic hypotheses which are still important for our current understanding of pain and headache. These psychodynamic pain theories are reviewed and their importance for headache research is discussed.

Abstract:

For over half a century, systems psychodynamic scholars have been ‘sexting’ organization science, in short quips and long form, with mixed reception. This article chronicles their ambivalent relationship and argues that making it closer and more overt would benefit organization theory and organizations. It begins by tracing the history of using science as a cover for an instrumental ideology in organizations and their study. It is a history, the article contends, that is repeating itself with the advance of algorithmic capitalism. The article makes the case for a systems psychodynamic stance as a form of progress and protest, a way to embrace science’s methodical pursuit of truth while countering its dehumanizing potential. Taking this stance, it argues, might lead to more humane organization studies. That is, to more meaningful accounts of, and more useful theories about, the issues facing organizations, organizing, and the organized today. Finally, the article elaborates how systems psychodynamics can help humanize three areas of scholarship – those on identities, leadership, and institutions – and concludes with a call for celebrating, rather than tolerating, subjectivity in organization theory.

Two theoretical positions in psychiatry, the psychodynamic and the biological are explored, as seen in a discussion at the conference mentioned. It is argued that they form part of a wider philosophical debate between idealism and materialism, which is explored with reference to ideas about substance and then using psychodynamic and biological theories of depression. Double aspect theory is presented as a pragmatic solution adopted by the profession.

Abstract:

This article explores distinctions between different approaches to music therapy and how these distinctions might be relevant to clinical practice. The article adopts an exploratory subjective stance, with the author exploring the relevance of a perceived distinction between ‘music-centred’ and ‘psychodynamic’ music therapy, as described in the literature, to their own clinical practice. A series of clinical vignettes, taken from work with children and young people, are used to illustrate the influence of both psychodynamic and music-centred theories on clinical practice in context. An integrative client-centred approach is proposed, where psychodynamic thinking and music-centred ideas can be incorporated as needed, according to the individual needs of each client.

Abstract:

Summary The complex processes and phenomena that are taking place in the contemporary world require new and adequate methods of acting also in the area of management. This means the need for a fresh approach to the process of organization development and change. This paper presents the key concepts stemming from the psychoanalytic approach to organization and management. Its main aim is to discuss the major categories (concepts) derived from psychoanalytic theories, which pertain to the issues related to organizational change. Theoretical considerations are complemented by presentation of the data collected during interviews with managers from the examined organization and identification of the defence mechanisms of representatives of the organization’s management.

Full text

Abstract:

Hoarding is a disorder that has only recently begun to be understood by researchers and clinicians. This disorder has been examined from a biopsychosocial perspective and has features that overlap with obsessive-compulsive disorder as well as some unique characteristics. Hoarding disorder is widespread and maybe related to the evolution of collecting and storing resources among humans and other animals. While there have been a number of non-analytic theories related to hoarding and its treatment, psychoanalytic thinkers have rarely described the disorder or explored its underlying psychodynamics. Beginning with Freud, it is possible to understand hoarding in relationship to the vicissitudes of the anal stage of development. However, loss of a loved object, especially loss of the mother, can play an important role in the development of hoarding behavior in adults. The hoarding of inanimate items, examined from a developmental object-relations perspective, appears to involve transitional phenomena. Animal hoarding also involves transitional phenomena, but animals, which can serve as animated transitional objects, also have a repetition compulsion function. These psychodynamic characteristics are relevant for establishing a working transference with the analyst or therapist, in order to promote positive therapeutic outcomes.

Full text

Abstract:

Traditionally treated with wariness, drug addictions have provoked a serious interest in psychodynamically oriented clinicians in recent decades. This paper discusses the development of contemporary psychodynamic conceptualizations of addictions, focusing specifically on mentalization-based theories. The concept of mentalization refers to a complex form of self-regulation which includes attribution of psychological meaning to one’s own behavior and affective states, as well as those of the others. We hypothesize that drug-addicted patients have severe impairments in mentalizing, associated with developmental deficits, characteristic for the borderline personality disorder and psychosomatic conditions. Psychodynamic models of mentalization and their corresponding research operationalizations are reviewed, and implications for a contemporary understanding of drug addictions and psychotherapy are drawn. The authors propose that mentalization-oriented theories provide an adequate conceptualization, which is open to empirical testing and has clear and pragmatic guidelines for treatment.

Abstract:

Psychoanalysis has produced important theories that help explain the radical alterations in self-experience central for persons experiencing psychosis. These concepts have led to important clinical developments, case studies, and some research on the efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy for psychosis (Gottdiener, 2006). However, psychodynamic psychotherapy has struggled to produce operationalized constructs to measure how it enhances self-development and the therapeutic mechanisms of action that facilitate these changes. Outside of psychoanalysis, some researchers have focused on the construct of metacognition (i.e. thinking about thinking) and its relevance to understanding psychosis. Proponents of this paradigm have created an integrative, exploratory therapy (MERIT, Lysaker & Klion, 2017) that blends various therapeutic traditions that overlap with psychodynamic psychotherapy and mentalization (Ridenour, Knauss, & Hamm, 2019). In this paper, we will present a short-term intensive case study of psychodynamic psychotherapy with a young man experiencing psychosis in residential treatment and then analyze the therapy through the lens of metacognition to provide constructs that illustrate the ways that it promotes recovery and self-integration.

Abstract:

ObjectivesA comprehensive overview of the evidence for factors derived from leading psychological theories of the onset of major depressive disorder (MDD) that underpin psychological interventions is scarce . We aimed to systematically investigate the prospective evidence for factors derived from the behavioural, cognitive, diathesis–stress, psychodynamic and personality-based theories for the first onset of MDD.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsDatabases PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane and Embase and published articles were systematically searched from inception up to August 2019. Prospective, longitudinal studies that investigated theory-derived factors before the first onset of MDD, established by a clinical interview, were included. Screening, selection and data extraction of articles were conducted by two screeners. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria were used to estimate level of confidence and risk of bias. Meta-analysis was conducted using random-effects models and mixed-method subgroup analyses.Primary and secondary outcome measuresEffect size of a factor predicting the onset of MDD (OR, risk ratio or HR).ResultsFrom 42 133 original records published to August 2019, 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were only available for the cognitive (n=6585) and personality-based (n=14 394) theories. Factors derived from cognitive theories and personality-based theories were related to increased odds of MDD onset (pooled OR=2.12, 95% CI: 1.12 to 4.00; pooled OR=2.43, 95% CI: 1.41 to 4.19). Publication bias and considerable heterogeneity were observed.ConclusionThere is some evidence that factors derived from cognitive and personality-based theories indeed predict the onset of MDD (ie, dysfunctional attitudes and negative emotionality). There were no studies that prospectively studied factors derived from psychodynamic theories and not enough studies to examine the robust evidence for behavioural and diathesis–stress theories. Overall, the prospective evidence for psychological factors of MDD is limited, and more research on the leading psychological theories is needed.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017073975.

Abstract:

Three main themes of classical and contemporary psychodynamic theories of therapy are reviewed and their application to intervention with the bereaved is considered: 1) The unconscious experience of bereaved individuals following loss is a central aspect of psychodynamic therapy as it addresses drive, defense and conflict. 2) The bereaved's self- and other-focused relational schema are considered under the object-relations paradigm. 3) The transference relationship in therapy of the bereaved must make allowances for the bereaved's involvement with the deceased. The application of these aspects of theory to the specifics of working with bereaved individuals is explored in the therapy of a young man bereft of his father.

Abstract:

The therapeutic relationship is an important factor in the outcome of psychotherapy, and this has been a factor that underpins the development of counselling psychology. While aspects of therapeutic relationship can be referred to as ‘non-specific’ components of the therapy, there are different ways of understanding these components.This paper focuses on the ‘trust’ aspect of the therapeutic relationship. Psychodynamic theories put the relationship between the client and therapist at the centre of the therapeutic encounter and this relationship is considered to be the vehicle for change. Knowledge of psychodynamic concepts about the therapeutic relationship is crucial for the counselling psychology practitioner to understand what is happening between client and therapist.

Both researchers and practitioners have demonstrated considerable interest in identity development, and positive personal identities have been associated with numerous positive mental health outcomes. However, major theories of identity development have neglected the salience of spiritual identity, even though the early work of William James placed this as a central component of personality. This article reviews four major theories of identity development (cognitive, psychodynamic, systems, and narrative) and suggests spiritual identity parallels to these theories. A tentative model of spiritual identity development is presented. Implications for therapy and future research concerning spiritual identity development are discussed.

Abstract:

IntroductionObesity is one of the leading problems of today’s society. According to WHO, 650 million people worldwide are obese, which is 13% of total population (in Croatia 21.5%). There are various psychodynamic theories that interpret the psychological aspects of obesity.ObjectivesThe aim of this paper is to present psychodynamic and contemporary psychiatric concepts that explain the interrelated phenomena presenting in obese patients.MethodsThe review of the literature included the investigation of the existing studies in the field of modern psychiatry, as well as previous knowledge in the field of psychodynamics.ResultsObesity is associated with the emptiness of not recognizing one’s own emotions from hunger, and the need for constant replacement. The everyday life of the obese is filled with shame, an uncomfortable perception that is so intense that can be unbearable. The emptiness and shame which overwhelm and create discomfort cannot be fulfilled by constant food intake and are associated with pathological narcissism (grandiose or vulnerable), which in turn is associated with more regressive behaviour. Thus, obesity may sometimes be associated with addictive behaviours, and a cognition that a bad pattern of rewarding behaviour through food has been adopted in parallel with poor self-control.ConclusionsRelationship between psychodynamic phenomena and obesity is complex and multidimensional. Further research is needed in order to ameliorate our understanding of these connections.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Abstract:

Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytical theory originally developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in which Freud throws light into the “personality” of a human being. He gives a tripartite structure that involves a conscious (superego), pre-conscious (ego), and super-conscious (the ‘id’). These concepts and their explanations form the fundamentals of the psychoanalytical theory. This thesis will focus on “Resistance and Repression,” which is one among the many theories of psychoanalysis established by Freud. ‘Repression’ or also referred to as ‘Suppression’ by later psychologists, is the process of deliberately pushing out a painful thought, memory or feeling out of consciousness and becoming unaware of its existence, to which ‘Resistance’ acts as a safety measure by the mind in not giving entrance to certain painful memories into the conscious. Thisphenomenon plays a major role in the psyche of an average person as a “defense mechanism” to escape the anxiety that is caused by certain unacceptable concepts to the conscious mind. This thesis brings into light the psyche of the protagonist of Cecelia Ahern’s novel “Postscript,” who, throughout their life, represses painful events of the past, thus altering their decisions in life to a great extent. This work focuses on the behavioral patterns of the characters in the selected novels of study and the corresponding psychological traits that give an in-depth understanding of repression and its corresponding theories and their role in human life.

Abstract:

The concerns expressed by Dr. Trigwell and his colleagues are not new. They have been expressed by many critics of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy including within the past decade Frederick Crews and Robert Wilcocks. What gives them a particular relevance and urgency is the fact that they have been articulated by young psychiatrists in training, individuals exposed to the actual practical application of psychoanalytic theory as distinct from theoretical explorations of it. The depressing thing is the reaction of one of the course supervisors. It may well serve only to reinforce their critical view.The criticisms can be summarised as follows. First, the theories of Freud and his successors were taught on this course at any rate as scientifically established facts rather than as theories or constructs concerning human behaviour, helpful insights in certain instances but not always relevant. These theories and related interpretations were formulated in a way that made it impossible to refute them. They tended to be used in a way that suggested that they explain everything from the most trivial and reflex of thoughts and responses to the most complex and profound.These criticisms, it might be said, relate to the actual content of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, to what is being taught. Raymond Tallis has put the same general criticism with somewhat more force, observing that the manner in which psychoanalytic conclusions are drawn from clinical case histories “is reminiscent of how a first year medical student or a hypochondriac, using a few observations to light a gunpowder trail of inference primed with his own preconceptions, might arrive at a wrong diagnosis”.

Abstract:

According to psychoanalysis, anxiety signals a threat whenever a forbidden feeling emerges. Anxiety triggers defenses and maladaptive behaviors, thus leading to clinical problems. For these reasons, anxiety regulation is a core aspect of psychodynamic-oriented treatments to help clients. In the present theoretical paper, we review and discuss anxiety generation and dysregulation, first from a neural point of view, presenting findings from neuroimaging and psychophysiological studies. The aim is to trace parallels with psychodynamic theories of anxiety. Then, we discuss the psychological mechanisms and neural bases of emotion regulation in the laboratory, and possible neurobiological mechanisms of anxiety regulation in psychotherapy. We describe two different approaches to emotion/anxiety regulation, one based on the standard cognitive model of emotion regulation, the other based on psychodynamic principles and affective neuroscience. We then illustrate in detail a dynamic experiential approach to regulation. This model claims that emotions arise before cognition and are not inherently dysregulated. Dysregulation emerges from co-occurrences of emotions and associated anxiety. Technical consequences of this model are discussed and include strategies to regulate anxiety.

Abstract:

SUMMARYRates of suicide and self-harm are rising in many countries, and it is therapeutically important to explore the personal stories and relationships that underlie this behaviour. In this article psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles and concepts in relation to violence towards the self are introduced and the various unconscious meanings of suicide and self-harm are explored within a relational context and attachment framework. We describe how a psychodynamic approach may enhance the risk assessment and treatment of patients presenting with self-harm and suicidality, particularly examining the role of transference and countertransference within the therapeutic relationship.LEARNING OBJECTIVES•Understand historical and contemporary psychoanalytic theories and concepts regarding the aetiology of suicide and self-harm•Understand the different meanings and expressions of acts of suicide and self-harm•Understand the use of countertransference in the risk assessment and management of self-harm and suicide attemptsDECLARATION OF INTERESTNone.

Abstract:

The authors review the literature on Capgras’ Syndrome and note that there has been little attempt to integrate the various etiological theories into a cohesive synthesis which accounts for both the organic and the psychodynamic theories. It is proposed that Capgras’ Syndrome represents a nonspecific symptom of regression to an early developmental stage characterized by archaic modes of thought, resulting from a relative activation of primitive brain centres. Thus, either psychological regression alone or organic disorders that compromise higher cerebral functioning may result in Capgras’ Syndrome. Two cases are presented for discussion and elaboration of these concepts.

Abstract:

Ego analysis, a version of Freudian theory, maintains that guilt is a sufficient cause of substance abuse. A cultural analysis reveals that self-negation is powerfully reinforced in technologically advanced societies by an unexamined moralistic belief system. In the field of alcoholism, the psychoanalytic perspective is opposed primarily by two arguments. First, researchers argue that psychodynamic factors cannot account for abuse because longitudinal studies demonstrate that symptoms of mental illness are not evident either before or after the abuse careers of many sufferers. Second, cognitive behaviorists maintain that the concept “maladaptive expectancies” explains addictions more adequately than psychodynamic theories. Freud's discovery that unconscious guilt can drive even normal people to antisocial behavior is the basis for disputing both arguments. The ego analyst's therapeutic alternative is contrasted with the conventional, abstinence-only approach and cognitive-behavioral treatment.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThere is an ongoing debate about how best to conceptualize the unconscious. Early psychodynamic views employed theories influenced by physics to explain clinical material, while subsequent cognitivist views relied on computational models of the mind to explain laboratory data. More recently, advances in cognitive-affective neuroscience have provided new insights into the workings of unconscious cognition and affect. We briefly review some of this recent work and its clinical implications.

Abstract:

Organizational frameworks help communicate the knowledge of a given field so as to promote that field's research, education, and applications. This article develops one possible framework for the organization of personality psychology. The framework's rationale, based on General Systems Theory, is developed and its organization is described. This organization, which includes several topics each subdivided into multiple perspectives, is specifically intended to accommodate both the elements of specific theories in personality psychology (e.g., psychodynamic, humanistic), as well as contemporary research in the field both related and unrelated to those theories. Examples are provided of how the framework might be applied. Its potential strengths and weaknesses are evaluated.

Abstract:

Bridging the gap between theory and practice has long been a challenge for social work students. Facilitating this process has also taxed practice teachers and academic tutors. In 2004, the University of Edinburgh, in partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University undertook a pilot project testing and researching a change in the traditional tutor role with a view to enhancing students’ integration of learning during the practicum. This paper outlines the background to and the activity and findings of the project. Then, drawing upon a discussion of the interface between psychodynamic theories and theories of education, we explore some ideas that have begun to emerge that have the possibility of enhancing the tutor role in student integration of learning.

Abstract:

A brief review of the development of the concept of Borderline Personality Disorder is given, together with a more detailed consideration of theorists who have made significant contributions to its psychodynamic understanding. Examples of the extreme limits of this diagnostic category are illustrated, using the symbolism of Humpty-Dumpty and Rapunzel. The theories of Winnicott and Kohut, which both elaborate on the concept of a developmental defect, are compared and contrasted. Some implications for therapy are considered.

Abstract:

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the psychological development of children of single mothers through psychodynamic theory and to provide therapeutic suggestions. Methods For this purpose, first, the psychosocial experiences of single mothers were analyzed. Second, the psychological development of children of single mothers was analyzed based on Freud's psychoanalytic theory, Object Relations theory, and Attachment theory. Third, PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy) was proposed as an alternative intervention to promote the healthy psychological development of children of single mothers. Results Single mothers have physical, psychological, and social vulnerabilities for raising their children alone in the absence of a partner. From the perspective of psychodynamic theory, the psychosocial situation of single mothers acts as a limiting point for their children's psychological development. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the uniqueness of psychological development of children of single mothers, and psychosocial interventions supplementing for their vulnerabilities are required. Conclusions Finally, the implications were introduced, and follow-up studies were suggested based on these findings.

To illustrate certain points, examples from case histories are used (real names not used).

Abstract:

Most children and families have not had direct contact with child psychological and psychiatric experts. Instead they encounter developmental theories, etiological explanations and depictions of childhood disorders through indirect channels such as newspapers. Drawing on actor–network theory, this article explores two child psychological and psychiatric modes of ordering children’s mental health discernible in Sweden’s largest morning newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, during the years 1980 to 2008: a psychodynamic mode and a neuro-centered mode. In the article I show how these two relatively contemporaneous modes greatly differed in how they enacted children’s mental health. The psychodynamic mode stressed the parents’ role in structuring and affecting the child’s unconscious and saw them as the primary cause of any mental illness. In contrast, the neuro-centered mode highlighted that mental issues were related to the child’s brain and proposed different solutions depending on whether the child’s brain functioned in a ‘normal’ or ‘atypical’ manner. Each mode moreover suggested differing contexts to their discussions, with the psychodynamic mode solely discussing the parental milieu while the neuro-centered mode mainly focused on how society affected children with ‘atypical’ brains. The two modes thus had significantly diverging implications for the reader on how to understand and manage children and their psychological well-being. I further argue in the article for the relevance of actor–network theory in historical studies of psychology and psychiatry.

Abstract:

Intergenerational transmission explains the continuity in behavior and personality of individuals across generations due to genetic as well as non-genetic causes. Both determinants affect individuals and increase their susceptibility to develop psychological health problems similar to the ones experienced by their parents. Psychological health of offsprings is impacted by their parents’ mental illness which causing children to be unable to adequately and positively contribute to their children’s healthy development. Extensive literature review depicts intergenerational transmission of various psychological conditions ranging from PTSD, depression, anxiety, conduct issues or even schizophrenia, among many others. Proposed models offering explanation of Intergenerational Transmission point towards social learning theories, attachment theories, psychodynamic theories and Integrative theories which mentions an overlap between genetic and environmental factors to explain the transmission. Intervention strategies of early detection and intervention, working with the affected parents and including family in therapy have been discussed. Working on the parent-child relationship, building resilience, promoting building up of protective factors is also mentioned as intervention techniques. Finally, some limitations and directions of future researches have been proposed.

Abstract:

The phenomena of demonic possession and Satanic ritual involvement are understandable within a demonological discourse as the psychic infiltration of malevolent supernatural entities. However, those rejecting the demonological model, but who wish to make psychological sense out of these phenomena, are frustrated by the lack of academically sound psychological material on the subject. In this article I address this lacuna by developing an object relations psychoanalytic model of both involuntary demonic possession, and voluntary Satanic ritual participation. I begin by examining the Freudian understanding of demonic possession, using the classical psychoanalytic paradigm. The Freudian model is criticized as being too limited, and an alternative object relations model, based on the theories of Melanie Klein and Ronald Fairbairn, is proposed. A case study is used to advance the idea that the internalization of a bad paternal object constitutes the developmental nucleus of demonic possession. The intrusive return of the projected bad object relation gives rise to the experience of possession. In voluntary Satanic worship, however, a different dynamic involving the individual's identification with the bad object suggests itself. The unconscious motivation for this identification arises from the child's experience of vulnerability and powerlessness at the hands of the persecutory parent. Identification with this bad object, symbolized by Satan, gives the individual a sense of personal power and control over his/her life. Satanic involvement thus compensates for the original childhood narcissistic injury.

Abstract:

To understand how caregivers reason when faced with patients in late states of dementia, two recognized expert caregivers were interviewed about their experiences of caring for severely demented patients. Combined in the precontext were hermeneutic, psychodynamic, and existentialist perspectives with regard to theories of human development and care ethics. Ethical reasoning, exemplified by tender descriptions of relatedness to patients, indicated that expert caregivers use sound knowledge combined with imagination, empathy, and intuition, to reach a total grasp of the situation, where the patient is regarded as a person with worth, dignity, and integrity.

Abstract:

The contemporary integrative theoretical and therapeutic concepts of social phobia in developmental period have been presented in the study. Besides current neurobiological theories, a very important hypothesis about behavioral inhibition has been represented as a predisposition of social phobia. The cognitive-behavioral theories of social phobia are dominant among psychological theories. The integrative concept of social phobia is the most realistic approach to this disorder and the bridge between biological and psychological theories. The interaction between biological and psychological etiological factors is represented through different therapeutical approaches to social phobia. Therapy of social phobia is integrative and involves different therapeutical modalities in different phases of therapy. In integrative psychotherapy, we use cognitive-behavioral therapy, dynamic oriented supportive psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and phenomenological-existential psychotherapy. The cognitive-behavioral therapy yields the best results. The medicaments in use are the following: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mono-amine oxidase inhibitors, high-potency benzodiazepines, new antiepileptic drugs and rarely (3-blockers. The combination of integrative psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy is the most optimal therapeutic approach to social phobia. This integrative and to patient adapted treatment will produce the best results in management of children's and adolescent's social phobia.
