“…Furthermore, our study revealed that ISTDP led to a significant increase in the utilization of mature defenses, while simultaneously resulting in a significant reduction in the employment of neurotic and immature defenses. In accordance with our findings, Mehboodi et al (2022) observed a significant increase in mature defense mechanisms and a concurrent decrease in immature defenses among individuals with social anxiety disorder following the application of ISTDP. Theoretically, ISTDP assists individuals in recognizing their defense mechanisms.…”

Studies have provided evidence for the effectiveness of intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) in treating medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of ISTDP on individuals living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in terms of, emotion regulation (ER) abilities, defense mechanisms, quality of life (QOL), and IBS symptoms. A total of 30 patients diagnosed with IBS were recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention (n = 15) or control (n = 15) group. Pre- and post-treatment assessments were conducted, along with a follow-up assessment after ten weeks. Repeated measures analyses of variance were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that ISTDP led to significant improvements in ER, defense mechanisms, and QOL, as well as a reduction in the severity and frequency of IBS symptoms. These results provide further support for the efficacy of ISTDP as a treatment modality for individuals with IBS.

“…Consequently, there is no difference between the effectiveness of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy enriched with compassion on marital burnout in women seeking divorce. The research findings are consistent with previous studies on the effectiveness of ISTDP (Ahmadi et al, 2018;Aminifar et al, 2023;Balali Dehkordi & Fatehizade, 2022;Caldiroli et al, 2020;Caselli et al, 2023;Heshmati et al, 2021;Jahangasht Aghkand et al, 2021;Kashefi et al, 2023;Mami et al, 2021;Mehboodi et al, 2022;Moazzami Goudarzi et al, 2021;Mobassem, 2022;Parisuz et al, 2019;Pasbani Ardabili et al, 2018;Pejman Hoviatdoost et al, 2020;Qaziani & Arefi, 2017;Rosso et al, 2019;Salehian & Moradi, 2022;Sarafraz & Moradi, 2022;Taghavi et al, 2019;Town et al, 2017;Ziapour et al, 2023), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Aghili & Kashiri, 2022;Amidisimakani et al, 2018;Amini & Karami Nejad, 2021;Asadpour & Veisi, 2019;Mardani et al, 2023;Nazri et al, 2017;Rafiei Saviri et al, 2022;Sadeghi et al, 2022;Sadeghi, Naeimeh, & Alivandvafa, 2021), and compassion-based therapy (Amini & Karami Nejad, 2021;Aminifar et al, 2023;Ramezani et al, 2023;Saadati et al, 2021;…”

Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) enriched with compassion in altering marital burnout among women seeking divorce. Methods and Materials: Statistical population of this study consisted of all women seeking divorce in District 4 of Tehran city in the year 2021, who were selected from counseling centers supervised by the Organization of Psychology and Welfare through convenience sampling. Next, Pines’ (1996) Marital Burnout Questionnaire were distributed for completion, and 45 individuals who scored high on these scales were selected as the sample and randomly placed into two experimental groups and one control group (each group consisting of 15 individuals). For data analysis, descriptive statistical methods (frequency indices, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multivariate repeated measures analysis of variance) using SPSS-24 were employed. Findings: Results indicated no significant difference between the ISTDP and ACT enriched with compassion in altering marital burnout. Both groups showed improvement compared to the control group, but no significant difference was noted between the two in terms of effectiveness. Conclusion: Both ISTDP and ACT enriched with compassion are effective in reducing marital burnout among women seeking divorce, with no significant difference in effectiveness between the two. This suggests that both therapeutic approaches can be beneficial in this context. Future research should consider broader and more diverse samples, longer follow-up periods, and comparisons to active control groups to further understand the sustained impact and efficacy of these therapies.
