ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects of antidepressant combined with improved Morita therapy in the treatment of somatoform disorder. Methods 78 patients with somatoform disorder were randomly divided into study group (medication combined with improved Morita therapy,39 cases) and control group (medication,39 cases). Both groups were assessed with symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90), Eysenck personality questionnaire ( EPQ )and global assessment scale ( GAS ) before and after treatment. Results After treatment, the factor scores in SCL-90 of the study group were (1. 14±0.41),(1.81 ±0.44),(1.27 ±0.41),(1.20±0.54),(1.49 ±0. 66 ), ( 1.25 ± 0. 42 ), ( 1. 09 ± 0.48), ( 1.07 ± 0. 42 ), ( 1.16 ± 0. 42 ), and that of the control group were ( 1. 46±0.44) ,(2.19±0.50),(1.56±0.40),(1.54±0.56),(1.85 ±0.48),(1.47±0.44),(1.33±0.54),( 1.38 ± 0. 58 ), ( 1.38 ± 0. 45 ), there were significant differences ( P ＜ 0. 05, P ＜ 0. 01 ). EPQ-E and EPQ-N of the study group were 7.02 ±4.06 and 12.7 ±3.89 respectively ,EPQ-E and EPQ-N of the control group were 14.8± 4.3 and 8.97 ± 4.32 respectively, there were significant differences ( P ＜ 0.05 ). The obvious effective rates of two groups were 82. 05% and 56.41% (x2 =4.875, P＜0. 05 ). Conclusion The effects of antidepressant combined with improved Morita therapy is much better in the treatment of somatoform disorder.
