RESUMO
AIM: To study personality-oriented (reconstructive) and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy in patients with neurotic anxiety disorders with insomnia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninety-eight patients with disorders coded in ICD-10 as F 40.0; F40.1; F41.0; F41.1; F48.0 were studied. Clinical, psychometric, experimental-psychological methods and polysomnography were used. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Phenomenological insomnia types characteristic of neurotic anxiety disorders and their relationship with types of intrapersonal conflicts are described. A quantitative analysis of the dynamics of symptomatic complains, anxiety level, and insomnia is presented. The efficacy of the both psychotherapeutic treatments is shown. However the personality oriented (reconstructive) psychotherapy has demonstrated better and more stable results. This can be explained first of all by its pathogenesis-oriented nature and involvement of the cognitive emotional and behavioral spheres as well as the resolution of the intrapersonal conflicts, which are the cornerstone of neurotic disorders.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the efficacy of spitomine (buspirone) in the combined therapy of panic disorder, we studied the dynamics of clinical parameters and personality traits associated with development and maintenance of panic disorder during the treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty patients of a treatment setting for out-patients with panic disorder were enrolled in the study. Patients received combined treatment with spitomine (buspirone) in the dose of 30 mg/daily (10 mg three times a day) during 6 weeks and individual short-term direct cognitive-behavioral therapy. Anxiety and panic symptoms were measured with HARS, CGI, MADRS and STAI-A. RESULTS: There was a significant reduction in panic and anxiety symptoms (by 50% on the HARS) that reached on average 9.73 scores to the end of the study. This finding indicates the absence of anxiety and, therefore, therapeutic efficacy of the treatment. Scores on state anxiety of STAI-A were significantly lower compared to baseline though the level of anxiety remained relatively high. The partial decrease in trait anxiety, though its level was high as well, was noted. CONCLUSION: The combined therapy of panic disorder with spitomine (buspirone) and cognitive-behavioral therapy is an optimal treatment, though not without the limitations of short-term methods. Good tolerability of the drug allowed all patients to complete the study.

Emotional estimation of 96 short (2-5 s) musical fragments was studied in 6 healthy subjects. Fragments were scored on a 5-point scale. Statistically significant difference in estimations of specific musical fragments (positive, negative, or indifferent) was found.
