情绪聚焦疗法在社交焦虑障碍治疗中的应用

Application of emotion-focused therapy on social anxiety disorders

社交焦虑障碍是一种常见的焦虑障碍,其一个重要特征是人际上的回避,伴随着普遍的情绪识别和情绪调节问题。针对其他疗法在这些治疗重点中的空缺,情绪聚焦疗法(emotion-focused therapy,EFT)的出现恰好弥补了对情绪处理的部分,重视关系过程。文章回顾了近几年有关EFT对社交焦虑障碍的治疗相关研究。研究表明,在情绪聚焦视角下社交焦虑的发病要点为创伤性的情绪体验和自我批评,EFT的治疗重点在于处理焦虑背后的创伤性情绪方案,将其暴露在适应性的情绪中得以转换。同时,其也能与其他较为主流的疗法相结合发挥较好的效果。提示在社交焦虑症的临床治疗中,EFT是一种有潜力的方式,并期待在临床形成更加整合的治疗方式。

Social anxiety disorder is a common anxiety disorder in which a key feature is interpersonal avoidance accompanied by generalized problems with emotion identification and emotion regulation.In response to the gap in these therapeutic priorities in other therapies,emotion-focused therapy has emerged to fill the part of the treatment of emotions with an emphasis on the relational process.The paper reviews the recent studies related with the treatment of social anxiety disorder with emotion-focused therapy.The results suggest that the main points of social anxiety onset in an emotion-focused perspective are traumatic emotional experiences and self-criticism,and that the therapeutic focus of emotion-focused therapy is on dealing with the traumatic emotional scenario behind the anxiety and exposing it to adaptive emotions to be transformed.It also works better in combination with other more mainstream therapies.This suggests that emotion-focused therapy is a promising approach for the clinical treatment of social anxiety disorder and looks forward to the development of a more integrated treatment approach in the clinic.
