背景:对不孕症诊断和治疗的痛苦特征的认识导致了针对不孕症夫妇的几种社会心理干预措施的发展。鲁汶大学生育中心开发了一种身心婚姻团体干预措施,以帮助不孕夫妇应对与不孕相关的痛苦。方法和结果:该治疗方案最初改编自身心疗法,但综合了身体导向疗法、艺术疗法和多家庭团体疗法的概念和技术。本文概述了身心婚姻团体干预的治疗基础、治疗目标和实际意义。此外,还详细解释了治疗过程并通过临床小插图进行说明。结论:虽然关于身心小组计划在生育诊所中的有用性的第一临床印象似乎很有希望,但需要进一步的研究来评估其有效性。
BACKGROUND: The recognition of the distressing character of infertility diagnosis and treatment has led to the development of several psychosocial interventions for infertile couples. At the Leuven University Fertility Centre, a body-mind marital group intervention was developed to help infertile couples cope with the distress related to infertility. METHODS AND RESULTS: This treatment programme was originally adapted from a mind-body approach, but integrated concepts and techniques from body-oriented therapy, art therapy and multi-family group therapy. In this paper, the therapeutic foundations, treatment goals and practical implications of the mind-body marital group intervention are outlined. Further, the treatment procedure is explained in detail and illustrated by clinical vignettes. CONCLUSIONS: Although the first clinical impressions about the usefulness of the body-mind group programme in fertility clinics seem promising, further research is needed to assess its effectiveness.
