DIMENSIONAL PERSONALITY CHANGE AFTER COMBINED THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION IN THE OBSESSIVE - COMPULSIVE PERSONALITY DISORDERS
Abstract:
There is an ample debate regarding the influence of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy in the alteration of some dimensions of the pathological personality. This study was performed on a sample of 31 patients diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder in comorbidity with obsessive – compulsive personality disorder. The results obtained reveal the fact that after 40 cognitive – behavioural therapy sessions, associated with antidepressant medication, the Extroversion, Agreeableness and Emotional Stability dimensions of the personality are altered for the better. These modifications influence these patients' social, interpersonal and emotional spheres, contributing to an increase in the quality of their life.
