Utvärdering av en modifierad KBT-gruppbehandling utifrån kvalitativ metod

Sammanfattning: The aim of the study is to evaluate a modified form of cognitive behavioural group therapy (CBGT). The treatment is called Tisdagsgruppen and was started by a private care institute, HjärnHälsan in Lund in August 2008. The method of the study was qualitative and seven semi-structured interviews were conducted. The interviews were analyzed in accordance with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The analysis resulted in five clusters of themes: treatment expectations, the general experience of the treatment, the experience of the structure of the treatment, the reasons for ending or continuing with the treatment and treatment effects in everyday life. The results showed that the participants were very satisfied with the treatment they are receiving or have received at HjärnHälsan. An interesting find was that some of the factors that distinguish Tisdagsgruppen from traditional CBGT were brought up as particularly positive.
