Zusammenfassung: | Objective: To analyze the impact of a therapeutic intervention using the body in a functional way with a coherent response pattern (cognitive, motoric and autonomic) independently of the body image satisfaction or distortion. Method: Mixed (quantitative and qualitative). Twenty one women with AN, BN and EDNOS (DSM- V), completed the BSQ and self evaluation of body image questionnaires before and after 14 sessions, built the photographic history of their body, organized their exposure hierarchy and perform sensory integration exercises. The narratives of these experiences were registered. Therapist evaluated the responses in a qualitative way. Results: 90.47% were able to expose themselves to all items in their hierarchy, 95.23% behave in a coherent way, 76.19% continued responding in such a way, 95.23% had a coherent emotional response and 90.47% thought about experiencing pleasure when behaving in such a way. Signi- ficant differences were founded in BSQ pre and post (Chi2 16.4, P = .0001), but not in relation with ED type, age, chronicity, or BMI. Conclusion: Exposure techniques that focus on the functional use of the body seem to help construct evidences that facilitate changes in autonomic, motoric and autonomic responses, independently of body satisfaction or distortion.
Objetivo Implementar una intervención terapéutica que facilite la utilización del cuerpo de manera funcional, con un patrón coherente de respuestas cognoscitivas, motoras y autónomas, independientemente de la satisfacción o distorsión de la imagen corporal. Método Mixto (cuantitativo y cualitativo). Participaron 21 mujeres con trastornos del com- portamiento alimentario (TCA) que fueron evaluadas de manera previa y posterior con el Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), el Cuestionario de Auto-evaluación de la Imagen Corporal del Hospital Sant Joan de Déu de Barcelona y construyeron una biografía corporal usando fotografías. Recibieron sesiones individuales de terapia cognoscitivo conductual. Finalmente las pacientes respondieron una entrevista en profundidad sobre su experiencia y se analizaron: dificultades y logros en las exposiciones, mantenimiento de la respuesta en el tiempo, coherencia del comportamiento y componente hedónico. Resultados: El 90.47% lograron exponerse a todos los ítems de su jerarquía, el 95.23% se comportaron coherentemente, el 76.19% siguieron emitiendo la respuesta, el 95.23% tuvieron una respuesta emocional acorde y el 90.47% pensaron en disfrutar al emitir la res |
