The Study Of The Application Of The Cognitive-Exposure Therapy To The Stress Disorder

Stress disorder (in this study only including acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder ) is a general clinical mental disorder, related closely to intense stress events, and having its characteristic symptoms. Lots of researches indicate that stress disorder will affect distinctly the patients' life and their surroundings and will cause huge economic loss and social turbulence if not managed and treated in time. Cognitive-exposure therapy combines the cognitive therapy with behavioral methods, and its efficacy in treating stress disorder was testified by many western researches. But there are still not related experimental researches in our nation. This research proceeds with the treatment to stress disorder and studied systematically the kinds of issues in the procedure of the cognitive-exposure therapy.The procedure and the objectives of this study are: â‘  to investigate the short-term effect and long-term effect of the cognitive-exposure therapy through dividing the patients into the cognitive-exposure therapy group and the medication group and carrying through comparisons between groups and longitudinal comparisons;â‘¡ to discuss issues about the concrete operation and environment of the cognitive-exposure therapy by comparing thepatients in-hospital group with out-hospital group;â‘¢ to study the application of the psychotherapy to the Chinese stress disorder patients in the future through dividing the post-traumatic stress disorder patients into the psychotherapy integrated medication group and the medication group and investigated the difference of improvement between groups.The results of this study are:1 Cognitive-exposure therapy and medication both treat the stress disorder well.

The cognition component treats depression and avoidance better than medication in the long tem and exposure component can eliminate anxiety and fears rapidly. A few interviewees were diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder when followed up, which shows that early intervention can prevent well the acute stress disorder into the post-traumatic stress disorder.2 Based on this example, there is no significant difference when treating out-hospital and in-hospital. One interviewee is diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder when followed up three months later, but there is no significant statistical difference between groups. The in-hospital treat should be not beneficial to the recovery from stress disorder as this treat is far away from the customary life environment, and we will enlarge the example to deepen the study.3 Cognitive-exposure therapy and medication can significantly reduce the symptoms of stress disorder and the effect is kept until follow-up three months later. There are not significant differences in the global rating between two groups, but the psychotherapy improves...
