Self-criticism is a transdiagnostic phenomenon associated with different psychopathological manifestations in clinical and nonclinical samples. This fact has led to an increase in research on its measurement and treatment. This study seeks to examine the effects of emotion-focused therapy on self-criticism in a nonclinical population through pretreatment, posttreatment, and follow-up questionnaires. The study was designed as a randomized control trial comparing emotion-focused therapy for self-criticism (n = 24) versus a wait-list control group (n = 28). The efficacy was evaluated using Inadequate Self and Hated Self scales of Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring scale, as well as measures of depression, general distress, and interpersonal problems. The results showed significant improvements on the inadequate self, depression, general distress, self-compassion, and self-reassuring measures at the end of the treatment for emotion-focused therapy condition in comparison with the control, with most of the changes also being maintained in the follow-up. The results show the promise of emotion-focused therapy as a way of treating self-criticism. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

非临床人群中以情绪为中心的自我批评治疗：一项随机对照试验。


自我批评是一种跨诊断现象，与临床和非临床样本中的不同精神病理学表现相关。这一事实导致对其测量和治疗的研究增加。本研究旨在通过治疗前、治疗后和随访问卷来检查以情绪为中心的疗法对非临床人群自我批评的影响。该研究被设计为一项随机对照试验，比较以情绪为中心的自我批评疗法 （n = 24） 与候补名单对照组 （n = 28）。使用自我批评/攻击形式和自我安慰量表的不足自我和憎恨自我量表，以及抑郁、一般痛苦和人际关系问题的测量来评估疗效。结果显示，与对照组相比，以情绪为中心的治疗条件在治疗结束时的自我不足、抑郁、一般痛苦、自我同情和自我安慰措施有显着改善，大多数变化在随访中也得到维持。结果显示了以情绪为中心的疗法作为治疗自我批评的一种方式的前景。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
