A Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)'s case conceptualization proposed by psychoanalytic therapists: Analysis through Operacionalized Psychodynamic Diagnostic 2 (OPD-2)'s criteria: preliminary results.

The present study classifed a GAD's case conceptualization made by psychoanalytic therapists using Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostic 2 (OPD-2) criteria. Information from the first author's ongoing dissertation research was re-analyzed. In that study, 30 psychotherapists (15 psychoanalytic and 15 cognitive) proposed prognostic inferences and a case conceptualization for a GAD patient. The aim of the present study was to use OPD-2's criteria for a secondary analysis of the 15 interviews already conducted with the psychoanalytic participants. The present study's rationale, procedures and central research questions are described. OPD-2 is presented as a data analysis' instrument. According to preliminary results, OPD-2's axis III and IV were predominant in the patient's main problem identifcation, axis IV and V were used to describe patient's preliminary diagnosis, and axis II was observed in the patient's inferred treatment expectations. Implications for psychoanalytic clinical practice are discussed.
