Objetivo: Elucidar as principais hipóteses atuais sobre o transtorno disfórico pré-menstrual (TDPM), a síndrome pré-menstrual (SPM) e a terapia cognitiva comportamental (TCC) como tratamento. Método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa nos bancos de dados PubMed, Cochrane e BIREME (LILACS/BVS), nos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês, no período de 2000 a 2017, utilizando os seguintes descritores: transtorno disfórico pré-menstrual, síndrome prémenstrual e terapia cognitiva comportamental. Resultados: Um total de 107 estudos enquadrou-se nos critérios de inclusão – artigos de revisão da literatura, estudos do tipo corte transversal, estudos do tipo coorte prospectivo e estudo do tipo coorte retrospectivo. Cento e cinco estudos identificaram fatores fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da TDPM – as hipóteses da função ovariana, função hormonal, neurotransmissores, genética e fatores ambientais e vulnerabilidade. Desde 2009, temos estudos sobre a TCC como tratamento de primeira linha. Conclusão: Os fundamentos do TDPM podem ser vistos como uma complexa multiplicidade de fatores. Ainda não há nada conclusivo; futuras pesquisas são necessárias para definir os processos etiopatogênicos do TDPM. A TCC demonstrou sua eficácia como tratamento de primeira linha para SPM e TDPM.

Abstract Introduction: Psychological interventions are shown to be effective in migraine, but not utilized routinely yet. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral therapy (TCBT) on people with migraine (PwM). Method: This study was conducted on 40 PwM aged 20-50 years. We randomly assigned participants to two groups of intervention, receiving 10 sessions of TCBT, and control. Days with headache, headache severity, migraine-related disability and effects on daily life, number of pain-relivers taken for headache, depression, and anxiety were assessed pre-intervention, post-intervention (three-month follow-up), and one-month after TCBT termination (four-month follow-up).Results: Thirty-five participants suffering moderate to severe migraine completed the study (16 and 19 in TCBT and control groups, respectively). TCBT improved all measured items between study time-points (p<0.05) in the intervention group, while such an improvement was not observed in the control group. Between group comparisons revealed superiority of TCBT group compared to the control group in most measured items at three- and four-month follow-ups (p<0.05).Conclusion: Ten sessions of TCBT improved migraine severity, associated disability, anxiety, and depression in PwM, with persistent effects after one month of therapy termination. TCBT is an affordable, practical, and feasible intervention to be utilized for PwM.Protocol registration: The study protocol was registered in clinicaltrial.gov (NCT03701477) prior to enrollment.

INTRODUCTION: The term sleep disorder refers to difficulty in initiating sleep, maintaining it or a relaxing sleep despite having enough time to sleep. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a non-drug multi-dimensional treatment that targets behavioral and cognitive factors of this disorder. Some pieces of research have shown that psychiatric and neurological disorders can be distinguished from distinct EEG patterns and neuro-feedback can be used to make a change in these patterns. This study aimed to compare the cognitive behavioral therapy and neuro-feedback in the treatment of insomnia.METHODS: The sample included people, who had already been diagnosed insomnia by a psychiatrist in Isfahan, Iran. Random sampling was employed to choose the participants. Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) was used for the selection of the participants, too. The sample included 40 patients who were randomly selected and interviewed and then diagnostic tests performed on the PSQI, and then they were divided into 3 groups. Data were analyzed using ANOVA. Following the implementation of the independent effect of the treatment was significant and one-way ANOVA with post hoc test L.S.D were carried out on CBT and controls (p = 0.001), CBT, neuro-feedback therapy (p = 0.003), neuro-feedback treatment and control (p = 0.001).RESULTS: It was shown that there was a significant difference between the groups. Based on the descriptive statistics of the 2 abovementioned treatments, neuro-feedback therapy in first position and cognitive-behavioral therapy were most effective in the second position, and the control group showed the lowest efficiency.CONCLUSIONS: Both treatments were significantly effective, and so we can use both neuro-feedback and CBT for the treatment of insomnia.

Целью статьи является анализ философских учений стоиков, основные установки которых сегодня плодотворно используются в методиках когнитивно-поведенческой терапии. Главным методом исследования является анализ практически ориентированной философии стоиков, учение которых обладает терапевтической ценностью, являясь средством воздействия не столько на диагностику психологических нарушений, сколько на тех, кто постоянно хочет научиться управлять своими умственными представлениями, целенаправленно изменяя своё поведение в течение всей жизни. Результатами исследования является сравнительный анализ основных положений учения стоиков и методов современной когнитивно-сравнительной терапии. Заслуга авторов статьи состоит в доказательстве, что когнитивно-поведенческая терапия фокусируется на кратковременные цели, которые определяются диагнозом и ограничены во времени, в то время как жизненная философия стоицизма способна вносить глубины и безвременные изменения в образ жизни и мировоззрение человека. Теоретическая и практическая значимость статьи заключается в доказательстве, что философия стоиков, которую сегодня рассматривают в качестве западной разновидности буддизма и альтернативы современной академической философии, - это практически ориентированная философия, целью которой является обоснование мудрости как этического идеала и возможности реализовать потенциально заложенную в каждого человека способность сформировать личную жизненную установку справляться с любой жизненной ситуацией средствами своего разума и управления эмоциями. Авторам удалось углубить предложенную проблематику, что может быть использовано для дальнейшего теоретического анализа и применяться для практической работы. The purpose of the article is to analyze the philosophical teachings of the Stoics, the main attitudes of which are today fruitfully used in the methods of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The main research method is the analysis of the practically oriented philosophy of the Stoics, whose teachings have a therapeutic value, being a means of influencing not so much on the diagnosis of psychological disorders, but on those who constantly want to learn how to control their mental representations, purposefully changing their behavior throughout their lives. The results of the study are a comparative analysis of the main provisions of the teachings of the Stoics and the methods of modern cognitive-comparative therapy. The principle achievement of the article consists in the proof that cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on short-term goals that are determined by diagnosis and limited in time, while the life philosophy of Stoicism is capable of introducing depth and timeless changes in a person's lifestyle and worldview. The theoretical and practical significance of the article lies in the proof that the philosophy of the Stoics, which today is considered as a Western variety of Buddhism and an alternative to contemporary academic philosophy, is a practically oriented philosophy, the purpose of which is to substantiate wisdom as an ethical ideal and the possibility of realizing the potential inherent in each person to form a personal life attitude to cope with any life situation by means of his mind and control of emotions. The authors managed to deepen the proposed problems thus making possible to use the conclusions of its study for further theoretical analysis and practical purposes.
