NCT ID: NCT05051462
Last Updated: 2025-09-26
Results Overview
The Brief Symptom Inventory is a a broad-spectrum measure of psychopathology covering 9 symptom dimensions: Somatization, Obsessive-compulsive symptoms, Interpersonal sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic anxiety, Paranoid ideation, and Psychoticism. The BSI includes a global index of distress (the General Severity Index, GSI) that reflects the mean of all items, which is used here. The GSI ranges between 0 to 4, higher scores indicative of a higher degree of symptom severity.

Intervention Group
Study participants participating in family constellation therapy between assessment 1 and 2.
Family / systemic constellation therapy: Family / systemic constellation therapy is a short-term group counseling intervention aiming to help clients better understand and resolve their conflicts within their personal systems, which in turn might lead to a decrease in psychopathological or functional somatic symptoms. The personal system addressed is most often the family but other inter- or intrapersonal systems (e.g., ego parts, victim-perpetrator dyads) can also be the target of the intervention.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 1 month post-interventionThe SSBA-G (Generalised version of the Screener for Substance and Behavioural Addictions) is comprised of 8 items (4 items assessing substance-related and 4 assessing behavioral addictions). Items reflect a distinct sign or symptom of potentially problematic involvement into an addictive behavior ("I did it too much;" "Once I started, I couldn't stop;" "I felt I had to do it in order to function;" and "I continued to do it, even though it caused problems"). Scores range between 8 and 56 with higher scores indicative of higher problem severity.

"On the constellation seminar you participated in one month ago or since then, have you experienced any unfavorable mental or physical change in your personal life that you attribute to the constellation seminar or can imagine that it is related to your participation in it?" The number of participants who answered affirmatively to one or both questions above are reported here.
