Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of Family Constellations in the General Population (NCT NCT05051462)

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.

Measure
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.

The SCOFF consists of five yes-or-no type questions assessing eating disorder symptoms or risk factors. Higher scores (ranging between 0 and 5) are indicative of greater risk. At least two positive answers (score of 2) indicate a high likelihood of an eating disorder.

The 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.

Two questions were asked from respondents: 1. "On the constellation seminar you participated in one month ago or since then, have you experienced any unfavorable change in your family life, your relationships with others or your interpersonal style in general that you attribute to the constellation seminar or can imagine that it is related to your participation in it?" 2. "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. Please note that the wording above is a hypersensitive approach to gather data on iatrogenic effects (cf. "can imagine that it is related to your participation").
