BACKGROUND: According to Grawe's psychological therapy approach, conflict reduction can be expected not only in psychodynamic, but also in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This was tested in an effectiveness study. Changes in cognitive conflicts, along with those of symptom severity and well-being were analyzed during @entity167 inpatient treatment. METHODS: Four times during treatment, groups of @entity1 receiving psychodynamic therapy (n = 45 @entity1 ) or CBT (n = 49 @entity1 ) were measured and compared. Lauterbach's Online Conflict Test was used to measure conflict. Symptom severity and well-being were measured using questionnaires. RESULTS: Results showed significant conflict decrease in both groups with a tendency towards faster reduction under CBT. There was also significant change in symptom severity and well-being in both groups with no difference regarding reduction gradient. Moreover, @entity1 in the psychodynamic treatment group exhibited lower symptom scores at treatment begin which may be a consequence of clinical group assignment. CONCLUSIONS: In general, the findings confirmed Grawe's theoretical assumptions. Generalizability to other diagnostic groups and other clinical settings remains to be tested.
