Introdução: Eventos traumáticos em nossa sociedade, a gravidade dos quadros psicopatológicos que podem advir desses eventos e a dificuldade terapêutica que podem significar levam à necessidade de embasar solidamente as medidas terapêuticas e de prevenção nas características individuais das vítimas de trauma, sendo o Transtorno de Estresse Pós- Traumático (TEPT) o principal transtorno psiquiátrico associado aos acidentes e a violência. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da psicoterapia ultra-breve psicodinamicamente orientada no TEPT e TEA. Método: A amostra foi composta por 27 mulheres que foram atendidas no período de maio de 2008 e novembro de 2009 que completaram pelo menos quatro semanas de tratamento no Núcleo de Estudos e Tratamento do Trauma Psíquico (NET-TRAUMA) do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), Brasil. 85,2%(23) das pacientes preencheram os critérios para TEPT e 14,8%(4) tinham TEA . As pacientes foram avaliadas antes e após intervenção psicoterápica através das escalas: Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS), Inventário Beck de Depressão (BECK), Defense Style Questionaire (DSQ-40), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) Impressão Clínica Global (CGI) e Avaliação Global do Funcionamento (GAF). Resultados: Após tratamento houve melhora na sintomatologia das escalas DTS, BECK, CGI E GAF, mesmo controlando para uso de psicofármacos. Com tamanho de efeito elevado na comparação entre as escala no pré e pós-tratamento: CGI d=1,18, GAF d= 1,03, DTS d=0,95 e BDI d=0,9. Houve uma redução da defesa de projeção (p=0,036) e um aumento na defesa humor (p=0,024). Encontramos uma associação positiva entre a diminuição de sintomas de TEPT e a diminuição no escore do fator imaturo (p=0,032 r=0,43). Conclusões: A psicoterapia ultra-breve psicodinamicamente orientada mostrou-se eficaz para o tratamento do TEPT e TEA. Houve melhora na sintomatologia das escalas DTS, BECK, CGI E GAF, mesmo controlando para uso de psicofármacos. / Introduction: Traumatic events in our society, the severity of psychopathology that may result from such events and therapeutic difficulty may mean that lead to the necessity of basing solidly therapeutic measures of prevention and individual characteristics of victims of trauma, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the main psychiatric disorders associated with accidents and violence. Objective: To evaluate the effects of psychotherapy ultra-brief psychodynamically oriented PTSD and ASD. Method: The sample consisted of 27 women who were treated between May 2008 and November 2009 who completed at least four weeks of treatment in the Center for Research and Treatment of Psychic Trauma (NET-TRAUMA), Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre ( HCPA), Brazil. 85.2% (23) of patients met criteria for PTSD and 14.8% (4) had ASD. Scales used were: Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS), Beck Depression Inventory (BECK), Defense Style Questionaire (DSQ-40), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Clinical Global Impression (CGI), and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). Results: After treatment there was improvement in symptoms scales DTS, BECK, CGI and GAF, even controlling for use of psychoactive drugs. With such a large effect on the comparison between the scale before and after treatment: d = 1.18 CGI, GAF d = 1.03, d = 0.95 DTS and BDI d = 0.9. There was a reduction in the defense of projection (p = 0.036) and an increase in defense humor (p = 0.024). We found a positive association between the reduction of PTSD symptoms and reduction in score of the immature factor (p = 0.032 r = 0.43). Conclusions: The ultra-brief psychotherapy psychodynamically oriented proved effective for the treatment of PTSD and ASD. There was improvement in symptoms scales DTS, BECK, CGI and GAF, even controlling for use of pharmacological drugs.
