Inledning: Inom ISTDP har psykodynamisk diagnostik utvecklats och används kontinuerligt i behandlingen. Diagnostiken delar in patienter i olika karaktärsstrukturer. Frederickson (2013) gör en indelning i de fyra kategorierna lågt motstånd, moderat motstånd, högt motstånd och skör. Föreliggande studie undersöker hur patienters bedömda karaktärsstruktur samvarierar med patientens självskattning av sina psykiska besvär.  Frågeställningar: Samvarierar terapeutens bedömning avseende karaktärsstrukturerna lågt motstånd, moderat motstånd, högt motstånd och skör med patientens självskattade psykiska besvär med utvärderingsformuläret CORE-OM.  Metod: 31 patienter på tre olika psykiatriska mottagningar har fyllt i självskattningsformuläret CORE-OM. Därefter intervjuades de av psykolog för att bedöma karaktärsstruktur. Den fastställda karaktärsstrukturen jämfördes med utfall i CORE-OM. De statistiska analyserna har genomförts med Spearmans rho värde. Kruskal - Wallis rangordningstest. Vald signifikansnivå < 0.05. Uppföljande parvisa post/hoc test (Man-Whitney U test med Bonferoni korrigerat p värde).  Resultat: Bedömd karaktärsstruktur samvarierar med patientens självskattning av psykiska besvär mätt med CORE-OM. Skillnaderna är signifikanta mellan karaktärstrukturerna moderat motstånd och skör avseende både CORE-OM total- och domänpoäng. Karaktärsstrukturen skör skiljer ut sig signifikant från övriga i domänen risk med högre grad av risk rapporterad. Karaktärsstrukturen moderat motstånd skiljer ut sig signifikant med rapporterat lägre grad av svårigheter i underkategorierna nära relationer och socialt i förhållande till övriga.  Diskussion: Studiens resultat påvisar att bedömning av karaktärsstruktur utifrån ISTDP är en tillförlitlig diagnostisk metod. Resultatet stödjer den långa traditionen av teoribildning inom den psykodynamiska traditionen vad gäller koppling mellan art av försvar och graden av psykisk ohälsa. / Introduction: In ISTDP have psychodynamic diagnostics developed and is continuously used in the treatment. The diagnostics divides patients into different character structures. Frederickson (2013) makes a classification into these four categories low resistance, moderate resistance, high resistance and fragile. This study examines how patients assessed character structure correlates with the patient's self-assessment of their mental problems. Questions: Does therapist's assessment correlate, concerning the nature of the structures low resistance, moderate resistance, high resistance and fragile, with the patient's self-rated mental health problems with the evaluation form CORE-OM. Methods: 31 patients at three psychiatric clinics have completed the self-assessment form CORE-OM. Then they were interviewed by the psychologists to assess the character of the structure. The estimated structure was compared with the outcomes of the CORE-OM. The statistical analyzes were conducted with Spearman's rho value. Kruskal - Wallis rank test. Selected level of significance <0:05. Follow-up pairwise mail / hoc test (Man-Whitney U test with Bonferoni corrected p value). Results: The estimated character structure correlates with the patient's self-assessment of psychological disorders as measured by the CORE-OM. The differences are significant between character structures moderate resistance and fragile regard both the CORE-OM total and domain scores. Fragile character structure stands out significantly from the rest of the domain risk with higher degree of risk reported. Character Structure moderate resistance stands out significantly with reported lower degree of difficulty in subcategories close relationships and socially with the rest. Discussion: The study's results demonstrate that the assessment of the character structure based ISTDP is a reliable diagnostic method. The results support the long tradition of theory in the psychodynamic tradition of the link between the nature of the defense and the level of mental illness.

Title of Diploma Thesis: Bioenergetic Analysis and its Application in Physiotherapy. Purpose: To evaluate bioenergetic analysis from the point of view of the physiotherapist and suggest the application of the whole method or some of its components in physiotherapy. Methods: Thesis is conceived as a theoretical work, was based on the literature retrieval of the accessible relevant literary sources. Literature, pressed and electronic monographs, textbooks, professional journals was derived from the professional medical databases, bibliographical databases, library catalogues, were used also sources from the specialization of psychosomatic medicine, psychology, kinesiology. The obtained knowledge was analyzed from the point of wiev of the physiotherapist with the goal to suggest the application of the method or some of its components in physiotherapy. Results: The possibility of the application of the bioenergetic analysis and the therapy as a complex in physiotherapy turn out to be inconvenient. The possibility of the application of the components of the bioenergetic analysis and the therapy seems to be suitable. Key Words: Bioenergetic Analysis, Defense Mechanisms, Character Structure, Posture, Postural and Gestural Expression
