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 alcohol inpatient treatment. Methods: Four times during treatment, groups of patients receiving psychodynamic therapy (n = 45 patients) or CBT (n = 49 patients) 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, patients 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. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

Ao longo de um semestre, acompanhamos doze alunos, licenciandos em Matemática, durante as aulas da disciplina Álgebra I, cuja ementa contempla os conceitos de anéis, ideais, corpos e polinômios. O estudo fundamentou-se nos processos constituintes do Pensamento Matemático Avançado, na teoria da imagem e definição conceituais e nos níveis de sofisticação do pensamento matemático – procedimento, processo e proceito. Outros subsídios teóricos vieram com o levantamento de aspectos históricos da Álgebra como Ciência e como disciplina curricular da Educação Matemática. O contato direto com a turma durante as aulas, a aplicação de questionários e a observação das avaliações possibilitaram a coleta dos dados da pesquisa. Identificadas as dificuldades de aprendizagem, buscamos discuti-las à luz das interações entre a definição formal do objeto matemático e as imagens conceituais que os alunos formaram desse objeto. Ao final, apresentamos uma categorização dos conflitos analisados com base nas compreensões do fenômeno estudado. / In this work, the learning conflicts are investigated that emerge when students of degree in Mathematics are ahead of a first course of Abstract Algebra. Throughout a semester we follow twelve pupils, undergraduates in Mathematics, during the lessons of disciplines Algebra I, whose summary contemplates the ring concepts, ideals, fields and polynomials. The study it was based on the constituent processes of the Advanced Mathematical Thinking, on the theory of the conceptual image and definition and on the levels of sophistication of the mathematical thinking - procedure, process and procept. Other theoretical subsidies had come with the survey of historical aspects of Algebra as Science and as discipline curricular of the Mathematical Education. The direct contact with the group during the lessons, the application of questionnaires and the comment of the evaluations makes possible the collection of the data of the research. Identified the learning difficulties, we search discutiz them it the light of the interactions between the formal definition of the mathematical object and the conceptual images that the pupils had formed of this object. To the end, we present a categorization of the analyzed conflicts on the basis of the understandings of the studied phenomenon.
