  • Title: [The body in Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics (OPD)--its representation on the axes "Conflicts" and "Structure" and correlations to self-assessment].
    Author: Schneider G, Mendler T, Heuft G, Burgmer M.
    Journal: Z Psychosom Med Psychother; 2008; 54(2):132-49. PubMed ID: 18510831.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate criteria-related validity of the operationalization of body/sexuality in OPD-2 in relation to the patient's self assessment of the Frankfurt Body Concept Scales. METHODS/SAMPLE: 105 psychotherapy inpatients were examined by the Frankfurt Body Concept Scales (self-assessment) and OPD-1 research interviews were videotaped in the first week after admission. Two OPD-certified raters rated the interviews first independently, then in a consensus rating. RESULTS: Due to the different frequency of the main conflict and mode, evaluation of psychodynamic hypotheses concerning 4 of 7 conflicts and the structure levels good integration (1) to low integration (3) was possible. The a priori hypotheses could be confirmed for both modes of the conflicts Dependence vs. Autonomy, Submission vs. Control, Self-Value, the passive mode of Desire for Care vs. Autarchy and the levels of structural integration. DISCUSSION: The deviating results of the active mode of the conflict Desire for Care vs. Autarchy can be explained plausibly. Confirmation of most of the a priori hypotheses indicates validity of the operationalization of "body/sexuality" and "body self" in OPD-2.
