A woman-centred psychological intervention for premenstrual symptoms, drawing on cognitive-behavioural and narrative therapy

Abstract

Abstract A women‐centred psychological intervention for premenstrual symptoms, drawing on cognitive‐behavioural and narrative therapy, has been developed. In a randomized control trial previously reported, this treatment was found to be as effective as SSRIs in reducing moderate or severe premenstrual symptoms. The purpose of this paper is to outline the multifactorial model of premenstrual symptoms that underpinned this intervention, describe the treatment in detail session by session, and present two case examples drawing on narrative interviews conducted pre and post treatment with the women who took part in the randomized control trial, in order to illustrate the process of change. It is argued that premenstrual symptoms arise from a complex interaction of material, discursive and intrapsychic factors, and that this needs to be taken into account when designing clinical interventions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
