ABSTRACT

The study aims to investigate the efficacy of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy on the emotional maturity and psychological wellbeing of patients diagnosed with dissociative disorders. The research involved evaluating the impact of eight sessions of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy on the emotional maturity and psychological wellbeing, in the context of dissociative patients. A pre- and post-test design was employed, with a sample of individuals diagnosed with dissociative disorders participating in the study, along with a control group. Measures of emotional maturity and psychological wellbeing were administered before and after the Dialectical Behavioural Therapy sessions to assess any changes. The findings of the study revealed a significant difference between pre- and post-test scores for both emotional maturity and psychological wellbeing among dissociative patients. The sessions of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy were found to have a positive impact on these variables, suggesting that Dialectical Behavioural Therapy is effective in improving emotional maturity and psychological wellbeing in individuals with dissociative disorders. These results highlight the potential benefits of incorporating Dialectical Behavioural Therapy as a therapeutic intervention for patients with dissociative disorders. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects and durability of these improvements, as well as to identify specific mechanisms through which Dialectical Behavioural Therapy influences emotional maturity and psychological wellbeing in this population.
