EDT Core

מאגר המחקרים ומשאבי הידע של EDT

עמוד זה מרכז את המחקרים, הספרות, סקירות המשאבים וכתבי העת העדכניים והמובילים בעולם ה-EDT (Experiential Dynamic Therapy).

מחקר בתחום הטיפולים הדינמיים-חווייתיים

על חשיבות המחקר והבסיס המחקרי של הגישה: לטיפולים דינמיים-חווייתיים (EDT) ישנה תמיכה אמפירית חזקה ומוצקה. ניסויים קליניים מבוקרים עם הקצאה אקראית (RCTs) – הנחשבים ל”סטנדרט הזהב” (Gold Standard) בהערכת יעילותם של טיפולים – נערכו עבור קשת רחבה של הפרעות דיכאון, חרדה, תסמינים סומטיים (גופניים) והפרעות אישיות.

לאורך השנים, חשיבות המחקר בתחום זה הוכיחה את עצמה  – לא רק לצורך תיקוף ההתערבויות הקליניות והבנת מנגנוני השינוי, אלא גם לשם הרחבת היישום של הגישה לקבוצות מגוונות של מטופלים. הנגשת הידע המחקרי נועדה להעניק למטפלים ולמטופלים כאחד ביטחון בדרך הטיפולית, הנשענת על פרקטיקה מבוססת-ראיות (Evidence-Based Practice).

מחקרי ליבה ומטה-אנליזות (Meta-Analyses)

גוף המחקר ב-EDT גדל ומתפתח בקצב מהיר במיוחד. כדי להנגיש את הידע ולהקל על ההתמצאות, סקירת הספרות בעמוד זה מבוססת בעיקרה על מחקרי רוחב וסקירות מקיפות של חוקרים מובילים בתחום – ובהם אלן אבאס, ג’ון מולדר-בראון ופיטר לילינגרן – המאגדים עשרות מחקרים קליניים לבחינת יעילותה של הגישה בהשוואה לשיטות טיפול אחרות. 

מטא-אנליזה של מחקרים אקראיים מבוקרים (Meta-analysis of EDT RCTs)

סקירה מקיפה זו מהווה אבן דרך מחקרית. מחקר מקיף של Peter Lilliengren ועמיתיו (עודכן לאחרונה ב-2025) הסקירה החדשה כוללת 57 מחקרים אקראיים מבוקרים (RCTs) שפורסמו עד שנת 2024, ומקיפה 4,330 מטופלים. הממצאים מדגימים כי לגישות ה- EDT כהתערבויות טרנס-דיאגנוסטיות, יעילות השווה לטיפולים נתמכי-ראיות אחרים, עם יתרון משמעותי בשמירה על תוצאות הטיפול (Follow-up) לטווח הארוך.

Research in Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (July 2025 Overview.

הפרעות חרדה (Anxiety Disorders)

על פי הגישה, חרדה היא לרוב תגובה פיזיולוגית לא-מודעת המופעלת כאשר רגשות קונפליקטואליים (כגון כעס או אשמה) מתעוררים ומאיימים לפרוץ למודעות. הטיפול מסייע למטופל לזהות את האופן שבו החרדה מתבטאת בגוף, לווסת אותה, ולחוות בביטחה את הרגשות העמוקים המסתתרים תחתיה. מחקרים מצביעים על כך שהתערבות ממוקדת זו מובילה להפחתה מהירה ומשמעותית בסימפטומים החרדתיים, עם תוצאות שנשמרות היטב לאורך זמן.

מחקרי עלות-תועלת

מחקרים ענפים מראים כי טיפול ה-EDT אינו רק יעיל קלינית, אלא גם בעל כדאיות כלכלית מוכחת עבור מערכות בריאות ומטופלים. הודות למיקוד הטיפולי ומיצוי התהליך בזמן קצר יחסית, מחקרי עלות-תועלת מצביעים על חיסכון משמעותי במשאבים: ירידה חדה בצריכת שירותי רפואה (כגון אשפוזים, בדיקות ותרופות) ושיפור בכושר העבודה והתפקוד היום-יומי, המקזזים במהירות את עלות הטיפול עצמו.

דיכאון

בגישת ה-EDT, דיכאון מומשג פעמים רבות כתוצאה של רגשות מורכבים ומוצדקים (כעס וזעם) שהופנו כלפי פנים (Retroflected anger). כאשר רגשות עוצמתיים, במיוחד כלפי דמויות התקשרות, נחסמים – המטופל נוטה להפנות אותם אל עצמו ולהעניש את עצמו, מה שמוביל לסימפטומים דיכאוניים, לביקורת עצמית קשה ולתחושת ייאוש. מחקרים קליניים מראים כי סיוע למטופל להרגיש ולתעל רגשות אלו כלפי חוץ משחרר את המנגנון המדכא, ומביא להטבה ניכרת ומהירה בדיכאון.

הפרעות אישיות

מטופלים עם קווי אישיות נוקשים או הפרעות אישיות סובלים פעמים רבות מקשיים כרוניים ומורכבים במערכות יחסים, הנובעים ממנגנוני הגנה עמוקים שהפכו לחלק בלתי נפרד מאופיים (Syntonic defenses). טיפול ה-EDT פועל לבנייה מחדש של האישיות (Character Restructuring) באמצעות עקיפת ההגנות הללו וחיזוק יכולתו של המטופל לשאת רגשות מורכבים וקרובים. המחקרים מלמדים על שיפור עמוק במבנה האישיות, ביכולות הבין-אישיות ובאיכות החיים.

מחקרים איכותניים ותהליכיים

תחום מחקר מרכזי ב-EDT מתמקד לא רק בתוצאת הטיפול, אלא במנגנוני השינוי – “איך” הטיפול עובד. כיום קיימת סדרה רחבה של מחקרי תהליך הבוחנים לעומק את האירועים, ההתערבויות והאינטראקציות המתרחשים בתוך הפגישות הטיפוליות עצמן, כאשר חלקם קושרים ישירות בין תהליכים אלו לבין תוצאות הטיפול. ממצאיהם של מחקרים אלו מספקים תוקף אמפירי ומדעי לעקרונות הליבה של השיטה, כפי שפותחה במקור על ידי ד”ר חביב דבאנלו.

פגיעה עצמית ואובדנות

התמודדות עם פגיעה עצמית וסיכון אובדני היא מהאתגרים המורכבים והרגישים ביותר בטיפול הנפשי. האם וכיצד EDT יכול לסייע למטופלים במצבים אלו? מחקרים אלו בודקים כיצד העבודה הטיפולית החווייתית-דינמית מסייעת בוויסות רגשי, בזיהוי דחפים הרסניים ובהפחתת רמת הסיכון.

הפרעות נפשיות עמוקות

טיפול בהפרעות נפשיות קשות, כגון סכיזופרניה והפרעה דו-קוטבית (מאניה-דיפרסיה), דורש הבנה קלינית מעמיקה והתאמה מדויקת של ההתערבות הטיפולית. מחקרים הבוחנים את יישום ה-EDT על מטופלים המתמודדים עם מצבים פסיכיאטריים מורכבים אלו, שופכים אור על האופן שבו הטיפול החווייתי-דינמי יכול לסייע לאוכלוסיית מטופלים זו, ובוחנים את גבולות היעילות והיישום של השיטה במצבי קצה.

תסמינים סומטיים (גופניים)

הקשר ההדוק שבין גוף לנפש תופס מקום מרכזי בטיפול דינמי חווייתי, ובהתאמה, זהו אחד התחומים הנחקרים ביותר בגישה. כיום קיימים מאמרים אקדמיים רבים שפורסמו אודות השימוש ב-EDT לטיפול במצבים של תסמינים סומטיים, חלק ממחקרים אלו משלבים את גישת ה-EAET (טיפול במודעות וביטוי רגשי) או בוחנים אותה כהתערבות עצמאית הנגזרת מ-ISTDP ומודלים קרובים. ראוי לציון כי מספר מחקרים בקטגוריה זו אף מודדים באופן ישיר שיפור בתסמינים אצל מטופלים עם בעיות גופניות מבניות או אורגניות ידועות, אשר מושפעות ומוחמרות כתוצאה מגורמי דחק נפשיים.

הפרעות שימוש בחומרים (התמכרויות)

התמכרות ושימוש לרעה בחומרים משמשים פעמים רבות כמנגנון הגנה מורכב שנועד למסך כאב רגשי וקונפליקטים פנימיים. הטיפול הדינמי החווייתי שואף להגיע לשורש הקושי, לעקוף את ההגנות ההרסניות ולסייע למטופל לשאת ולעבד את הרגשות המודחקים. מחקרים הבוחנים את היעילות של גישת ה-ISTDP בטיפול בהפרעות שימוש בחומרים, מספקים בסיס אמפירי להבנת ההשפעה של עבודה רגשית עמוקה על תהליכי החלמה.

עמידות לטיפול – ללא תסמינים סומטיים

טיפול במטופלים המציגים דפוסים עמידים ומורכבים שלא הגיבו לטיפולים קודמים מהווה את אחד המבחנים המרכזיים של כל גישה טיפולית. ה-EDT נחקר לעומק בקרב אוכלוסיות רחבות של מטופלים מורכבים עם עמידות שאינה על רקע סומטי. מחקרים אלו מתמקדים בתוצאות טיפוליות ובניתוח עלות-תועלת, לצד סוגים נוספים של מחקרים אקדמיים שנערכו על קבוצות מטופלים אלו.

מפגש הערכה והתערבות מקיף (Trial Therapy)

מפגש ה-Trial Therapy הוא מפגש טיפולי ראשון וארוך (לרוב כ-3 שעות ויותר, כפי שנהוג ב-ISTDP קלאסי), שנועד לאפשר למטפל ולמטופל לעשות עבודה מקיפה, לבחון את התגובה להתערבות, ולבסס אבחנה ומוקד טיפולי מדויק. המחקרים מצביעים על כך שמפגש ייחודי זה אינו רק כלי אבחוני, אלא בעל ערך תרפויטי משמעותי בפני עצמו, המזרז את הברית הטיפולית ואף מוביל להטבה סימפטומטית כבר מתחילת הדרך.

מחקרים אלו מתפתחים החל ממחקרים שבוצעו על ידי מטפלים מומחים בלבד,ועד לשחזור עצמאי של תוצאות אלו באמצעות מחקרי Trial Therapy ב-EDT. בנוסף, מחקר רחב היקף שנערך על מדגם גדול וכלל מספר רב של מטפלים שונים הוכיח כי תוצאות המפגש קשורות באופן ישיר להצלחה בחשיפת הלא-מודע (Unlocking the Unconscious) – ממצא מרתק בפני עצמו.

ספרי יסוד וספרות מקצועית מובילה ב-EDT

הספרות הקלינית חולקה לשתי קטגוריות מרכזיות: ספרות הליבה שנכתבה מתוך גישת ה-EDT עצמה, וספרות משיקה המהווה את התשתית התיאורטית והמדעית לעבודה חווייתית-דינמית.

(רשימה זו מבוססת על ארכיון ה-IEDTA ומהווה בסיס היסטורי ותיאורטי למחקר ופרקטיקה ב-EDT).

ספרות EDT – ספרים קליניים ותיאורטיים מאת מפתחי הגישות וממשיכי דרכם
  • Habib Davanloo: Unlocking the unconscious / Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy: Selected Papers of Habib Davanloo. אסופת מאמרי היסוד של ממציא ה-ISTDP, הפורסת את תיאוריית הדינמיקה המרכזית, שבירת הגנות וגישה ישירה לרגש.
  • David H. Malan (1979): Individual Psychotherapy and the Science of Psychodynamics. הספר שמגדיר את יסודות הטיפול קצר-המועד ואת מושג “משולש הקונפליקט” ו”משולש האדם” (מטפל-הווה-עבר).
  • Allan Abbass (2015): Reaching Through Resistance: Advanced Psychotherapy Techniques. יצירת מופת מחקרית וקלינית, המספקת למטפלים שיטות לזיהוי ולטיפול בהתנהגויות מכשילות-טיפול (Resistances) שמטופלים מביאים עמם לחדר. הספר מסביר כיצד ההתנגדות מונעת קרבה רגשית, וכיצד ניתן להסב את המטופל “נגד” ההגנות שלו עצמו ולגייס את “הברית הטיפולית הלא-מודעת” להחלמה מהירה ויעילה2.
  • Diana Fosha (2000): The Transforming Power of Affect: A Model for Accelerated Change. ספר הבסיס של מודל ה-AEDP, השם דגש על כוחו המרפא של הרגש, על ויסות דיאדי, והתמרת סבל להתפתחות וצמיחה4.
  • Jon Frederickson (2013, 2020): Co-Creating Change: Effective Dynamic Therapy Techniques / Co-Creating Safety: Healing the Fragile Patient. מדריכים קליניים פרקטיים המציעים מפת דרכים מדויקת לניהול התנגדות בזמן אמת, ולהערכת רמות חרדה (שריר משורטט מול שריר חלק), במיוחד במטופלים שבריריים המצריכים בניית בסיס לפני חשיפה רגשית.
  • McCullough, L. (1997). Changing Character: Short-Term Anxiety-Regulating Psychotherapy for Restructuring Defenses
  • Leigh McCullough et al. (2003): Treating Affect Phobia: A Manual for Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. הגישה שמגשרת בין CBT לטיפול דינמי דרך המושג “פוביה מרגש”, המבוסס על עקרונות של חשיפה (Exposure) הדרגתית לרגשות מאיימים.
  • Ferruccio Osimo (2003, 2012): Experiential Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy: A Manual / Theory and Practice of Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. ד”ר פרוצ’יו אוסימו, הנשיא לשעבר של IEDTA, משלב בספריו בין הבנה עמוקה של הגנות לגישה התייחסותית, מנחמת ומכוונת קשר. הוא מבחין בין עמדה מאתגרת (“רוח”) לעמדה מאייוטית תומכת (“שמש”) בהתאם לשבריריות המטופל.
