Psychodynamic Interventions for Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review
Overview
This systematic review synthesizes literature on psychodynamic interventions for fibromyalgia, identifying six studies that examined approaches such as Attachment-Based Compassion Therapy and short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy. The resource reports preliminary benefits in pain severity, anxiety, depression, and emotional functioning, while noting significant limitations due to study heterogeneity and risk of bias. It is intended for readers seeking an overview of the current state of evidence regarding these specific therapeutic modalities.
