Abstract
Common psychological disorders include the spectrum of anxiety disorders. Meanwhile, social anxiety disorder causes problems in various areas of life. This disorder affects the level of adaptation on the affected person to different areas of life. From the perspective of intensive and short-term dynamic psychotherapy, anxiety is caused by a person s inability to experience emotions. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of intensive and short-term dynamic psychotherapy on the level of adjustment of people with social anxiety disorder. This research was conducted experimentally with pre-test and post-test design with control group and one month follow-up. Sixteen people with social anxiety disorder who were included in the study were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The intervention was performed for 8 sessions on people with social anxiety disorder. Bell adaptation questionnaire (1961) was used to assess the adjustment variable. Data were analyzed after collection. One-way analysis of covariance and multivariate analysis of covariance showed that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test of the experimental group, but there was no significant difference in pre-test and post-test of the control group. Studies showed that this difference was permanent in one-month follow-up. The results of this study showed that intensive and short-term psychodynamic intervention has a positive effect on improving adaptation in people with social anxiety disorder. This effect was significant on five adjustment scales.
