Abstract:

This study was carried out on a sample of n = 27 female patients, mean age 37,2 years, with a diagnosis of adjustment disorders, which were included in a program of supportive psychotherapy. The technique of supportive psychotherapy was focused mainly on strengthening the therapeutical aliance, clarifications, encouragement, reassurance, advice and suggestions. As regard the therapeutical outcome, we discuss the peculiarities of patients to which the life events involved the meaning of "confrontation" in comparison with the meaning of "loss", and also some sociocultural aspects.

Keywords: supportive psychotherapy, adjustment disorders, life events
