tional attitude scale and emotional self-regulation scale in baseline

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a third-generation
therapy that relates to human suffering as an inherent part of life
in the human condition. Concerning personal values, ACT is focused
on the acceptance of suffering, by doing away with the avoidance
of things that cause us discomfort.
The goal of the therapy is to make a person’s reactions to suffering
more flexible, working with the role of the symptoms rather than
with the eliminating the symptoms themselves.
This paper shows how the application of this therapy to a per-
son with generalized anxiety disorder helps to reduce symptoms
such as uncontrollable worrying, lack of concentration and mus-
cular tension that these patients often suffer. The modification
of symptoms has been measured by a single case study, where
the symptoms are assessed by questionnaires before and after the
treatment’s application. Diagnosis was made according to the Diag-
nostic and StatisticalManual ofMental Disorders’ (DSM-IV) criteria.

Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan
This is descriptive study was carried out on newly diagnosed dis-
sociative (conversion) disorder patients admitted in private health
care facility, Iftikhar Psychiatric Hospital Peshawar.
The studied was carried out from January 2012 to December 2012.
Cases were diagnosed according to international classification of
disease (ICD-10) diagnostic criteria. Subjects were selected through
purposive sampling. A total of 139 patients were included in this
study. Patterns of and disorder and demographic will be presented
in presentation.
Due to sociocultural sensitivity of applying dialectical and CBT an
indigenes model of psychotherapy was applied.
Stage 1: admission of conversion disorder cases for four days
admission with informed consent, supportive psychotherapy, and
brief psycho-education of attendants to avoid reinforcement of the
patient’s behavior. Parental single dose medication to break the
cycle of fits.
Stage 2: it involves exploratory sessionwith the patient and her/his
family members focusing on what is the problem with the patient
nature of stressors, and the family environment. Meanwhile, we
involve the patient in the recreational and occupational therapy to
avoid sick role and illness behavior.
Stage 3: psychotherapy session with the patient to give psycho-
education and insight of her/his mental problem. Discussing
different options, and facilitating the patient to come up with the
best possible desirable option. Psychotherapy of the family mem-
bers involved psycho-education about the patient’s mental illness,
its association with the prevailing stressors, and avoiding rein-
forcement. Responses have been 85% improvement in conversion
disorder, 90% in sensory symptoms, 98% in motor symptoms, 95%
in mixed symptoms.
