Treating GAD7, PHQ15, PHQ9, and PHQ-PD by SCVET existentialism therapy intervention

This research paper provides a quantitative analysis of data collected from clients who had symptoms of GAD, panic disorder, psychosomatic disorder, depression, or a combination of one or more of these disorders. Analysis show an obvious change in client’s symptoms between the pre- and post- therapy which proves that Self-Core Value Empowerment (SCVE) therapy has positive effects on the level of symptoms of all four disorders. SCVET is an approach which applies some existentialism therapeutic techniques to help the participants to overcome their symptoms. On the other hand, this paper aims to compare the stability of symptoms in a control group in contrast to clients who are using SCVET therapy for GAD, panic, psychosomatic and depression disorder. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of SCVET therapy on clients who were diagnosed with any or all the disorders. The experimental group consisted of 102 clients, with 49 females and 53 males, and each participant was assessed twice. The pre-assessment and post-assessment were taken in 6 months. None of the clients with low pre-assessment scores of any symptoms changed to higher symptoms in their post-assessment scores. The results showed a clear trend of decreasing symptoms after treatment and found to be significant (p = .001) with large effect sizes for all four categories of symptoms.
