Changes in the scales "attachment" and "control" of the OPD-KJ "structure" axis for inpatients of a pediatric and adolescent psychiatric clinic Abstracts: Despite the great importance of structural deficits in adolescent patients, studies on changes that occur in the course of their inpatient psychiatric treatment are lacking. This study assesses the effectiveness of inpatient psychodynamic psychotherapy, the scales "attachment" and "control" of the "structure" axis of Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics in Childhood and Adolescence (OPD-KJ). The study was carried out by dual case leaders (psychotherapist and pedagogue/nurse) on 75 patients (12-18 years) at the beginning and at end of 8 weeks of therapy.
