Abstract

Individuals with agoraphobia disorder tend to be afraid of being in open spaces and have difficulty leaving the house and driving alone. Systematic desensitization is one of the treatments considered effective in treating agoraphobia. The case study aims to determine the application of systematic desensitization in patients with agoraphobia through a single case study design. The participant was a 28-year-old female patient diagnosed with agoraphobia. Systematic desensitization intervention is carried out by following the steps of relaxation exercises, arranging anxiety hierarchies, and gradual exposure to the anxiety sources. The main measurement is carried out through the patient's self-report SUDS (Subjective Units of Discomfort Scale) score for each source of anxiety about open space. The results showed a change in SUDS scores before and after systematic desensitization. Discussion and limitations about this case study are provided for practitioners and researchers interested in systematic desensitization, supported by the explanation of the intervention stages.

Abstract

A quarter-life crisis is a condition related to fulfilling early adult developmental tasks. Failing to fulfil these tasks can disrupt productivity and social relationships, cause emotional instability, and increase the risks of mental disorders. The Quarter-Life Management Program Based on Solution-Focused Therapy is designed to treat individuals aged 18-25 years with quarter-life crisis who experience education, employment, social relations, or personal identity problems. This study aimed to validate the program module. The content validation procedure carried out through professional judgment, resulted in an Aiken’s V score of 0.91. The functional validation procedure was carried out through experimental research on 7 participants in experimental groups and 7 participants in waitlist-control group. The results of the within-subject test analysis indicate that the implementation of the program did not have a significant effect in reducing quarter-life crisis in the experimental group (p= 0.052). However, the program was effective in increasing a more positive self-perspective and enhancing problem-solving abilities (p= 0.035 and p= 0.007). In contrast, the waitlist-control group, which did not receive the program, showed no changes.
