the Mass Hysteria in 19 teenaged girls. 2. To study the
cultured bound believing in ghost and the its connection with
the community life style. 3. To study Satir’s
model by the psycho therapy session with 3
indicated girls who began the phenomena to coped with the
problem and grew up their intrapsychic concepts.
Method : 19 teenaged girls from the same secondary school who had
the symptoms of possession and dissociation and claimed that
were the power of the ghost they could not resist were referred to
Nongkai Hospital to saw a neurologist and a psychiatric nurse by
their teacher.After history taking,physical and neurological
evaluating, and differential diagnosis were done,the neurologist
diagnosed these girls as the “Mass Hysteria” and there were 3
indicated persons who had begun the phenomena ,they were referred
to the psychiatrist who use the Satir brief systemic psychotherapy
to helped them coping the stressors and experiencing the
growth of their intrapsychic part.After psychotherapy session all
these 3 girls were closely followed by a local psychiatric
team.
Result: After the psychotherapy session 3 clients were
free from their symphoms, they declared no more ghost
in their life as long as they let themselves free from it and all
of them were let their intrapsychic part grew up and experienced
loving and caring . During the session the therapist used Satir’s
model step by step for connection, iceberg exploration,
positively direction , goals setting,experiencing and anchoring for
the new positive experiences. The therapist found that each
one had the same cultured bound believes that influenced their life
style and played role when they faced the stressors. Disconnected
selves, unfullfill yearnings, unmet expectations, negative
perceptions and feelings of fear ,hate and depression had been
found from their icebergs. After changing processes,
anchorings were done not only by the therapists but with the
cooperation of the teachers and the community there is no relapsing
phenomena until now.
Conclusion: The Satir’s model can help the therapist to cope
and help the clients of mass Hysteria by the processes of
connection, exploration, goals direction, decision for changing and
anchoring ,finally by Satir’s model there is no one who relapse the
same symptoms or has any psychiatric feature until now.
