Objectives: The purpose of this study is to introduce the progress of treatment and improve clinical use after the application of Mindfulness & Loving Beingness psychotherapy, for a patient with Hwa-Byung.
Methods: The patient was diagnosed with Hwa-Byung which arose as a result of their spouse’s affair. The patient mainly reported chest pains, breathing difficulties, fear, and anxiety as symptoms. To address these, we administered a combination of M&L psychotherapy and Korean therapy including Herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion. Beck’s Depression Inventory(BDI), Beck’s Anxiety Inventory(BAI), and Hwa-Byung scale were evaluated before and after the treatment, to assess the clinical effect.
Results: Following treatment, the patient’s overall clinical symptoms of chest pain, breathing discomfort, fear, and anxiety were significantly reduced. Additionally, their scores on the BDI, BAI, and Hwa-Byung scales decreased.
Conclusions: M&L psychotherapy and Korean therapy can be effective in treating Hwa-Byung.
