Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the Korean-medical and the Western-medical psychotherapy on PTSD for improving the Korean-medical psychotherapy on this issue. Methods: We surveyed recent articles relating to psychotherapy on the incidence of PTSD. Results: Under the circumstances of this study, we note that applying the qigong therapeutics would be helpful when conducting relaxation training on the identified PTSD patients. We understand that taking a systematic desensitization style in the use of the kyungja-pyungji treatment is recommended. It would also be more effective to combine other treatments such as the use of the I-Jeong-Byeon-Gi Therapy and the five minds mutual restriction therapy. We have shown that by using the five minds mutual restriction therapy for the imagery rescripting has a better a synergy effect for optimum patient outcomes for patients who have been diagnosed with PTSD. Conclusions: Our study has shown that by improving the shortcomings of the Korean psychotherapy and utilizing Western psychotherapy's merits, we expect to increase the efficacy of the Korean psychotherapy with these recommendations for changes in this case.

복합적 외상적 사건을 겪은 후 1년 이상 히스테리성 실성증으로 고통받아 온 전환장애 환자 1례를 TFT요법과 한방요법의 병행을 통해 성공적으로 치료하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하였다. 본 증례는 1년 이상의 이환기간을 가졌으며, 이환기간 동안 아들을 방화에 의한 타살로 잃은 외상성 사건을 경험했으며, 1년 동안의 약물치료를 통해 호전이 없어 부정적 정서와 자살충동이 있는 주요 우울장애가 병발된 예후가 좋지 않은 경우에 해당된다. TFT요법은 환자의 주소인 흉민을 해결하는 일차적 목표를 달성하였으며 이후 지속적인 한방요법에 대한 환자의 반응을 좋게 만들어 주었다. 입원 10일째 용천혈의 자침을 통해 환자의 말문이 열리기 시작하여 14일째 치료를 중단했다. 이후 3개월이 지난 추적 때까지도 유창한 언어를 구사하고 있었다.

Ileus is blockage of the intestine that prevents the contents of the intestine from passing to the lower bowel. In western medical treatment, surgery is mandatory for severe cases such as strangulation ileus. However more generally, conservative management is used for treatment. Examples of conservative management are decompression with tube, fluid treatment, enema and fasting cure. Until now, many oriental medical studies have been conducted on chronic ileus, but almost none on acute ileus. The results for the case in this report suggest that oriental medical treatment such as acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine is effective in treating acute ileus. We think that further studies should be conducted on a combination therapy with other oriental medical treatment such as retention enema.
