Sponsor's own description

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that is inevitably fatal. To be diagnosed with a terminal illness such as ALS deeply affects one's personal existence and goes along with significant changes regarding the physical, emotional, and social domains of the patients' life. This pilot study will test a manualized, individual psychotherapeutic intervention to relieve distress and promote psychological well-being in ALS patients. A total of 5 patients will receive the intervention. The investigators will gather important information regarding the feasibility of the intervention (i.e., response rate, patient and therapist adherence, and patient satisfaction), which may be used for conducting a future randomized controlled trial. Various domains of quality of life will be assessed before the intervention (T0), after the intervention (T1) and at 3-months-follow-up (T2) in order to test for preliminary efficacy of the intervention.
