The general objective of this work was to achieve a survey of the scientific production respecting the therapist s person, published in the Brazilian Journals, from 1998 to 2007, and classified as Qualis A and B according to the Capes categories of evaluation. The specific objectives aimed to identify the psychotherapist variables, nature of the work, authorship and institutional affiliation. The therapist s variables were categorized as observable traits, observable states, inferred traits and inferred states. It was also verified the countertransference (in psychodynamics works) and the treatment context (public health or private clinic). The sample consisted of 45 articles, of 22 national Journals accessed in the CAPES website and national libraries. The inter-rater reliability of two independent raters, based on a sample of 10 articles, showed good agreement ( k between 0,1578 and 1). Results suggested a poor production of empirical researches, 60% of the works were theoretical, 29 % empirical, 9 % clinical experience reports and 2 % literature review. The majority of the variables researched into the international literature are ignored or just mentioned in national works. Conclusions point to the necessity of more Brazilian researches on the therapist s variables and their relation to the therapy outcome. / A pessoa do psicoterapeuta ? um dos componentes de grande import?ncia no processo de atendimento psicol?gico. O objetivo geral desse trabalho foi realizar um levantamento da produ??o cient?fica, em peri?dicos brasileiros classificados como Qualis A ou B, no per?odo de 1998 a 2007, com foco na pessoa do terapeuta. J? os objetivos espec?ficos foram vinculados a analisar a produ??o de artigos no Brasil, procurando identificar: vari?veis do psicoterapeuta, a natureza do trabalho e vari?veis relacionadas aos autores, filia??o institucional e natureza do trabalho. As vari?veis do terapeuta estudadas estavam ligadas a tra?os observ?veis, estados observ?veis, tra?os inferidos e estados inferidos. Verificou-se tamb?m a contratransfer?ncia (em trabalhos de linha psicodin?mica) e o contexto de atendimento (sa?de p?blica ou clinica particular). A amostra constou de 45 artigos, acessados em 22 peri?dicos nacionais, pelo portal de peri?dicos da CAPES e bibliotecas nacionais. O grau de acordo entre avalia??es independentes realizadas por dois juizes, em amostra de 10 artigos, revelou bons ?ndices de precis?o (k entre 0,1578 e 1). Os resultados relativos aos artigos apontaram no sentido da pouca produ??o de pesquisas emp?ricas nos peri?dicos ligada ?s vari?veis do terapeuta, sendo 60% dos trabalhos encontrados de cunho te?rico, 29 % emp?ricos, 9% relatos de experi?ncias e 2 % de revis?o de literatura. Mostrando ainda que a maioria das vari?veis que s?o objeto de pesquisa na literatura internacional s?o ignoradas ou apenas mencionadas nos trabalhos nacionais. As conclus?es remetem ? necessidade de realiza??o de novas pesquisas por parte dos pesquisadores brasileiros no que diz respeito ?s vari?veis ligadas ? pessoa do terapeuta.

The present study investigates the affectual interaction of three highly competent therapists using different theoretical approaches with a shared male client and female client in a professionally recorded video series. The interactions of clients and therapists in a total sample of six psychotherapy sessions were coded using the twenty code version of Gottman, Woodin, and Coan’s (1998) Specific Affect Coding System. Coded data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis tests which found no significant differences between the mean ranks of therapists’ codes between therapists. Significant effects among some affective behaviors were noted in therapists’ codes when compared by client. Coded data were also used to create mathematical models using ordinary differential equations for each of the six sessions. Kruskal-Wallis tests did not reveal significant effects in the mean ranks of the parameters of the mathematical models, and visual similarities and differences of these models were discussed. Additional analyses were conducted to examine clients’ affective behaviors as well and significant effects were revealed in the Kruskal-Wallis tests amongst many coded behaviors. The results support the presence of common factors and similarities in the therapeutic relationship among different theoretical approaches. The findings also add to the growing body of literature dedicated to the use of observational coding and dynamic nonlinear modeling in psychotherapy research. The implications for psychotherapy practice, education, and research are discussed. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Internationell forskning visar att samtliga etablerade psykoterapier är likvärdigt effektiva och att utfallet påverkas av såväl egenskaper hos terapeut samt klient som av relationen dem emellan. Syftet med studien var att identifiera innebörden i fenomenet allians i systemisk familjeterapi och studien har genomförts med fyra familjeterapeuter i en semistrukturerad fokusgrupp. Studien visade att allians i familjeterapi är ett samspelsfält inkluderande två relaterandenivåer såsom ram och interaktion. De två nivåerna omfattade aspekterna förtrogenhet, asymmetri, relatera till flera, samförstånd, närvaro och berördhet. I resultatet visades också att allians i systemisk familjeterapi handlar om flera allianser mellan terapeut och klienter i olika system. Frågan som har väckts i studien rör om det är relevant att använda begreppet allians i familjeterapi på klientsystem utöver en individ? Förslag till fortsatt forskning är att studera fenomenet allians i familjeterapi ur ett intersubjektivt perspektiv. / International research shows that all established psychotherapy is equally effective and that the outcome is influenced by capacities of the therapist and client as well as the relationship between them. The aim of this study was to identify meaning to the phenomenon of alliance in family therapy and the study was carried out with four family therapists in a semi-structured focus-group. The study showed that alliance in family therapy is an interplay field including two relation levels such as frame and interaction. The two levels comprised the aspects of familiarity, asymmetry, relation to several, consensus, presence and affectedness. The result also showed that alliance in family therapy is about several alliances between therapist and client in different systems. The question raised in the study deals with the relevance to use the concept alliance in family therapy on client systems beyond an individual? Suggestions for continued research are to study the phenomenon of alliance in family therapy from an intersubjective perspective.

Previous attempts to alter client expectancy and behavior using brief therapy introduction documents have yielded mixed results. This paper reports on the clinical evaluation of such a document which presented individual therapy clients with suggested in-therapy behaviors and offered them a choice as to therapeutic framework. The document told clients that they would be allowed to choose between short term and long term therapy, but woven into the descriptions of these alternatives were repetitions of suggestions for in-therapy behaviors which were intended to positively alter the therapy process and the clients' attitudes toward it. A third choice, no therapy at all, provided the opportunity to present information about what therapy would not offer (medical treatment, direct advise, etc.). Twenty-nine adult subjects (14 experimental, 15 control) were given either the experimental document or a control document (offering no suggested behaviors and no choices) immediately following their initial intake appointment at the North Texas State University Community Psychology Clinic.

M.A. / The purpose of this study is to illustrate the psychotherapeutic use of Attachment Theory. Attachment Theory is an interpersonal theory which refers to the way an individual internalises an emotional-cognitive model of his relationships with his various attachment figures. These models of ways of relating are reflected in the way an individual speaks. The methodology of the study entailed conducting the semi-structured Adult Attachment Interview to elicit a psychotherapy client's narrative about his attachment relationships. A discourse analysis technique was then conducted to analyse the client's mode of speaking. In the context of the psychotherapy relationship the client showed a capacity for greater integration of previously dissociated thoughts and was able to gain some emotional relief in talking about his attachment relationships. Furthermore, Attachment Theory with its sensitivity to discourse can be seen to provide a useful framework for therapeutic practise.

The goal of this study was to establish empirical benchmarks for Cohen's d in child counseling research. After initial review of over 1,200 child intervention research studies published from 1990 to 2016, 41 randomized clinical trials were identified in which intervention and control groups were compared with children 3-12 years old (N = 3,586). Upon identification or calculation of a Cohen's d for each study, I calculated a weighted mean d by multiplying the effect size of each study by the number of participants in that study then dividing by total number of effect sizes. The weighted mean accounted for study sample size and served as the suggested medium effect size benchmark. Results indicated effect size is impacted in large part by type of reporter, with parents apparently most sensitive to improvement and yielding higher effect sizes overall; teachers relatively less sensitive, perhaps due to difficulty observing change in a classroom setting; and children self-reporting lowest levels of improvement, perhaps reflecting a lack of sufficient measures of child development. Suggested medium benchmarks for Cohen's d in child counseling literature are .70. for parent report, .50 for teacher report, and .36 for child self-report. Small and large benchmarks are suggested based on the use of standard deviations of the mean Cohen's d for each reporter.

Varje år placeras över 1000 ungdomar inom Statens Institutions Styrelse (SiS), varav ungefär hälften placeras för behandling. Studiens frågeställningar är: I vilken grad uppfattar behandlingsplacerade ungdomar inom SiS att de får hjälp med sina familjeproblem? Finns det synliga samband mellan ungdomarnas könstillhörighet eller etniska ursprung och deras skattade upplevelse av hjälp med familjeproblem under placeringstiden? För att besvara frågorna har kvantitativ arkivdata analyserats, material som vid in- och utskrivning av ungdomar samlats genom strukturerade ADAD-intervjuer (Adolescent Drug Abuse Diagnosis). Studien visar att ungdomarnas upplevelse av hjälp kan delas in i tre kategorier; ”över förväntan” 27%, ”motsvarar förväntan” 41%, ”mindre än förväntat”, 32%. Inskrivningsintervjuerna visar en signifikant skillnad (p<.05) att pojkarna i större grad ger uttryck för att inte behöva hjälp med familjeproblem, att flickorna i större grad önskar hjälp. Resultaten visar även en signifikant skillnad (p<.05), att utlandsfödda ungdomar i högre grad än svenskfödda uppger det vara viktigt att få hjälp med familjeproblem under placeringstiden. Vid utskrivning framträder ingen tydlig skillnad i nöjdhetsgrad avseende kön eller etnisk bakgrund. En diskrepans framträder mellan personals skattning av ungdomarnas hjälpbehov med familjeproblem vid inskrivning och ungdomarnas skattning av upplevd hjälp vid utskrivning. För 42% av ungdomarna skattade personal hjälpbehovet som ”litet” eller ”inget”, vid utskrivning skattade samma ungdomar att de fått ”ganska mycket” eller ”mycket” hjälp. För 10%, av ungdomarna skattade personal att de hade ”betydande” eller ”avsevärda” familjeproblem där hjälpinsatser var ”nödvändiga”. Vid utskrivning skattade ungdomarna graden av hjälp som ”liten” eller ”inte alls”. / Each year over 1000 adolescents are placed within the National Board of Institutional Care (SiS) of which half stay in the facilities for treatment. The essay is built from information gathered through ADAD interviews (Adolescent Drug Abuse Diagnosis) performed during registration and discharge of adolescents from SiS. The questions that are meant to be answered are; “How do the treatment placed adolescents in SiS apprehend the help they get with their family related problems?” and “Are there visible connections between gender or ethnic origin and the adolescent’s experience of help with the family related problems during the placement period?” During the registration the boys gave an expression of not being in need of help, the girls gave an expression of being in need of help, significance (p<.05). At discharge no clear differences appears in degree of satisfaction. The results also show a significant difference (p<.05). that foreign-born adolescents greater than Swedish-born stated that it is important to get help with family problems during the investment period. At discharge no clear differences appears in degree of satisfaction.
