The Nature, Motives, and Perceived Consequences of Therapist DishonestyJackson, Devlin A. January 2020 (has links)
Honest communication between therapists and their clients is an essential part of good psychotherapy. Previous research has examined the impact of dishonesty on the part of the client; however, the topic of therapist dishonesty has remained virtually unexplored. This study examined the prevalence, motivations, and perceived consequences of therapist dishonesty as part of the psychotherapy process. Specifically, the present study asked therapists to report the topics about which they are more and less likely to be less than completely honest with their clients in session and looked for common characteristics among therapists who reported being more frequently dishonest with their clients. Therapists’ reported motivations for and perceived consequences of dishonesty with their clients was also examined. Findings revealed that the vast majority of therapists report having been dishonest with their clients at least once and that therapists are significantly more likely to engage in covert dishonesty than overt dishonesty. Most therapists described using dishonesty in service of their clients’ therapy or wellbeing and with no perceived negative consequences. Novice therapists reported using dishonesty with their clients more frequently than therapists with more years of experience. The use of dishonesty and its relationship to therapist disclosure, clinical tact, and the role of hope in psychotherapy is discussed. Directions for future research, as well as implications for training programs and ethical guidelines put forth by the American Psychological Association, are discussed.

Male Client Expectations of Female TherapistsWhitman Heims, Phyllis, Ofstad, Susan Annette 01 January 1976 (has links)
This practicum intends to explore the existence and nature of male client expectations of female therapists. The underlying assumptions of this study include: (1) clients have expectations; (2) sex roles exist in society; and (3) the sex of either the therapist or the client is a variable in the therapeutic situation.
To carry out this study it is necessary to pursue the following tasks. The first step will be to define possible client expectations of therapists. Using this information, a questionnaire will be developed to verify the existence of these expectations. In addition, the questionnaire will hopefully indicate whether these expectations vary according to the sex of the therapist and whether these expectations vary with the sex of the client. The intention of this study is to yield data that will allow for conclusions regarding sex as a variable affecting client expectations, specifically male client expectations of female therapists.

Interviewer Trustworthiness and Intended Self-Disclosure as a Function of Verbal and Nonverbal Assurances of ConfidentialityJordan, Randall G. 01 January 1985 (has links) (PDF)
This study attempted to clarify to what degree assurances of confidentiality and interviewer behavior protective of confidentiality impacted an interviewee’s trust of an interviewer and subsequent willingness to self-disclose. Ninety-six undergraduates were asked interview questions. Male and female subjects were divided into four conditions: confidentiality statement/protective behavior, confidentiality statement/nonprotective behavior, neutral statement/protective behavior, and neutral statement/nonprotective behavior. The Intended Self-Disclosure Questionnaire and Counselor Rating Form were used to measure self-disclosure and trustworthiness levels. Results did not support the main hypothesis that protective behavior would have a more significant impact on self-disclosure and trustworthiness than verbal assurances of confidentiality. However, assurances of confidentiality did lead to significantly higher trust levels. Responses to a post-questionnaire revealed over reporting of confidentiality instructions. Implications for therapy and future research are discussed.

Culture, race and therapy : with special reference to South African Chinese therapistsToi, Claire 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Differences between the therapist and the client such as differing genders, social classes, races,
cultures and languages, inevitably influence the therapeutic situation. This research assignment
reviews the literature available concerning multicultural counselling. the variables which therapists
contend with in a multicultural therapeutic situation and the state of multicultural therapy in South
Africa. The main body of this assignment focuses on the training experiences. as well as the
countertransfcrential experiences. of therapists from a minority group with specific attention given to
South African Chinese therapists. Also included are helpful ways of addressing the potential
difficulties that arise in a therapeutic relationship where the culture or race of the therapist and client
differ. In closing, this assignment asks what gaps exist in the literature with regard to South African
Chinese therapists and what further research would be required to fill these gaps. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Verskille tussen die terapeut en die kliënt. soos verskillende geslagte. sosiale klasse. rasse. kulture en

Immediate and Subsequent Effects of Fixed-Time Delivery of Therapist Attention on Problem Behavior Maintained by AttentionWalker, Stephen Frank 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the immediate and subsequent effects of fixed-time attention on problem behavior maintained by therapist attention utilizing a three-component multiple-schedule design. The treatment analysis indicated that fixed-time attention produced a significant immediate decrease in the frequency of physically disruptive behavior (PDB), represented by low frequencies of PDB in Component 2, as well as a continued subsequent effect, represented by lower frequencies of problem behavior in Component 3 when compared to Component 1. The possible behavioral mechanisms responsible for the observed suppression in Component 2 of the treatment analysis are discussed. Evidence of behavioral contrast was observed in Components 1 and 3 of the treatment analysis in conditions in which Component 2 contained a fixed-time schedule of stimulus delivery. In addition, limitations and future research are outlined.

Therapist (Dis)Continuity, Therapeutic Relationship, and (Premature) Termination in a Psychology Training ClinicAl-Jabari, Rawya M. 08 1900 (has links)
Premature termination is a substantial problem with significant adverse effects for clients, therapists, and treatment organizations. Unfortunately, it is also a relatively common phenomenon within mental healthcare settings. Across varied mental healthcare settings, rates of premature termination have reportedly ranged from 19.7 % to 40 %. Perhaps not surprisingly, the rate of premature termination in training clinics is substantially higher than in community mental health settings and private practice, with 75 to 80 % of clients ending treatment services prematurely. The purpose of this study was to explore the combined effect of intake therapist continuity or discontinuity, and quality of the therapeutic relationship on premature termination. Intake therapist continuity, measures of working alliance, and termination outcome from 524 clients at the University of North Texas Psychology Clinic were utilized for adults receiving individual therapy services between August 2008 and August 2013. Results of the study suggest intake therapist continuity did not predict subjective termination status (X2(2, n = 524) = 1.61, p = 0.45), nor did it predict change in symptomology status (X2(3, n = 453) = 1.14, p = 0.77). Additionally, working alliance predicted subjective termination status (X2(6, n = 212) = 21.17, p < 0.01), but not change in symptomology status (X2(9, n = 208) = 6.27, p = 0.71). The findings of the current study are discussed, as well as suggestions for further research related to client, therapist, treatment, and procedural variables and their impact on premature termination.

O vínculo no tratamento psíquico : descoberta, contrução e desenvolvimento /Coelho, Heidi Miriam Bertolucci. January 2002 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Lúcia de Oliveira / Banca: Walter José Martins Migliorini / Banca: Vera da Rocha Resende / Resumo: A presente pesquisa destaca a importância para a psicologia clínica contemporânea da origem e aprofundamento do estudo sobre a interação da relação paciente-terapeuta, com base no entendimento da transferência e da contratransferência. É feita uma revisão dos três modelos fundamentais do movimento psicanalítico, pela teoria de Freud, Klein e Bion no que refere-se à construção e desenvolvimento do vínculo analítico. A partir daí a pesquisa se detém na influência de autores contemporâneos que muito contribuíram para novas descobertas e evolução da teoria e técnica psicanalíticas. São também apresentados três vinhetas clínicas com o objetivo de mostrar a necessidade da compreensão das subjetividades e sentimentos na experiência do par terapêutico, a fim de que possa haver um crescimento emocional efetivo durante o tratamento psíquico. / Abstract: This research paper emphasizers the importance of the contemporary clinical psychology since its origin. It also studies in depth the interaction in the patient - therapist relation based on the understanding of the transference and countertransference. The three fundamental models of the psychoanalytic movement were reviewed according to Freud, Klein and Bion's theories as far as the construction and the development of the analytic bond is concerned. From this point, this research paper deals with the influence of contemporary authors who contributed to new discoveries and to an evolution of the psychoanalytic theory and technique. Three clinical flashes are used to show the necessity of comprehending the subjectivities and feelings in the experience between therapist and patient so as to make possible that an effective emotional growth happens during the psychic treatment. / Mestre

Mastery in the Therapeutic Relationship: Comparing the Emotional Behavior of a Master Therapist with Professional Therapists and Its Impact on Their ClientsUnknown Date (has links)
A quasi-experimental, between groups design was used to evaluate differences in
emotional behavior, as measured by the Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF),
between professional therapists and their clients and a master therapist and his client.
This coding system also was used to determine how emotional behavior shown by a
master therapist changes over the course of six psychotherapy sessions. The research
team recorded counseling sessions at a university counseling center in the southeastern
United States and coded this video data using SPAFF in real time. Data were analyzed
quantitatively to determine whether significant differences in SPAFF codes exist between
the master therapist, professional therapists at the university counseling center, and their
respective clients. Results indicated that the master therapist showed significantly more
neutral and less negative affect than his counterparts at the university in both sessions one
and four. The master therapist’s client showed significantly more neutral affect and less negative in session one and significantly more positive affect and less negative affect in
session four. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Examining Affectual Interaction within the Therapeutic Relationship Across Three Psychotherapeutic Theoretical ApproachesUnknown Date (has links)
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
