I DET TERAPEUTISKA RUMMET - SAMTALSBEHANDLING VID BEROENDE

The possibility for a positive treatment result increases when clients decide to stay in their treatment programs. For this to happen the client needs to feel respected and treated with dignity. When the therapist and client are able to build a constructive relationship, a therapeutic alliance will almost certainly follow. This takes work. The purpose of this study was to, thorough the eyes of four therapists, examine to what extent the chosen therapeutic method and/or the personality traits of the therapist creates prerequisites for therapeutic success. Are there shared similarities between different methods of therapy, so called ”Common Factors”, that distinguish themselves as central for creating change?Through qualitative interviews with the therapists working with CBT or Solutionwork and Family systems therapy I found many similarities and some differences. By studying modern research on “Common Factors” and comparing it to the interviews I’ve found several interesting results. Traits like empathy and sensitivity are cornerstones in building the coveted alliance. Change is reached through curiosity, exceptions in behavior and thought but maybe most of all compliments and confirmation. Although it is difficult to define which common factors are of greatest importance this study gives some insight to how therapists with different backgrounds, experience and schooling think about their work and what similarities and differences can be identified in their stories.
