Asmenybės pokyčių analizė visada buvo svarbi klinikinės psichologijos sritis, kuri tampa ypač aktuali permainų laikotarpiu. Visuomeninių pokyčių sėkmė priklauso ne tik nuo susiklosčiusių sąlygų, bet ir nuo individo psichologinių ypatumų bei jo paties vidinių pokyčių. Habilitacijai pateiktuose darbuose yra analizuojami vidiniai ir išoriniai veiksniai, nulemiantys asmenybės pokyčius. Pirmųjų grupę sudaro patologiniai veiksniai , o taip pat vidiniai struktūriniai asmenybės dariniai, antrųjų –išorinių intervencijų (daugeliu atvejų psichoterapijos) poveikio analizė ypatingą dėmesį skiriant traumos padarinių išgijimo analizei. Psichoterapinis poveikis priklauso nuo terapinio santykio ypatumų. Publikacijose yra analizuojama terapinio santykio formavimosi sąlygos, struktūra ir mechanizmai, kurie yra būtini veiksmingai psichoterapijai. Habilitacijos procedūrai yra pateikti darbai, kuriuose nagrinėjami kai kurie metodologiniai tyrimų aspektai- atvejo analizės taikymas moksliniuose tyrimuose, kiekybinių ir kokybinių tyrimų derinimas klinikinėje psichologijoje – šie klausimai yra pakankamai nauji Lietuvoje, tad jų naudojimo galimybių aptarimas taip pat svarbus. Asmenybės pokyčių tyrimai yra perspektyvi sritis, kurios plėtotė galėtų apimti ir tolesnius psichoterapijos veiksmingumo tyrimus, ir daugialypę tapatumo dinamiškumo analizę.Analysis of personality changes always was important field of clinical psychology. It has a special meaning in modern times, as global changes depend not only on circumstances, but on the changes of individual too. Inner factors such as pathological conditions and inner personality structures are analyzed in the perspective of personality transformation. Depth presumptions of personality changes, outer factors and psychotherapy process are important part of our research which is represented for the habilitation procedure. Special attention is paid for trauma experience and its healing process. Effective psychotherapy depend on successful therapeutic relationship. Conditions of formation, structure and processes of therapeutic relationship are one more subject of our research. We discuss some methodological questions in our publications (case analysis and scientific research, combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis)- those questions are new in Lithuanian clinical psychology. Personality changes and its research is interesting and perspective field – we suppose its development could include further research of effectiveness of psychotherapy and dynamic of personality identity.

Full textAbstract:
Little is known about predictors of treatment selection for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). This study aimed to identify the relationship between patient demographics, positive cut-off score of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and somatization, number of lifetime traumas, diagnosis, length of treatment, and clinician’s selected evidence-based therapy (EBT). A secondary data analysis of 319 adults who sought services at a community mental health clinic who reported IPV was conducted. Neither Patient demographic characteristics or screen positive cut-off score for PTSD, anxiety, depression, or somatization was indicative of selected EBT. Patient demographic characteristics of age, female gender, race/ethnicity, employment disability, marital status, and education were found to be significant pre-treatment predictors of attending more sessions of treatment. There was no association between clinician’s treatment selection of EBT and patient diagnosis or patients number of lifetime traumatic experiences. A dramatic need for future research regarding predictors of selected EBT are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The central thesis of this study says that the ground rules and boundaries of the psychotherapeutic relationship (the frame), as defined by Robert Langs for adults and adolescents, are the same for children. Transcripts from memory of verbalisation and behaviours from 12 sessions of children in individual psychotherapy were analyzed with the purpose to test Langsian communicative psychoanalytic hypotheses. Unconscious communications were analyzed in accordance with Langs' theories to determine the impact of the state of the frame on children. The dependent variable, unconscious communication, was analyzed with respect to the following nine independent variables of the frame: (a) change in therapy rooms, (b) audio recording of session, (c) missed sessions and holidays, (d) therapist's contact third parties, (e) disruption of session, (f) time extension and time reduction of session, (g) observation mirror, (h) forced termination of treatment, and (i) touching toys. The analysis of data was limited to: (a) triggers, (b) polarity of themes and images, (c) perceptions of the therapist, (d) models of rectification, and (e) vicissitudes of resistances. This is a limited, multiple case empirical study of two boys (ages 5 and 11) and one girl (age 6) in individual psychotherapy in a
public clinic setting. The process of unconscious validation and non-validation by the client was used to determine the correctness of individual hypotheses, which were formed for each session on the basis of the state of the frame.
Conclusive empirical proof of the effects of three types of breaks in the frame on the process of child psychotherapy is presented: contact with third parties, observation mirror, and changing the time for sessions adversely influence the process of child psychotherapy. These three findings were made possible because the available data included the breaking as well as securing of the frame which permitted the execution of complete Langsian analysis. Each of the three instances represents a piece of conclusive evidence of the predictive value of Langs' theory regarding children and therefore conclusive evidence of the three aspects of the basic thesis of this study. The analysis of data revealed that the individual Langsian hypotheses were correct in all instances. The analysis also revealed that none of the data would satisfy a rival hypothesis which would propose an outcome opposite to Langsian hypotheses. A limitation of the study is the fact that the majority of available data contained material that allowed only partial Langsian analysis of the impact of the frame on the child. Further studies of secure frame psychotherapy are needed to complete the set
of ground rules and boundaries of child psychotherapy by empirical means.Education, Faculty of

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica, apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto UniversitárioA literatura evidencia a escassez de estudos que caracterizem o processo terapêutico em psicoterapia existencial. Neste trabalho, procedemos à caracterização dos segundos seis meses de quatro processos terapêuticos de orientação existencial com duração de aproximadamente 48 sessões. Como medida de processo utilizamos o PQS (Psychotherapy Process Q-set), procedendo-se à cotação das sessões através da audição das mesmas. Como medida de outcome utilizamos o CORE-OM (Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Meassure), com medições no pré e póstratamento. Os dados emergentes da análise das quatro díades sugerem concordância com os fundamentos da psicoterapia existencial. Verifica-se uma atitude empática, responsiva e envolvida por parte dos terapeutas, numa atmosfera marcada pela compreensão e aceitação do modo de ser dos pacientes. Verifica-se o enfoque nas situações actuais da vida dos pacientes, remetendo-nos para o aqui e agora. Os resultados revelam a existência de indicadores de mudança em duas das quatro díades analisadas, assinalando-se a manutenção da atitude dos terapeutas nos dois grupos de processos. Nos processos terapêuticos com indicadores de mudança, assinala-se a existência de uma relação terapêutica com baixa expressão da ambivalência, onde se evidencia um sentimento de confiança e segurança, indo de encontro aos fundamentos da psicoterapia existencial. Nos processos sem indicadores de mudança, verifica-se uma atitude defensiva por parte dos pacientes, fazendo-nos reflectir sobre o papel da aliança terapêutica como factor facilitador da mudança psicoterapêutica. Discutimos o papel do terapeuta, do paciente, e da relação terapêutica, estabelecendo os paralelismos necessários entre a investigação em psicoterapia e os fundamentos da psicoterapia existencial.
ABSTRACT: There is a scarcity of studies that characterize the therapeutic process in existential psychotherapy. In this work, we characterize the second six months of four therapeutic processes of existential orientation, lasting approximately 48 sessions. We used PQS (Psychotherapy Process Q-set) as process measures, and produced quotations by listening to the sessions. As outcome measure we used CORE-OM (Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure), with pre- and post-treatment measures. The data that emerged from the analysis of the four dyads suggest concordance with the fundaments of existential psychotherapy. We verified an empathetic, responsive and committed attitude by the therapists, in an atmosphere marked by understanding and acceptance of the patient's way of being. There was a focus on the current situation of the patient's lives, referring them to the here and now. The results revealed the existence of change indicators in two of the four analyzed dyads. with a maintenance of therapist attitudes in the two groups of processes. In the therapeutic processes with change indicators, we point out the existence of a therapeutic relationship with low expression of ambivalence, with an evident sentiment of trust and security, in accordance with the fundaments of existential psychotherapy. In the processes without change indicators, the patients had a defensive attitude, leading us to reflect upon the role of the therapeutic alliance as a facilitating agent of psychotherapeutic change. We discuss the role of the therapist, the patient and the therapeutic relationship, establishing the necessary parallels between research in psychotherapy and the fundaments of existential psychotherapy.

Gallant, Mike. "'Moments of meeting' in psychotherapeutic relationships : a biographic/visual inquiry." Thesis, University of Bristol, 2014. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.665152.
Full textAbstract:
From Rogers (1961) to Stern (2004) counselling and psychotherapy practitioner-researchers have identified special moments of psychological contact within psychotherapeutic relationships that are recognisably different. These moments have a particular relational quality of 'oneness' and have been seen as indicators of movement towards change and development: a greater understanding of these seemingly palpable, but ineffable, moments may therefore contribute to the wider ideal of improvement in the art and science of psychotherapeutic praxis. Using a bricolage of visual and performance methodologies, this inquiry sought to capture psychological therapists' experiences of these 'moments of meeting' in the form of sculptural artefacts. Approximately forty co-researcher/ participants were an opportunistic sample taken from professionals attending two counselling/ psychotherapy conferences. In wishing to discover the most appropriate format for dissemination of the first cycle of inquiry, the author embarked on a second cycle that offers a discovery of the data as a script, incorporating a personal narrative of his own research journey and the words of a further half dozen colleagues. This script was then performed to another conference audience of just less than twenty counselling professionals: an audio-visual record of this performance is provided. It is suggested that the credibility of this research relies predominantly on the catalytic validity (Lather, 1986a) created through the research process and ongoing dissemination, which encourages a holistic appreciation of the cognitive, emotional, and physiological impacts of the data. This work does not seek to demonstrate findings, nor even explication, so much as offer description and opportunity: the author invites the target audience (psychotherapeutic practitioners) to immerse themselves in the images, the narrative, and the accompanying audio-visual digital files.

Full textAbstract:
Evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods compete with each other, while meta-analysis have shown that variability due to different methods related to outcome is remarkably low. In this qualitative study six former patients were interviewed about experiences of method and technique in Affect-focused therapy, with a slight overweight towards unsatisfactory experiences. Responses were analysed and categorised in emergent themes. Methodological focus on affect showed to be a much appreciated, as well as insufficient, element. Alongside positive experiences or summaries of therapy, methodological frames were felt to be at times restrictive, even invalidating, as far as not allowing focus on what was felt to be the more predominant need. These needs were varied and individual; e.g. more/less of undetermined space free of preconceptions, more/less focus on affect, more direction forward, or more space for existentially oriented aspects. Results found good support in previous research except for a strong validation of therapists, even when aspects of therapy had been severely problematic. Experiences of applied method differed extremely among participants. The study highlighted lack of relation between method and outcome, and that positive regard of therapy and alliance were not synonymous with good outcome. Prominent themes were quality of methodological focus on affect and of therapeutic relationship, basic humanistic values, and individual factors of variance. Future research was suggested to focus on integration of methods, on therapists’ common factors, as well as on issues of power in the therapeutic relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA (Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sexual relationships in the psychotherapeutic setting have always been regarded as unethical and sexual attraction between therapist and client has generally proved to be awkward and anxiety provoking for those involved. Although research indicates that these relationships do occur, and that sexual feelings between therapists and clients are not infrequent, there is little conceptual clarity on the dynamics thereof. Consequently, the available guidelines and ethical rules regulating such sexual contact generally take the form of “thou shalt not…” and provide limited assistance to therapists in managing such situations in a manner that protects the integrity of the therapeutic relationship. This review assumes the presence of the psychodynamic phenomenon of transference in all psychotherapeutic relationships, and constructs sexual attraction and contact as the product of the sub-concept of erotic transference. Against this background, the review presents the dynamics of erotic transference in terms of its nature, impact and management. On this basis, current ethical codes and training issues are reviewed, guidelines for proper prevention and management are suggested and important directions for future research are identified.

Full textAbstract:
M.A. (Clinical Psychology)This study traces the description of Paradox as a therapeutic measure by numerous therapists since Erikson first used the paradox in the form of positive reframing during the thirties. Major theoretical definitions of the paradoxical communication are reviewed. The therapeutic Paradoxical intervention is categorized into a series of relatively circumscribed intervention strategies, each of which shares theoretical similarities but emphasizes different aspects of the paradox. The paradoxical intervention has been utilized in a number of ways depending on the epistemological premise of the therapist, and the theory of change accepted within this epistemology. The study initially discusses the paradoxical intervention as designed as an isolated intervention within a linear cause and effect paradigm. Within a context of power and control, the paradoxical intervention was used by therapists of the Mental Research Institute (Watzlavick et a1. 1977) to emphasize and maintain the hierarchical distinction between the therapists and patient. The Strategic approaches including those of Fisch, Weakland and Segal (1982) Haley (1963) and Papp (1979) involve direct and planned influence of persons and are based, in large part, on an analysis of the power relationships that they aim to modify (Golann 1988.) According to Bogdan (1982) the Milan approach even with its systemic circular approach, involves the use of the paradoxical intervention as a means of simultaneously influencing the behavior of all the members of a family. The paradoxical intervention is discussed within a circular cybernetic paradigm following De Shazer's (1982) explanation of a therapeutic intervention. De Shazer (1982) sees the paradoxical intervention as one type of intervention within a pattern of isomorphic interventions, and stresses the necessity for this intervention to follow the family interaction patterns. De Shazer developed the concept of Isomorphism and used this as a prescriptive tool for guiding the therapists efforts to promote change, by intervening from a different angle, based on the description of family patterns. Where the family's interactive patterns are paradoxical in nature, a paradoxical intervention would be appropriate. With this emphasis on a more encompassing pattern of interventions based on patterns of client-family interactions, the significance of the feedback processes within the relationship between therapist and client in the design and utilization of the paradoxical intervention is stressed. The study concludes that the psychotherapeutic relationship between the therapist system and the client system can be seen to contextualize and provide meaning to the paradoxical intervention.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is to gain insight aversive feelings experienced by therapists to the clients. Determine the causal characteristics of aversive feeling and their processing. The task is to examine whether there are links between the detected phenomena. The method of data collection, are interviews with a group of psychotherapists. When analyzing the responses I used qualitative methodology, specifically the Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory. The work is divided into theoretical part and empirical part. The theoretical part describes aspects affecting the therapeutic process, as well as forms of aversive feelings and their possible consequences on the therapeutic relationship. In the empirical part are presented and interpreted data obtained from interviews, which are analyzed. The main results include: aversive feelings experienced by the therapists include helplessness, frustration, anger, and frustration, exhaustion, disgust, fear and threats, abuse and failure. Aversive feelings occur depending on situational and personal characteristics of therapists and clients. A significant factor that contributes to...

Master Thesis Eva Königsmarková Specific approach to the clients within psychotherapeutic relationship built by the body- oriented psychotherapists as one of the main aspect of their work Abstract For the time being, body-oriented psychotherapy is not commonlly used in the Czech Republic. Moreover, specialized literature provides mainly information about individual branches, where psychotherapy works with the body, but a complex picture is lacking. Therefore, the master thesis tries to address body-oriented psychotherapy comprehensively. Its theoretical part defines general aspects of and introduces practices used in this branch, presents its ethical principles and names several studies, which were carried out in this field. Individual therapeutical approaches are described in the conclusion. The empirical part is based on research, which maps the means of body-oriented psychotherapists. Through interviews with five psychotherapists and analysis of the interviews, where grounded theory is applied, we discover that the key aspect used in the work is a specific approach towards the clients, which is decisive for the existence of a psychotherapeutical relationship between them and the client. Body-oriented psychotherapists consider such relationship as one of the key factors of efficient therapy. The...

Full textAbstract:
In this work I deal with the question of whether the use of the concept of overdetermination is coherent across 1) psychoanalytic theoretical and case studies and 2) different psychoanalytic directions. Based on the analysis of the most cited case studies dealing with the topic of narcissism in the field of Kleinian and Relational psychoanalysis, I come to the conclusion that the use of the concept of overdetermination is not completely coherent in psychoanalysis. This incoherence may be due to the different attitudes of different authors to abstract metapsychological assumptions. Narcissism of small differences, which in my opinion is evident between representatives of different psychoanalytic directions, can also play a role. And last but not least, it is possible to look at this incoherence as the result of so-called implicit theories, i.e. not entirely official and conscious theories that psychoanalysts follow in the course of their practical clinical work.

Module I, was developed in an Integrated Project of Community Support which belonged to IDT; module II occurred in Santo Tirso/ Trofa, location site for Magalhães Lemos Hospital; the last, and optional module, was performed in the Infancy and Adolescent Psychiatrics Department of Centro Hospitalar do Porto. For each module, where developed specific goals, with activities of support, and described which competencies were developed. Being adolescence a period of transition for adult life, it is also a period for experimenting, taking risks, and also be exposed to vulnerabilities. It is important for a specialised nurse to know how to promote healthy life styles, be able to intervene early in Mental Health, and also to promote the modification of risk factors and protecting factors, never forgetting family as a major importance factor to protect the patient. During an intervention for treatment of complex situations, it is important for the nurse to know how to establish a therapeutic relationship and a relationship of aid with the patient and its family and being able to perform Psychotherapeutic Interventions adapted to the patient needs which can occur in a group context, individually, and also in its family.

This study explores trainees' experiences of power dynamics within a
ritualised training context, with reference to the three major aspects of the study:
training, ritual and power. The psychotherapeutic training took place at Agape, a
community-based counselling service in Mamelodi, whose theoretical approach to
training included a mixture of postmodern, ecosystemic and African traditions. A
substantial literature survey examines the major concepts and issues related to the
research subject, such as psychotherapeutic training approaches, the philosophies and
theories that may inform training procedures, ritual practices in psychotherapy, and
organisational and power aspects of psychotherapeutic training. The research process
was executed using the qualitative, interpretive research methodology. A sample of
six of the trainees who had completed their training at this placement was
interviewed, and two of the trainers. The researcher's reflections on her own training
experiences are woven into the material. Using the interview technique and through
asking a series of open-ended questions, the researcher obtained an account of the
subjective, sacralised training interactions at Agape. Themes were identified that had
emerged during the interview process. In brief, the themes referred to trainees'
theoretical and practical experiences in the training placement, how they made sense
of the sacralised therapeutic experiences, and comments on their relationship with
trainers and fellow trainees. The most common theme that emerged was that of
power. The end product of this study portrays the trainees' understandings of power
within a sacralised psychotherapeutic context and their responses to this. This study
makes explicit the links between ritualisation and power within an evaluative
psychotherapeutic training context, and the consequences of this for training.Psychology

Full textAbstract:
Text in EnglishEquine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a form of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) used to treat individuals’ psychological problems. EAP is an interactive process in which a licensed mental health practitioner, a credentialed equine professional and suitable equines work together to address psychotherapy goals. Since the 1990s, research on EAP has grown rapidly in the United States of America (USA) and Europe, however research in the South African context is lacking. This descriptive and exploratory research study explored and described the experiences of licensed mental health practitioners and/or credentialed equine specialists who have included EAP within their practise by focusing on the role that equines play within the psychotherapeutic process. The knowledge of this study was derived from a Constructivistic epistemology. Constructivism argues that humans attain and build knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Participants were selected based on purposeful criterion sampling. Only licensed mental health practitioners or credentialed equine specialists who included EAP within their practise, registered at the Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Institute of South Africa (EAPISA) or the Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) were considered for participation. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with six participants. A post-interview follow-up email was used to gain additional feedback from each participant. Finally, data was analysed using thematic analysis. As EAP is a fairly new modality of therapy within South Africa, the contribution of this study is to add to the growing body of professional EAP literature. Thematic analysis identified seven main themes: shifting dynamics in the therapeutic relationship, setting the scene for storytelling, the equine as an intermediary and therapeutic tool, what the equine sees is what you get, instantaneous but lasting results, variations and similarities in approach and activities, the emotive motives of EAP practitioners. These themes are discussed in relation to the research findings. Findings of this study showed substantial agreement in what the equine brings to the psychotherapeutic session: unique equine attributes, opportunities for metaphorical learning, and relational aspects. The participants demonstrated a consensus in the belief that EAP can be beneficial to a large spectrum of psychotherapeutic populations in South Africa. A recommendation for future research is for larger, international studies that explore the viewpoints of psychotherapists who practice equine therapies in other countries in order to expand the knowledge base and address the competency and standards discussion in the EAP field.
