“…It should be stressed that the high frequency of cycles of change, combined with the characteristic Connection of the first sessions (associated with a good potential treatment) apparently contrast with the absence of new cycles in the continuation of the therapeutic process. One factor to consider is that the author of TCM (Buchheim & Mergenthaler, 2002) points out that the high proportion of Connection can be associated with a ‘pseudo-psychological language’ phenomenon where the patient appears to be ‘pseudo-analytical’ to address emerging conflicts, indicating ‘pseudo-insights’ on a superficial level.…”

Aim: to describe and understand an interrupted psychotherapy of a patient with Borderline Personality Disorder. Method: systematic, naturalistic and exploratory case study of the therapeutic dyad. The Therapeutic Cycles Model (TCM) and the Psychotherapy Process Q-Set (PQS) were the instruments used. Results: according to TCM, the case can be divided into two stages: one with cycles of change and one without cycles of change. According to the PQS, the themes addressed by the dyad were relevant to psychotherapy and related to patient diagnosis. However, the patient seemed to be uncommitted to the therapeutic process and did not rely on the therapist to solve her problems. The therapist's attitudes were adequate but technical interventions were not prominent. The combination of patient and therapist data assisted in understanding why the psychotherapy was abandoned. Keywords: therapeutic process; dropout of treatment; therapeutic process and outcome; psychodynamic psychotherapy; process of change Resumen: Objetivo: describir y comprender una psicoterapia interrumpida con paciente con Trastorno de Personalidad Borderline. Método: estudio de caso sistemático, naturalístico y exploratorio de dupla paciente-terapeuta. Fue utilizada la conjugación de los instrumentos Therapeutic Cycles Model (TCM) y Psychotherapy Process Q-Set (PQS). Resultados: según el TCM, el caso puede ser dividido en dos etapas: una con ciclos de cambio y una sin ciclos de cambio. Según el PQS, los contenidos abordados por la dupla eran pertinentes para la psicoterapia y relacionados al diagnóstico del paciente. Sin embargo, la paciente se revelaba descomprometida con el proceso y pasó a no contar con la terapeuta para resolver sus problemas. Las actitudes de la terapeuta eran adecuadas, pero no fueron evidenciadas técnicas características.

“…In order to catch such changes in latent semantic structures, we have to use methods especially designed for this purpose, such as computer-supported text analysis (cf. Arvidsson et al, submitted; Bucci, 1997; Bucci & Maskit, 2006; Buchheim & Mergenthaler, 2002; Mergenthaler, 2008; Mergenthaler & Bucci, 1999).…”

The present study explores the changes in young adult patients' representations of their parents from prior to psychotherapy through long-term follow-up. Twenty-five women and 16 men from the Young Adult Psychotherapy Project (YAPP) were interviewed according to Sidney Blatt's unstructured Object Relations Inventory prior to psychoanalytic psychotherapy, at termination and at the 1.5-year follow-up, comprising 123 interviews in all. Typologies of the 246 parental descriptions were constructed by means of ideal-type analysis for male

“…Perhaps the most common method for computerized text analysis is Content Analysis (CA), a method based on frequency counts of words that are matched to pre-defined word lists thematically ordered into categories according to some theoretically anchored assumptions (cf., Bucci, 1997;Bucci & Maskit, 2006;Buchheim & Mergenthaler, 2002;Mergenthaler, 2008;Mergenthaler & Bucci, 1999). In contrast, LSA is an inductive method that first builds up an extensive semantic representation of language and which allows for studying semantic changes in object representations without theory-driven measures that otherwise could influence the results.…”

We propose a theory-neutral, computational and data-driven method for assessing changes in semantic content of object representations following long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy. Young adults in psychotherapy are compared with an age-matched, non-clinical sample at three time points. Verbatim transcripts of descriptions of the self and parents were quantified in a semantic space constructed by Latent Semantic Analysis. In the psychotherapy group, all representations changed from baseline to follow-up, whereas no comparable changes could be observed in the comparison group. The semantic space method supports the hypothesis that long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy contributes to sustained change of affective-cognitive schemas of self and others.
