“…If this line of reasoning is correct, systematically and rigorously documented case studies might improve the idiographic aspects of EBP, making a clinician's intuitively developed expertise explicitly and transparently formalized, conceptualized, articulated, and critically reflected upon. There are, of course, other rationales for the use of case studies in theory testing (e.g., Stiles, in press) and in the inductive generation of best practice guidelines from aggregated case studies of the same type (Edwards 2008;Fishman, 2005;Watson, Goldman, & Greenberg, 2007). Both Edwards (2008) and Huppert et al (2008) raise the question of whether our Aarhus Anxiety Clinic is based on the best available evidence.…”

This paper responds to commentaries by Edwards (2008) and Huppert, Carmeli and Gilon (2008) on the case study of a special format of intensive, group cognitive-behavioral therapy for social phobia in an Anxiety Clinic run by the Department of Psychology of the University of Aarhus in Denmark . My response addresses the following topics: 1) case studies and evidence-based practice; 2) the evidence-basis of the Aarhus treatment program; 3) mechanisms of change in psychotherapy; 4) the Aarhus clients and their treatment in the program; 5) the Aarhus trainees and their learning; and 6) differences between the training program of Huppert et al. in Jerusalem and our Aarhus program.

“…Watson, Goldman e Greenberg (2007), referem que os casos com melhores resultados terapêuticos parecem estar tanto associados a relações terapêuticas de qualidade desde o início do processo como à capacidade do paciente estar atento e processar a informação emocional. De forma geral, o que distinguiu os pacientes com bom resultado terapêutico dos com fraco resultado foram diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento relativamente ao seu nível de regulação do afecto, estádio de mudança, a formulação de uma narrativa coerente e a capacidade de reflectirem sobre si próprios (para um desenvolvimento do tema ver e.g., Watson, Goldman, & Greenberg, 2007). Pacientes que estão conscientes dos seus sentimentos e que são capazes de os diferenciar respondem mais rapidamente à terapia do que pacientes que têm que desenvolver essas competências.…”

É repetidamente referido na literatura que pacientes alexitímicos têm piores resultados em psicoterapia. Tendo como referência que as características associadas ao conceito de alexitimia reflectem défices ao nível do processamento emocional, não só ao nível da regulação emocional, mas também dos processos subjacentes, como a consciência e a experienciação emocionais e a expressão e a diferenciação emocional, sugere-se que com pacientes com funcionamento alexitímico seja necessário um maior enfoque terapêutico ao nível das tarefas emocionais. Neste trabalho salientamos as dificuldades que podem ocorrer ao nível da aliança terapêutica e discutem-se as implicações para as tomadas de decisão clínica. Através de uma análise crítica da literatura apontamos a importância de ter em conta esta dimensão na conceptualização de caso, no sentido de antecipar dificuldades ao nível da relação terapêutica e de se optar por objectivos mais focados nos processos subjacentes à alexitimia do que nas suas consequências.Palavras-chave: Alexitimia, Processos emocionais, Psicoterapia, Relação terapêutica. "As emoções são intermináveis. Quanto mais as exprimimos, mais maneiras temos de as exprimir." (Edward Organ Forster)O conceito alexitimia tem sido amplamente estudado, sendo as características que compõem o mesmo de extrema relevância no processo terapêutico. Ao longo deste artigo refletimos acerca das vivências emocionais de pacientes com características alexitímicas e quais as suas implicações para o processo terapêutico. Pretende-se repensar a alexitimia em termos de processos psicológicos específicos, de forma a melhorar a intervenção junto de pacientes com este tipo de funcionamento. ALEXITIMIAAlexitimia etimologicamente significa "sem palavras para os sentimentos" (Sifneos, 1973). Deriva do Grego e do Latim -Sem ("a") palavras ("lexus") para emoções ("thymus"). O termo foi inicialmente usado por Sifneos (1973) para designar um grupo de características cognitivas e afectivas típicas de pacientes com patologia somática.

“…In EFT, depression is seen to result from problems in affect regulation as a result of maladaptive, blocked, and unprocessed emotional experience (Greenberg, Elliot, & Foerster, 1990;Greenberg & Watson, 2005;Watson, Goldman & Greenberg, 2007). A goal of EFT therapists is to help clients access and process their emotional experiences and construct new meanings and ways of being in the world.…”

The objective in this paper is to present a case drawn from a series of randomized clinical trials (RCT) comparing brief (16-20 sessions), emotion-focused therapy (EFT) the process experiential approach with client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in the treatment of depression. A case comparison method that triangulates data from clients' histories, in-session process, post-session questionnaires, and post-therapy outcome measures was used to increase understanding of those factors that contribute to successful and unsuccessful outcomes. The case comparison method examines the role of the working alliance, clients' emotional processing, clients' and therapists' interpersonal processes, and clients' cognitive processing, as well as the specific changes that clients report immediately following their sessions that have been found to be related to therapeutic outcomes. The method is illustrated with two examples one a poor outcome case and the other a good outcome case The poor outcome case of "Tom" is presented in this article, and the good outcome case of "Eloise" is presented in the next article by Goldman, Watson, and Greenberg (2011). These two cases extend and build on the cases presented by the authors in their book Case Studies in Emotion-Focused Treatment of Depression: A Comparison of Good and Poor Outcome (Watson, Goldman, & Greenberg, 2007), in which six clients, three good outcome and three poor outcome, were compared and contrasted using the case-comparison method.
