“…In order to examine the role that therapist behaviour in the two locations might play in these differences in participant behaviour, we analysed the therapist verbal behaviour in the extracts using the Hill Therapist Verbal Response Category system (Hill, 1978). This measure has been widely used within psychotherapy process research and classifies therapist or counsellor behaviours into 14 categories.…”

Objectives: This paper reports two related analyses of verbal material from seven Living Well with Dementia groups: the first examines changes in the verbal behaviours of participants across the course of the sessions in all seven groups; while the second contrasts therapist behaviour in two groups. Methods: In the first analysis, recordings of three sessions from each group were transcribed and participant descriptions of dementia were analysed using the Markers of Assimilation of Problematic Experiences of Dementia (MAPED) rating procedure. In the second analysis, therapist behaviour in weeks 2 and 8 from two groups (F and G) was analysed using the Hill Counsellor Verbal response rating scale. Inter-rater reliabilities for the two sets of ratings were 'good' and 'very good', respectively. Results: For the MAPED ratings, a five by four contingency table was analysed using chi-squared, which indicated a highly significant change in assimilation. There were significant higher levels of level 1 and 2 markers in the first two sessions and level 4 for sessions 5 and 6. Facilitators used significantly more direct guidance and information giving behaviour in the second session at Location F compared to Location G. Conclusions:The results suggest that important changes occurred in the way that dementia was described across the seven LivDem groups: this includes both reductions in the avoidance of direct references to dementia after the first two sessions, as well as an increase in 'insight' statements. Directive facilitator behaviour may be associated with poorer outcomes.

This report provides a descriptive evaluation of the therapist interventions implemented in the cognitive and interpersonal sessions of the Treatment ofPsychotherapy manuals have become standard in the implementation of psychotherapy research protocols and have been recommended as important clinical training tools for practicing clinicians (1) and trainees (2). The use of manuals in training therapists has been shown to reduce the amount of outcome variance attributable to differences between therapists (3) Further, competence in specific manualized treatment techniques has been shown to predict the outcome of psychotherapy (4-6).

“…The HSS is a revision of the hill counselor verbal response category system (Hill, 1978) and consists in 12 nominal and mutually exclusive categories of therapist's interventions, organized around three major categories, namely exploration, insight and action skills. Exploration skills (related to an exploration phase of psychotherapy, aim to deepen emotional exploration in the client) group approval and reassurance, closed questions, open questions, restatements and reflection of feelings.…”

Previous laboratory studies have explored the importance of participants adopting an immersed or distanced perspective in the analysis of their experiences. These studies concluded that distancing allows analyzing emotions in a healthier way and immersion leads to higher vulnerability. However, in psychotherapy, the relationship between these perspectives and clinical change has been less investigated. The present study aims to contribute to understanding how these variables evolve during psychotherapy and also to explore the therapist’s contributions to this process. This study analyzes a good-outcome case of emotion-focused therapy for depression through two observational measures of psychotherapy process: the <em>measure of immersed and distanced speech</em> – which identifies client’s adoption of an immersed or distanced stance when talking about their problems – and the <em>helping skills system</em> – which identifies therapist’s interventions focused on exploration, insight or action. Results showed a decrease of immersed speech and an increase of distanced speech along the process, with a higher frequency of exploration skills preceding both types of client’s speech. Finally, the evolution of therapist’s and client’s speech showed a reasonable flexibility of therapeutic dialogue throughout the sessions, in particular due to the evolution of client variables (evidencing a higher diversity of behaviors).
