“…Why would male therapists experience more countertransference than female therapists? Staczan et al ( 2017 ) found gender-related differences in therapeutic technique where male therapists tended to make more confrontative interventions, that is, interpretations of defense and resistance, whereas female therapists tended to intervene more on an empathic and supportive level. The gender difference is doubtless a complex issue, but one possible understanding of the gender difference in countertransference is that more emphasis on confrontative interventions evokes more reactions in the therapist (and presumably also in the patient) than if the therapist takes a more empathic stance.…”

Questionnaires need testing of reliability and factor structure before clinical use or research in new languages or cultures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Therapist Response Questionnaire (TRQ) in Sweden compared to corresponding factor analyses in USA and Italy. A national sample of psychotherapists (N=242) registered their countertransference with a single client using TRQ. The data were analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test factor structures from previous studies, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The CFA did not verify the factor structure from the previous studies. The EFA extracted seven factors as the best solution: Helpless/Inadequate, Overwhelmed/Disorganized, Hostile/Angry, Parental/Protective, Disengaged, Special/Overinvolved, Sexualized. Analysis of convergent validity indicated that five of these could be considered equivalent to factors in the previous studies, and the remaining two were conceptually related to corresponding factors. Even though the factor structure was not confirmed by the CFA, the concordance was large, indicating a reliable self-report instrument with promising validity for measurement of complex aspects of countertransference. Common countertransference themes can inform psychotherapy supervision and education, give feedback to the therapist, and lay ground for a taxonomy for therapist reactions and feelings.

“…Una primera limitación a considerar de la presente investigación, es que la composición de la muestra es en un 62% femenina. En la actualidad sabemos que el procesamiento emocional y la diferencia de género debe ser considerado ya que es un tema que sigue abierto a la investigación y debate a la luz de evidencia (Staczan et al, 2017).…”

Esta investigación estudia las diferencias entre los terapeutas cognitivos posracionalistas italianos y chilenos. Método. Se realizó un análisis transversal para comparar terapeutas en las cinco dimensiones de EPT. Para este propósito, se aplicó una prueba t. El cuestionario EPT-C se administró a una muestra total de 63 terapeutas cognitivos posracionales de ambas nacionalidades. Resultados Los resultados revelaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la función expresiva (p =, 004). Los terapeutas italianos mostraron los valores más altos. Conclusión. En las cinco funciones evaluadas por ETP solo se encontraron diferencias significativas para la función expresiva.

“…Sample 3 was recruited in a project on outpatients promoted by the Swiss Charta for Psychotherapy. The aim of this nonrandomized field study is to investigate various process-outcome aspects of outpatient treatments carried out with different experiential or psychodynamic therapy methods [ 26 – 28 ]. Cases from this sample were selected using the following criteria: At least one Axis I disorder according to the criteria of DSM-IV.…”

The Brief Symptom Inventory and the Outcome Questionnaire-45 in the Assessment of the Outcome Quality of Mental Health Interventions

Self-report questionnaires are economical instruments for routine outcome assessment. In this study, the performance of the German version of the Outcome Questionnaire-45 (OQ-45) and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) was evaluated when applied in analysis of the outcome quality of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic interventions. Pre-post data from two inpatient samples (N = 5711) and one outpatient sample (N = 239) were analyzed. Critical differences (reliable change index) and cut-off points between functional and dysfunctional populations were calculated using the Jacobson and Truax method of calculating clinical significance. Overall, the results indicated that the BSI was more accurate than the OQ-45 in correctly classifying patients as clinical subjects. Nonetheless, even with the BSI, about 25% of inpatients with schizophrenia attained a score at admission below the clinical cut-off. Both questionnaires exhibited the highest sensitivity to psychopathology with patients with personality disorders. When considering the differences in the prescores, both questionnaires showed the same sensitivity to change. The advantage of using these self-report measures is observed primarily in assessing outpatient psychotherapy outcome. In an inpatient setting two main problems—namely, the low response rate and the scarce sensitivity to psychopathology with severely ill patients—limit the usability of self-report questionnaires.
