“…As would be expected, patients who received CB therapy found their therapists to emphasize the cognitive change of a patient's attitudes, while patients receiving PD treatments described their therapists as focusing more on relationships (both early and current). Most recently, a study by Crits‐Christoph et al (1999) investigated the use interpersonal narratives in IP and CB treatment. IP therapy contained a significantly greater number of interpersonal narratives than CB treatment, suggesting a greater emphasis of interpersonal experiences in IP than CB therapy.…”

The present article is a review of the comparative psychotherapy process literature. It is an effort to delineate techniques and processes that distinguish two prominent forms of treatment. Seven interventions stood out as distinguishing psychodynamic‐interpersonal therapy from cognitive‐behavioral treatment: (1) a focus on affect and the expression of patients’ emotions; (2) an exploration of patients’ attempts to avoid topics or engage in activities that hinder the progress of therapy; (3) the identification of patterns in patients’ actions, thoughts, feelings, experiences, and relationships; (4) an emphasis on past experiences; (5) a focus on a patients’ interpersonal experiences; (6) an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship; and (7) an exploration of patients’ wishes, dreams, or fantasies. A better understanding of the specific techniques and processes that distinguish psychodynamic‐interpersonal from cognitive‐behavioral therapy can facilitate process‐outcome research, aid in the training and teaching of psychodynamic‐interpersonal psychotherapy, and provide psychodynamic‐interpersonal therapists with a guide for session activity.

“…A multiplicity of discursive positions constitutes the identity of a person, not only in his/her dialog with another person, but also with the other positions of his or her own inner world (i.e., polyphonic metaphor; Bakhtin, 1986 ). Some of these positions could be under conscious control, temporally or permanently, and could dominate external and internal dialogs ( Crits-Christoph et al, 1999 ; Gonçalves and Guilfoyle, 2006 ; Dimaggio and Stiles, 2007 ). Sometimes, this excessive control impedes dialog and the consideration of his or her other positions.…”

Discourse-voice regulatory strategies in the psychotherapeutic interaction: a state-space dynamics analysis

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study seeks to provide evidence of the dynamics associated with the configurations of discourse-voice regulatory strategies in patient–therapist interactions in relevant episodes within psychotherapeutic sessions. Its central assumption is that discourses manifest themselves differently in terms of their prosodic characteristics according to their regulatory functions in a system of interactions. The association between discourse and vocal quality in patients and therapists was analyzed in a sample of 153 relevant episodes taken from 164 sessions of five psychotherapies using the state space grid (SSG) method, a graphical tool based on the dynamic systems theory (DST). The results showed eight recurrent and stable discourse-voice regulatory strategies of the patients and three of the therapists. Also, four specific groups of these discourse-voice strategies were identified. The latter were interpreted as regulatory configurations, that is to say, as emergent self-organized groups of discourse-voice regulatory strategies constituting specific interactional systems. Both regulatory strategies and their configurations differed between two types of relevant episodes: Change Episodes and Rupture Episodes. As a whole, these results support the assumption that speaking and listening, as dimensions of the interaction that takes place during therapeutic conversation, occur at different levels. The study not only shows that these dimensions are dependent on each other, but also that they function as a complex and dynamic whole in therapeutic dialog, generating relational offers which allow the patient and the therapist to regulate each other and shape the psychotherapeutic process that characterizes each type of relevant episode.

“…Conflict with romantic partners, children, and parents is the focus in the field of family and couples therapy. However, interpersonal problems are also one of the most common reasons for seeking individual treatment (Horowitz, 1979), and discussion of interpersonal relationships comprises much of the content of individual therapy sessions (Crits-Christoph, et al, 1999).…”

However, the low response rate and the lack of objective criteria for determining the clinical skills of the peer-nominated clinicians raise concerns about whether these participants were expert therapists. Additional limitations and future directions are discussed.
