“…Despite in their meta-analysis Baldwin and Imel (2013) found that therapist effects accounted for only 3% of the variability in client outcome, Johns et al (2019) reported higher evidence of the therapist's role in the clients' outcomes, with effect sizes ranging from 8% to 17%. Among the more studied therapist's characteristics there are attachment style (Heinonen & Nissen-Lie, 2020), personality (Delgadillo et al, 2020), empathy (Elliott et al, 2018), reflective functioning (Reading et al, 2019), well-being (Palma & Gondim, 2021), and defense mechanisms (Vaillant, 2020). Therefore, the intent of this systematic review is not to demonstrate that integrity is the only variable involved in achieving therapeutic objectives but to highlight that Key Practitioner Message it is also an important dimension, able to interact with other unspecific factors in influencing the outcome.…”

Treatment integrity is defined as the extent to which the treatment has been implemented according to a specific theoretical model. It consists of two components: adherence, that is, the degree to which the therapist implements the techniques prescribed by the theoretical model, and competence, that is, the degree to which the therapist skilfully and appropriately implements the techniques prescribed by the model. Recently, the issue of integrity is gaining increasing importance in psychotherapy research, especially in an attempt to clarify its role in influencing the effectiveness of treatments. However, most studies focus on the individual setting. Therefore, this systematic review aims at investigating the relationship between integrity and outcome in group clinical treatments. Results highlighted a positive relationship between group treatment integrity and outcome. Moreover, this review provided insights for implications for research, clinical practice, and training of therapists, identifying questions that still need to be answered and tracing possible future research directions.

“…PL, in turn, comprises a sense of direction and pursuing personally meaningful goals (Ryff, 2018). Both dimensions have been empirically related to positive mental health outcomes (Palma & Gondim, 2021; Ryff, 2018). In the COVID‐19 context, for instance, Mirabito and Verhaeghen (2022) found that an online mindfulness‐based intervention with college students was associated with lower psychological distress and higher environmental mastery.…”

Men's mental health has been severely affected during the COVID‐19 pandemic, with many studies focussing on the determinants of men's psychological distress. This study aimed at examining the relationships between mindfulness, environmental mastery (EM), purpose in life (PL) and indicators of psychological distress (i.e., common mental disorders and perceived stress). This was a cross‐sectional online study in which participants were 1,006 men aged between 29 and 39 years (45.1%), residing in Brazil during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic. A parallel multiple mediator model was used to test the study variables' relationships, using mindfulness as the independent variable and indicators of psychological distress as the dependent variables. Results indicated that EM and PL significantly mediated the effects of mindfulness on men's psychological distress, lowering its levels and accounting for 31% of common mental disorders and 51% of perceived stress. Implications for public health policies and clinical practice are discussed.

Guided by the Person‐of‐the Therapist Training (POTT) Model, the current qualitative study explores emotional experiences and emotion regulation strategies of emotionally focused trained therapists who work with high‐conflict couples in Turkey. Twenty‐one therapists who completed at least the externship in emotionally focused couple therapy (EFCT) and had prior or current clinical experience working with high‐conflict couple(s) were recruited through various social media platforms and professional organizations’ listservs. Semistructured individual interviews were conducted, audio‐recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data revealed five main themes: (1) Different Compelling Emotional Experiences of the Therapists, (2) Sun After Storm, (3) Triggers of Therapists’ Emotions, (4) Perceived Adaptive Emotion Regulation Strategies, and (5) Positive Impact of the Therapist's Regulation Strategies on the Therapy Process. Overall, the findings supported the three phases of the POTT model: namely, knowledge of self, access to self, and use of self. Our study demonstrates the need for integrating self‐of‐the‐therapist work into the clinical practice, training, and supervision of therapists working with distressed couples.
