“…These results have not been found in therapists who position themselves against the similar effectiveness of psychotherapies. This confirms the notion that assuming the equivalence of the effectiveness of the different psychotherapeutic models means accepting, as a result, the primordial value for the psychotherapeutic process of the common elements, and including those of an emotional nature, that these models share (Caro, 2018). This reasoning is based on the fact that the similar effectiveness of psychotherapies would be explained precisely by these shared elements rather than by the elements that differentiate them, a topic that has been widely discussed in the body of research on psychotherapeutic processes (Blair-Gómez, 2015;Wachtel et al, 2020).…”

Attributed Contribution of Therapist’s Emotional Variables to Psychotherapeutic Effectiveness: A Preliminary Study

et al. 2021

BackgroundThe aim of this manuscript is to analyze the degrees of responsibility for healing that psychotherapists attribute to a set of emotional variables of the therapist involved in the therapeutic process. Such variables, framed within the well-known common factors in psychotherapy, have been proven to be essential in making the therapeutic process effective, as has been shown by research in psychotherapy in recent decades.Materials and MethodsBased on an extensive literature review, the responses from a sample of 69 psychotherapists to a tool created ad hoc are analyzed to verify whether their attributions are in line with the results of said review.ResultsThe therapists have doubts about the factors responsible for psychotherapeutic effectiveness, as well as about the value of common variables, including those of an emotional nature, not valuing them above those of a specific type. They also argue against the similar effectiveness of different psychotherapeutic models.ConclusionDiscrepancies have thus been found between the conclusions reached by research on therapeutic processes and the statements made by the therapists studied, which could indicate an insufficient impact of psychotherapeutic research on clinical practice. We also propose courses of action such as establishing training programs for the acquisition and development of emotional skills for therapists that could increase the effectiveness of their interventions.

“…Consumers with difficult pasts involving trauma and abuse sought to use their grief and distress productively and to process sadness and suffering willingly (Van Lith et al, 2011). These are concepts shared in both art creation and psychotherapy, where self‐reconciliation and integration are interwoven (Caro, 2018). Artwork and creative artefacts can become symbolic building blocks for psychological issues and integration (Llewellyn‐Beardsley et al, 2019).…”

Accessible summary What is known on the subject? Arts‐based research is an established and accepted research approach and systematic reviews have been published on this methodology. There are many possible data collection techniques and study designs within arts‐based research, which have been implemented but not yet systematically reviewed. Rationales and challenges for arts‐based research have covered participants’ experiences of being in arts‐based studies in health service research. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? The main results of this systematic review are that mental health recovery concepts are effectively communicated by visual arts‐based research and participation in these studies is progressive and connecting for mental health consumers. This paper adds new knowledge about participants’ experiences specifically in visual arts‐based studies, where the participants are mental health consumers. The results are significant because they support visual arts‐based research in its development and popularity, both as a research approach and as an empowerment intervention. What are the implications for practice? The results of this systematic review can enhance the fields of qualitative research methods and mental health nursing. Recommendations for professional development can be advanced from consumers’ ideas and experiences of recovery reported in this review. Nurse scientists and consumer researchers can take into consideration visual arts‐based data collection techniques for use as research and empowerment interventions with mental health consumer participants. Abstract Introduction Art creation has been found to be therapeutic to mental health consumers, making the prospect of art creation's conceivable benefits as a mental health research strategy worthy of consideration. Aim This systematic review aims to explore experiences of recovery among adults with a mental illness using visual art methods. Method Following a comprehensive database search, 14 suitable studies were identified. These involved adult participants with a formal mental health diagnosis, or who self‐identify as having a mental illness. The studies employed arts‐based methodologies with participant‐created, visual art as their data. Articles underwent data extraction and quality appraisal with the JBI‐QARI (Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument). Results Results were categorised and further aggregated into two synthesised findings according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. The synthesised findings are: (1) Creative artmaking enables the use of visual metaphors which can aid expression of feelings, externalisation of identity, and personal learning, and (2) Interpersonal and self‐connectedness through inclusion in community, receiving support when needed, and progressing through loss, are beneficial for mental health recovery. Discussion These findings are comparable to those already existing in the literature, and suggest that visual arts‐based research methods are as dependable as other qualitat...

“…In recent research on therapeutic outcomes and processes, there seems to be a broad consensus that common factors are primarily responsible for therapeutic change [ 11 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Thus, research on common factors indicates that 85% of change is due to such elements present in all psychotherapy modalities [ 23 , 24 ].…”

In recent decades, the study of psychotherapy effectiveness has been one of the pillars of clinical research because of its implication for therapeutic cure. However, although many studies have focused their interest on the patient’s perception, there are no instruments oriented to the study of psychotherapists’ attributions of effectiveness: to what factors psychotherapists attribute responsibility for the cure of the therapies they provide. The present study aimed to develop and validate an instrument for assessing the attribution of the effectiveness of psychotherapy in a population of 69 psychotherapists of different theoretical orientations. After an initial process of inter-judge content validation, 12 items were selected for validation in the targeted population, adequately fulfilling the quality requirements in the validity–reliability tests, and grouped into four factors after principal component analysis. These factors were as follows: (1) therapeutic alliance enhancers; (2) psychotherapist emotional characteristics; (3) therapy-specific variables; and (4) facilitators of patient engagement with therapy. This four-factor structure also showed a good fit for the fit indices checked in confirmatory factor analysis. In summary, we can conclude that the Psychotherapeutic Effectiveness Attribution Questionnaire (PEAQ-12) developed in our research can be helpful if tested on a larger number of individuals. The results can be replicated in other populations of psychotherapists.
