“…There were no RCTs or tightly controlled manualized treatment approaches as are often used in brief psychotherapy research, which is somewhat reflective of research into psychodynamic styles of therapy in general. Some authors recommend that naturalistic studies observing the phenomena over time without the constraints of randomized control are best for psychotherapy research (Gelo, Pritz, & Rieken, 2015). However, this lack of control, standardization, and rigor makes it difficult to extrapolate findings and makes generalizing about effectiveness difficult.…”

“…On the other hand, the choice to conduct a pluralistic review appeals to the strengths of both quantitative and qualitative methodology (Munn et al, 2018) and attends to the idea of a comprehensive overview. Another challenge was appraising two research dimensions—process and outcome—as both are essential aspects of psychotherapy research (Gelo et al, 2015).…”

Children who are exposed to trauma often develop difficulties with reflective functioning, affect, and emotion regulation. These problems are thought to arise from and are reflective of disruptions in the process of mentalization, or the human capacity to interpret and reflect upon the thoughts, feelings, wishes, and intentions of oneself and others. This scoping review sought to describe the empirical support for focusing on mentalization processes in psychotherapy for children who have been exposed to trauma. Two independent researchers searched electronic databases, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, and Cochrane. Search terms child, trauma, mentalization and mentalization-based therapy were applied. A total of 425 studies were screened against the inclusion criteria, to include 18 studies comprising quasi-experimental, cross-sectional, naturalistic, case-control, and case studies. In all, 3 themes were identified across the articles: (a) trauma and mentalization, (b) measurement of mentalization, and (c) charting recovery. The literature suggests the role of mentalization treatment in the remission of symptoms for internalizing and externalizing disorders and shaping mentalization deficits over time. Mentalization focused treatments may also improve reflective functioning, emotional regulation capacity and the quality of attachment. The implementation of a child mentalization-based model as a preventative intervention may contribute to increased positive outcomes for vulnerable children. This scoping review presents an overview of the evidence for program developers, mental health services, family support services and those in independent practice that wish to adopt a mentalization approach in child psychotherapy. Future systematic reviews are needed to support this evidence. Clinical Impact StatementQuestion: What is the applied clinical practice question this article is hoping to address? This article explores the role of mentalization in child psychotherapy, interpersonal trauma, and recovery and considers the evidence for the association of mentalization with improved symptoms in children exposed to trauma. Findings: How would clinicians meaningfully use the primary findings of this article in their applied practice? This scoping review reveals that mentalization-based therapy could be an effective treatment for child mental health difficulties. Although the authors do not ignore that mentalization theory and some of its core processes are linked to the analytic schools such as the psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches, mentalization in practice goes well beyond explaining early development relative to attachment trauma, to the "how" of repairing damaged mentalization and to the measures used in charting milestones of recovery. By establishing that this treatment works in the context of childhood interpersonal trauma, there may be a need for clinicians to examine therapeutic characteristics that would more likely capture the mentalizing stance to promote ...

“…Estos diseños, y otros como los transversales, longitudinales, retrospectivos, de construcción y validación de instrumentos, evaluación de intervenciones, revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis (Gelo et al, 2015), han permitido comprender múltiples dimensiones de los procesos y resultados terapéuticos. Por su parte, los métodos de análisis cualitativos, cuantitativos y mixtos han permitido indagar desde múltiples perspectivas (pacientes, terapeutas, u observadores) los elementos que influyen en dichos procesos y resultados.…”

En psicoterapia, así como en otros ejercicios profesionales, hay tres elementos en juego: teoría, práctica e investigación, que se espera que evolucionen y se nutran mutuamente. Sin embargo, en el desarrollo de la psicoterapia actual, diferentes condiciones históricas y profesionales han generado importantes distanciamientos entre los estudios científicos en el área, las teorías y enfoques teóricos que dan base a la formación psicoterapéutica, y los espacios clínicos de los profesionales que ejercen dicha actividad (Von Bergen & Krause, 2016; Watkins, 1997).

“…This severing of ties regarding international and local intellectual circles greatly contributed to craft Argentinian psychologists' attitudes towards empirical research, in psychology as well as in psychoanalysis. According to multiple historical analyses (Braakmann, 2015;Cautin, 2011;Vilanova, 1990Vilanova, , 2003b, the 1940s were marked, especially in the United States, by the gradual appearance of controlled research on clinical processes and, in a broad sense, of empirical research in psychotherapy. Often backed by research teams, figures like Carl Rogers (Rogers, 1942), during the aforementioned decade, and, to a lesser extent, Hans Eysenck (Eysenck, 1952;Strupp & Howard, 1992), during the 1950s, started to reject the idea 4 Psychoanalysis found local scholarly reception in several Argentinian journals: Psicoterapia ('Psychotherapy'), for example, was initiated in 1936 by psychiatrist Gregorio Bermann and was the first Spanish-speaking journal specific to the field.…”

Un siglo de psicoterapia en Argentina: psicología clínica, psicoanálisis y desarrollos recientes

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Argentina posee una auténtica cultura psicoterapéutica, siendo el psicoanálisis su expresión más difundida y aceptada, particularmente en las universidades públicas. Sin embargo, Argentina carece de un sistema que provea formación continua y apropiada para los psicoterapeutas. Por tanto, las habilidades de los psicólogos han sido reiteradamente descritas como sesgadas y deficitarias. Adoptando un marco historiográfico socioprofesional, esta investigación presenta un relevamiento y análisis histórico de conjunto del desarrollo de los ámbitos psicoterapéuticos heterogéneos en Argentina durante el siglo XX, para explicar retrospectivamente el estado actual del campo. Primero, se describe la psicoterapia en Argentina desde 1900, cuando los psiquiatras y médicos inauguraron y dominaron el campo, hasta 1930, cuando el psicoanálisis, la reflexología y el existencialismo coexistían como perspectivas clínicas. Se analiza el periodo 1940-1970, caracterizado por la institucionalización del psicoanálisis. Se enfatiza la llegada de psicoanalistas a las recientemente creadas carreras de psicología, las disputas profesionales gatilladas y la consecuente hegemonización de dicha teoría y terapéutica. Se describe el período posterior a 1970, caracterizado por desarrollos institucionales y profesionales. Se detalla el desarrollo de aproximaciones psicoclínicas sistémicas, cognitivas e integrativas. Finalmente, se discuten desafíos contemporáneos de la psicoterapia en Argentina, atendiendo la necesidad de un debate profundo basado en evidencia histórica y empírica.
