“…The second author was an experienced empirical researcher having conducted over 200 similar‐method interviews globally. During the interviews, the second author used climate‐setting and positive regard to build trust with the participants and employed reflective listening (Rogers in Kirschenbaum & Land Henderson, 1989) to accurately replicate subjective descriptions.…”

This global qualitative study adopted a cross‐generational approach considering key factors contributing to relationship longevity. Relatively few studies consider factors leading to relationship longevity as articulated by couples themselves, and there is a paucity of research considering young couples' questions regarding relationship longevity. This study has two sample groups. In sample one (n = 137) we asked individuals in relationship of 3–15 years questions they would ask couples in marriages of 40+ years. We then asked our second sample of coupled individuals married 40+ years (n = 180) these questions. The primary question from the younger couples to couples in long‐term marriages regarded their “secret” to relationship longevity. This study focuses on this one question and coupled individuals' self‐articulation of their “secrets” to relationship longevity. The top seven were (1) commitment, (2) altruism, (3) shared values, (4) good communication, (5) compromise: give and take, (6) love, and (7) never give up. The clinical implications for couple therapists are discussed.

“…That is to say, being in this state of congruence means that we lead a life that is fulfilling, if not perfect, just because we believe enough in ourselves and endeavour to live according to our own values. Indeed, as evident in Rogers' examples of his own therapeutic work (Kirschenbaum & Henderson, 1990), when the individual reaches this state of congruence, their self-image is sufficiently positive, grounded, resilient, and accepting of all drawbacks of the self, so that even the most adverse external experiences are not perceived as threatening to the self-image, and thus they do not cause excessive anxiety or other symptoms. This journey of the person towards a more grounded and integrated self-image is also portrayed in Rogers ' (1951) fundamental concept of the "self-actualising tendency" which is the "one basic tendency of the individual" (Proposition IV; p. 487).…”

Exploring the Future Social Identity of a PhD Student Dealing With Anxiety: A Psychotherapy Client Study

This psychotherapy case study examines the brief therapeutic journey of a young woman presenting with academic anxiety and the flexible person-centred approach adopted by her therapist, the author. Application during therapy sessions of concepts from humanistic therapy and beyond, such as configurations of self and imagining future possible selves, enabled the client to unravel her anxiety and eventually discover the underlying tension existing between her internal versus external locus of self-evaluation and self-worth, leading her to contemplate her overall social identity and future life choices. The study aimed to stimulate in the client open reflection about how an internal dialogue between parts of the self may reveal underlying internal tensions and how envisaging possible future selves can help identify how self-criticism may be socially and culturally conditioned. This study, being a single-client study, was tailored for the specific therapeutic goals and personality of the client, and thus the generalisability of this therapeutic approach is limited. However, the study aims to shed light on how we may better support through psychotherapy and counselling students at elite universities with a working-class background, who commonly struggle to “fit in” to this environment and make sense of their changing present and future social identity.

“…According to Carl Rogers, therapeutic presence is a powerful, intuitive and subtle phenomenon that involves caring and acceptant listening and is connected to altered states of consciousness and spirituality, and “strange and impulsive” but somehow “right” choices in therapy (Baldwin, 2000; Kirschenbaum & Henderson, 1990; Rogers, 1980). Bugental described presence as the one essential ingredient in therapy (Hycner, 1993).…”

A grounded theory of improvisation in therapy: Lessons from decoloniality

Grounded theory (GT) is a popular research methodology that has been used in various fields and disciplines. Its researchers face the paradox of their method being grounded in both data and theory, potentially resulting in researcher ambivalence towards existing knowledge and constructing “thin” or “descriptive” theory as a result. In this reflective paper, the researcher uses a case example of theorising the category “improvisation,” to explore the deliberate decolonial use of literature in GT. They share detailed examples of inductive coding, analytic memoing and abduction of the category. They describe a paradigm‐changing moment of realisation when they discovered their own colonial thinking towards this category and the subsequent perspective change that occurred when they attempted to “de‐link” from their colonial thinking and apply a decolonialised lens to their category. The work of Black and Indigenous authors enabled the researcher to theorise “improvisation” as a valid, transdisciplinary practice that lies at the heart of both therapy and art making. The researcher concludes that researchers intending to decolonialise their knowledge production should take a critical‐reflexive stance towards existing theory, deliberately seeking out alternate, decolonial ways of knowing, in order to construct more vital, convivial and emancipatory theories. They also offer a decolonial reimagining of therapy as a grounded, responsive, intentional and social improvisational practice, which is co‐created between client and therapist.
