“…Grounded theory analysis (GTA; Glaser & Strauss, ; Glaser, ; Strauss & Corbin, ; see also Dourdouma & Moertl, ) is a flexible approach that allows the researcher to generate a theory of the phenomenon under investigation through the exploratory examination of the informants. GTA is ‘an inductive interpretive process used to explore subjective experiences for the purposes of theory generation’ (Pascual‐Leone, Rodriguez‐Rubio, & Metler, , p. 582).…”

“…These meaning units were organised into descriptive categories, which, according to the theory, are called codes . This is the process of open coding and is considered the heart of the method (Dourdouma & Moertl, ). The codes are grounded in the data and are formed by the participants' words.…”

“…The data were analysed by A.D. based on an adaptation of the grounded theory method (Dourdouma & Moertl, ; see subsection below for credibility checks). After the first three interviews (Anna, Souzan and Peter) were transcribed, the process of analysing began by dividing the texts into meaning units.…”

“…The codes are grounded in the data and are formed by the participants' words. Next, using the method of constant comparison (Dourdouma & Moertl, ; Glaser & Strauss, ), the codes were grouped based on commonalities, producing second‐level codes . The second‐level codes were still low in abstraction but became more interpretive.…”

This study addresses the process of therapeutic change in individuals who received systemic therapy. This study is an exploratory qualitative study based on the client's perceptions and therapeutic experiences. The sample included 10 clients who had completed their therapy with systemic therapists. The method used for the collection of the data was semi‐structured interviews (Change Interview; Elliott, Slatick, & Urman, 2001). The interviews were analysed using grounded theory analysis. The results showed that both specific and common factors in therapy function in a co‐occurring mode, hence suggesting a synergy effect between common factors and specific techniques or therapist factors in psychotherapy. The core category ‘experience of therapeutic change, within the secure frame of therapy, is a process of deconstructing and reconstructing the house you live in: Yourself’ emerged based on self‐exploration and self‐discovery and is then discussed in a theoretical constructivist framework. Implications for research on the issue of the process of therapeutic change are discussed.

Corrective Experiences of Psychotherapists in Training

et al. 2016

Although the concept of corrective experiences (CEs) is usually linked to the process of change in psychotherapy patients, we investigated them in the professional development of therapists-in-training. Inasmuch as psychotherapy is a relational process, it is important to look closely at how therapists reach the position of a competent partner in corrective experiencing. In this study, we interviewed 10 therapists-in-training undergoing their own training therapy. Responses to these semistructured interviews were analyzed using a computer-assisted grounded theory method. The 499 first-level categories were grouped into 5 main themes: therapist characteristics, therapist technical interventions, therapist relational interventions, relationship experience, and outcome experience. Two core categories representing corrective experiencing were (a) unexpected unconditional support from and trust in their own therapist and (b) unexpected confrontation and limitation with their therapist as well as awareness of self-other boundaries. Results are discussed in the broader context of the CE literature, relational theory, and relational practice.

ObjectiveThe increasing prevalence of and inequities in childhood obesity demand improved access to effective treatment. The SmartMoves curriculum used in Bright Bodies, a proven‐effective, intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment (IHBLT), was disseminated to ≥30 US sites from 2003 to 2018. We aimed to identify barriers to and facilitators of IHBLT implementation/sustainment.MethodsWe surveyed and interviewed key informants about experiences acquiring/implementing SmartMoves. In parallel, we analyzed and then integrated survey findings and themes from interviews using the constant comparative method.ResultsParticipants from 16 sites (53%) completed surveys, and 12 participants at 10 sites completed interviews. The 11 sites (63%) that implemented SmartMoves varied in both use of training opportunities/materials and fidelity to program components. In interviews, demand for obesity programming, organizational priorities, and partnerships facilitated implementation. Seven sites discontinued SmartMoves prior to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Funding insecurity and insufficient staffing emerged as dominant barriers to implementation/sustainment discussed by all interviewees, and some also noted participants' competing demands and the program's fit with population as challenges.ConclusionsSystem‐ and organizational‐level barriers impeded sustainment of an evidence‐based IHBLT program. Adequate funding could enable sufficient staffing and training to promote fidelity to the intervention's core functions and adaptation to fit local populations/context.
