“…It remains unclear to which extent this may have influenced the results regarding the speed of change. Some evidence suggests that more experienced therapists achieve quicker results than their less experienced colleagues (e.g., Aveline, ; Okiishi, Lambert, Nielsen, & Ogles, ). Alternatively, there are also studies that found no evidence for differential dose–response curves for professionals and therapists in training (e.g., Beutler et al ., ; Hansen & Lambert, ).…”

Results from an earlier clinical trial comparing narrative therapy with cognitive-behavioural therapy (Lopes et al., 2013) suggested that narrative therapy is efficacious for depression. However, there were significant differences in symptom reduction on the Beck Depression Inventory-II, favouring cognitive-behavioural therapy, if dropouts were included in the analysis, suggesting that time to recovery or improvement would differ in both treatments. Contrarily, results showed that treatment assignment was not a predictor for differential effect. Using a survival analytic approach, it was found that four sessions were necessary for 50% improvement and 16 sessions for 50% recovery. Additionally, depressive symptoms changes occurred significantly faster than interpersonal changes, again regardless of treatment assignment. These results support previous findings of the dose-response literature and of the phase model of change, with the advantage of being specific to psychotherapy with depressive clients.

“…It is not easy for therapists to find their place in the whirlpool of suffering, implicit fears and conflicting interests. Of course the therapist is emotionally affected by this encounter that arouses all kinds of troubling feelings: fear, sadness, helplessness, lust, anxiety and so on (Aveline, 2005). Often family therapeutic practice for the therapist is first and foremost a question of how to (emotionally) survive the session (Wilson, 2007).…”

The therapist's experiencing in family therapy practice

The question posed in this article is how the therapist should deal with strong emotions she might experience in the session. This question is especially important if it concerns emotions that –at least on the surface‐ cannot be considered to contribute to a therapeutic alliance. We offer some reflections as preliminary steps towards answering this question and propose that therapists be sensitive to their own experiencing during the session, be careful to monitor the implicit invitations to join the family members in potentially destructive relational scenarios, reflect on the possible negative and perpetuating effects of her interactions with the family, and explore opportunities to proceed with the session in new and more constructive ways. In our approach the therapist's experiencing is seen as a tool that may be used to further the therapeutic process. This is consonant with the view of family therapists exploring the importance for the therapist of holding open a space of reflection, while it also fits with a dialogical approach to family therapy, in which the therapist's task may be described as listening to the stories the clients tell, and making room for other stories that have not been told before. Two case discussions illustrate our ideas.

“…Although the lack of consideration of beneficial and malign characteristics (Aveline, 2005 , p. 155) has been widely criticized (Ackerman & Hilsenroth, 2001 ; Aveline, 2005 ; Bergin, 1997 ), dispositions find little consideration in current models of therapeutic competence. An exception is the aspect interpersonal behavior of the therapist that is considered in the Social Competencies in Interpersonal Process (SCIP) Model by Mallinckrodt ( 2000 ).…”

A proposed conceptualization of therapeutic competence: the three level model

A model of therapeutic competence that equally satisfies the requirements of practice and research is still lacking. The existing models are not widely accepted, at least partially because the postulated competences can often not be operationalized in a satisfactory manner. Yet, in order to be measurable, therapeutic competences need to be operationalized. We present the Three Level Model of Therapeutic Competence as a working model for studying therapeutic competence. The model proposes that therapeutic competence develops based on rather stable individual Dispositions, which promote the acquisition of therapeutic competences. We further distinguish between Basic Competences, which are mostly independent of the theoretical orientation of the therapeutic approach, and Specific Competences, which are defined based on the theoretical underpinnings of a therapeutic orientation (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). We describe this model and outline how it can be used to operationalize and assess therapeutic competence.
