Kunst, Jennifer, and Siang-Yang Tan. "Psychotherapy as “Work in the Spirit”: Thinking Theologically about Psychotherapy." Journal of Psychology and Theology 24, no. 4 (December 1996): 284–91. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/009164719602400402.
This article is an exploration of the meaning, value, and function of psychotherapy within a theology of work. Using Volf's (1991) three-fold model of “work in the Spirit,” psychotherapy is seen as cooperation with God, as eschatological work, and as pneumatological or Spirit-centered work. Psychotherapy's most basic goal is to repair the broken personality. The work of psychotherapy is cooperation with God in God's own work of preserving and transforming the original, now-fallen creation. The fruit of such work—the healed and restored human person—will be the raw material from which God will build the new creation. Thus, the work of psychotherapy is God's work in both its intrinsic and instrumental value, as it honors the original creation and makes way for the new. Finally, psychotherapy is seen as God's work in that it is empowered by the Holy Spirit, who gifts, calls, and enables psychotherapists to participate in God's own preserving and transforming work in the world.

Complex and changing social conditions engender the need to find a language to describe the phenomena and to elucidate their mechanisms. One possibility is the language of psychotherapy, which in itself is complex because it combines the various currents which have emerged in psychotherapy’s more than one hundred years of history. The author’s aim is to analyze the relations between culture, social reality (including Poland’s), and psychotherapy. On the one hand, she attempts to view psychotherapy as a cultural discourse, and on the other, to understand culture and social phenomena from the perspective of a psychotherapy office.

"Application of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis methodology in psychotherapy impact research: Experience of psychotherapy of a person with multiple sclerosis." QMiP Bulletin 1, no. 31 (2021): 26–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.53841/bpsqmip.2021.1.31.26.
Psychotherapy’s impact and effectiveness have been explored through the use of quantitative research methods such as standardised inventories and scales measuring mainly behavioural and overt aspects of the psychotherapeutic encounter and symptom reduction. Nonetheless, change in psychotherapy is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon, requiring open-ended investigation to reveal the beneficial factors that are part of the process. This paper will demonstrate how Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) can be applied in studying the psychotherapy process’s favourable aspects from the client’s perspective. We argue that IPA’s epistemological underpinnings and methods for collecting and analysing data can contribute to the study of psychotherapy’s impact. A case of a woman confronting the challenges of multiple sclerosis and illness symptomatology by undergoing psychodynamic psychotherapy is presented and analysed drawing on IPA guidelines.

The value and efficacy of psychotherapy is currently being debated both within (Gabbard et al, 1997) and outside the profession. One commentator has spoken of psychotherapy's populist synonym ‘counselling’, as the ‘valium of this era”, where counselling “does not cause the same clouding of consciousness as drugs, but its side-effects are twice as bad” (Dalrymple, 1996).

Paying careful attention to the multiple meanings the word ‘institution’ has in French, this article traces the development of institutional psychotherapy’s clinical practice. Through a close reading of Jean Oury’s seminars and clinical writing alongside other key members of the GTPSI (Groupe de travail de psychothérapie et de sociothérapie institutionnelles or Working Group on Institutional Psychotherapy and Socio- therapy), this article argues that institutional psychotherapy’s specificity is in the way in which the clinical and the political are able to connect their praxis.

This article will briefly explore some of the ways in which the past has been used as a means to talk about psychotherapy as a practice and as a profession, its impact on individuals and society, and the ethical debates at stake. It will show how, despite the multiple and competing claims about psychotherapy’s history and its meanings, historians themselves have, to a large degree, not attended to the intellectual and cultural development of many therapeutic approaches. This absence has the potential consequence of implying that therapies have emerged as value-free techniques, outside of a social, economic and political context. The relative neglect of psychotherapy, by contrast with the attention historians have paid to other professions, particularly psychiatry, has also underplayed its societal impact. This article will foreground some of the instances where psychotherapy has become an object of emerging historical interest, including the new research that forms the substance of this special issue of History of the Human Sciences.

This study examines the supervised casework of seventeen therapists, using Interpersonal Psychotherapy as a treatment for Major Depression for the first time. Adherence and competence were measured using procedures developed with reference to the treatment manual (Klerman & Weissman et al 1984). The capacity of the more diverse population of therapists now undertaking IPT training to meet adherence and competence standards was explored, as was the capacity of current supervisors to employ rating forms reliably. This study demonstrated that practising therapists, with a range of experience and theoretical influences, were reliably found to practice the procedures outlined in the Interpersonal Psychotherapy manual, with a high level of competence. Adherence levels were good in the focus area sessions, but less satisfactory during the initial and final phases of treatment. Less experienced therapists were found to be as capable of meeting training requirements as more experienced therapists, and a significant level of symptomatic relief was reported by the participating patients. Initial symptom severity did not have a detrimental effect on treatment outcome, with patients rated as severely depressed on the BDI-ii at baseline achieving recovery or clinically significant reduction in symptoms as often as patients with a moderate depression. Therapists with a psychology based training achieved a higher standard of competence than therapists trained in a psychiatry model or medicine or nursing, but the two groups could not be distinguished in terms of clinical outcome for patients. Problems in conducting therapy, reflecting potential ruptures in the therapeutic alliance were significantly related to clinical outcome and early competence.

Thesis (MSc (Clinical Psychology) ) -- University of Limpopo, 2012. The Clinical Psychology training programme at the University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus) is contextualized within the theoretical paradigm of the General Systems Theory. The main focus during the first block of training is on equipping trainees with a person-centered stance and the necessary skills that go with it such as empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence and also to develop a frame of reference in the trainees which is suitable to form a basis as a therapist. Thus training within this context is experiential.
The aim of this study was to explore the subjective emotional experiences of the Msc1-Clinical Psychology trainees at the University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus) during their first block of training. The research was conducted through qualitative interviews with the trainees shortly after being exposed to the first block of training. The sample size consisted of five trainees of the 2011 Masters in Clinical Psychology training programme at Medunsa Campus. Interviews were analysed in accordance with qualitative methodology through thematic analysis. Finally, an attempt was made to discuss and integrate the research findings into which the strengths and limitations of the study and future recommendations were made.
Results from this study indicated that trainees during their first block of training experienced different challenges which are not only emotional but mental as well as academic in nature. Moreover, it became evident that trainees further experienced challenges in their social contexts such as families and relationships outside the training context.

The historical context of catharsis in psychotherapy is discussed, with particular reference to drama and ritual. The 'cathartic technique' of Freud and Breuer is then presented as part of the continuing development of approaches that advocate feeling-expression as a way of promoting personal change. The contemporary approaches considered include Reichian therapy, bioenergetics, primal therapy, and reevaluation counselling. Heron's theory of catharsis in human development is emphasized, and is central to the two experiential research inquiries presented later. The evidence for the efficacy of catharsis is reviewed from the perspective of the various 'schools' of emotionally-expressive therapy, and reference to the psychosomatic and bereavement literature is also made. Two research inquiries are presented which investigate the effects of catharsis on human functioning. A new paradigm experiential approach was adopted in which co-researchers engaged in a collaborative inquiry. 'Inside’ measures of subjective experiencing, contingent upon emotional catharsis, were gathered through self-report, as well as 'outside' measures of blood pressure, pulse rate, and personality functioning. Results suggest that physiologic tension decreases following somatic emotional catharsis, but that longer term changes in psycho-somatic functioning require the development of insight into the genesis of the 'symptom', as well as complementary therapeutic strategems. It is further suggested that the development of insight is contingent upon historical somatic catharsis. The results also show that where cognitive catharsis occurs without affective release, an increase in psycho-physiologic tension is effected, as shown in both the physiological measures and subjective experiencing. Finally, the implications of catharsis for therapeutic practice are discussed.

McKay, J. M. "Attachment and psychotherapy." Thesis, City University London, 2010. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/8727/.
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between therapy outcome, the therapeutic alliance and both patient and therapist attachment styles. 14 therapists and 27 patients participated. 78.57% (n = 11) therapists and 29.63% (n = 8) patients were classified as securely attached by self-report measures. It was predicted that more patients of secure therapists would show clinically significant improvement as determined by CORE-OM scores. However, 21.05% of patients with a secure attachment style therapist compared to 40% of patients with a dismissing attachment style therapist showed clinically significant improvement. Short-term therapies of once-weekly intensity enabled dismissing style patients to restore their defences, reduce distress and show clinically significant change in terms of reduction of symptomatology. There did not appear to be an association between attachment style of either therapist or patient and overall ratings of the alliance in this study. However, changes in both therapist and client ratings of the ARM subscales for Confidence and Openness between Time 1 and Time 2 suggested that therapist and client were beginning to perceive the alliance more similarly as therapy progressed. Mediation of the relationship between attachment style and therapeutic outcome by the therapeutic alliance was not found to be significant. A significant finding in this study was that patient participants were more likely to have only brothers and no sisters (51.9%, n = 14), X2 = 13.15, df = 3, p = 0.004.

Психотерапия огромна, и одному исследователю, преподавателю или практику в нашей области не удается объять всю психотерапию. В наших дискуссиях на разных уровнях, просто в кругу коллег или при обсуждении проектов законодательных актов для целой страны мы часто впадаем в одно фундаментальное заблуждение, говорим о психотерапии в целом. Именно это не позволяет прийти к желаемому конкретному результату. Если бы коллеги психиатры говорили о клинической психотерапии, ещё лучше — о психиатрической психотерапии, ведь коллеги психологи уже говорят о психологической психотерапии, — все было бы значительно понятнее.

В течение последних двух с половиной десятилетий было много поводов, чтобы сделать доклад на эту тему. Для меня лично поводы начались значительно раньше, ведь я поступил в медицинский вуз, чтобы стать психоневрологом. Заканчивая вуз, посещая и психиатрический студенческий кружок, и неврологический, а также заседание Научного общества невропатологов и психиатров, изучая «Журнал неврологии и психиатрии имени С.С. Корсакова», я думал, что выбрать для занятия психотерапией неврологию или психиатрию. Мне повезло я стал работать подростковым психоневрологом, правда совсем недолго, специальность упразднили. А я до сих пор уверен, что эта введенная В.М.Бехтеревым специальность была и остается лучшей в области ментального здоровья и психологического благополучия.

Существует ряд проблем, связанных с психотерапией лидеров как здоровых людей: в традиционной трактовке психотерапии для лидеров не очевидна её необходимость, а проведение терапии без учёта лидерского контекста несёт риск значимых негативных последствий.

Поиск методологического обоснования эмпирически выявленного комплекса эффективных позитивно-ориентированных организационно-технических приемов клинической системной арт-психотерапии пограничных психических расстройств обнаружил его большое смысловое созвучие с концепцией психотерапии здоровых. Рассматриваемый в концептуальном русле саногенетического подхода данный комплекс арт-терапевтических техник и вербальных интервенций хорошо соотносится с общей здравоцентристской направленностью психотерапии здоровых, а также ее конкретными принципами, миссией и идеологией. В частности, это касается холистического подхода к личности пациента, доминирующей ориентации на его ресурсы, как психологической основы состояния благополучия, а также на достижения им результата в виде устойчивой способности самостоятельно преодолевать жизненные кризисы. Особую значимость для позитивной арт-психотерапии имеет общая идеология воинствующего позитивиста, наглядным практическим воплощением которой является прирост уровня положительных эмоций в ходе конкретного сеанса («позитивная эмоциональная дельта»). Поиск различных граней конструктивного созвучия обозначенных психотерапевтических подходов представляется оправданным и перспективным, поскольку может способствовать их содержательному взаимообогащению, в частности, обеспечивая позитивную арт-психотерапию дополнительным методологическим обоснованием, а психотерапию здоровых – новыми возможностями клинического применения.

Психотерапия развивается с глубокой древности. Остановимся на так называемой научной психотерапии. Некоторые исследователи исчисляют историю научной психотерапии от пионерских работ З. Фрейда. А Эрнест Л. Росси (1985) приводит пять стадий развития психотерапии: спиритический, или шаманский; ранний гипноз; Зигмунд Фрейд (1856–1939); Карл Юнг (1875–1961); Милтон Эриксон (1901–1980). Зигмунд Фрейд – гений анализа; Карл Юнг – гений синтеза; Милтон Эриксон – гений утилизации. С нашей точки зрения, точка отсчёта истории западной психотерапии теряется в прошлых веках. История современной психотерапии может отсчитываться от основателей гипноза: Джеймса Брейда (1795–1860), шотландского врача, и Антона Месмера (1734–1815), врача из Австрии.

В статье рассматривается динамика культурного и профессионального развития психотерапии как социального явления. Мы представляем анализ эволюции психотерапии, используя волну как метафору. Описываем продолжающийся кризис психотерапии. Дальнейшее развитие психотерапии оправдано в рамках метапсихологии как части метамодернизма. The paper discuss the dynamics of cultural and professional development of psychotherapy as a social phenomenon. We present the analysis of psychotherapy evolution using the wave as a metaphor. We describe the ongoing crisis of psychotherapy. Further development of psychotherapy is justified within the framework of metapsychology as a part of metamodernism.
