Abstract

This article defines and illustrates therapist questions in individual psychotherapy and then reviews the naturalistic, empirical research on their effectiveness. The research on immediate impacts of questions in psychotherapy has been mixed. The available research indicates that positive impacts, particularly of open questions, include increased client emotional expressiveness and affective exploration. However, negative impacts have also been found, suggesting that questions may be related to negative client perspectives of the therapist's empathy and helpfulness and session smoothness. The article focuses on definitions and clinical examples as well as research findings and limitations. The article concludes with training implications and therapeutic practice recommendations based on the empirical research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

在心理治疗中使用问题:即时结果研究综述。
本文对个体心理治疗中的治疗师提问进行了定义和说明,然后回顾了有关其有效性的自然实证研究。关于心理治疗中提问的直接影响的研究结果不一。现有的研究表明,积极的影响,尤其是开放式提问的积极影响,包括提高客户的情感表达能力和情感探索能力。然而,也有研究发现了负面影响,这表明提问可能与客户对治疗师的共情和帮助以及治疗过程的顺利程度的负面看法有关。文章重点讨论了定义、临床实例、研究结果和局限性。文章最后根据实证研究提出了培训意义和治疗实践建议。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
