Abstract
This article aims to develop a model of the therapeutic alliance for psychotherapy guided by the concepts of Loob, Pakikibahagi ng Loob, and the framework offered by the Shared Reality Model. The conceptualization is anchored on data from a qualitative survey with 15 Filipino client-therapist dyads living in the Philippines. In the proposed model, client-therapist dynamics are viewed under two levels of analyses: (a) intrapersonal level (inner world or katangiang panloob) – that includes clients’ and therapists’ personality, values, and beliefs; (b) interpersonal level (relational world or ugnayang panloob) – that encapsulates the client-therapist relationship known as the therapeutic alliance. The model hypothesizes that a shared reality (pakikibahagi) in the form of shared inner world (pakikibahagi ng katangiang panloob) and shared relational world (pakikibahagi ng ugnayang panloob) contribute to psychological well-being. Implications for clinical practice, Sikolohiyang Pilipino theorizing, and directions for further research are explored in this paper.
本文旨在以 "Loob"、"Pakikibahagi ng Loob "等概念以及 "共享现实模式 "提供的框架为指导,为心理治疗建立一个治疗联盟模式。这一概念的形成基于对 15 个居住在菲律宾的客户-治疗师二人组的定性调查数据。在所提出的模型中,客户与治疗师之间的动态关系可从两个层面进行分析:(a)个人内部层面(内心世界或 katangiang panloob)--包括客户和治疗师的个性、价值观和信念;(b)人际层面(关系世界或 ugnayang panloob)--包含客户与治疗师之间的关系,即治疗联盟。该模型假设,以共享内心世界(pakikibahagi ng katatangiang panloob)和共享关系世界(pakikibahagi ng ugnayang panloob)为形式的共享现实(pakikibahagi)有助于心理健康。本文探讨了对临床实践、菲律宾语理论的影响以及进一步研究的方向。
