Abstract

An effective psychotherapy process includes multiple elements, one of which is the client’s motivation. While psychotherapy theories propose models to increase the functionality and well-being of clients, little is said about how to motivate clients along this process. Although client motivation is relevant for all major therapeutic approaches, there are not many investigations focusing mainly on this motivation, and especially exploring it in connection with the stages of the therapeutic process. Therefore, there is a need to understand the factors that motivate the clients in each stage of the psychotherapy and psychological counseling process. Many psychotherapy theories include these factors in their models, though they do not explicitly state them. This paper unravels these factors by presenting and integrating tools and strategies from multiple psychotherapy perspectives to increase and maintain client motivation during the therapeutic process. Using these tools and strategies is important, given that many clients skip or quit their psychotherapy sessions, which end up hindering or completely blocking the possibility to achieve the positive outcomes intended with the therapeutic process. The contribution of the present paper is synthesizing these tools and strategies within a single, staged therapeutic process model, which can be followed by therapists to increase therapy adherence and effectiveness.

在心理治疗过程中提高客户积极性的综合模式
有效的心理治疗过程包括多个要素,其中之一就是客户的动机。虽然心理治疗理论提出了提高客户功能和幸福感的模式,但对于如何在这一过程中激发客户的动机却鲜有提及。虽然求助者的动机与所有主要的治疗方法都息息相关,但以这种动机为主要研究对象,尤其是将其与治疗过程的各个阶段联系起来进行探讨的研究并不多。因此,有必要了解在心理治疗和心理咨询过程的每个阶段中激发求助者动机的因素。许多心理治疗理论虽然没有明确指出这些因素,但都将其纳入了自己的模型中。本文通过介绍和整合来自多种心理疗法视角的工具和策略来揭示这些因素,从而在治疗过程中提高和保持客户的积极性。使用这些工具和策略非常重要,因为许多求助者会跳过或放弃心理治疗疗程,这最终会阻碍或完全阻碍治疗过程取得预期的积极成果。本文的贡献在于将这些工具和策略综合在一个单一的、分阶段的治疗过程模型中,治疗师可以按照这个模型来提高治疗的依从性和有效性。
