Abstract

Although there are theorized connections between client transference and their attachment to their therapists (Bowlby, 1969/1982), limited empirical research exists examining their association over the course of psychotherapy. We thus examined the association between positive and negative transference and client attachment to therapist across the course of open-ended psychodynamic psychotherapy for 49 cases with doctoral student therapists and adult community clients who had at least 32 sessions. Using a Bayesian multilevel structural equation model framework, results indicated that client secure attachment increased and avoidant-fearful attachment decreased across the course of psychotherapy. For clients with higher preoccupied-merger attachment at the beginning of therapy, therapists perceived more fluctuation in negative transference over time than for clients with other attachment styles. Implications for research, practice, and therapist training are offered. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

心理动力学心理治疗中的移情和当事人对治疗师的依恋。
虽然理论上客户的移情与他们对治疗师的依恋之间存在联系(鲍尔比,1969/1982),但对它们在心理治疗过程中的联系进行的实证研究却很有限。因此,我们研究了在开放式心理动力学心理治疗过程中,49 个由博士生治疗师和至少接受过 32 次治疗的成年社区求助者组成的案例中,积极和消极移情与求助者对治疗师依恋之间的关系。使用贝叶斯多层次结构方程模型框架得出的结果表明,在整个心理治疗过程中,求助者的安全依恋增加,而回避恐惧依恋减少。与其他依恋风格的客户相比,对于在治疗开始时具有较高的先入为主-合并依恋的客户,治疗师认为随着时间的推移,他们的消极移情波动更大。本研究对研究、实践和治疗师培训具有重要意义。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, 版权所有)。
