Abstract

The discussion of the influence of culture in psychotherapy is expanding to honor and incorporate the ways identities intersect within complex social systems. Some clients present for therapy with two or more identities that are in conflict, whereby the values or needs associated with different parts of the self are at odds. The resulting tension can be a significant driver of distress. This study sought to investigate therapist variability in facilitating change with clients depending on the interaction of their sexual orientation and the role of religion in their life (RR). We analyzed the depression scores of clients (n = 1,792) who received care at a university counseling center. After controlling for clients' pretherapy depression scores, the association between their sexual orientation and their posttherapy depression varied across therapists; however, the association between their RR and posttherapy depression did not. We also found that the association between the interaction of clients' sexual orientation and RR, and posttherapy depression varied across therapists. Therefore, some therapists had clients who experienced more or less change in their depression and that variability was predicted by the identity combinations clients endorsed.

竞争部分的总和:治疗师有效性中的宗教和性别认同差异。
关于心理治疗中文化影响的讨论正在扩大,以尊重和纳入复杂社会系统中身份交叉的方式。一些来访者带着两种或两种以上冲突的身份来接受治疗,与自我不同部分相关的价值观或需求是不一致的。由此产生的紧张感可能是痛苦的重要驱动因素。本研究旨在调查治疗师在促进客户改变方面的可变性,这取决于他们的性取向和宗教在他们生活中的作用(RR)。我们分析了在大学心理咨询中心接受治疗的患者(n = 1792)的抑郁评分。在控制来访者治疗前抑郁得分后,不同治疗师的性取向与治疗后抑郁之间的关系有所不同;然而,他们的RR和治疗后抑郁之间没有联系。我们还发现,来访者的性取向和RR的相互作用与治疗后抑郁之间的关系因治疗师而异。因此,一些治疗师的客户经历了或多或少的抑郁变化,这种变化是通过客户认可的身份组合来预测的。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。
