After establishing NVC’s model for fostering compassionate communication and connection between people, we present NVC’s interpersonal processes and the theoretical premises for its use in emotion-focused therapy. We elaborate how an emotion-focused therapist could introduce NVC as a facilitating tool for helping clients express their needs in a manner that likely engenders compassion. NVC also assists clients in hearing others with empathy outside the therapy session, without the emotion regulation support from the therapist. The timing for the beneficial use is described for both the individual and couples therapy process.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"19 1","pages":"23 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79736613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A questionnaire and coding agenda were developed based on Carl Rogers’ theory of personality to study men’s attitudes toward seeking PPH. A content analysis of 12 semi-structured interviews with Russian men found that the basic manifestations of psychological maturity in men’s attitudes toward seeking PPH were awareness of attitude, openness to experience, and reliance on one’s experience, and that the basic manifestations of psychological immaturity in men’s attitudes toward seeking PPH were the absence of an awareness of attitude, being closed to experience, and reliance on other’s experience. Men’s attitudes toward seeking PPH may differ because of the tendency toward self-actualization, which actualizes only a portion of symbolized experience in the self-concept. The results identified three methods that men use to deal with psychological difficulties based on accurate symbolization, inaccurate symbolization, and the absence of symbolization.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"6 1","pages":"367 - 384"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76367012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fertility treatment (In Vitro Fertilization) is often seen as a solution. The aim of this study was to explore what women who undergo fertility treatment in Greece need from medical and health-care personnel and whether these can be mapped onto Rogers’ Person-Centered theory of therapy and values. Seven women who have undertaken IVF in Greece were interviewed. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyze the transcripts. Three super-ordinate themes emerged, containing sub-ordinate themes: (i) Experiencing safety in relationships with the IVF team, (ii) Need for agency: acknowledging women as trusted equal partners, (iii) The need for personalized IVF care. In the context of the Greek fertility care culture, women’s needs were mapped onto Rogers’ person-centered values. It is suggested that a person-centered approach to treatment and communication can meet women’s needs during IVF procedures. The study concludes by outlining the need for person-centered training of IVF health-care professionals involved in pre-conception and birth care; this would support patient-centeredness in fertility and birth care, namely care respectful and responsive to patient values and needs. Quality, respect-based fertility and pregnancy care is important to promote future generations’ well-being.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"3 1","pages":"108 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80799188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, research recommendations have been made for linguistic analyses of therapeutic processes. The interrelatedness of processes has often been overlooked when these recommendations have been progressed. Research so far has also tended to favor therapist discourse instead of focusing on the co-construction of processes. The publication of protocols enables researchers and therapists to access information about emerging research. Protocol publication can reduce dissemination bias and promotes credibility and trustworthiness of qualitative methodologies. The proposed development and application of a linguistic framework for analyzing empathic and empowering communications by therapist-client dyads in person-centered therapy is described in this protocol. The present status of the study is given, including why and how hybrid linguistic features identified in discourse analysis, pragmatics, and conversation analytic approaches are included. Information about the therapeutic transcripts used as data for framework development is also given for illustrative purposes. The anticipated theoretical and methodological contributions of this research are summarized. Suggested applications of the research outcomes for practice are also described, including their usefulness for trainee person-centered therapists, or for person-centered therapists or researchers who are interested in linguistic methodologies.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"23 1","pages":"77 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89091828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I will however argue that the ontology underlying all schools of psychotherapy is universal and invariant; and that it is intertwined with the ontic (contingent and changeable) mode of psychotherapy. Regarding the latter, I suggest ways in which therapists may respond to, and co-experience, the client’s personal experience of his or her particular racial/ethnic cultural milieu. I will conclude by discussing the ontologically relational stance that is inherent in both person-centered and pluralistic practice.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"25 1","pages":"127 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91178398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present aim was to develop a bibliometric study of EFT articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection. Books and chapters were not included in this research. The bibliometric analysis was performed using Hiscite and VosViewer. Results showed 273 publications on EFT in WoS, the first being in 1994. The most relevant areas were depression and anxiety. The most productive author is Greenberg (n = 56; GCS = 2050). The 51.28% of publications corresponds to the last five years (2016–2020), observing a substantial increase in publications comparing with previous years. It is concluded that EFT is a psychotherapeutic orientation in recent scientific growth, with potential interest for further development in next years. The absence of results in WoS prior to 1994 is a limitation, given the origins of EFT in the 1970s. Extension of this study is recommended, including: publications about emotionally focused therapy, publications from other databases different from WoS, together with books and chapters. The importance of these results is discussed to allow other researchers and professionals to know deeply about the scientific production in EFT and its impact.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"59 1","pages":"269 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89489570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
