“Revealing Therapy's Traces” After Termination: A Qualitative Change and Follow-Up Study
Background
In psychotherapy research, clients' therapeutic change has been mainly addressed through quantitative studies centered on symptom reduction, leaving aside their perceptions about how this process occurs. However, clients' perspectives are crucial to clarify how therapy works and how change takes place.
Objective
This study aimed to understand clients' change experiences after receiving brief, focusing-oriented psychotherapy at termination and at follow-up.
Method
A qualitative approach was implemented using a phenomenological paradigm and grounded theory analysis. Participants were eight women between 18 and 44 years of age who had engaged in therapy for up to eight sessions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted after termination and at follow-ups between 8 and 12 months later.
Results
Results showed a central phenomenon of changes developing over time named “Revealing therapy's traces after termination”, involving a sequence of changes in different areas, such as the self, interpersonal relationships, connection with the body, regulation of emotions, and new understandings of the issues that motivated participants to engage in therapy.
Conclusion
We conclude that this brief form of psychotherapy has the potential to positively contribute to clients' long-term mental health, which deserves further investigation.
期刊介绍:
Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
