A persuasão do psicoterapeuta como preditora de uma aliança terapêutica
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Estudos comprovam que a psicoterapia, independentemente do modelo terapêutico,
é eficaz no tratamento dos problemas de saúde mental. Uma crescente perceção da
importância da aliança terapêutica e o conhecimento que alguns terapeutas são mais eficazes
que outros tem ganho relevância científica. O presente estudo resulta da necessidade de
compreender se a qualidade da persuasão, como característica comum dos terapeutas, é um
fator preditor da aliança terapêutica, ou se diferentes modelos poderão ser considerados mais
persuasivos.
Método: O presente estudo é de natureza quantitativa, em formato essencialmente descritivo,
comparativo e correlacional. Teve por base a visualização de vídeos de sessões
psicoterapêuticas reais de dois modelos terapêuticos distintos, EFT e AEDP. Dados foram
analisados através do programa SPSS por modelo e por terapeuta, com base na cotação dos
vídeos através do questionário de Persuasão Adaptado e análise do questionário WAI-C.
Resultados: O modelo EFT apresenta uma média de persuasão superior ao modelo AEDP.
No entanto, podemos constatar que, relativamente à aliança terapêutica a observação é
inversa. Relativamente às correlações, não existe associação significativa entre as variáveis
persuasão e aliança terapêutica.
Conclusões: Entre modelos terapêuticos não foram observados resultados diferentes
relativamente à persuasão e à aliança terapêutica. Face às limitações, não é possível afirmar
que exista uma correlação significativa entre a persuasão do terapeuta e a aliança terapêutica,
nem que a persuasão seja um fator preditor da aliança terapêutica independentemente do
modelo , nem que diferentes modelos poderão ser considerados mais persuasivos que outros.
Objective: Studies prove that psychotherapy, regardless of the therapeutic model, is effective in treating mental health problems. A growing awareness of the therapeutic alliance importance and the knowledge that some therapists are more effective than others has gained scientific relevance. The present study results from the need to understand whether the quality of persuasion, as a common characteristic of therapists, is a therapeutic alliance predictor, or whether different models can be considered more persuasive. Method: The present study is of a quantitative nature, in an essentially descriptive, comparative and correlational format. It was based on viewing videos of real psychotherapy sessions of two different therapeutic models, EFT and AEDP. Data was analysed through the SPSS program by model and by therapist, based on video quotations through the Adapted Persuasion questionnaire and WAI-C questionnaire analysis. Results: The EFT model has a higher persuasion average than the AEDP model. However, it was observed that, regarding the therapeutic alliance, the results are reversed. Regarding the correlations, there is no significant association between the variables persuasion and therapeutic alliance. Conclusions: Through this analysis there are no different results between therapeutic models regarding persuasion and therapeutic alliance. In view of the limitations, it is not possible to state that there is a significant correlation between the therapist's persuasion and the therapeutic alliance and that persuasion is a predictor of the therapeutic alliance regardless of the model or that different models may be considered more persuasive than others.
