Problema: As competências interpessoais dos psicoterapeutas são um elemento
crucial para resultados positivos ao longo do processo terapêutico. Diversas
características do psicoterapeuta, já foram amplamente exploradas. Este estudo foi
conduzido devido à lacuna no conhecimento científico sobre um desses atributos que
permanece pouco explorado, a persuasão. Uma competência de considerável relevância
para a eficiência na psicoterapia.
Objetivo: Este estudo observacional tem como objetivo avaliar as habilidades
persuasivas dos psicoterapeutas, bem como verificar e comparar se existem diferenças
significativas nos níveis de persuasão, em cinco abordagens terapêuticas diferentes e ao
longo das sessões de psicoterapia.
Método: Por meio da análise de vinte e três vídeos de sessões individuais de
psicoterapia, foi aplicada a Escala de Avaliação de Persuasão do Psicoterapeuta
(Afonseca et al., 2022), avaliada individualmente por três observadoras, a fim de garantir
maior autenticidade e precisão nos resultados. Os procedimentos estatísticos foram
realizados através do software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
Resultados: Observou-se um aumento progressivo nos níveis de persuasão ao
longo das sessões terapêuticas, evidenciando uma melhoria constante na eficiência das
intervenções persuasivas à medida que o tratamento avançava. Além disso, foram
identificadas algumas diferenças significativas na efetividade das características
persuasivas ao comparar as diversas abordagens psicoterapêuticas, salientando-se
especialmente a psicoterapia Dinâmica Experiencial Acelerada (AEDP), seguida da
psicoterapia Centrada na Pessoa (PCT), e a que apresentou uma efetividade menor, mas
ainda assim relevante, a terapia dos Esquemas (ST).
ABSTRACT: Problem: The interpersonal skills of psychotherapists are a crucial factor for positive outcomes throughout the therapeutic process. Several characteristics of psychotherapists have already been widely explored. However, this study was conducted due to a gap in the scientific knowledge about one attribute that remains underexplored, persuasion. Persuasion is a skill of considerable relevance to the effectiveness of psychotherapy (Frank & Frank, 1991). Objective: This observational study aims to evaluate psychotherapists' persuasive abilities and to examine and compare potential significant differences in persuasion levels across five different therapeutic approaches and throughout the course of psychotherapy sessions. Method: Through the analysis of twenty-three videos of individual psychotherapy sessions, the Therapist’s Persuasiveness Rating Scale (Afonseca et al., 2022) was applied, with the individual evaluation, conducted by three observers to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the results, statistical analyses were conducted, using the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: A progressive increase in persuasion levels was observed throughout the therapy sessions, indicating a constant improvement in the effectiveness of persuasive interventions as the treatment progressed. In addition, some significant differences were identified in the effectiveness of persuasive characteristics when comparing various psychotherapeutic approaches, highlighting the Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), followed by Person Centred Therapy (PCT) and the one that presented least effectiveness, but still relevant, Schema Therapy (ST).
