Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Procurou-se aprofundar as características dos psicoterapeutas (verbais e não-verbais)
que os pacientes mais percecionam como eficazes na co-construção dos racionais terapêuticos
utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa.
Método: Utilizou-se o método qualitativo Grounded Theory (Charmaz, 2014; Fernandes &
Maia, 2001) com o intuito de analisar as 10 entrevistas que foram realizadas a pacientes com
um processo psicoterapêutico em curso ou finalizado no último ano e que ocorre em contexto
privado.
Resultados: A análise dos dados gerou 19 categorias que remetem para comportamentos
persuasivos do psicoterapeuta aquando da co-construção de racionais terapêuticos. Estas
categorias foram organizadas em 5 domínios que remetem para construtos teóricos únicos e
interrelacionados: (1) Adoção de uma variedade de comportamentos não-verbais; (2) Promoção
e fortalecimento da relação terapêutica; (3) Adaptação dos comportamentos verbais às
características do paciente assente na exploração e validação do problema; (4) Criação de um
clima de receção/transmissão de feedback e discussão com o paciente; (5) Comportamentos do
terapeuta que não auxiliam na co-construção do racional terapêutico.
Conclusão: Os resultados do presente estudo permitiram aprofundar os comportamentos
persuasivos (verbais e não-verbais) que, na ótica do paciente, são favoráveis e desfavoráveis
para a eficácia do processo terapêutico aquando da co-construção dos racionais terapêuticos.
Estes resultados vão ao encontro do que a literatura sobre os comportamentos persuasivos do
terapeuta tem vindo a sugerir e os seus benefícios para a eficácia do processo terapêutico.
ABSTRACT: Objetive: The aim was to explore the verbal and non-verbal characteristics of psychotherapists that patients perceive as most effective in the co-construction of therapeutic rationales using a qualitative approach. Method: The qualiatative method Grounded Theory (Charmaz, 2014; Fernandes & Maia, 2001) was used to analyse 10 interviews conducted with patients who were either undergoing or had completed psychotherapy in the past year in a private practice setting. Results: Data analysis generated 19 categories related to persuasive behaviors of the psychotherapist during the co-construction of therapeutic rationales. These categories were organized into 5 domains representing unique and interrelated theoretical constructs: (1) Adoption of a variety of non-verbal bahaviors; (2) Promotion and strengthening of the therapeutic relationship; (3) Adaptation of verbal behaviors to the patient’s characteristics, based on the exploration and validation of the problema; (4) Creation of na environment for receiving/transmitting feedback and engaging in discussion with the patient; (5) Therapist behaviors that do not assist in the co-construction of the therapeutic rationale. Conclusion: The findings of this study allowed for a deeper understanding of the persuasive (verbal and non-verbal) behaviors that, from the patient’s perspective, are favorable and unfavorable for the effectiveness of the therapeutic process in the co-construction of therapeutic rationales. These results align with existing literature on the persuasive behaviors of therapists and their benefits for the efficacy of the therapeutic process.
