Abstract(s)
A investigação em psicoterapia, recentemente, tem-se debruçado sobre a Aliança Terapêutica (AT), as rupturas e a monitorização do processo terapêutico, tentado compreender as características que são susceptíveis de influenciar o progresso da terapia. A AT, em particular tem sido um dos focos principais da investigação em psicoterapia. Contudo, existem, poucos estudos com pacientes que têm um histórico de drop outs ou de várias mudanças de terapias e terapeutas. O presente trabalho procurou colmatar esta lacuna, e teve como objetivo compreender a experiência de uma pessoa que recorre a diversas terapias e terapeutas, as variáveis que estão associadas a esta procura, bem como os aspetos positivos e negativos que tiveram maior relevância ao longo do seu processo terapêutico. Realizou-se uma entrevista semi-aberta e foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa, nomeadamente uma análise de conteúdo, onde foram consideradas três categorias principais: (1) “Características e contexto pessoal (Visão do mundo)”, (2) “Razões que levaram ao processo terapêutico/objetivos” e a (3) “Experiência do percurso terapêutico”. Verificou-se que os resultados, na generalidade, foram ao encontro da investigação mais recente sobre AT, rupturas e drop outs, sobretudo no sentido em que, para a participante, é a presença dos constituintes centrais da AT que mais parecem moldar a sua adesão à terapia.
esearch in psychotherapy has recently been focused on the Therapeutic Alliance (TA), ruptures and monitoring of the therapeutic process, aiming to understand the characteristics that are likely to influence the therapy process. TA, in particular, has been one of the main focus of the research in psychotherapy. However,there is a lack of studies with patients who have a history of constant drop outs or various changes in therapies and therapists. The present study sought to fill this gap, and aimed to understand the experience of a person who resorted to different therapies and therapists, trying to understand the variables that are associated with her process, as well as relevant positive and negative aspects throughout her own process. A semi-open interview was carried out and a qualitative methodology was used, namely a content analysis,in which three main categories were found: (1) “Characteristics and personal context (Worldview)”, (2) “Reasons that led to the therapeutic process / objectives ”and (3)“ Experience of the therapeutic process”. It was found that the results, in general, were in line with the most recent research on TA, ruptures and drop outs. For the participant, the presence of the main constituents of TA adherence her to therapy.
