O presente estudo qualitativo pretende compreender o contexto, as características e os
impactos das práticas do terapeuta em psicoterapia existencial. Para o efeito aplicou-se o SET
1 – Formulário de Eventos Significativos do Terapeuta. Participaram 4 terapeutas existenciais,
e 10 pacientes em processo de psicoterapia numa Clínica Universitária, com os próprios
terapeutas.
Em relação aos resultados, estes revelam que o Encontro Terapêutico é a base das
sessões, e que os conteúdos que são trabalhados durante as mesmas, especificamente nos
momentos considerados significativos pelos terapeutas, estes adotam por um lado uma
postura terapêutica caracterizada pelo envolvimento, segurança, escuta ativa, disponibilidade
para acompanhar em momentos difíceis, exploração de sentimentos e experiências, e espaço
para nomear e experienciar sentimentos e emoções (Posturas Terapêuticas). E por outro lado,
uma postura de orientação, promovendo a reflexividade, a responsabilização,
consciencialização, tendo sido estes impactos identificados no estudo (Competências
Relacionais).
