Psychodynamic Therapy01:29

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapies emphasize the exploration of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences as fundamental contributors to psychological difficulties. These therapies, deeply rooted in Freud's psychoanalytic theory, aim to uncover and resolve unconscious conflicts, granting individuals insights that promote emotional and behavioral healing.

Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...

Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in different ways based on the...

Elements Crucial for Effective Psychotherapy01:25

Elements Crucial for Effective Psychotherapy

Research has highlighted several critical factors that influence the effectiveness of psychotherapy, such as the therapeutic alliance, the therapist, and the client.
The Therapeutic Alliance
The therapeutic alliance refers to the relationship between the therapist and the client.

The Adventures of Fundi Intervention Based on the Cognitive and Emotional Processing in Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder Patients

Published on: June 12, 2020

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Shared decision-making (SDM) is crucial for patient involvement in healthcare decisions.
  • SDM is increasingly recognized for personalizing psychotherapy in mental health.
  • Limited research exists on SDM's specific implications within the psychotherapy setting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the enactment of SDM within the therapeutic encounter in psychotherapy.
  • To explore how therapists and patients collaboratively decide on individualized treatment content.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of ten audio-recorded SDM dialogues in psychotherapy.
  • Inclusion of patients (18-55 years) undergoing group-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression.
  • Structured qualitative analysis of therapist-patient interactions during SDM sessions.

Main Results:

  • Identification of three distinct negotiation forms in SDM: negotiating frames, preferences, and meaning.
  • Demonstration that SDM enactment in psychotherapy is not direct but involves intricate interactional processes.

Conclusions:

  • SDM in psychotherapy is a complex, dynamic process rather than a straightforward application.
  • The findings underscore the challenges and nuances of implementing SDM in therapeutic dialogues.
