          Abstract

          Estudo retrospectivo da validade preditiva da Escala Rutgers de Progresso em Psicoterapia (RPPS). A escala é composta por oito ítens teoricamente embasados e avalia seqüencialmente as transcrições de sessões usando escala de cinco pontos. A pesquisa envolveu dois processos completos de psicoterapia breve, semelhantes na duração e condições dos sujeitos. Os processos foram avaliados pré e pós terapia quanto à qualidade adaptativa (EDAO) e funcionamento psicodinâmico (EAP e EAR), mostrando-se um bem-sucedido e outro medianamente bem-sucedido. Estudou a fidedignidade das avaliações da RPPS feitas por grupos de juízes, empregando o Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse. Obteve acordo mínimo de 0,40 em 6 ítens, sendo 3 em comum para ambos os processos. A análise clínica destes ítens considerou a evolução e avaliações dos processos. A evolução de Colaboração apresentou possibilidade de discriminar os resultados terapêuticos. A escala mostrou-se sensível para identificar episódios críticos para o progresso terapêutico. São necessárias réplicas deste estudo.

          The present paper is a retrospective study of the predictive validity of the Rutgers Psychotherapy Progress Scale (RPPS). The scale is composed by eight theoretically based items and it assesses the transcriptions of the sessions in the sequence of occurrence using a 5-point scale. The research used two complete short-term psychotherapies both similar in duration and in the subjects' conditions. Both processes were assessed before and after therapy in terms of the adaptive quality (EDAO) and psychodynamic functioning (EAP and EAR), one of which was considered to have had a very good outcome and the other a mildly positive outcome. This study also verified the reliability of the evaluations of RPPS made by groups of judges using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. The result showed a minimal agreement of 0,40 in six items, three of which were common to both processes. The clinical analysis of the evaluation of the common items also used their evaluations as criteria. It was verified that the evolution of Collaboration during all the processes showed a predictive value in discriminating the outcomes. The scale showed sensibility to identify critical episodes in the therapeutic progress.

          The resolution of ruptures in the therapeutic alliance.

          This article outlines some of the main features of a research program on ruptures in the therapeutic alliance and reports some of the major findings to date. A rupture in the therapeutic alliance is a deterioration in the quality of the relationship between patient and therapist; it is an interpersonal marker that indicates a critical opportunity for exploring and understanding the processes that maintain a maladaptive interpersonal schema. Following the task-analytic research paradigin, a preliminary model of the resolution process was developed and then tested and revised with 2 different data sets. A series of lag 1 sequential analyses were used to confirm the hypothesized sequences of events within resolution sessions and to demonstrate a difference between resolution and nonresolution sessions. This article describes the evolution of a model of rupture resolution and then discusses its implications for treatment development and evaluation.

            Emotion-abstraction patterns in verbatim protocols: a new way of describing psychotherapeutic processes.

            The goal of the study was to develop a computer-aided system that is able to identify key moments in transcripts from psychoanalytic sessions and to provide an adequate theory of change. The term key moment refers to 1 or more sessions of a treatment or to segments of a session that are seen as clinically important and often considered to be a turning point or breakthrough and that mirror points of insight as they occur in the course of the psychotherapeutic process. It will be shown that patterns built of combinations of the content analysis variable "emotion tone" and "abstraction" allow for describing therapeutic cycles including key moments. The method is shown successfully for a single case and for a sample of improved and not improved patients.

              Emotion in psychotherapy.

              The therapeutic process involves many different types of affective phenomena. No single therapeutic perspective has been able to encompass within its own theoretical framework all the ways in which emotion plays a role in therapeutic change. A comprehensive, constructive theory of emotion helps transcend the differences in the therapeutic schools by viewing emotion as a complex synthesis of expressive motor, schematic, and conceptual information that provides organisms with information about their responses to situations that helps them orient adaptively in the environment. In addition to improved theory, increased precision in the assessment of affective functioning in therapy, as well as greater specification of different emotional change processes and means of facilitating these, will allow the role of emotion in change to be studied more effectively. A number of different change processes involving emotion are discussed, as well as principles of emotionally focused intervention that help access emotion and promote emotional restructuring.
