Tracking the Sequences of Patient-Therapist Dialogues by Coding Responses during Integrative Psychotherapy
Authors
Abstract:
Aim: The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES) for the coding of client responses and the Process Focused Conversation Analysis (PFCA) for coding therapist responses were applied to transcripts of a successful case of integrative psychotherapy of depression. Methods: the research method of the present research was case study. Dialogues (150) between a therapist and client in one good outcome case were coded and analyzed by two different systems; APES and PFCA. Results: Data revealed that combining APES and PFCA results in a suitable coding system for drawing a change equation of the client. In a pyramid of therapeutic change questions, skills and techniques, which have been applied by the therapist, are located in the base, center and superior level respectively and higher APES levels are located at the top of the pyramid. Efficient intervention has to be delineated on the spot and appropriate for the situation the client is in at one particular moment. Case improvement is demonstrated at high levels of APES and APES Level 4 is the critical level. Conclusions: Setbacks and stagnations are common within psychotherapy and generally are affected by the main topic of therapeutic conversation.

Patient and therapist introject, interpersonal process, and differential psychotherapy outcome.
The Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB; Benjamin, 1974, 1982, 1984) system was used to study the interpersonal process between patient and therapist in the 3rd session of 14 therapeutic dyads. Dyads were grouped into good and poor outcomes cases (n = 7) on the basis of the amount of change in the patients' introject as measured by the INTREX Introject Questionnaire (Benjamin, 1983). S...
