Characterizing the therapist’s responsiveness when using supporting and challenging interventions: a case study
| Resumo: | Appropriate responsiveness is an important skill for a therapist and thus should be trained and developed. To be appropriately responsive is to know what the client needs and how he needs it in any given moment during the therapeutic process. Appropriately responsive interventions, by the therapist, favor client’s validation, consequently, contributing to the development of the therapeutic collaboration and enhancing the therapeutic process. This case study had the objective of understanding if specific therapeutic skills demonstrate a pattern of more or less responsiveness. In this sense we used the Therapeutic Collaboration Coding System, which allowed us to analyze the client’s responses to the therapist’s various interventions. The results show that, independently of the type of specific skill utilized, the therapist tends to be responsive when he supports the client’s perspective. Based on the client’s responses, when the therapist challenges the client’s perspective, she tends to be more responsive when inviting the client to adopt a new action and less responsive when confronting or inviting the client to explore a hypothetical scenario. |
