ABSTRACT The therapeutic contract is an important aspect of the counseling process. However, it has received limited research interest, especially in the person-centered community. The objective of this qualitative study was to examine the perceptions and use of therapeutic contracts of seven experienced, person-centered therapists in Greece. A grounded theory design was chosen to guide the analysis of the data that were collected through semi-structured interviews. The emergent theoretical model was conceptualized as a system organized around the core category of ‘Forming a Safe – Attuned Framework’, which included the key-categories ‘Coordination game’, ‘Boundary setting’, and ‘Equal relationship’. Data analysis also revealed the contextual input of the ‘Therapist’s characteristics’ and the contextual output of the ‘Client consequences’. The emergent theory suggests that experienced person-centered therapists utilize therapeutic contracts in the first session with a new client in order to create a safe environment in which they can work cooperatively and develop their relationship. This process is guided by specific characteristics of the therapists (e.g. their sense of professional identity), and leads to various positive consequences for clients (e.g. facilitating their personal freedom). The study has important implications for practicing professionals, as well as for the training of new person-centered therapists.

ABSTRACT Person-centered therapy aims to help clients actualize their own power. When working with adolescents, the developmental needs of the client and the power difference between client and therapist may present additional barriers to this. This study sought to understand the power dynamics of the therapy relationship from the adolescent client’s perspective. Seven adolescent clients in person-centered therapy took part in semi-structured interviews. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to explore the meaning they made of their experiences. Participants’ experiences centered around five themes: 1) feeling my vulnerability entering a relationship with a powerful figure; 2) being invited to express myself; 3) evaluating if I can trust my counselor; 4) feeling I’m in control in a relationship with boundaries; and 5) exercising my power in the relationship. Participants described a process whereby, helped by their counselor, they negotiated an unequal power dynamic and were able to exercise power in the relationship. Implications for person-centered therapists working with adolescents are considered.

ABSTRACT Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is an increasingly popular form of humanistic therapy that is spreading internationally through standard training curricula. The empirical investigations of training in EFT have, however, received little attention. This study investigated certified EFT therapists’ experience of learning EFT, including their experience of didactic training, experiential exercises, supervision, and self-study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 certified EFT therapists, respectively. All the interviews were recorded and transcribed, and data were analyzed using a descriptive and interpretive approach. Results showed that therapists had both positive and challenging experiences during their learning process: the therapy proved complex to learn, experiential exercises (chair work) were challenging but important for learning, self-study played an important role, experiencing different trainers was valuable, and the role of structured supervision to scaffold learning was emphasized. In conclusion, learning EFT is a rewarding yet challenging process for therapists to go through.

ABSTRACT In Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), the Focusing task normally involves processing an unclear felt sense. In earlier research, Harte (2012) proposed an expanded version of the Focusing task designed to reprocess emotional pain relating to unresolved painful/traumatic events. More recently, Harte used the discovery phase of task analysis to refine the proposed model and develop a method for bringing previously suppressed or incomplete memories of painful/traumatic events back into awareness so they can be successfully processed and integrated. In that study, 12 single therapy sessions were video recorded, transcribed, observed and analyzed by two investigators using the task analysis method. A successful outcome session was identified as a good demonstration of the task that led to a resolution, and had high scores on the Experiencing Scale, the Emotional Arousal Scale-III, and an amended Client Emotional Productivity Scale-Dimensional. In successful outcome sessions, clients described a felt shift. A sequential three-stage empirical model emerged from the analysis. This paper presents an in-depth qualitative account of the successful use of the expanded focusing model in a single session with a 53-year-old woman with a history of ‘small t’ trauma.

ABSTRACT While it has become clear that high-conflict divorce/separation can have both short- and long-term negative effects upon children, traditional measures of health and adjustment are limited in their ability to fully capture the depth and scope of this trauma. The impact of parental conflict and divorce can arguably be more deeply grasped by clinicians attuned to existential considerations. The authors argue in select cases certain theoretical underpinnings of Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy (EI) may reflect the lived experience of a young client. By extension, aspects of EI may benefit certain youth being treated from a Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) framework. The theoretical implications and potential applications of an integrated approach are explored.

ABSTRACT Relational depth (RD) refers to moments in a therapeutic relationship in which a person has feelings of aliveness, satisfaction and immersion. However, no research has yet tested for the association between RD and concepts closely aligned with Carl Rogers’ hypothesis of how people change in a growth-promoting relationship. In this study, 55 therapy clients completed the relational depth inventory (RDI), the unconditional positive self-regard scale (UPSR) and the authenticity scale (AS). It was found that higher scores on the RDI were associated with higher scores on the UPSR and the AS. These results provide initial evidence for the growth-promoting effects of RD. Further prospective research is now warranted.

ABSTRACT Emotion-focused group therapy is a relatively new therapy format that utilizes individual emotion-focused therapy (EFT) work in a group setting to evoke and transform painful emotions, both directly and vicariously. Currently, EFT groups are being run at sites in Canada, Australia, Spain, Norway and the United States, and interest appears to be growing in offering these groups. Existing literature shows reductions in disordered eating and depression symptoms among EFT group participants with eating disorders; however, there is a dearth of data on participants with mood disorders. Participants in the current study were university students presenting to counseling with symptoms of depression or anxiety who identified significant self-critical processes, and who were referred to a weekly EFT therapy group. Over the course of group, participants reported statistically and clinically significant decreases in depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as significant improvements in emotion regulation. These results contribute to the emerging literature on group-based EFT, and implications of these results on group provision are discussed. Overall, this study suggests that emotion-focused group therapy is a promising treatment for symptoms of anxiety and depression, and is worthy of further study. Experiential therapies, which work to transform painful emotions underlying symptoms, are typically individual treatments, and group therapy can provide increased access to this type of care.

ABSTRACT This research investigated the processing and integration of past painful/traumatic events using an expanded model of the Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) task of Focusing. In previous research Harte proposed that processing emotional injuries by bringing previously incomplete memories back into awareness through activating felt sense, followed a particular sequence. The discovery phase of task analysis, a theory building research methodology, was used to develop a detailed model that revealed the steps of client change. Two sets of client participants were recruited. (1) Clients who reported they had experienced an emotional injury that resulted in emotional pain and had been engaged in therapy for some time and (2) trainee therapists in the role of client (bringing their own experiences) working with another trainee. A total of nine EFT trained therapists (26–57 years, mean = 44.25 years, five females and four males) worked with 11 clients (26–53 years, mean = 38.50 years, eight females and three males). Twelve single sessions were visually recorded, transcribed, and rigorously analyzed. A sequential three stage empirical model emerged from the discovery phase of the task analysis. The resultant empirical model describes a newly identified EFT task for processing emotional injuries in response to a felt sense of emotional pain (the marker).

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to offer a definition of encounter and encounter groups based on the author’s understanding and experience as a participant and facilitator. Through reflection on experience as a participant, consideration is given to how the self-awareness and insights gained from this can shape the understanding of the role of facilitator, and how it enables what can be offered to groups as a facilitator. Theoretical contributions to understanding the role of the facilitator are considered. A strong relationship is proposed between experiences and gains as a participant and becoming an aware and helpful facilitator, arguing that experiences as a participant have the potential to contribute to the ability to trust both oneself and the facilitative potential of the group, tolerate uncertainty, hear others accurately and take risks.

ABSTRACT Human beings do not have a fixed sex/gender but everyone is constantly (re)creating the concepts of femininity and masculinity. But gender still functions as a basis for discrimination in the existing social order. The authors point out the importance of knowing about and reflecting gender prejudices as well as gender stereotypes, forms and mechanisms of discrimination being at work in order to not reproduce gender inequalities in facilitated groups. This article summarizes principles and present insights into gender-sensitiveness that might be important for person-centred encounter-groups.
