Mental health in indigenous contexts: Scarcity of Brazilian researches, invisibility of differences. This study aimed to conduct a survey of articles produced on the topic mental health in indigenous contexts between the years 1999 and 2012 in the main Brazilian scientific platforms (SciELO and BVS-PSI). Three groups of descriptors were used, totaling 62 searches, which found 5510 results. Of these, only 14 articles remained after analysis. Data was collected on the distribution by year of publication, subject and object of research, ethnicity and geographic region covered, participation or not of psychology professionals in the study, among others. Also, we assessed whether the concepts of mental health and indigenous were or not problematized, taking into account the alterity and cultural diversity of these people. It was concluded that the researches are incipient and lack on epistemological reflection to support the complexity of this intercultural dialogue, which discusses knowledge arising from references that are originally so distinct.

We aimed to review of the Eccentricity dimension of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory (IDCP), through two steps. The first one focused on developing new items and the second on testing the psychometric properties in a sample of 225 subjects (70.1% females), aging between 18 and 66 years, mostly undergraduate students (58.9%). The subjects answered the IDCP, and the Brazilian versions of the NEO-PI-R, PID-5 and MIS. The first step resulted in 42 items, which 22 were new. The second step resulted in a composite of 18 items, pooled in six interpretable factors, as Interpersonal detachment, Eccentric style, Paranormality, Persecutory style, Depersonalization and Emotional inexpressiveness, with internal consistency coefficients of .85 for the total score, and between .60 and .82 for the factors. The correlations between instruments revealed consistent and expected relations. The data suggested adequacy of the new Eccentricity dimension of IDCP.

Abstract In this research process, Stiles’ assimilation of problematic experiences scale is used to study Olivia’s process of change. The objectives of this study are: first, to describe Olivia’s therapeutically successful assimilation of the problematic experience of fear of dying, treated with brief strategic therapy; and second, to study how that pattern of assimilation unfolded. We can conclude that Olivia assimilated her problematic experience of fear of dying by following a fluctuating and irregular pattern.

Abstract The questions that guide psychotherapy process research are: what changes in psychotherapy? And, how does that change occur? These questions have been present in clinical settings and psychotherapy research for decades, generating a substantial amount of knowledge for the discipline. Based on a questioning of the limitations of traditional psychotherapy research, whose primary focus has been the study of final outcomes of treatment, this area of research has exposed important conceptual and methodological proposals for the study of the process. Despite its long and productive tradition, research into the psychotherapeutic process is currently gathering a new momentum from the growing conviction of the need to focus efforts on studies that can account for the elements, mechanisms and processes associated with change. In this introduction we organize the field of psychotherapy process research, according to its units of analysis — macro- or micro-processes — and the foci on which they are based: content, factors and mechanisms of change. The different ways in which these components are organized are exemplified with the articles included in this monograph. We then give an overview of the most used methods in this field of study, also referring to the studies that report on the application of these methods in this special issue of Studies in Psychology.

Abstract This study examines clients’ and therapists’ verbal communication during psychotherapy, in order to determine its relation to ongoing change and outcome. It replicates previous studies showing the specificity of verbalizations depending on the speaker (client or therapist) and the phase of therapy, adding its relation to change measured at the level of process and final outcome. 7,009 speaking turns of clients and therapists, nested in 139 change episodes, were analysed regarding the use of the five Linguistic Basic Forms included in the Therapeutic Activity Coding System (TACS) through Hierarchical Modelling. Results show that three of these Linguistic Basic Forms — Question, Assertion and Agreement — are related to ongoing change as well as to final outcome.

Abstract Aim: to describe and understand an interrupted psychotherapy of a patient with Borderline Personality Disorder. Method: systematic, naturalistic and exploratory case study of the therapeutic dyad. The Therapeutic Cycles Model (TCM) and the Psychotherapy Process Q-Set (PQS) were the instruments used. Results: according to TCM, the case can be divided into two stages: one with cycles of change and one without cycles of change. According to the PQS, the themes addressed by the dyad were relevant to psychotherapy and related to patient diagnosis. However, the patient seemed to be uncommitted to the therapeutic process and did not rely on the therapist to solve her problems. The therapist’s attitudes were adequate but technical interventions were not prominent. The combination of patient and therapist data assisted in understanding why the psychotherapy was abandoned.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe verbal and nonverbal expressions of mutual regulation between patients and therapists through the analysis of relevant episodes of five psychotherapy processes. Microanalyses of discourse, vocal quality and facial expression of emotions were conducted on both patients and therapists in 67 Episodes of Change and 86 Episodes of Rupture of the Therapeutic Alliance. The analyses were carried out using hierarchical regression, showing that both Episodes of Change and Episodes of Rupture correspond to interactional scenarios where patients and therapists use different forms of speech, vocal qualities and facial expressions that account for specific regulation processes which are coherent with such scenarios.

Abstract Depressive symptoms are associated with typical ways of relating to and handling conflict with others. This study empirically analysed the most frequent relational ‘demands’ and ‘offers’ identified in the verbal expressions of depressive patients during the first session, comparing them according to their personality organization (anaclitic vs introjective). The CCRT-LU-S Category System was used to analyse the first session of 27 patients with depressive symptomatology. The results showed that the highest percentage of depressive patients’ interactional components identified were relational ‘offers’, whereas the remainder percentage were relational ‘demands’. At the same time, the highest percentage of those interactional components were verbalized as disharmonious (weakness, withdrawing, unpleasant and fighting) by anaclitic patients, while the highest percentage were verbalized as harmonious (loving or having self-determination) by introjective patients. Implications for clinical relevance of these results are discussed.

Abstract The nonverbal, implicit and affective regulation process of psychotherapy patients was studied through their facial-affective displays during Confrontation and Withdrawal Ruptures, as well as the evolution of this display throughout therapy. Twenty-six rupture episodes selected from a total of five individual therapeutic processes from different theoretical orientations were analysed using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), which analyses facial behaviour. The results showed association between expressions of Joy, Social Smile and positive emotional Valence during Withdrawal Ruptures, while Confrontation Ruptures were characterized by patients’ absence of Emotional Valence. The differential characteristics of these variables were associated with stages of therapy. The results are discussed based on the notions of agency and affiliation put into play by patients during events of relational tension.

Abstract The objectives of this research study were to validate a Spanish version of The Alliance Negotiation Scale with Mexican patients and contrast relevant variables from the therapy and negotiation of the alliance. The sample was composed of 199 participants of both sexes. Exploratory factor analysis grouped three factors related to the therapeutic alliance negotiation, which are: therapist’s flexibility; therapist’s negotiating stance; and being comfortable expressing negative feelings. This factorial structure differs from the English version. It was found that clients’ sex and age did not influence the negotiation of the alliance, while time in therapy and the reason for attendance did offer differences; it was determined that negotiations depend largely on the therapist being flexible and their negotiating stance during the process.
