“…Furthermore, the counseling students noted ways in which their patience resulted in children showing them how capable they were of leading the therapeutic process. This finding is consistent with the descriptions found in other qualitative research (Baylis, Collins, & Coleman, 2011) that showed that children feel a strong therapeutic alliance when the therapist was patient with the process (e.g., attending, reflecting feelings) rather than directing the children (e.g., talking, questioning).…”

The purpose of this qualitative study is to describe critical incidents in child-centered play therapy (CCPT) preparation. Students learning to use play in counseling often experience unexpected events, or critical incidents. The way they manage these critical incidents can bring new perspectives on attitudes toward children, their knowledge and skills using play in counseling, and on emerging professional identities as play therapists. The findings of this qualitative study describe how student counselors perceive critical incidents and reflect on them in learning play therapy. The implications for using critical incidents methods in teaching play therapy and clinical supervision are discussed.

“…Most of the instruments used to assess the alliance are based on this theoretical construct, which, together with other definitions derived from it, reflect the implicit assumptions of its creators. However, as several studies have underscored, it is unclear how the theoretical assumptions underlying these measures fit the perspectives of therapy participants regarding the relevant features of the therapeutic alliance (Baylis, Collins, & Coleman, ; Bedi, Davis, & Williams, ; Krause, Altimir, & Horvath, ). Thus, due to being based on predefined scales and questions, the existing definitions encompass certain specific domains of experience regarding the alliance phenomenon, leaving others out; for example, they emphasize collaboration toward the attainment of therapeutic tasks and goals, thus focusing on more cognitive and behavioral aspects of therapy (Krause et al., ).…”

“…The existing research has shown that the therapeutic alliance is a relevant predictor of therapeutic outcomes in psychotherapy with children and adolescents (Shirk, Karver, & Brown, ). Even though the model advanced by Bordin () has served as a starting point for understanding alliance in this population, it is affected by major applicability issues (Baylis et al., ), given that it is the parents who often choose to seek help, according to their own therapeutic goals for the child, which usually differ from the minor's perspective and that of the therapist (Accurso & Garland, ; Shirk et al., ). Specifically, adolescents tend to disagree with their parents with respect to the nature of the problem and the need for treatment (Shirk & Karver, ).…”

Despite decades of research on the therapeutic relationship and the therapeutic alliance and their connection with therapeutic outcomes (Horvath, Del Re, Flückiger, & Symonds, 2011), only a handful of studies have examined how they are experienced by the therapy participants. The aim of the present study is to describe the therapeutic relationship from the subjective perspective of the patients and therapists involved in 3 clinical cases: (a) a 7-year-old child diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, (b) a 29-year old woman diagnosed with a personality disorder, and (c) a 22-year-old man diagnosed with schizophrenia. We conducted semistructured interviews with patients and therapists that were later analyzed following grounded theory coding procedures (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). The results obtained reveal that the constitutive elements of the therapeutic relationship are linked to 2 dimensions of the patient-therapist meeting experience: the technical and role-related dimension, characterized by relational asymmetry, and the affective exchange dimension, characterized by relational symmetry. The article discusses the possible association between the asymmetrical technical dimension, whose roles are defined by the organization of the helping relationship, and the notion of therapeutic alliance as commonly conceptualized and assessed; on the other hand, the experience of the bidirectional and symmetrical patient-therapist affective exchange is linked with concepts such as real relationship and intersubjectivity.

“…Se ha documentado que la psicoterapia de adolescentes necesita mayor investigación, ya que descripciones de la alianza terapéutica, el clima terapéutico y auto-conocimiento del psicoterapeuta, se basan principalmente en estudios y en adaptaciones de intervenciones que han funcionado para los adultos (Baylis, Collins & Coleman, 2011;Vargas, Gumucio & González, 2015). Por lo tanto, es imprescindible proporcionar, desde la evidencia, estrategias psicoterapéuticas eficaces para este grupo etario, ya que de cómo se resuelvan los conflictos en este periodo de desarrollo, será la madurez y estabilidad del adulto (Forman, 2004).…”

ResumenInvestigaciones recientes en psicoterapia muestran que el estudio de la interacción psicoterapéutica al centrar su atención en la conversación de interlocutores, entrega señales que permiten analizar el cambio terapéutico. El propósito del presente estudio de caso es analizar el movimiento de una Estructura de Intercambios Terapéuticos en la conversación de procesos psicoterapéuticos completos de adolescentes depresivos con intento de suicidio en contexto hospitalario. Se analizó el uso del tiempo de los intercambios comunicacionales entre terapeuta y paciente durante las sesiones, que fueron segmentadas en inicio, desarrollo y cierre. Los resultados muestran que los intercambios se producen según su utilidad en la psicoterapia y que su ocupación es sensible y ajustada al trabajo y objetivos terapéuticos que van surgiendo en la interacción. Adicionalmente se identificaron intercambios que son funcionales al inicio, desarrollo y cierre de cada sesión, y otros que deben utilizarse con cautela por parte del psicoterapeuta. La investigación verifico que el psicoterapeuta debe saber cuál, cuándo y cómo utilizar la Estructura de Intercambios Terapéuticos. Palabras clave: Intercambios; Cambio en Psicoterapia; Adolescentes; Análisis de la Conversación. AbstractRecent research in psychotherapy shows that the study of psychotherapeutic interaction by focusing attention on the conversation of interlocutors, provides signals to analyze the therapeutic change. The purpose of the present case study is to understand the movement of a Therapeutic Exchange Structure in the conversation of complete psychotherapeutic processes of depressed adolescents with attempted suicide in a hospital context, analyzing the use of the time of the exchanges in the sessions, which were segmented in start, development and closure. The results show that the exchanges are managed according to their usefulness in psychotherapy that their occupation is sensitive and adjusted to the work and therapeutic objectives that arise in the interaction. In addition, there would be exchanges that are functional at the beginning, development and closure of each session, and others that should be used with caution. The psychotherapist must know what, when and how to use the Structure of Therapeutic Exchanges.
