Counselling in general practice: Clients' perceptions of significant events and outcome

Client-identified helpful and hindering events in therapist-delivered vs. self-administered online cognitive-behavioural treatments for depression in college students

“…These are similar to in-session outcomes reported from face-to-face studies (Booth, Cushway, & Newness, 1997;Elliott, 1985;Llewelyn, 1988;Llewelyn et al, 1988;Martin & Stelmaczonek, 1988). It can also be noted that some of these categories were rated higher for the cCBT group (awareness and insight 18/18, achievement, self-efficacy, empowerment 18/18) than for the eCBT group (awareness and insight 12/18, achievement, self-efficacy, empowerment 13/18).…”

“…This seems to be in line with the fact that the interpersonal impacts of being supported and validated (which are also to be found in face-to-face studies; cf. Booth et al, 1997;Elliott, 1985;Timulak, 2007) were rated highly by the eCBT group (12 of 18) and barely appeared for the cCBT group (1 of 18). In this case it is likely that the impact was related to events reported by the eCBT group such as, encouragement, advice and guidance, disclosing, being acknowledged and listened to, and the provision of compassion, all of which featured highly for the eCBT group and featured less so for the cCBT group.…”

Towards the development of Helpful Aspects of Morenian Psychodrama Content Analysis System (HAMPCAS)

“…Therapists can also use this feedback to select, create and modify interventions by improving their performance and becoming more responsive to clients' needs (Hampson, 2008). Finally, the development of this type of research responds to a generalized growing pressure by the international health services, contributing to the improvement of services and ensuring that clients of mental health services receive more appropriate treatment (Booth et al, 1997;Hampson, 2008;Elliott, 2008).…”

“…In a literature review the authors found six standardised coding systems to analyze the clients' perspectives. These six systems can be grouped in three categories: transversal systems, whose categories can be found in most therapeutic modalities (Therapeutic Impacts Content Analysis System -TICAS -Elliott et al, 1985;Booth et al, 1997; Integrative corrective experiences coding system; Friedlander et al, 2011; Good moments in counselling and psychotherapy; Mahrer & Nadler, 1986;Jones, Wynne, & Watson, 1986); systems that are adapted to certain theories, where categories refer exclusively to a certain type of therapy (Helpful Aspects of Experiential Therapy Content Analysis System -HAETCAS -Castonguay et al, 2010; Coding system for helpful and hindering aspects of CBT and IPT; Gershefski, Arnkoff, Glass, & Elkin,1996;Levy, Glass, Arnkoff, Gershefski, & Elkin;; and systems that refer to specific therapeutic phenomena, whereby the categories refer to phenomena that occur during the treatment (Empowerment Events System Timulak & Lietaer, 2001;Timulak, 2003). None of the systems mentioned above was considered appropriate to Morenian Psychodrama (MP), which lead us to develop the Helpful Aspects of Psychodrama Content Analysis System (HAMPCAS).…”

The healing aspects of biblical letters: A personal perspective

“…Some researchers have proposed that helpful events be explored in psychotherapy (e.g., Booth & Cushway, 1997;Elliott & Shapiro, 1988;Rice & Greenberg, 1984;Wilcox-Matthex, Ottens, & Minor, 1997). Elliott, James, Shulman, and Cline (1981) observed helpful events as insight, painful awareness, painful opening, client involvement, and personal contact.…”
