“…These results are in accordance with previous studies with the ARCS (Braga et al, 2016;Braga et al, 2018) that revealed that successful ambivalence resolution calls for a progressive tendency not to silence or inhibit the problematic pattern, but to consider and validate its motivations and reasons, while also considering and validating the innovative part. This is also in line with the assumptions from other models (e.g., Assimilation Model, Stiles, 2002;EFT, Greenberg, 2002;Coherence Therapy, Ecker & Hulley, 1996) that suggest a progressive integration of experiences through the development of a dialectical articulation between divergent positions of the self. These findings are also consistent with the main premises and techniques proposed by the meaning reconstruction therapeutic approach (Neimeyer, 2001;2006;.…”

Ambivalence Resolution in Meaning Reconstruction Grief Therapy: An Exploratory Study

et al. 2021

In psychotherapy, ambivalence may be conceptualized as a conflict between two distinct motivations: one that is favorable to change (pro-change) and another that favors the maintenance of a problematic pattern (pro status quo). Previous studies identified two processes by which clients resolve this conflict: imposing the innovative part and silencing the problematic one (dominance), and establishing negotiations between the innovative and the pro status quo parts (negotiation). The present exploratory study examined ambivalence resolution in a sample of clients diagnosed with complicated grief. Results revealed that, in recovered cases, negotiation increases and dominance decreases from the beginning until the middle sessions of therapy and the opposite tendency is observed from the middle to the final sessions. Unchanged cases reveal an overall high proportion of dominance and an overall low proportion of negotiation. These results are partially divergent from those reported in previous studies with samples of clients diagnosed with major depression.

“…The construct of working alliance has been extensively studied and validated. In essence, alliance refers to the quality and strength of the collaborative relationship (Horvath & Bedi, 2002). Research has demonstrated that quality of the relationship, or "alliance," between client and counselor is one of the best predictors of positive outcome in psychotherapy (e.g., Barber, Connolly, Crits-Cristoph, Gladis, & Siqueland, 2000;Green, 2006;Horvath, 2000;Joyce, Piper, & Ogrodniczuk, 2007;Martin, Garske, & Davis, 2000;Norcross, 2002).…”

Relationships with teachers have been found to be particularly salient for elementary-age students, as they relate to successful adjustment to school. The construct of working alliance reconceptualizes traditional definitions of relationship to consider elements of emotional connection, as well as the collaboration central to the working relationship between two individuals. The current study sought to examine the construct validity of the Classroom Working Alliance Inventory (CWAI). Multilevel confirmatory factor analyses supported a two-factor model, representing the emotional and collaborative elements of relationship. These findings provide evidence for the validity of the construct of classroom working alliance in capturing the working relationship between teacher and student. SC H O O L and classroom environments play a central role in children's development, and interactions within these contexts are critical to our understanding of student well-being and positive adjustment (Masten & Coatsworth, 1998;NICHD-ECCRN, 2002, 2004. A relationship with a teacher can be an important source of security and stability for students (

“…How a practitioner responds to any observed resistance or ambivalence has a direct impact upon the likelihood of change (Drage et al, 2019). In more general therapeutic terms, this is akin to the importance of therapeutic alliance (or relationship) being critical to predicting favourable outcomes (e.g., Horvath and Bedi, 2002).…”

Behaviour change, the itchy spot of healthcare quality improvement: How can psychology theory and skills help to scratch the itch?

Despite the clear utility and transferability, National Health Service (NHS) quality improvement initiatives have yet to benefit fully from what is already known within health psychology. Thus far, evidence from established, seminal behaviour change theory and practice have been ignored in favour of newly developed models and frameworks. Further, whilst there is a growing interest in what is commonly referred to as ‘human factors’ of change and improvement, there is scant transferability of known psychologically informed implementation skills into routine NHS Improvement practice. The science and practice of healthcare improvement is growing, and the behaviour change aspect is critical to sustainable outcomes. Therefore, this paper offers practical guidance on how seminal psychological behaviour change theory and motivational interviewing (a person-centred skills-based approach specifically developed to support people through change) can be combined to better address individual and organisational change within a healthcare improvement context.
