“…At the same time that she was calming herself, the supervisor was already arriving at new insights and creating an emotionally safe space into which she invited the supervisee, who, in turn, was regulating herself at the same time. In line with Erzar and Kompan Erzar (2006), this process can be referred to as affective autoregulation, which in this case applies to the processes of self-regulation and mutual regulation. Tronick (1998) has suggested that in the process of mutual regulation each partner affects the other's "state of consciousness."…”

This qualitative study explores moments within four individual psychotherapy supervision processes that were experienced by supervisors and supervisees as crucial in terms of change. A multi-case study design was applied, and multiple sources of data were analyzed. On the basis of a constant comparative method, the following themes were identified that appeared in the same order within all moments of change: increasing tension, unexpected move and uncertainty, reestablishing connection, and new insights and plans. The study then tested the hypothesis that the themes contain elements of affect regulation, defined as attunement, disruption, and repair. To test this hypothesis, the four themes were first analyzed descriptively, and then coded for emotional expressions. The results confirmed the presence of affect regulation in every theme. The findings have significant implications for understanding and teaching psychotherapy supervision.

“…Although conceptualizations of core relationship themes relating to mutual interaction between partners are not new in the field of couple therapy (e.g., “mutual affective regulation,” see Erzar & Erzar, ; “power inequality within couple,” see Ward & Knudson‐Martin, ), one area of research on couple dynamics gaining increased attention over the past 15 years is dyadic coping (DC). DC has been defined as “the interplay between the stress signals of one partner and the coping reactions of the other, a genuine act of shared coping” (Revenson, Kayser, & Bodenmann, , p. 4).…”

This study aimed at moving beyond previous research on couple therapy efficacy by examining moment-by-moment proximal couple and therapist interactions as well as final treatment outcomes and their reciprocal association. Seven hundred four episodes of dyadic coping within 56 early therapy sessions, taken from 28 married couples in treatment, were intensively analyzed and processed using a mixed-methods software (T-LAB). Results showed that negative dyadic coping was self-perpetuating, and therapists tended to passively observe the negative couple interaction; on the contrary, positive dyadic coping appeared to require a therapist's intervention to be maintained, and successful interventions mainly included information gathering as well as interpreting. Couples who dropped out of treatment were not actively engaged from the outset of therapy, and they used more negative dyadic coping, whereas couples who successfully completed treatment showed more positive dyadic coping very early in therapy. Results highlight the role of therapist action and control as critical to establishing rapport and credibility in couple therapy and suggest that dyadic coping patterns early in therapy may contribute to variable treatment response.
