“…Nonmutual relationships are often expected by clients and a cause of mental distress through a loss of agency (Gagerman, 2004; Murphy, Cramer, & Joseph, 2012; Tickle & Murphy, 2014). The expectation of nonmutual relationships stems from a feeling of not being worthy of connection (Gagerman, 2004), where being vulnerable (Binder, Moltu, Hummelsund, & Holgersen, 2011) leads to clients’ strategies of disconnection (Tickle & Murphy, 2014). Strategies of disconnection are employed to maintain a nonmutual position within the relationship by not engaging fully in the relationship.…”

“…Mutuality can also be a process that mediates other relationship variables (Binder et al, 2011), an intersubjective and relational knowing (Gagerman, 2004), and an experience that influences and is influenced by therapist's self-disclosure (Wells, 1994).…”

“…This mutual impact promotes client agency as they perceive the impact they have on the therapist (Binder et al, 2011;Tickle & Murphy, 2014) and the therapeutic process itself (Binder et al, 2011;Etherington, 2011). This reconnects the client's sense of being worthy of connection and relational efficacy, which is then experienced outside of the therapeutic relationship (Gagerman, 2004;Tickle & Murphy, 2014).…”

This manuscript presents a systematic review of mutuality in psychotherapy, including meta-analysis of quantitative and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies. A search with specified keyword combinations yielded 21 studies, including 10 quantitative studies with 1,071 participants and 11 qualitative studies with 81 participants. Researchers calculated effect sizes, conducted homogeneity tests, and assessed potential variables moderating the relationship between mutuality and therapeutic variables from quantitative studies; they analyzed qualitative studies to identify and synthesize themes related to mutuality in psychotherapy. Meta-analysis showed a large weighted mean effect size with a statistically significant overall relationship between mutuality and therapeutic variables (r = 0.51, 95% CI [0.37; 0.66], p < 0.001). The relationship between mutuality and session quality was strongest of the six relationships analyzed (r = 0.70, 95% CI [0.43; 0.97], p < 0.001). Qualitative meta-synthesis of studies produced six themes: 1. Lack of mutuality/strategies for disconnection, 2. Co-created relational process, 3. Meta-communication and misunderstanding, 4. Therapist congruence/being real, 5. Mutual impact and client agency, and 6. Asymmetric role power and boundaries. These findings suggest that mutuality is worthy of further research in psychotherapy, particularly in relation to its strong relationship with session quality.

“…The researchers therefore argue against prevailing ideas that recording sensitive clinical settings is unethical by demonstrating that the camera can provide a range of values for participants. While in many cases, participants express initial reluctance to being recorded, their ultimate decision to allow themselves to be recorded tends to be based in the value they find in helping others through the recorded material, showing an exercise of agency and negotiation of power in the decision to be filmed (Gagerman, 2004;Silverman, 2016).…”

“…Not all researchers who wish to incorporate video data into their study design possess the necessary skills to effectively operate video equipment toward their purposes. This limitation has been overcome through partnerships with individuals who do possess the necessary tech skills: researchers have partnered with professional camera operators and filmmakers (Brannen, 2002;Fenge and Jones, 2012;Gagerman, 2004;Grassau, 2009) and formed collaborative projects with university digital video departments (Gelman and Tosone, 2010). While such collaborations can be advantageous to all parties involved, they can also create additional complications of control in the research process and further expense, limiting possibilities for future video research.…”

The value of digital video data for qualitative social work research: A narrative review

This study evaluates the value of digital video data in qualitative social work research at each stage of the research process. Through an analytic narrative review of the social work literature and related social sciences fields, the article argues that video data are under-utilized in social work research despite great opportunity to enhance the research process and articulate with social work values in the research encounter. The unique contributions of video data in the collection, analysis, and dissemination stages of research are considered, along with a brief discussion of the interactive nature of these stages in participatory action research designs that train participants in media production. The added benefits that video affords research participants as well as the unique challenges and limitations of video-based research design are reviewed and evaluated in relation to the social work profession. Social workers are called upon to embrace video data in qualitative research to produce critical counter narratives that combat harmful misrepresentations of disenfranchised populations and thereby advance the profession’s mission and values.
