Psykoterapeutin henkilökohtaisten ominaisuuksien merkitys psykoterapiassa ja niiden vaikutus tuloksellisuuteen identiteettihaastattelun perusteella

The purpose of my study was to use the Psychotherapist Identity Interview (PII) method, developed for this study and based on Erik H. Erikson's and Heinz Kohut's theories, to examine the significance of the personal characteristics of psychotherapists for psychotherapy, and their effect on treatment results. The study described the theoretical background and development of the interview method and the validation of the instrument. The study involved 68 contract therapists from the Helsinki Psychotherapy Study and 333 patients, of whom 65 therapists and 308 patients were included in the as-sessment of benefit from therapy. Videotaped, semistructured therapist interviews were assessed using 1…
Subjectivity in a therapeutic process as a predictor of psychotherapeutic success
2014
Reflections on the uniquely human dimensions of behavior over the last few decades have become a meeting space connecting different sciences. The holistic health model emphasizes the subjectivity of man. Humans are open and active, and remain in relationships with others; they relate to the world they live in and seek meaning. Subjectivity in the psychological perspective can be described in three ways: subjectivity as identity, individuality, specific experience of self; subjectivity as the ability to initiate, regulate, direct, and realize goal-oriented and autonomous activity; subjectivity as the application of one’s own system of values. Subjectivity or causality (core features agency) …
Mafia e psicoterapia
2012
Il lavoro prende le mosse dal lavoro di Girolamo Lo Verso “La mafia in psicoterapia”, un volume che racchiudere quasi vent’anni di studi sulla psicologia del fenomeno mafioso e consente al lettore di far luce su un ambito poco conosciuto, sia a livello nazionale che internazionale, quale quello relativo alla relazione terapeutica con pazienti appartenenti a famiglie mafiose, e di comprendere le gravi ricadute psichiche che la mafia provoca sia nei suoi appartenenti, sia in coloro che, a vario titolo, entrano in contatto con essa (cittadini, vittime, comunità…). Di particolare rilievo, oltre alla presentazione delle ricerche portate avanti negli anni, risulta essere l’esposizione di numerosi…
Mechanizm neuroplastyczności i jego znaczenie dla psychoterapii oraz oceny jej skuteczności
2016
The paper introduces the mechanism of neuroplasticity, specifically the ability of the brain to develop new neurons (neurogenesis) and new connections between nerve cells (synaptogenesis) and to develop glial cells. The author presents the evidence proving the existence of neuroplasticity by giving examples of people with serious brain damage who function normally and, above all, of people living with almost no brain or with one hemisphere, or with post-stroke defects. However, the main purpose of this paper is to present the current state of knowledge of the importance of the brain plasticity for the course of psychotherapy, as well as for assessing its effectiveness. The author gives many…
Challenges and added value of measuring embodied variables in psychotherapy
2022
Research on embodied aspects of clinical encounters is growing, but discussion on the premises of including embodied variables in empirical research is scarce. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that embodied aspects of psychotherapy interaction are vital in developing a therapeutic alliance, and these should be considered to better understand the change process in psychotherapy. However, the field is still debating which methods should be used and which features of the embodied aspects are relevant in the clinical context. The field lacks methodological consistency as well as a theoretical model. In the Relational Mind research project, we have studied the embodied aspects of interaction…
Typy i metody psychoterapii osób z zaburzeniami osobowości
2020
Celem niniejszego rozdziału jest omówienie charakterystycznych cech poszczególnych typów zaburzeń osobowości oraz określenie możliwości oddziaływań terapeutycznych w zależności od przyjętego nurtu psychoterapeutycznego.

The Psychiatrist's Role in Implementing Open Dialogue Model of Care
2019
The Open Dialogue approach is a family‐oriented early intervention model for mental health problems developed in the health district of Western Lapland, Finland. Since the 1990s the psychiatric service system in Western Lapland Health Care District has been organised according to Open Dialogue principles and applied to the treatment of any mental health concerns. The Open Dialogue approach considers the client and their family as active participants rather than as objects of treatment in its planning and implementation with a psychotherapeutic focus. In daily work, the responsibility for the treatment process is shared with the case‐specific team. The model of care requires a dialogical ori…
Effects of training on bone metabolism in young athletes
2021
Purpose. This study investigated the effects of two types of training on the bone formation marker of osteocalcin and the bone resorption marker of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoenzyme 5b (TRAP5b) in young track and field boys and girls. Methods. The 14-year-old group (10 boys, 10 girls) performed first time an intensive and supervised 8-week plyometric training. In the 17-year-old group (13 athletic boys, 6 control boys, 12 athletic girls, 6 control girls), the normal many-sided track and field training lasted 6 months. Results. Significant increases were noticed in osteocalcin (p < 0.01) both in younger boys and girls. The 20-m sprint performance improved in girls (p < 0.01) and …
The relationship between skin conductance and eye contact of spouses in couple therapy
2017
Katsekontaktin ja ihon sähkönjohtavuuden välistä yhteyttä on tutkittu aiemminkin, mutta tutkimusta ei ole tehty monitoimijaisessa terapiatilanteessa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tarkastella ihon sähkönjohtavuuden ja katsekontaktin välistä yhteyttä pariterapiassa pariskunnan välisen synkronian kautta, ja lisäksi selvittää, kuinka ihon sähkönjohtavuus muuttuu katsekontaktin eri hetkinä: ennen kuin katsekontakti alkaa, sen alkamishetkellä, ja alkamishetken jälkeen. Oletuksena oli, että ihon sähkönjohtavuuden vasteet nousevat katsekontaktin alkuhetkellä. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin, onko miehillä ja naisilla eroa ihon sähkönjohtavuuden vasteissa. Tutkimuksen otos koostui 11 pariskunnasta, joi…
Exergaming in the treatment of gait, balance, and quality of life in Parkinson's disease: Overview of systematic reviews
2023
Introduction: Postural instability and gait impairments are common in people with PD, both of which have a negative effect on their quality of life. Systematic reviews have demonstrated benefits of using exergaming in enhancing these outcomes. However, there is no consensus over whether exergaming therapy is better than conventional physical therapy for enhancing gait, balance, and quality of life. Objectives: The aim of this overview is to systematically synthesize and evaluate the available evidence found in published systematic reviews and meta-analyses, on the effects of exergaming therapy on balance, gait, and quality of life, compared to conventional physical therapy or no interventio…
