ABSTRACT

We present The Couple's Tree of Life (CTOL) as a new collective narrative methodology to strengthen couple relationships and prevent conflicts. The CTOL, based on the tree of life methodology (Ncube & Denborough, Tree of Life, mainstreaming psychosocial care and support: a manual for facilitators, REPSSI, 2007), aims to reinforce the identity and strengths of the couple. We explain the CTOL implementation process and illustrate it step by step with a group of 14 adult heterosexual Caucasian couples who belonged to Protestant churches in Madrid (Spain). As a way to assess its usefulness before applying the CTOL to other groups of couples, we conducted a pre-post evaluation using the Dyadic Adjustment Scale of Spanier(1976). We found an improvement in dyadic adjustment, quality, understanding of, and satisfaction with, the relationship. The results, though not generalizable at this stage, suggest that the CTOL could reinforce the couple's identity while maintaining individual identities. We also discuss the possible applications of couples therapy.


Presentamos El árbol de la vida de la pareja (CTOL, por sus siglas en inglés) como una nueva metodología narrativa colectiva, con el fin de fortalecer las relaciones de pareja y para la prevención de conflictos. El CTOL, basado en la metodología del árbol de la vida (Ncube & Denborough, Tree of Life, mainstreaming psychosocial care and support: a manual for facilitators, REPSSI, 2007), tiene como finalidad reforzar la identidad y las fortalezas de la pareja. Explicamos el proceso de implementación del CTOL y lo ejemplificamos paso a paso con un grupo de 14 parejas heterosexuales caucásicas adultas que pertenecían a iglesias protestantes en Madrid (España). Como forma de evaluar su utilidad antes de aplicar el CTOL a otros grupos de parejas, realizamos una evaluación previa y posterior utilizando la Escala de Ajuste Diádico de Spanier (1976). Hallamos una mejora en el ajuste diádico, en la calidad, en la comprensión de la relación y en la satisfacción con esta. Los resultados, aunque no son generalizables en esta etapa, sugieren que el árbol de la vida de la pareja podría reforzar la identidad de la pareja y a la vez mantener las identidades individuales. También explicamos las posibles aplicaciones a la terapia de pareja.

ABSTRACT

Este artículo presenta un estudio de las características psicométricas de la versión española del Inventario de Alianza Terapéutica formato corto (WAI-S). La muestra la formaron 229 sujetos mayores de edad que recibieron tratamiento psicoterapéutico en un centro privado. La edad media de los participantes fue de 29.2 (SD= 8.84). Todos los participantes contestaron la versión española para pacientes del WAI-S al finalizar la tercera sesión de terapia El análisis factorial de ejes principales indicó que el primer factor está formado especialmente por los reactivos de la subescala tareas y vínculo, mientras que el segundo factor está formado por reactivos de las subescalas de objetivos y tareas. Es posible diferenciar entre las subescalas de la alianza terapeutica a nivel teórico, pero los datos indican que los reactivos de las subescalas de objetivos, tareas y vinculo positivo estan muy asociados. La estimación del coeficiente de fiabilidad basada en la consistencia interna de la versión española del WAIS se demostró buena. Los resultados sugieren que la alianza terapéutica puede ser un constructo más unificado (AU)


This paper presents a study of the psychometric properties of the Spanish short version of the Working Alliance Inventory. Method: 229 subjects received psychotherapy treatment in a private centre. The mean ages were 29.2 years old (SD=8.84). All patients answered the spanish version of the Working Alliance Inventory when they finished the third session of the therapy. The factor analysis indicated that the first factor is based by the items from the Tasks and Bonds subscale, whereas the second factor is based by the items from the Tasks and Goals subscale. It is possible to differentiate between the therapeutic alliance subscales in the theory level, but data show that items from Goals, Tasks and Bond are close related. Reliability coefficient based on the internal consistency of the spanish version of the Working Alliance Inventory (short version) is good. Results suggest that therapeutic alliance may be a more unified construct than is usually thought of (AU)

ABSTRACT

This article presents an intensive study of the outcome and process of the psychotherapeutic treatments conducted at the Blanquerna Psychotherapy Service in Barcelona. It analyzes in detail the relation between outcome (improvement) and process (therapeutic alliance). Specifically, it discusses (a) the therapeutic process in terms of the relation between therapeutic alliance and psychotherapy outcome and (b) the effects of the temporary weakening of the therapeutic alliance and temporary symptomatic relapse on therapeutic outcome and process. Two hundred thirty-nine clients were included in the study, and the assessment instruments were the CORE Outcome Measure and the short version of the Working Alliance Inventory. In addition to good outcome of psychotherapy and maintenance of therapeutic change after treatment, the results also demonstrated the significance of different aspects of the therapeutic alliance as predictors of the therapeutic outcome and process.
