For all those engaged in psychotherapy practice, regardless of
modality or approach, the goal of this book is to provide a
framework and method for thinking about their work that allows for
critical reflection on their own successes and disappointments, and
on the similarities and differences among their own and other
practitioners' work with different clients. The authors use a novel
"common factors" approach, based on the idea that some form of
development is the outcome of all effective psychotherapy, despite
other differences that may exist. While most existing psychotherapy
research focuses on treatment outcomes, primarily in terms of
symptom reduction, this book offers an alternative research
approach that systematically tracks the psychotherapy process
itself, and describes each case's unique developmental outcome. In
particular, Basseches & Mascolo focus on the questions of what
kinds of therapeutic resources therapists are offering to their
clients and whether and how clients are able to make use of these
resources in the service of their own development. The goal is to
provide a descriptive framework that can be used to appreciate the
highly varied ways in which particular therapists tailor their work
to unique clients' developmental needs, while at the same time
offering a prescription of a more rigorous method for recognizing
and correcting the problem when a particular therapist's way of
working is not serving the client well. Ideally, this type of
process-focused research will complement existing outcome research,
and be more likely than further symptom-reduction studies to result
in the improvement of overall psychotherapy success rates.
