Background summary
Intervening at the right time in the right way is a major concern for most
therapists. Much less so is the concern for good common-factor-interventions.
Maybe there is a tacid assumption that psychotherapist are empathic, that they
do not prejudice, are not idle or revengeful, that they are good human beings
by nature. Anyway, therapist focus on change and how to attain change.
However, this striving for change has but little explanatory counterpart in
the facts: meta-analyses by Michael Lambert c.a. show that techniques of change
only account for some 15% of the success of psychotherapie, the effect of
common factors being twice as big, some 30% of the benefits of psychotherapy.
So we have the paradoxical situation that different theories of change are much
more effective in what they share than in what they differ.
The question that is adressed in this study is: what are the effects on
clients, when we adminiser them a therapy in which interventions of change are
reduced to a minimum while on the other hand interventions of common factors
are enhanced.
In my study of interventions of common factors I have come to replace the
well-known dichotomy between common factors and techniques of change by a
differentiation between interventions of change on one hand and permissive
interventions at the other.
Study objective
The study is an explorative study of the effects that might occur in
conversations between a client and a therapist, the latter intervening as
permisive as possible. Its goal is to study the effects in the client of
permissive intyerventions by the therapist. There is the possibility that this
studie is to be followed bij a RCT and the testing of hypotheses.
Study design
The study is explorative.
Intervention
There are six conversations between a therapist and a client.
Study burden and risks
none.
