THE TALKING CURE 24: THE MAGIC OF ART THERAPY, SOMATIC HEALING, & IFS (with Carolina Cordovez)

CITATION: Wampold, B. & Flückiger, C. (2023). The alliance in #mentalhealth care: conceptualization, evidence & clinical applications. World Psychiatry, 22(1), 25–41. DOI:10.1002/wps.21035.

ABSTRACT:  The concept of alliance reflects the collaborative relationship between clinicians & patients, defined as consisting of 3 elements: (a) the agreement on the #treatment goals, (b) the agreement on a task or series of tasks, and (c) the development of a bond. Although much of the theory & research on the alliance comes from the domain of psychotherapy, the concept is applicable to any practice involving a person seeking help & a socially sanctioned healer. Extensive research evidence suggests that the #alliance is a robust predictor of the outcomes of various forms of psychotherapy, even when prior symptom improvement & other factors are considered. Both clinicians & patients bring different capacities to form an alliance in the #therapy situation. Factors concerning the patient include, among others: (a) the diagnosis, (b) attachment style, (c) motivation, and (d) needs for affiliation. However, the benefits of the alliance have been found to be mostly due to therapists' contributions, in particular facilitative interpersonal skills including: (a) verbal fluency, (b) communication of hope & positive expectations, (c) persuasiveness, (d) emotional expression, (e) warmth, acceptance & understanding, (f) empathy, and (g) alliance rupture-repair responsiveness. Placebo studies have allowed researchers to experimentally manipulate aspects of the relationship between a therapist & patient in non-psychotherapy contexts. In these settings, 2 components of the #relationship have emerged: (a) an emotional one (involving being cared for & understood by the clinician) and (b) a cognitive one (including the belief in the competence of the therapist to administer an effective treatment). Here we propose a model that describes 3 pathways through which the alliance creates benefits: (a) CARE, (b) EXPECTANCY, and (c) SPECIFIC. Although research & clinical attention have mostly focused on the alliance between clinicians & patients in face-to-face interactions, there is preliminary evidence concerning the alliance between patients & other clinic staff, systems of care, or the program in internet-mediated services. These new research areas clearly require further development. 🤔

𝘼𝘽𝙎𝙏𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏: The author considers the role of #shame & the response to it, which she describes as self-protective avoidance of relationship, in the development of a schizoid process. She proposes that the intention & action of suicide may in some cases be the ultimate schizoid #withdrawal. She describes her #therapy work over 10 years with a young woman who required a gentle, attuned & #relational process to help her #heal a relational split.

The maturational interpretation fosters ego integration not by unveiling repressed memories but by responding empathically to unconscious communication, thereby facilitating psychological #growth & strengthening the patient’s capacity for relatedness. 🤔
