Abstract

WAIZMANN, Vanina; JURKOWSKI, Ludmila  and  ROUSSOS, Andrés J.. Description of the interventions chosen by psychoanalytic and cognitive psychotherapists. Anu. investig. [online]. 2007, vol.14, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1686.

The purpose of the present work was to study psychoanalytical and cognitive intervention modalities. We tried to see the type of interventions they use in terms of specific and non-specific interventions, the frequency with which they use each intervention, and the timing of their interventions. A group of psychotherapists from both theoretical frames was given a questionnaire directed to learning the kind of interventions they use in the treatments they offer and the way they apply them. The questionnaire was based on the intervention's scheme developed by Roussos, Etchebarne and Waizmann (2005). Based on this questionnaire, interventions used by the group of 40 psychotherapists were studied. In the results we can see that therapists use specific interventions from the other theoretical framework, but stay faithful to their own theoretical frame of reference.
