Item type:Publication, Personal experience of Latin American therapists on their clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022-01-01)The health conditions generated by the COVID-19 pandemic severely restricted in-person therapy, and as a result online therapy was put into practice. The objective of this study was to describe and analyse, from the perspective of the therapist, how the pandemic has influenced their experience and clinical practice. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 Latin American therapists who had performed online therapy during the pandemic. The information was analysed following the coding procedures of the Grounded Theory. Three core categories were constructed from the analysis: (a) impact on the therapist: spiral of uncertainty, oppression and adaptive astonishment; (b) incorporation of technologies into clinical practice: ‘I never thought they could help’; and (c) transformation of the practice of psychotherapy: ‘water always finds its way’. The model incorporates and relates therapists’ perceptions of their professional work, patients’ attitudes towards this new psychotherapy method, perception of the therapeutic relationship and process, and the facilitators and obstacles experienced in online therapy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Systematic Case Study in Psychodynamic Focal Psychotherapy with Abused Women: A Context-Sensitive Approach to Understanding Psychological Change(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025-01-01)This chapter aims to critically evaluate the systematic single-case design on two levels. First, as a tool for obtaining an in-depth and qualitative understanding of the change processes in women experiencing intimate partner violence, who underwent brief psychodynamic psychotherapy within a State institutional context. Second, to examine the challenges this population and working framework pose to the implementation of the time-limited psychotherapy technique. To achieve this, a review of the methodological design is presented, highlighting its relevance within the Practice-Oriented Research paradigm. The chapter further explores the conceptual elements that contextualize the understanding and intervention with vulnerable populations, particularly in cases of intimate partner violence. Finally, the chapter discusses the results of various studies using the single-case design. These studies have focused on understanding change by analyzing significant events in the therapeutic process, as well as observing the particularities and variations in the relational configurations of the clients throughout the intervention. In this regard, it aims to establish a dialogue between research and clinical practice with the goal of contributing to the implementation of intervention frameworks and clinical competencies that are relevant and sensitive to the needs of this vulnerable population.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The “Consorcio Latinoamericano de Investigación en Psicoterapia” (CLIP). A Call for Collaborative Research and Practice(2026-07-01)Background: Over the past three decades, psychotherapy practice in Latin America has advanced significantly, driven by government reforms and the increasing role of clinical psychology. However, challenges like inconsistent mental health policy implementation and resource disparities persist. Qualitative and micro-process research have helped link theory and practice, yet large-scale outcome assessments remain limited. Objective: This article explores the potential for implementing routine outcome monitoring in Latin America, considering the region's distinctive mental health services, research culture, and practices regarding data usage. It introduces the Latin American Psychotherapy Research Consortium (CLIP), an initiative to promote a unified approach for conducting research using routine outcome monitoring across the region. Its core mission is to facilitate collaboration, promote evidence-based practices in psychotherapy, and create a standardized framework for routine clinical data collection. Conclusion: More than a collaborative platform, CLIP embodies a collective vision for more equitable and effective mental health systems in Latin America. Psychotherapists, researchers, and mental health service providers are encouraged to engage in this initiative, fostering an environment where research and practice come together to improve therapeutic outcomes and inform policy decisions.
