KRAUSE, MARIANE et al. GENERIC INDICATORS OF CHANGE IN THE PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC PROCESS. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2006, vol.38, n.2, pp.299-325. ISSN 0120-0534.

In-session change episodes were studied in four psychotherapeutic processes: a brief psychodynamic, psychodynamic-cognitive, a family social-constructionist, and a group integrative therapy. A qualitative confirmatory methodology was applied to assess observed and video-recorded sessions. The analysis instrument was a hierarchical list of generic qualitative indicators, common to different psychotherapeutic modalities, whose presence and content was determined through an intersubjective consent of the research group, therapists of different orientations. Results show that it is possible to identify change moments by observation; the contents of change, evident through the indicators, are generic; and, the change indicators identify the moment of evolution of the therapeutic process and the antiquity of the consultants, having a predictive value that is also of practical relevante.
