| Abstract [eng] |
Lately scientists highlight the necessity of better understanding the subjective side of psychotherapeutic process. The aim of this research was to reveal subjectively important psychotherapeutic changes, significant therapeutic factors, and the transformation of anger expression in psychotherapy. Seven female clients, who had accomplished their long-term therapy course and finished it in 1 – 3-year period, participated in the study. Data were collected using the method of psychotherapeutic story. Participants were asked to tell their psychotherapy story, mentioning what was most important in the process of their psychotherapy. The processing of data was based on the principles of thematic analysis (Braun, Clarke, 2006). The analysis of psychotherapeutic stories revealed a dynamic and miscellaneous picture of the respondents’ therapeutic change, encompassing their direct therapeutic experience, its prehistory, and after-therapy processes. Emotional experiences, the development of interpersonal relationship, awareness of the motivational sphere of needs are mentioned as subjectively important therapeutic changes. Psychotherapeutic stories revealed the importance of change of anger expression in subjective psychotherapeutic experience. Respondents relate psychotherapeutic changes to their own active involvement, the quality of therapeutic relationship, and the dynamics of inner processes. |
