Zusammenfassung: | The common factors paradigm in couple and family therapy has gained popularity over the past several decades, leading many therapists to refer to themselves as common factors family therapists. Despite this, no consensus exists on what it means to be a common factors family therapist, or if such a designation even makes sense given that the common factors paradigm is not a model. Synthesizing the existing common factors literature, a case is made for the designation “common factors informed family therapist,” and the following six core principles are outlined that characterize this designation: (1) sees overlap among theories; (2) passionate about theory, not a theory; (3) client centered; (4) monitors hope and the therapeutic alliance; (5) views clients as people rather than objects; and (6) prioritizes healing over therapy. Each of the concepts is discussed in depth, and clinical implications are provided.
El paradigma de factores comunes en la terapia de parejas y familiar ha cobrado popularidad en las últimas décadas, haciendo que muchos terapeutas se refieran a sí mismos como terapeutas de factores comunes. A pesar de esto, no hay un consenso acerca de qué significa ser un terapeuta de factores comunes, o si dicha designación realmente tiene sentido, dado que el paradigma de factores comunes no es un modelo. A base de una síntesis de la literatura de factores comunes existente, se aboga por la designación “terapeuta familiar informado por factores comunes”, y se esbozan seis principios fundamentales que caracterizan esta designación; 1) ve que las teorías se entrecruzan; 2) apasionado por lo teórico, no por una teoría; 3) centrado en los clientes; 4) está pendiente de la esperanza y la alianza terapéutica; 5) ve a los clientes como personas en vez de objetos; y 6) se preocupa más por la sanación que por la terapia. Se discute cada concepto a profundidad y se proporcionan las implicaciones clínicas.
在过去的几十年间,共有因素理论范式在伴侣治疗和家庭治疗领域都颇受欢迎而得到普及,以至于很多治疗师都声称他们自己为共有因素治疗师。尽管如此,成为一名共有因素治疗师到底意味着什么并无统一定论。还有,这种说法是否真的合理也还没有达成共识,因为共有因素理论范式并非一种模式。本文对现有的涉及到共有因素的相关文献进行了综合分析,专门调查了”熟谙共有因素理论治疗师”这个说法,拟出了描绘这种称呼特性的六个核心原则:1) 能分辨出不同理论类似重合的地方; 2) 对理论很有激情,而不是对某一特定的理论; 3) 以来访者为中心; 4) 对期望和医患联盟关系进行管理; 5) 尊重来访者把他们当人而不是当物对待; 还有 6) 更关心患者的康复过程而不是对其进行治疗处置。以上每一个概念都给予了深入探讨,文中也提供了临床实践方面的建议。 |
