Copyright policy )Therapist technique and patient defensive functioning in ultra‐brief psychodynamic psychotherapy: a lag sequential analysis
AbstractThis study examined the association between therapist interventions, including interpretations, and patient defensive functioning. The first session of 32 (n = 32) Brief Psychodynamic Interventions were rated for therapist interventions and patient defensive functioning. Lag sequential analysis was used to determine if (a) there are organized sequences of therapist interventions; (b) there are predictable sequences in the patients' level of defensive functioning; (c) there are sequences of therapist interventions leading to change in the patients' defensive functioning; and (d) there are levels of patient defensive functioning leading to organized therapist response. Results suggested that there are organized sequences in the therapists' interventions and that patient in‐session defensive functioning is relatively stable. However, no chain of therapist interventions led to a predictable response in the patients' defensive functioning or vice versa. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
