ABSTRACT

The study explores the therapeutic factors in two types of group interventions–-film therapy (n = 69) and affective support therapy (n = 48) for Arab adolescents (ages 13–14) in Israel. Film therapy is a relatively new method for groups, aimed at enhancing adolescents’ engagement in the process of group counseling. Six-hundred students from 11 schools were screened for the level of parent–adolescent conflict, based on a self-report measure. The 117 students who met the cutoff point constituted our sample. They were randomly divided into 12 small groups (6 in each type of intervention). A previous study reported the outcomes of these two interventions, showing equal progress in both groups (compared to control). The current study explores process variables, specifically therapeutic factors, in an attempt to enhance our understanding of those outcomes. Results indicated common therapeutic factors across both types of intervention. The factors of relationship–climate and other- versus self-focus were ranked the highest and, contrary to expectations, were significantly higher in affective support therapy than in film therapy.

 抽象的

该研究探讨了以色列阿拉伯青少年（13-14 岁）两种团体干预的治疗因素——电影疗法（ n = 69）和情感支持疗法（ n = 48）。电影疗法是一种相对较新的团体方法，旨在增强青少年对团体咨询过程的参与。根据自我报告措施，对来自 11 所学校的 600 名学生进行了父母与青少年冲突程度的筛查。达到截止点的 117 名学生构成了我们的样本。他们被随机分为 12 个小组（每种干预类型 6 个小组）。之前的一项研究报告了这两种干预措施的结果，显示两组的进展相同（与对照组相比）。当前的研究探讨了过程变量，特别是治疗因素，试图增强我们对这些结果的理解。结果表明两种干预措施的共同治疗因素。关系——气候和他人——与自我关注的因素排名最高，并且与预期相反，情感支持疗法中的因素显着高于电影疗法。
