Shift in representation and symbolisation of affective experience: A paradoxical outcome in therapyAbstract:

Defining outcome represents a key challenge for psychotherapy theory, research and practice. The present paper uses a case study of a client with anorexia nervosa to contribute to the development of conceptual understanding of the nature of paradoxical outcome. In this case, different sources of outcome data offered different answers to the question of whether or not the therapy had been successful. Qualitative thematic analysis of therapy transcriptions was carried out, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Both the process of change that occurred in this case, and the conflicting outcome indicators, could be explained in terms of a model of affect elaboration. These findings are discussed in terms of the need for caution when interpreting results from outcome measures in psychotherapy research and practice.

情感体验的表征和象征的转变：治疗中的矛盾结果摘要：

定义结果是心理治疗理论、研究和实践的关键挑战。本论文使用了一个患有神经性厌食症的客户的案例研究，以促进对矛盾结果性质的概念性理解的发展。在这种情况下，结果数据的不同来源对治疗是否成功的问题提供了不同的答案。使用解释性现象学分析 (IPA) 对治疗转录进行定性主题分析。在这种情况下发生的变化过程和相互矛盾的结果指标都可以用情感阐述模型来解释。在解释心理治疗研究和实践中的结果测量结果时需要谨慎，讨论了这些发现。
