ABSTRACT

Objective

Cognitive behavioural case formulations (CBCFs) have been widely used in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). However, sparse research has examined how clients experience the shared formulation process. The current study aimed explored the role of CBCFs in an outpatient student-staffed community clinic.

Method

A 30 adult participants aged 18 - 67 (M = 37.50, SD = 11.20), with a range of mental health concerns, completed a CBCF session as a part of routine therapy, with their treating provisional psychologist. Immediately following the session, participants completed a questionnaire that included five items, 5-point Likert scale questionnaire measuring clients’ experience of the collaborative CBCF, and two open questions captured further information.

Results

High scores across all questions on the Likert scale, and a total of nine themes was identified from the qualitative data. Six themes related to a broadly positive emotional response, two themes had a broadly negative emotional response, and one theme was a neutral emotional response.

Conclusions

The visual process of CBCF is a positive experience for clients that may help them to better understand their difficulties, elicit positive emotions, and feel understood by their treating therapist. Limitations of the current study and recommendations for future research are discussed.

临床心理学项目中协作认知行为案例公式的评估：客户视角

摘要

客观的

认知行为案例公式（CBCF）已广泛用于认知行为疗法（CBT）。然而，很少有人研究客户如何体验共享的制定过程。目前的研究旨在探讨 CBCF 在门诊学生社区诊所中的作用。

方法

30 名 18 至 67 岁的成年参与者（M = 37.50，SD  = 11.20）有一系列心理健康问题，他们完成了 CBCF 会议作为常规治疗的一部分，由他们的临时心理学家治疗。会议结束后，参与者立即完成了一份问卷，其中包括五个项目、5 点李克特量表问卷，用于衡量客户对合作 CBCF 的体验，以及两个开放性问题收集了更多信息。

结果

李克特量表上所有问题的高分，从定性数据中确定了总共九个主题。六个主题与广泛的积极情绪反应有关，两个主题具有广泛的消极情绪反应，一个主题是中性情绪反应。

结论

CBCF 的视觉过程对客户来说是一种积极的体验，可以帮助他们更好地理解他们的困难，引发积极的情绪，并感受到他们的治疗师的理解。讨论了当前研究的局限性和对未来研究的建议。
