ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate whether there are different antecedents and consequences of different types of therapist questions as this has implications for conducting psychotherapy and for training therapists.

Method:

We examined the antecedents and consequences of questions for 88 clients working with 33 doctoral student therapists in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Questions were coded into open questions for thoughts (OQT), open questions for feelings (OQF), closed questions for facts (CQF), and closed questions other (CQO). The antecedents and consequences were assessed in terms of self-referring pronouns (SRP), self-referring emotion words (SRE), and number of words.

Results:

In terms of antecedents, when clients were using a high number of SRP, therapists were more likely to ask OQT and CQO than CQF. When clients were using a high number of SRE, therapists were more likely to ask OQF than CQF. In terms of consequences, clients spoke less after CQF than the other three skills, used fewer SRP after CQF than after CQO, and used more SRE after OQF than CQF.

Conclusions:

CQO were more similar in terms of antecedents and consequences to OQT and OQF than to CQF.

心理动力学心理治疗中开放式和封闭式问题的前因和后果

摘要

客观的：

调查不同类型的治疗师问题是否有不同的前因和后果，因为这对进行心理治疗和培训治疗师有影响。

方法：

我们检查了与 33 名心理动力学心理治疗博士生治疗师一起工作的 88 名客户的问题的前因和后果。问题被编码为针对思想的开放式问题 (OQT)、针对感受的开放式问题 (OQF)、针对事实的封闭式问题 (CQF) 和其他封闭式问题 (CQO)。根据自指代词 (SRP)、自指情感词 (SRE) 和词数评估前因和后果。

结果：

就前因而言，当客户使用大量 SRP 时，治疗师更有可能询问 OQT 和 CQO 而不是 CQF。当客户使用大量 SRE 时，治疗师更有可能询问 OQF 而不是 CQF。就后果而言，客户在 CQF 之后比其他三种技能少说话，在 CQF 之后比在 CQO 之后使用更少的 SRP，在 OQF 之后比 CQF 使用更多的 SRE。

结论：

CQO 在前因后果方面与 OQT 和 OQF 比与 CQF 更相似。
