| Description | Objective: The aim of the study is to identify and explore significant in-session events from both a client's and a therapist's perspectives and to connect them to the process of therapeutic change. Method: In a single case study format, rich data from an individual therapy with a depressive client will be collected and then analyzed, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Interpersonal Process Recall Interview and Helpful Aspects of Therapy form will be used to identify significant events, a set of quantitative instruments will be used to track client change. Results: Convergences, as well as divergences in the client's and therapist's perspectives on significant events will be described. The identified events will then be connected to the process of change. Conclusions: A proposal will be made for a systematic multiple-case study research program addressing the relationship between significant events and the process of change. |
