当人们完成心理治疗时,他们随身携带着经历的故事。这种回顾性重建服务于几个心理学目的,包括有助于叙事身份和影响终止后的治疗收益的维持。基于先前对治疗叙述的定性调查(Adler McAdams,2007 a),104名前客户的新样本在治疗结束后写下了他们的心理治疗。定量分析表明,高主观幸福感的参与者的回顾性叙述集中在主角的机构在一个离散的问题的斗争。此外,自我发展程度高的参与者的叙述描述了一个连贯的成长故事。这些发现表明,客户构建的关于心理治疗的故事可靠地根据他们的心理健康而变化。
When people complete psychotherapy, they carry the story of the experience with them. This retrospective reconstruction serves several psychological purposes, including contributing to narrative identity and influencing the maintenance of therapeutic gains after termination. Based on a prior qualitative investigation of therapy narratives (Adler McAdams, 2007a), a new sample of 104 former clients wrote about their psychotherapy after treatment end. Quantitative analyses indicated that the retrospective narratives of participants high in subjective well-being focused on the protagonist's agency in struggling with a discrete problem. In addition, the narratives of participants high in ego development described a coherent story of growth. These findings suggest that the stories clients construct about psychotherapy reliably vary depending on their psychological health.
