Title: | Personal Projects Analysis as an idiographic approach in psychotherapy: an exploratory study | Authors: | Lima, Margarida Pedroso de Albuquerque, Isabel Martins, Paulo Jorge Gonzalez, António-José |
Keywords: | goals; personal projects; psychotherapy; idiographic approach | Issue Date: | 8-May-2023 | Publisher: | Page Press Publications | Serial title, monograph or event: | Research in Psychotherapy: Psychopathology, Process and Outcome | Volume: | 26 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | Client feedback research is a new but encouraging area that recognizes the importance of engaging patients in offered treatments and the relevance of the relationship between therapist and client. This study aimed to explore clients' experiences of goal-oriented work using Personal Projects Analysis (PPA). PPA was applied to 5 participants of a psychodrama group after their consent and in agreement with the ethics and deontology research university committee. Their progress was evaluated with Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation Outcome Measure (CORE-OM; 4 moments) and subjective well-being measures. Findings show how personal projects may be informative about clients' difficulties and change processes. All outcomes on CORE-OM went below clinical cut-off points, and all these changes are reliable and clinically significant. PPA offers a consistent way to implement the goals approach in a psychotherapeutic context successfully. Nevertheless, some adjustments need to be implemented in the goal-oriented work using PPA. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/114427 | ISSN: | 2239-8031 2499-7552 |
