How do clients rate their improvement after psychotherapy? Study shows the benefits and pitfalls of retrospective questionnaires

Current research in the field of psychotherapy often focuses on measuring the changes that clients experience during therapy. The most common methods used to do this are so-called indirect (pre-post) measures, which compare client outcomes obtained before and after therapy. However, this approach can be problematic, for example if initial measurements are not available. A new study involving members of INPSY/Center for Psychotherapy Research explores the suitability of an alternative approach by psychometrically validating the Czech version of the Questionnaire of Personal Change (Q-PC), which directly retrospectively captures client-perceived changes after psychotherapy.

Freedom in online learning: Did autonomy support the well-being of gifted adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic?

The COVID-19 pandemic brought sweeping changes to the lives of adolescents, including the introduction of online learning. Mandatory online learning is often associated in research with a number of negative effects, such as decreased motivation or loss of interest in school. Recently, however, research has also emerged exploring the potential positive aspects of this situation, particularly for specific groups of students. These studies point to the possibility that students with specific learning needs and gifted students could benefit from the greater autonomy that online learning could afford them. However, research is lacking for children in early adolescence. Therefore, our research team from INPSY took the initiative to focus on the school well-being of gifted students during this developmental period.

What contributes to progress in psychotherapy? New self-discoveries and distancing from one's own thoughts play a role

In psychotherapy, client responses to individual therapy sessions have long been considered a key factor in determining the success of therapy. These reactions range from feelings of relief and discovery of new perspectives on self or relationships to negative experiences such as emotional overload or feelings of failure. This study, which also involved researchers from INPSY/Center for Psychotherapy Research, used a dynamic network model to explore how different client responses to therapy sessions relate to each other and how they influence each other over time.
