The practice of a profession takes place in the context of the assignment of a set of legal competencies. Since its recognition as a regulated profession, clinical psychology has undergone a process of evolution and consolidation. The aim of this work was to review the legal competencies of clinical psychology in Spain. A non-systematic narrative review of legislation, jurisprudence and bibliography has been carried out. The results were grouped into: 1) Assessment, diagnosis and psychological treatment; 2) Issuance of reports; 3) Referral to services/programs, indication of admission and discharge, and request for testing; 4) University teaching; and 5) Legal responsibilities. Clinical psychologists are recognized as having legal capacity for a wide range of clinical, management, teaching and research activities. Some activities are limited in practice and others have no established legal framework for their performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychological interventions have shown effectiveness for the treatment of different psychological problems. Now, we need to know what processes make these results possible. The observational analysis of the verbal interaction between therapist and client has been used to analyze the learning processes that underlie the client’s behavioral change. To our knowledge, there is no coding system for therapeutic interaction based on functional descriptions that would allow a common understanding across different behavior therapies. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to develop such functional description-based coding system for clinical psychologists’ verbal behavior in clinical settings. Also, we have analyzed 66 clinical sessions belonging to 23 different cases using this coding system, the results have been compared with previous studies. The main result of this study is a system consisting of 5 functional categories with good reliability indices and methodological properties. The discriminant and cluster analysis have yielded similar results to those of previous studies. Finally, we discuss about conceptual and methodological advances of this functional-based coding system, we list the main limitations, and we propose further studies in this line of research.

Un método peligroso (2011) es un drama histórico dirigido por David Cronenberg sobre la relación entre algunos de los primeros proponentes del psicoanálisis: Carl G. Jung, Sigmund Freud y Sabina Spielrein. Este artículo trata la obra como un estudio de personajes, basado en varios elementos de la psicología analítica fundada por Jung. Se interpreta la narrativa del filme como parte del proceso de «individuación» sobre el que escribió, en los que el individuo debe contender con arquetipos como «la persona», «la sombra», «el ánima» o «el padre». Un método peligroso sirve como una dramatización de la crisis personal de Jung entre 1904 y 1913, y cómo resultó crucial para sus teorías posteriores.

Pesquisas sobre a eficácia das psicoterapias têm apontado para a importância da construção colaborativa de instrumentos de formulação de caso clínico em diferentes abordagens. Assim, esse artigo objetivou apresentar um modelo de formulação de casos clínicos, adaptado de Tracy Eells, para as psicoterapias existenciais. O instrumento adaptado a partir de uma experiência de supervisão com psicoterapeutas de uma Escola de formação continuada em psicologia fenomenológico-existencial. Assim, esse estudo baseou-se em um método descritivo-exploratório, no qual buscou-se apresentar os elementos presentes na adaptação do modelo de formulação de caso clínico. Descrevese como foram articulados os seus elementos a partir do diálogo entre as pesquisas em psicoterapia e as psicoterapias existenciais. Os resultados indicam que o modelo de formulação de caso clínico pode contribuir de maneira significativa para construção de hipóteses compreensivas e o planejamento do processo psicoterápico de acordo com a singularidade dos pacientes e auxiliar nas pesquisas de eficácia nas abordagens das psicoterapias existenciais. Entretanto, ainda que o instrumento esteja sendo utilizado por profissionais da área, há algumas lacunas que indicam a necessidade de apresentá-lo para a comunidade científica para seu aprimoramento.

El presente trabajo tuvo un doble objetivo: por un lado, señalar los errores técnicos y lógicos acaecidos al aplicar el conocimiento científico directamente a la resolución de problemas sociales. Por el otro, realizar un ejercicio de análisis conceptual y funcional de la técnica de control de estímulos, sustituyendo sus explicaciones teóricas mediante el programa de investigación interconductual ribesiano adecuando su posible uso dentro del análisis contingencial. Para cumplir con lo anterior, se presenta la problematización del ejercicio de la psicología aplicada y su abordaje desde el análisis contingencial. Posteriormente, se realiza una descripción general de la tecnología, componentes y características principales. Finalmente, se presenta el análisis de la técnica de control de estímulos. Tras tal análisis teórico-conceptual se concluyó la pertinencia de fomentar este tipo de ejercicios para explicitar la relevancia del vínculo estrecho entre investigación básica y aplicada al desempeñar funciones profesionales como psicólogo en el ámbito clínico.

The evaluation of healthcare quality is a mandatory requirement for improving the services offered. However, there are few valid and standardized measures, especially in the field of clinical psychology care. The objective of this study is to develop and validate a quality-of-care measurement index from the perspective of clinical psychology specialists that allows for agile and easy interpretation of evaluation results. In this study, 83 clinical psychology specialists from the Andalusian Health Service participated. Through psychometric analysis, an index composed of four essential indicators was obtained, with excellent values of internal consistency and adequate fit indices for a unidimensional model. The resulting index is a useful, reliable, valid, and sensitive tool for monitoring the quality of clinical psychology interventions and evaluating improvement programs based on empirical evidence.

On the occasion of the death of Robert R. Holt (1917-2024), the Italian edition of the “personal introduction” to his book Freud Reappraised. A Fresh Look at Psychoanalytic Theory (New York: Guilford, 1989) is reprinted. In this introduction, Holt retraces the main aspects of his life as a scholar and theoretical researcher. Holt’s teachers and mentors included, among others, Gordon Allport, Henry A. Murray, and David Rapaport, and we can say that he has been an important witness of the history of psychology and psychoanalysis of the 20th century in North America. Holt was member of the editorial board of the journal Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane (“Psychotherapy and the Human Sciences”), in which he published various contributions, and came several times to hold seminars in Italy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Con el objetivo de describir las percepciones sobre las barreras en el servicio de telepsicología que tienen las personas mayores usuarios de consultorios psicológicos comunitarios en Colombia, se realizó un estudio cualitativo por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas telefónicas a 12 personas mayores pacientes de dos consultorios psicológicos gratuitos ubicados en el sur del Área Metropolitana de Medellín, Colombia. Los resultados indicaron que los participantes asociaban la telepsicología solamente con las llamadas telefónicas, tenían barreras de acceso relacionadas con la dificultad del manejo de las aplicaciones de videollamada y dependencia de otros para poder acceder al servicio, y percibían desventajas en cuanto a la sensación de poca empatía por parte del psicólogo, la falta de privacidad, el escaso contacto físico y visual y el menor tiempo de consulta en comparación con la presencialidad. Respecto a las ventajas se encontró que esta modalidad no les generó costos adicionales para acceder al servicio, les evitaba el desplazamiento y se consideraba que permitía un tratamiento eficaz. Se concluye que esta modalidad de atención es un desafío para el sistema sanitario y a la vez facilita el acceso a población con dificultades para su desplazamiento, pero se requiere que los prestadores del servicio de salud y la academia tengan disposición para adecuar las herramientas tecnológicas a los diferentes grupos poblacionales.

Research on the effectiveness of psychotherapies has pointed to the importance of the collaborative construction of clinical case formulation instruments in different approaches. Thus, this article aimed to present a clinical case formulation model, adapted from Tracy Eells, for existential psychotherapies. The instrument was adapted from a supervision experience with psychotherapists from a School of continuing training in phenomenological-existential psychology. Thus, this study utilized a descriptiveexploratory method, in which we sought to present the elements present in adapting the clinical case formulation model. It describes how its elements were articulated based on the dialogue between psychotherapy research and existential psychotherapies. The results indicate that the clinical case formulation model can be used and can contribute significantly to the construction of comprehensive hypotheses and the planning of the psychotherapeutic process according to the uniqueness of the patients and assist in research into the effectiveness of existential psychotherapeutic approaches. However, even though professionals in the field use the instrument, some gaps indicate the need to present it to the scientific community for improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to investigate how psychotherapists who follow the psychoanalytic theoretical orientation experience individual online sessions. Twelve professionals participated: seven women and five men, aged between 27 and 68 years old, with an average clinical experience of 17.3 years, based in the Southeastern region of Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were employed to assess their experiences. The data collected between October 2021 and June 2022 were analyzed using Bardin's (2008) method and interpreted considering psychoanalytic literature. The findings encompassed experiences before Resolution 04/2020 of the Brazilian Federal Council of Psychology, preconceptions, preparations, resources utilized, subjective impacts, and future perspectives regarding this mode of practice. The study indicated that the participants navigated and continued to navigate new territories, confirming that remote therapy is an important resource that will persist even after the pandemic subsides.

Introduction: Mindfulness training has demonstrated positive effects on psychological health and is being used in a variety of clinical and therapeutic settings. Materials and Method: This quasi-experimental study examined the impact of Mindfulness practice on self-compassion, empathy, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and Mindfulness awareness of undergraduate psychology students. Results: The results showed a significant increase in self-compassion and Mindfulness awareness, as well as a decrease in stress, depression and anxiety after the intervention. Positive correlations were found between Self-Compassion, Self-Esteem, empathy and Mindfulness awareness, and negative correlations with stress, anxiety and depression. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of self-compassion and supports the incorporation of Mindfulness programmes in professional training for the development of essential therapeutic skills, such as self-esteem, empathy and Mindfulness awareness.

In this theoretical study, we return to Nietzsche's considerations on the dynamics of forgetfulness in the context of the exercise of psychological clinic. Unlike other conceptions in Psychology, such as neuropsychological and cognitive - behavioral ones, which adopt forgetfulness as a symptom of mental illness, of alteration in cognitive faculties or antagonistic dyad of remembrance; forgetfulness in Nietzsche is also thought of as an experience that allows a rearticulation with life: forgetting in order to resume. Through a review of the literature of Nietzsche's works, which address the theme of forgetfulness, we will make an analysis to give visibility to the way the philosopher understands forgetfulness in the human experience. Through the path of thought on forgetting announced by the philosopher, a possibility of clinical action based on phenomenology and the philosophy of existence appears, in which it is allowed to forget so that one can then return to life free of debts and consequent resentments.

El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la producción científica en psicología clínica de los investigadores que trabajan en instituciones españolas desde una perspectiva de género. Se obtuvieron todos los trabajos publicados en la Web of Science desde la subcategoría “psychology clinical”, entre los años 1971 y 2020. Estas cinco décadas de estudio muestran un total de 3784 trabajos. Se observan diferencias en la publicación de trabajos en psicología clínica en el tiempo estudiado. De una exigua representación femenina inicial a una mayoría de mujeres en la actualidad. Los cambios en la producción también son notorios, pasando de un índice de colaboración de 1.60 autores por trabajo en los años iniciales a un índice de colaboración de 4.77 en el año 2020. No obstante, se hace necesario seguir ahondando en políticas públicas y científicas que permitan llegar a un verdadero equilibrio entre géneros.

A sociometria tem como propósito a investigação/mensuração das relações interpessoais. Uma das técnicas sociométricas para uso na prática individual é o átomo social, que é caracterizado como o conjunto das relações emocionalmente significativas que o indivíduo estabelece e desenvolve. O objetivo do presente artigo é investigar o uso do átomo social para o procedimento de psicodiagnóstico. Fez-se uso de uma abordagem qualitativa, utilizando como método o estudo de caso. A análise do caso clínico serviu para entender como o átomo pode auxiliar na construção de uma avaliação psicológica mais integral, possibilitando a investigação da dinâmica psíquica do indivíduo e da sua demanda de forma mais lúdica e participativa. Também foi interessante constatar que as informações trazidas pelo átomo confirmaram os achados das outras técnicas empregadas.

Being overweight and obese have been frequently observed in women with infertility, which is a constant in more than 20 Latin American countries. Several studies propose that stress is essential for modifying body weight since it causes an increased food intake. In the investigation, 250 infertile women were evaluated and associated with the Body Mass Index (BMI). 80.4% of the participants were overweight or obese without sig-nificant stress levels. The regular BMI group has a higher risk in the healthcare subscales than overweight and obese women. Traditional clinical psychology can change social representations of overweight or obese women; they can become aware of risk factors and emphasize health care for women with infertility who present risks to their health.

The training system in clinical psychology in Spain is a process that will test the adaptability of trainees to the limit, especially if they do not have adequate supervision and institutional support. Aware of this issue, the present paper aims to normalize the complexity of training as a clinical psychologist in Spain, placing special emphasis on the first steps as a trainee in the Spanish National Health System and on the personal challenges involved. Moreover, it seeks to increase sensitivity and awareness about the importance of establishing measures that enable trainees to survive clinical psychology. Therefore, the state of the art on the topic of self-care within the field of clinical psychology and psychotherapy is discussed from the perspective that better trained specialists will improve the National Health System and mental health care for the most vulnerable people.

The personal style of the therapist refers to the dispositions, traits and attitudes that the therapists display in their professional practice. The associations between personal style of the therapist, empathy and theory of mind, have yet to be examined. This study analyzed the associations between personal style of the therapist, empathy and theory of mind among therapists, while considering the effect of their theoretical background and other contextual and individual variables. The study sample consisted of 152 Argentine therapists. Personal style and empathy were assessed through self-report questionnaires (Personal Style of the Therapist Questionnaire and Interpersonal Reactivity index, respectively), while theory of mind was evaluated with the Reading the Mind in the Eyes test. Cognitive empathy was associated with a broader attentional focus and higher emotional expressiveness, while affective empathy led to stronger commitment and a higher emotional impact of therapy on the therapist. In addition, psychoanalysts and cognitive behavioral therapists exhibited personal style of therapist differences in their spontaneity and emotional distance, and cognitive behavioral therapists showed higher levels of engagement.

Saúde mental dos jovens, é o tema que vos trago. É um dos temas quentes que temos em mãos. Quando pensamos no futuro, e neste presente pós-pandemia, necessáriamente deparamo-nos a analisar a sociedade de hoje; em particular, os jovens que temos hoje e que serão os adultos, conscientes e agentes de mudanças positivas ou não… Assim, inevitavelmente, se queremos uma sociedade saudável, temos de pensar na saúde mental dos nossos jovens. Temos então, o mote para infinitas discussões, plenários, reflexões seja na escola ou seja o nível parlamentar; e cabe a nós também investigar... é o propósito desta reflexão e futura investigação em alunos universitários. Torna-se urgente ouvir os jovens; é urgente conseguir decifrar o que pensam os jovens nos dias de hoje, numa base ainda mais primária, é muito urgente prescrutar o que sentem on nossos jovens no presente e perante o mal-estar ou uma saúde mental afectada; podermos atuar, dentro das nossas áreas psicologia clinica, psicanálise e educação, entre outras; sempre da melhor forma, a mais assertiva e positiva possivel!

Se presenta una reflexión antropológica y epistemológica de la situación actual de la Psicología clínica y de la Psiquiatría. Partiendo de los hechos y datos clínicos se plantea la necesidad de explicitar el fundamento filosófico (antropológico y ético) de estas disciplinas, y abrir estas áreas del saber a dimensiones no contempladas por las ciencias positivas. La equiparación de estas materias a las ciencias naturales lleva irremediablemente a un reduccionismo cientificista, que a su vez nos conduce a unas aporías clínicas insalvables, originando distorsiones en nuestro modo de concebir y tratar los trastornos mentales. Se enfatiza en la noción central de naturaleza como referente obligado para una recta comprensión de nuestro quehacer profesional.

En el presente artículo se busca exponer sintéticamente el meta-modelo de la Psicología integral de la persona. A partir de seis preguntas fundamentales se intenta mostrar sus principales planteamientos: (1) qué es la Psicología clínica, (2) qué es la salud psíquica, (3) qué es el desorden psíquico, (4) en qué consiste el diagnóstico clínico, (5) en qué consiste el proceso de sanar psíquicamente y (6) cuál es el rol del terapeuta.

Advirtiendo la relevancia del concepto de salud psíquica, se propone una definición formal del mismo, fundamentada en la filosofía de santo Tomás de Aquino. Se comprende, así, como una disposición aptitudinal ordenada del apetito sensitivo, como parte en cuanto parte de la operación voluntaria. Tal definición permite comprender la salud psíquica en su especificidad, como perfección de la dimensión sensible superior, distinguiéndola, por un lado, de la salud corpórea y, por otro, de la virtud. A la vez, ella permite establecer un diálogo fecundo con tales realidades en orden a alcanzar la madurez humana.

La stanza della consulenza è lo spazio fisico in cui un servizio di consulenza o psicoterapia ha luogo. Questo argomento non ha avuto un’ampia trattazione nella letteratura psicologica, nonostante sia un elemento necessario per fornire qualsiasi servizio di supporto o cura psicologiche. I primi lavori che riguardano la stanza della consulenza sono di matrice psicoanalitica: Freud descrive la stanza dell’analisi definendo il ruolo che nella pratica analitica gioca la presenza e la posizione del lettino nello spazio. Anche nella psicoanalisi infantile la stanza verrà descritta in dettaglio come elemento che permette al bambino di produrre materiale per l’analisi grazie agli elementi presenti in essa. La stanza della consulenza è stata oggetto di lavori di psicologia sperimentale e della salute. In quest’ottica possiamo individuare alcuni nuclei tematici a cui si è prestata particolare attenzione, nello specifico sono stati indagati gli effetti che caratteristiche della stanza di consulenza esercitano sulla comunicazione tra gli occupanti e sulle percezioni e sensazioni di utenti e psicologi. Inoltre, studi più recenti hanno tentato di definire le caratteristiche ideali per la stanza di consulenza. Questi lavori hanno mostrato un’evoluzione nelle metodologie impiegate, rivelando una maggior consapevolezza nella ricerca sul tema degli effetti olistici delle caratteristiche di questo spazio sugli occupanti. Riteniamo che conoscere gli effetti che le variabili ambientali esercitano sul processo di consulenza o psicoterapia, sia estremamente utile sia nei contesti pubblici che privati per fornire servizi psicologici adeguati.

O Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias com Tema é um mediador que vem sendo utilizado em várias pesquisas sobre imaginários coletivos que tomam a psicologia psicanalítica concreta como referencial teórico-metodológico. Assim, justifica-se o objetivo do presente texto de apresentar os fundamentos teórico-metodológicos desse tipo de recurso. Para tanto, o artigo está organizado em três seções. Na primeira, discorre sobre as diversas possibilidades por meio das quais a psicanálise vem sendo vinculada à pesquisa qualitativa, com vistas a situar o trabalho com o Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias com Tema nesse leque de alternativas. Na segunda, apresenta, detalha e fundamenta o próprio procedimento, dedicando atenção ao processo de definição do tema a ser solicitado. Na terceira, apresenta material de pesquisa para ilustrar as questões que compõem a segunda parte do artigo.

Pretendemos no presente artigo realizar um estudo teórico e um relato de experiência, em que revisitaremos o modo de lida clínica com o suicídio na obra de Ludwig Binswanger, antes mesmo dele estabelecer a sua daseinsanálise, no seu famoso caso Ellen West. Com isso visamos dar relevo ao questionamento do psiquiatra com relação à psiquiatria de ênfase marcadamente biológica, em que o suicídio é compreendido como sintoma associado a quadros psicopatológicos, tendência essa que ainda se faz presente na psiquiatria atual. Por fim, apresentaremos nossa própria experiência clínica com suicídio, em que esse é tomado como possibilidade existencial. Através de um breve relato de experiência iremos mostrar o que consideramos um desdobramento daquilo que tem início com Binswanger, ou seja, a daseinsanálise. Com a denominação daseinsanálise hoje buscamos retornar à obra de Martin Heidegger para então continuar a desenvolver uma lida mais serena frente a situações de risco de suicídio na psicologia clínica daseinsanalítica.

TRacism is present in institutions, where it causes negligence in the perception of the harm caused by prejudice and discrimination. Psychology has an ethical duty not to reproduce structural and institutional racism. Given this, through an integrative review, we investigated which aspects of the psychological clinic with black people are addressed in research in the Brazilian context. Five articles were selected from four databases. Data analysis occurred through content analysis. The studies found, mostly qualitative, had the majority participation of adult female clients. It was noticed that the demands presented by black clients permeate racism through a vision of inferiority of themselves that presents itself in different ways (that is excessive self-demand, lack of belonging). Reception through group therapy proved to be promising for black clients, being the only aspect of treatment potential found in the analyzed studies. It is concluded that more empirical studies are needed on the clinic with black people so that psychology asserts itself as anti-racist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has a prevalence of 3-4% in women, rising to 15-19% in the presence of risks during pregnancy or childbirth, and reaching 39% in the case of neonatal death. Perinatal complications can trigger a real or perceived threat to maternal or neonatal life, which can evoke intense emotional reactions equivalent to a traumatic stressor according to PTSD criteria. Four symptom clusters have been identified: re-experiencing, avoidance, negative cognitions and mood, and hyperarousal symptoms. Despite its high comorbidity with depression and anxiety, postpartum PTSD remains underdiagnosed in maternal settings. The Postpartum Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Scale, originally developed in England, is in the process of translation and global validation. Objective: To validate the Spanish adaptation of the City Birth Trauma Scale. Methods: Quantitative, nonexperimental, cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study in a sample of 677 Argentine women with children under 12 months of age. Results: Exploratory factor analysis revealed two dimensions that explained 49.56% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor structure. The scale showed high internal consistency (total α = 0.903), with α = 0.872 for ‘birth-related symptoms’ and α = 0.886 for ‘general symptoms’. Construct validity of the City BiTS was demonstrated by moderate associations with the DASS-21 subscales and a negative correlation with the BIEPS-A. Conclusions: The Spanish adaptation of the City Birth Trauma Scale is confirmed as a reliable and valid instrument, consistent with original research findings and subsequent validations, articulating postpartum PTSD in two symptom categories: birth-related and general.

Background: Emotion regulation involves the modulation of emotional experiences to facilitate goal attainment. Conversely, emotional difficulties are a pattern of emotional experiences and expressions that interfere with goal-directed behavior. Objectives: Design a new model to predict the presence of depression in women during pregnancy. Methods: Non-experimental, cross-sectional, explanatory study of depression in women during pregnancy (logistic regression) considering the variables emotional intelligence, parental care, anxiety and stress. The sample consisted of 273 pregnant women-mothers between 14 and 38 weeks pregnant, aged between 18 and 38 years, for a mean of 25.67 years (SD=5.8). Results: The regression model is valid and significant in predicting the probability of occurrence of depression, explaining 82.4% of the variance of DV (Presence of depression) by the variables age, clarity and repair of depression dimensions. emotional intelligence, the maternal and paternal overprotection dimensions, and paternal care of the parental style variables; stress, work and single marital status. There is a 95.2% probability of success in the depression result when each of the model variables is incorporated. Conclusions: The best predictors of depression in pregnancy would be, on the one hand, higher levels or values of the variables and indicators age, reparation, maternal overprotection, paternal care, and stress, and on the other hand, low scores in the dimensions and values of clarity variables, and paternal overprotection; added to whether the woman works and is single. This combination of variables would be the individual and contextual conditions that influence said appearance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the field of psychotherapy, there is a gap in scientific knowledge concerning the paths and the impacts of using social media to advertise both psychotherapy and psychotherapists. With our study, we wish to contribute on that matter, directing our research specifically to this advertising on Instagram. We took Theory of Subjectivity as our theoretical frame because it allows visualizing and representing, in its complex understanding of human processes, the recursive ways in which human reality and action take place individually and socially in a concrete history and culture. Our goals were: 1) to investigate and discuss subjective configurations of psychotherapy in its advertisement on Instagram, and 2) from that, to debate the practice of psychotherapists. This paper is divided in: 1) introduction, 2) methodology, 3) information construction and analysis, and 4) final remarks. In the introduction, we present Theory of Subjectivity, debate the field of psychotherapy and define our investigation questions. In the methodology section, we discuss the method we used - constructive-interpretative method -, as well as present our research's participants, place and instruments. In the information construction and analysis section, that correspond to our results and our discussion, we present our hypotheticaltheoretical movement, recursively developed with what we experienced on the field, as well as show our theoretical production on the subjective processes of one of our research's participants. In the final remarks section, we address our investigation questions. The thoughts on the practice of psychotherapists that our study allowed us to weave are present in all sections of this paper.

The purpose of practice research networks is to foster clinically relevant research and scientifically informed clinical practice. This article describes the development of a collaborative network between clinicians and researchers in Spain and Argentina. This network is made up of psychologists specialized in clinical psychology, intern resident psychologists who are members of the Spanish Society of Clinical Psychology and researchers working at different universities. The main aim of the network is to foster the development of practice research programmes in a collaborative manner. We present its first project that analyses the sociodemographic data, professional characteristics, personal style of therapists and their attitudes towards research of 409 Spanish clinical psychologists. This approach meant understanding clinicians' interests, and the beginning of a collaborative interaction to create useful resources for clinical practice based on applied research.

No campo da psicoterapia, há uma lacuna de produção científica acerca das conformações e dos impactos do uso das redes sociais para a divulgação desta prática e para a divulgação do psicoterapeuta. Com nosso estudo, visamos contribuir neste sentido, direcionando nossa pesquisa especificamente à divulgação no Instagram. Tomamos a Teoria da Subjetividade como nosso fundamento teórico por ela permitir visibilizar e representar, em sua compreensão complexa dos processos humanos, os modos recursivos pelos quais tomam forma a realidade e a ação humanas individuais e sociais em uma história e em uma cultura concretas. Tivemos como objetivos: 1) investigar e discutir configurações subjetivas da psicoterapia em sua divulgação no Instagram, e 2) a partir disto, refletir sobre a atuação do psicoterapeuta. Este artigo se encontra organizado em: 1) introdução, 2) metodologia, 3) construção e análise da informação, e 4) considerações finais. Na introdução, apresentamos a Teoria da Subjetividade, debatemos o campo da psicoterapia e definimos nossas questões de investigação. Na metodologia, pormenorizamos o método que norteou nosso estudo – o método construtivo-interpretativo –, bem como apresentamos os participantes, o local e os instrumentos de nossa pesquisa. Na construção e na análise da informação, seção que corresponde aos resultados e à discussão, visibilizamos nosso movimento de tessitura hipotético-teórica em recursividade com o vivido no empírico, assim como apresentamos nossa produção teórica acerca dos processos subjetivos de um dos participantes de nosso estudo. Nas considerações finais, respondemos às questões de investigação que lançamos na introdução. As reflexões a que nossa pesquisa nos permitiu chegar acerca da atuação do psicoterapeuta se encontram presentes ao longo de todo o trabalho.

Resumo Mindfulness tem se tornado popular na comunidade psicoterapêutica e, também, entre clientes em busca de alívio para seu sofrimento. Contudo, pouco se conhece sobre como mindfulness tem sido integrado à psicoterapia, especialmente no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e caracterizar conhecimento, recomendação, uso clínico e pessoal de mindfulness por psicólogos clínicos brasileiros. Os dados foram obtidos utilizando levantamento quantitativo nacional, realizado com 417 psicólogos clínicos habilitados. O instrumento utilizado foi um questionário estruturado online, desenvolvido e testado para este estudo. Os resultados foram analisados descritivamente por meio de frequências; para a associação entre categorias de respostas utilizou-se teste exato de Fisher e nível de significância p < 0,05. Os resultados indicaram que a maior parte dos psicólogos (65,23%) relatou nenhum ou pouco conhecimento de mindfulness; quase metade (47,96%) já recomendou a seus clientes; cerca de um terço (31,18%) já aplicou na clínica, predominando o uso de técnicas isoladas com clientes individualmente; e cerca de um quarto dos profissionais (25,37%) pratica mindfulness a nível pessoal. Estes dados sugerem que o uso de mindfulness na clínica tem se distanciado do formato baseado em evidência - programas baseados em mindfulness -, cuja eficácia já foi verificada. Espera-se que os resultados contribuam para a reflexão acerca da capacitação e da regulamentação de práticas emergentes em psicologia (incluindo mindfulness) por parte dos campos regulatório, acadêmico e científico, qualificando o psicólogo para tomar melhores decisões sobre a integração de tais práticas na psicoterapia.
