The relational approach to person-centred therapy
No full textThis chapter details the theoretical and clinical foundations for a relational approach to person-centred therapy. It covers its evolution, philosophical and psychological roots and practice. This approach has evolved from classical person-centred therapy by giving a new emphasis to the first and sixth conditions: contact and client perceptions of connectivity with the therapist. The relational approach has four interlinked dimensions from which to derive relational practice: the relationship to another, where the therapist has an ethical responsibility to encounter the client; the co-created relationship, where healing occurs through moments of relational depth; the self-relationship, as an ongoing commitment to developing self-acceptance, and the relationship to the social world and contexts.
Evidence for the benefits of the relational approach is growing. It comes from research into factors that touch on relationship with the other, and more recently from evidence for the links between relational depth and mutuality, which reflect the co-created relationship. There is also some evidence on the importance of the self-relationship and relationship with the world. Further research is needed in each of these areas, and most importantly on integrating cultural sensitivity into relational person-centred practices

Relational Depth
No full textRelational depth refers to bidirectional moments of deep contact and engagement and enduring experiences of connectedness. Experiences of relational depth can have an important therapeutic impact for clients across different contexts, helping them to reconnect with themselves and others, and reducing psychological distress. While not all clients are looking for relational depth, it is helpful for therapists to understand how they might facilitate – or inhibit this experience. Research on relational depth continues to uncover benefits of the experience and new developments include relational depth training across counselling courses in the United Kingdom and internationally

The person-centred approach today and tomorrow: Seeds of a peaceful revolution
No full textThe PCA developed by Carl Rogers has come as a radical turn, which has had a major impact on the counselling and psychotherapy world and beyond. The well-known ‘core conditions’ have been adopted in most contemporary approaches of psychotherapy. The approach has grown and diversified and is now widely practiced around the globe. It has also known challenges and limitations that future research must continue to address and face for the approach to continue to
develop and flourish
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
