Navigating the complexities of the psychotherapy process: a multi-method investigation on the role of therapist responsiveness
Full text linkUnderstanding how treatment works is a crucial objective in psychotherapy research. Studies have highlighted the therapist effects on the psychotherapy process; however, there is still a gap on the specific role of the clinicians’ interpersonal skills. This thesis focused on therapist responsiveness—the capacity to effectively meet patients’ needs—and examined its relationship with other critical factors, such as therapeutic alliance, therapist emotional responses, and session outcomes measured in terms of depth of elaboration. Therapist-patient dyads completed self-report instruments and responded to open-ended questions. Study One found that therapist responsiveness was a more robust predictor of depth of elaboration than therapeutic alliance underscoring its significance. Mixed models were used considering the nested data structure. Study Two focused on the therapist perspective, revealing that deeper sessions were characterized by greater therapist responsiveness and positive countertransference whereas shallower sessions showed lower responsiveness and more negative countertransference. In Study Three a thematic analysis identified core aspects of therapist responsiveness within sessions. Responsive moments were marked by therapist attunement and insight promotion, while non-responsive moments involved feelings of inadequacy, misattunement, and disagreement on treatment objectives. Study Four applied network analysis to therapist responsiveness, therapeutic alliance, and depth of elaboration as evaluated by both therapists and patients. Interconnections between variables underscored that the therapeutic relationship can be better viewed as a complex system where both members reciprocally influence each other. Overall, therapist responsiveness emerged as a pivotal factor in promoting positive outcomes. Converging findings across various methodologies enriched our understanding on the mechanisms of change in psychotherapy underscoring the need for tailored interventions that address patients’ needs

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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
