| Abstract | Objective: Over the last decades, psychotherapy of psychosis has increasingly gained attention. The quality of the therapeutic alliance has been shown to have an impact on therapy outcome. Yet, little is know about the influence of the therapeutic stance on the alliance. In this study, we explore psychotherapists' stance towards persons with psychosis with the aim of better understanding its characteristic-hindering and helpful-aspects. Method: 6 semi-structured interviews with psychotherapists from three different schools (CBT, PD, ST) were analysed with Grounded Theory. Credibility was checked through external and peer-researcher-supported debriefing. Results: 4 core categories were generated and interrelated in a theoretical model. Therapists' stance was initially characterized by insecurity. Diffent ways of dealing with insecurity yielded different stances: a monological and an open one. A helpful stance was conceived as stemming from openness and was characterized by a dialogical structure. A co-presence (or "dosing") of you and I was conceived as its core aspect. Conclusion: These findings specify the interpersonal dynamics arising from different stances and their impact on the therapeutic alliance and process. Research is still needed to further understand the characteristics of helpful and hindering therapeutic stances, which should also inform the training of psychotherapists. |
