Configuración narrativa de la experiencia de bienestar y procesos autorreferenciales del terapeuta

Abstract

The present research-intervention is part of the macro research project Family Narratives in Diversity of Contexts of the Master's Degree in Clinical and Family Psychology of the Universidad Santo Tomás. The general objective focuses on understanding the narrative construction of the experience of well-being in psychotherapy to facilitate its reconstruction from the configuration of self-reference processes from the theater as a device that evokes the voice of the body and impacts the processes of change in clinical intervention. The methodology was assumed from a second-order qualitative perspective as a narrative-conversational investigative/interventive process in which validity is given in a contextual and reflexive order. Ten conversational scenarios organized in two different interventive levels were applied; the first interventive level corresponded to psychotherapy, in which two consulting systems were attended in the Psychological Attention Services of the USTA. The second interventive level was a consultancy through which a drama teacher worked with the researcher-interventionist in evoking the voice of the body to be incorporated in the self-reference. Finally, this consultancy was developed with a group of therapists in training who were part of a supervision team. Regarding the emergence of the results, it was possible to recognize that the construction of knowledge about the therapist's self and the incorporation of the therapist's body voice in the configuration of his or her self-referential processes, potentiates the generation of interventional strategies that, put at the service of psychotherapy, make possible the generation of possible worlds in favor of change and well-being for both the consulting system and the therapist.
