Abstract The present study aimed to describe the characteristics of the psychodynamic psychotherapeutic process of a child with a pregnant therapist and to identify possible repercussions of this pregnancy in the treatment. A descriptive, longitudinal study was conducted, based on systematic single case study procedure. The participants were an eight-year-old girl and her therapist who became pregnant during treatment. Forty psychotherapeutic sessions were analyzed through Child Psychotherapy Q-Set procedure. The therapeutic process was divided into four periods related to the therapist’s pregnancy: (1) the therapist was not pregnant; (2) therapist knew of her pregnancy but the topic had not been verbalized; (3) the pregnancy was treated in the therapeutic setting; (4) return of maternity leave. The results demonstrated that the therapist has adopted a less neutral stance, used less limits, and breaks and pauses in treatment were increasingly discussed. It was concluded that the therapist´s pregnancy influences the therapeutic setting in a marked way.

Patterns Of Interaction

It is important to investigate the outcomes of psychotherapy and, especially, its process. Regarding child psychodynamic psychotherapy, available studies are in smaller numbers. Therefore, we still do not fully know the mechanisms of change in treatments with this age group. The Child Psychotherapy Q-Set (CPQ) was designed to analyze the therapeutic process with children. It permits one to identify interaction structures (i.e., repetitive patterns of interaction) and how they change in the course of a treatment. Based on these assumptions, the aim of this study was to identify and to analyze the interaction structures in the psychodynamic therapy of a boy diagnosed with Asperger’s disorder and possible changes in his psychic organization. A mixed longitudinal study, based on the Systematic Case Study procedure, was performed. Approximately 30 months of the boy’s psychotherapy were analyzed using the CPQ. The Rorschach method was used as the outcome measure. Four interaction structures were identified, using the CPQ: Active, confident and lively child, competing with connected, mentalizing and accepting therapist; Withdrawn and defensive child with uncertain, unresponsive and didactic therapist; Accepting therapist with demanding, provocative and hostile child; and Reassuring, supportive, nondirective therapist with a compliant and not spontaneous child. Two interaction structures varied over time. Some changes in Rorschach variables were detected after two years of treatment.

Therapeutic Mechanisms

Psychoanalysis has produced important theories that help explain the radical alterations in self-experience central for persons experiencing psychosis. These concepts have led to important clinical developments, case studies, and some research on the efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy for psychosis (Gottdiener, 2006). However, psychodynamic psychotherapy has struggled to produce operationalized constructs to measure how it enhances self-development and the therapeutic mechanisms of action that facilitate these changes. Outside of psychoanalysis, some researchers have focused on the construct of metacognition (i.e. thinking about thinking) and its relevance to understanding psychosis. Proponents of this paradigm have created an integrative, exploratory therapy (MERIT, Lysaker & Klion, 2017) that blends various therapeutic traditions that overlap with psychodynamic psychotherapy and mentalization (Ridenour, Knauss, & Hamm, 2019). In this paper, we will present a short-term intensive case study of psychodynamic psychotherapy with a young man experiencing psychosis in residential treatment and then analyze the therapy through the lens of metacognition to provide constructs that illustrate the ways that it promotes recovery and self-integration.
