Abstract

This dissertation focuses on three articles written in the context of the Improve-Project (Swiss National Science Foundation, Grant 100019_159425; Main applicant: Prof. Dr. Franz Caspar; Co-applicants: Prof. Dr. Thomas Berger and Prof. Dr. Martin grosse Holtforth). The aim of the Improve-Project was to investigate the effects of the integration of emotion-focused therapy elements (EFT) and elaborated self-regulation concepts (SR) into psychological therapy on the therapy process and on outcome. In addition, the Improve-Project aimed to investigate mechanisms and processes of change underlying the therapies conducted in the project. The three scientific articles focus on the assumed patient-change process of emotional transformation and examine how the integration of emotion-focused elements affects this change process. The study protocol provides a theoretical framework to answer these research questions. Study 1 is a process-outcome study that examines whether emotional transformation can be assumed as a patient-change process in psychological therapy with integrated EFT- and SR-elements and whether the integration of emotion-focused elements promotes the transformation process. Study 2 is a sequential-process study that examines the step-by-step unfolding of the emotional transformation process on a minute level and whether the integration of emotion-focused elements affects the emotional transformation steps. Taken together, the results of the empirical studies contribute to a better understanding of the effectiveness of Psychological Therapy. After an introduction to the thematic field, the three articles are summarized and critically reflected. Based on the results of the empirical studies, conclusions on emotional transformation as a patient-change process in psychological therapy with integrated EFT- and SR-elements are drawn and the effects of the integrative approach are discussed. Finally, implications for the clinical practice of psychological therapy as well as limitation of the present work will be discussed and further research questions will be presented.
