I am conducting a literature review on psychotherapy process research and this, of course, yields an impressive number of papers. I wonder which one(s) I should not miss.
No review would be complete for me without including Lorna Benjamin's Structural Analysis of Social Behavior. Here's one recent study: Interpersonal Theory of Personality Disorders: The Structural Analysis of Social Behavior and Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy.
By Benjamin, Lorna Smith
Lenzenweger, Mark F. (Ed); Clarkin, John F. (Ed), (2005). Major theories of personality disorder (2nd ed). , (pp. 157-230). New York, NY, US: Guilford Press, xiii, 464 pp.
This chapter presents a case, Annie, that illustrates how interpersonal reconstructive therapy (IRT) explains and directs the psychosocial aspect of treatment. In addition to an overview and concluding remarks, this chapter has three main sections: 1. A description of IRT theory, with applications to Annie. 2. A description of the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) model, the method used to operationalize the case formulation, the therapy process, and interpersonal and intrapsychic aspects of outcome in IRT. SASB predictive principles are illustrated by Annie's case. This section includes reference to formal validity studies of SASB models and predictive principles. 3. Illustrative applications of both IRT and SASB to Axis II personality disorders with emphasis on those that best characterized Annie according to the Wisconsin Personality Inventory (WISPI), an SASB-based instrument of DSM Axis II disorders.
