Mindfulness e Psychological Mindedness enquanto posturas terapêuticas: Relação com o processo de mudança em psicoterapia

Dora Alice Coimbra, António Branco Vasco

Abstract


A influência das características do psicoterapeuta, no processo e nos resultados da intervenção psicoterapêutica, tem sido amplamente reconhecida, independentemente do modelo teórico. Assumindo-se o interesse no estudo das competências terapêuticas não “técnicas”, necessárias para a prática clínica, reflecte-se sobre os constructos mindfulness e psychological mindedness, enquanto características relativamente estáveis da consciência da experiência e do self do psicoterapeuta, que podem manifestar-se como posturas terapêuticas distintas. Acreditamos que os terapeutas mais mindful e/ou psychologically minded, oscilando responsivamente entre as duas posturas terapêuticas, poderão verificar nos seus pacientes, uma maior capacidade estrutural, associada a um aumento da consciência da experiência e do self, obtido através da assimilação de objectivos estratégicos específicos de fase 2, do Metamodelo de Complementaridade Paradigmática (Vasco, 2006). É apontada a relevância clínica de se considerar a mindfulness e a psychological mindedness como posturas terapêuticas complementares, salientando-se a necessidade de se encontrar uma definição operacional dos constructos.
