Approaches to the dynamics of change: Structures and processes in psychotherapy. Introduction to the Special Issue

Abstract

This is the second and last installment of the most significant contributions compilation from the V National Cognitive Psychotherapy Conference. The six papers included in this second part explore different structures and processes underlying the dynamics of change in psychotherapy. The reader will find both theoretical reviews and empirical contributions of group and single-case designs. Taken together, they configure a plural narrative that stimulate and challenge the discussion about the mechanisms of change involved in the process of therapeutic change and contribute to the improvement of the therapists’ technical repertoire.
