14 August 2014 PR14 085 Change can be seen in people's speech Change can be seen in people’s speech
A study was published in British Journal of Clinical Psychology about the development of an innovating system to analyze the speech of clients in psychotherapy. The study identifies a set of indices that indicate if a client is changing and where is are clients situated in their process of change. These indices can be used as important indicators for assessment and to improve the efficacy of the intervention.
The authors - David Neto, Telmo Baptista e Kim Dent-Brown – have conducted a joint project between the University of Sheffield and the University of Lisbon to elaborate this system of indices. The indices map “assimilation”, which corresponds to the client’s process of integrating events, experiences and the therapist’s interventions. This process is considered paramount in the understanding of change in psychotherapy.
