Item A methodological approach to couples therapy using a conjoint relational drawing process for the description of and intervention with relational patterns and meaning-attributions(2019) Molina, María Elisa; Tapia Villanueva, Luis; Fossa, Pablo; Pereira, Ximena; Aspillaga H., Carolina; Puerta, Sofía de laThe consultants’ observation and understanding of relational patterns in couples therapy is a main therapeutic objective and a resource for change. The Conjoint Relational Drawing Process (CRDP) methodology uses a drawing technique to enable the display and efficient observation of relational patterns. It was designed to address the relational process in couples therapy. Two couples participated in making a conjoint drawing that was video-recorded and later observed and analysed by the couple and the therapist and the researchers. The relational pattern descriptions and meaning attributions about the video-recorded drawings were analysed in the therapeutic and research contexts. As a result, new perspectives regarding relational patterns and meaning attributions emerged, revealing modes of interaction that allowed new viewpoints about difficulties and ways forward. This approach for the clinical application of CRDP contributed to the evaluation and intervention in the couples’ therapy, and enabled issues to be defined early in the processItem Chilean Spanish version of the State Trait Cheerfulness Inventory (STCI-T-60, trait form): Individual and couple forms(2014) Tapia Villanueva, Luis; Armijo, Iván; Pereira, Ximena; Molina, María ElisaThe adaptation and validation of a Chilean Spanish version of the State Trait Cheerfulness Inventory (STCI-T-60) including a couple evaluation, is presented. The inventory was developed by Ruch (1990) to measure three traits (cheerfulness, seriousness, and bad mood), considered to enable exhilaration, which is the main indicator of the sense of humor experience. Ruch suggested studying basic temperamental traits and stable dispositions involved in the possibility of experiencing humor. The inventory was applied to three Chilean samples: a validation sample of 500 adults individuals, evaluated in a stratified manner considering gender, age and socio-economic level; a replication sample of 298 middle-class adults; and a couple sample of 53 middle-class couples. The results showed adequate internal consistency and solid validity of the constructs in all groups. The study contributes to research in the field of the sense of humor from local and transcultural perspectives. The validation of a couple form will contribute specifically contribute to the study of the sense of humor as a couple relational dynamic and its relations with other relational variables.Item Diálogo en la Psicoterapia: Protocolo para un análisis de Micro-Proceso(2015) Molina, María Elisa; Del Rio, María Teresa; Tapia Villanueva, LuisEste estudio aborda el encuentro humano y la construcción de significados que se despliega, desde una perspectiva dialógica y de micro-proceso. Considerando la propuesta de Valsiner (2007) se adopta una perspectiva semiótica, proponiendo un Protocolo de Análisis que describe indicadores que regulan ese proceso. Para esto se observaron momentos de diálogo terapéutico con madres de niños abusados sexualmente. El análisis describe mecanismos en el diálogo que promueven la construcción, restringen y/o potencian significados. Las dialogantes transitaron desde la imposibilidad de acción hacia la generación de alternativas para sus vidas, mostrando variabilidad inter e intra-individual de los procesos de significación. Estas dinámicas intersubjetivas permiten que sí mismo y cultura se encuentren, en un proceso recíproco de influencias hacia la estabilidad y el cambio.Item Factors Preventing Gridlock in Chilean Couples Relationships Based on the Discourse of Couples Therapists and Highly Adjusted Couples(2014) Tapia Villanueva, Luis; Molina, María Elisa; Aspillaga H., Carolina; Cruzat Mandich, Claudia; Pereira, Ximena; Poulsen, Gianella; Sotomayor, Patricia; Armijo, IvánThe term gridlock describes the occurrence of rigid patterns in couples' conflict. This study aimed to describe strategies of conflict resolution and gridlock prevention from the perspectives of couples and couple therapists. Participants were couple therapists and highly adjusted couples scored by the dyadic adjustment scale (DAS), distributed according to traditional and non-traditional position in life and duration of relationships. Conflict gridlock scenarios were used to create video stimulus that were presented to participants. A qualitative methodology was used to analyse couples' and therapists' commentaries on the scenarios. Results showed differences in preventing conflict gridlock among sub-groups of couples. Long-term traditional couples focused on loyalty to a common project and value sacrificing to a higher good; long-term non-traditional couples prioritised caring and validating the bond in the relationship. Short-term traditional couples focused on mutual love and the relief of hurt while short-term non-traditional couples supported the value of equity.Item Primera entrevista en terapia de pareja: co-construcción de un encuentro situado(2014) Tapia Villanueva, Luis; Molina, María ElisaLa primera entrevista más que una conversación para obtener información, es un encuentro con el propósito de favorecer la formación de un sistema terapéutico, intersubjetivo y tríadico. Su foco es la experiencia vivida en ese encuentro, como una emergencia del aquí y ahora. Construir un sistema terapéutico consiste en crear un vínculo apoyado en la empatía y la mentalización. Este primer momento aborda aspectos relevantes como el desarrollo de un motivo de consulta y la definición en conjunto con la pareja del problema que viven desde una perspectiva relacional. Esto involucra la identificación de pautas interaccionales, atribución de significados y emociones asociadas, desplegándose un drama en un clima emocional situado. Las situaciones vividas como problema son llevadas a una perspectiva de procesos relacionales y pueden ser comprendidas desde dimensiones, como el apego, la diferenciación, la intimidad emocional, la pasión amorosa y el poder. Esta primera cita es un momento crucial de cronogénesis (co-construcción del tiempo en el aquí y ahora), un momento presente, que reconecta al pasado con sus dificultades y recursos y lo proyecta a nuevas posibles trayectorias de futuro que se inician en este encuentro. Lo que ocurra en este encuentro gravitará notoriamente en el desarrollo de la terapia.Publication Primera entrevista en terapia de pareja: co-construcción de un encuentro situado(2014) Tapia Villanueva, Luis; Molina, Maria ElisaPublication Variety of Love: Multiverses in a Localism Aesthetic(2016) Molina, Maria Elisa; Tapia Villanueva, LuisThe article discusses de conceptualization of human passionate love from historical, cultural and psychological approaches. From these contexts people have constructed and constructed the meanings of love with confusion and ambivalence. This fuzziness has lead to variability in social and family interplay, even in intimate lives. A tension of meanings entails contradictory experiences and aspects of love, for example, care and desire. Diverse meanings and communication scenarios are developed in a coexisting cultural complexity from the focus on family as a social unit and source of parenting, through the detachment of sexuality from breeding that enhanced emotional needs of the couple’s members, to the current society of lessen intimacy and compromise. New ways of amorous relations, more focused on passion and fellowship have emerged. Passionate love when is developed, faces the feelings of uniqueness and legitimacy with the fragmentation and invisibility promoted by postG industrial society. Passionate human love from a perspective of high psychological functions is uniqueness and intimacy. It entails complicity and privacy even secrecy. It is an intersubjective phenomenon that involves moving around the edges of the self and the other who are involved in the experiences of abandonment and surrender. An expansion of the self occurs, the relationship pushes the development of selves and the coGconstruction of weness. Passionate love is an inverbalizable experience that has led humans to resort to poetry getting free from grammatical structures to express its complexity. These productions describe feelings of lenitude, fusion and unicity in a hypergeneralized quality. Love is a metalevel, extraordinary experience, producing an aesthetic experience. Through hipergeneralization experiences are imbued with full sense by ambiguous but powerful symbols in the semiotic process and chronogenesis. Passionate love that is ritualized and mediated by the erotic scene emerges as a deeply embodied phenomenon. The notion of temporality and chronogenesis broadens the understanding of the dynamics of love addressing the essential question about existence. It is in the temporary borders of identity that passionate love arises. This space is in between being another and myself and also merging with him or her. It is an experience that defies sanity. The eternal dance of this madness is the anguish of not solving the existential loneliness and being debated on the edge of closeness and distance, of life and extinction.
