Resumo: The present study deals with the role of the therapist’s feelings and with how these can contribute to the therapeutic process. How can careful discrimination of the feelings of the therapist help make well-directed choices during treatment? With this aim, specific moments in two cases of functional analytic psychotherapy are discussed. The analysis concentrates on the concepts of T1 and T2 that characterize the behavior of the therapist in functional analytic psychotherapy’s theoretical model. Fragments of the treatments analyzed show how counterproductive therapist behavior (T1) and effective therapist behavior (T2) relate to the discrimination of the therapist’s feelings. The material shows that keen observation of the therapist’s feelings can help detect tricky contingencies in the relationship with the client and thus prevent inefficient therapeutic conduct. Besides, the precise discrimination of the feelings the client evokes in the therapist can help choose interventions that are more productive. The article concludes that therapists need to develop definite attention to their feelings, because these contain clues concerning the client’s problems, can clarify what is happening in session and can help conduct treatment in more sensitive ways.Keywords: feelings, therapeutic relationship, functional analytic psychotherapy

Pretende-se verificar como a consideração cuidadosa dos sentimentos do terapeuta ajuda a fazer opções terapêuticas bem direcionadas. Para isso, momentos específicos de dois casos conduzidos de acordo com a psicoterapia analítica funcional são discutidos. A análise se concentra nos conceitos de T1 e T2 que caracterizam os comportamentos do terapeuta no modelo teórico da psicoterapia analítica funcional. Fragmentos dos casos são analisados para verificar como comportamentos improdutivos da terapeuta (T1) e comportamentos terapêuticos efetivos (T2) se relacionam com a discriminação dos sentimentos da terapeuta. O material ilustra que a observação dos sentimentos da terapeuta pode ajudar a detectar contingências problemáticas no relacionamento com o cliente e prevenir condutas terapêuticos ineficientes. Além disso, a discriminação adequada dos sentimentos que o cliente evoca na terapeuta pode ajudar na escolha de intervenções terapêuticas mais produtivas. Conclui-se que terapeutas devem cultivar uma atenção especial aos seus sentimentos, porque estes podem conter dicas sobre os problemas do cliente, podem esclarecer o que está ocorrendo na sessão e podem ajudar a atuar com sensibilidade.Palavras-chave: sentimentos, relação terapêutica, psicoterapia analítico funcional.Unisinos2015-07-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2015.82.0810.4013/ctc.2015.82.08Contextos Clínicos; v. 8 n. 2 (2015): Jul-Dez; 193-2001983-3482reponame:Contextos Clínicosinstname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2015.82.08/4977Dourado Santo, Rosânia AtaídeVandenberghe, Lucinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2015-12-23T17:41:45Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/8926Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicosPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/oaidfalcke@unisinos.br||periodicos@unisinos.br1983-34821983-3482opendoar:2015-12-23T17:41:45Contextos Clínicos - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
