Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Characteristics of the participants and the received interventions will be recorded through the use of assessment forms filled by therapists before and after therapy, and clients will complete outcome measures on psychological distress, life satisfaction, ambivalence in psychotherapy, family functioning, therapeutic alliance, and satisfaction with the treatment received.
This is the first project in Ecuador to propose a system for routine outcome monitoring in psychotherapy. It could contribute to develop normative trajectories of change and expected recovery curves in the future and to improve the quality of psychological treatments.

Study Groups

Helpseeking Ecuadorian adult and adolescent clients
The participants will be adolescent (11-17 years) and adult (\>18 years) clients presenting with common non-severe mental health problems who seek mental health services at the Centro de Psicología Aplicada. The CPA is an outpatient psychological service where students of the last semesters of the Clinical Psychology degree develop and practice their psychological care skills as co-therapists of professional clinical psychologists.
Psychological Intervention
The CPA provides outpatient psychological services to individuals: children, adolescents and adults, couples and families. At the CPA, care is carried out through the co-therapy model, which involves the participation of a professional clinical psychologist and a trainee. Psychotherapists with diverse theoretical and clinical backgrounds (mainly psychodynamic, cognitive, systemic and integrative), but a common constructivist approach, work in the center. The following elements are transversal in their practice: therapeutic alliance, healing environment, and a collaborative procedure between the client, the psychotherapist and the trainee co-therapist.
