What we study​


The main focus of our current research work is to understand the development of the therapeutic collaboration throughout the therapy process of good, poor and dropout cases or samples, using the TCCS. Moreover, we have been developed case studies analyzing the therapeutic collaboration within significant events identified from the client's, the therapist's and/or the observer's perspectives. ​Recently, we introduced a psychophysiological component in our research program, aiming to articulate biological and psychological processes in the study of an effective therapeutic collaboration.

     1)      Therapeutic collaboration and psychological process variables: focusing on the interpersonal psychological processes involved in the therapeutic conversation, we aim to explicate how the therapeutic collaboration develops, and how it is maintained and restored in the context of the therapeutic conversation, over the course of the therapy;

   2)   Therapeutic collaboration and psychophysiological variable: based on the biological framework of the interpersonal verbal and non-verbal interactions, we aim to describe the synchrony between the therapeutic collaboration and the psychophysiological processes, as well as to identify the psychophysiological markers of the productive therapeutic collaboration.
