Abstract

Cosa fa di una “relazione” una relazione che cura? La ricerca sul funzionamento e l’efficacia della psicoterapia, in termini sia clinici (effectiveness) sia statistici (efficacy), continua a rappresentare uno dei temi principali della letteratura scientifica. Inizialmente studiata solo in ambito psicoanalitico, negli ultimi anni la relazione terapeutica è stata approfondita anche da altre prospettive teoriche. Alleanza terapeutica, azione terapeutica, relazione reale, transfert, risposte emotive del terapeuta, caratteristiche del paziente,
caratteristiche del terapeuta, attaccamento, sistemi motivazionali interpersonali: sono questi alcuni degli ingredienti attivi della situazione clinica. Oggi tutti concordano nell’affermare che la relazione terapeutica è il prodotto dell’incontro tra due soggettività, quella del paziente e quella del terapeuta. La diade terapeutica si ritrova costantemente a co-costruire lo spazio della cura in un’ottica bi-personale. In questo contributo verranno presentati e discussi gli aspetti principali che caratterizzano la relazione terapeutica in una prospettiva d’integrazione tra ricerca empirica e pratica clinica.
