In this study the therapeutic process and microprocess are analyzed taking into consideration a specific paraverbal aspect (speech rate) present in patient and therapist's communication. More specifically, in this paper we aim to investigate the relationship between the speech rate of both patient and therapist with the linguistic aspects of their referential process as obtained by the IDAAP dictionaries, relating to three sessions belonging to different phases of the psychotherapy. The results show that there are many significant correlations between the considered values. These findings are interpreted as an expression of the alignment between patient and therapist which can be linked to the outcome of the psychotherapy.

Eight patients with anxiety disorders were provided ISTDP. Broad ranging results found that both clinician and patient symptom ratings were improved significantly. Beyond this self-reported interpersonal problems were markedly reduced and there was evidence of marked structural personality change as evidenced by ratings on the SWAP-200 instrument. We conclude that ISTDP therapy provided by trainees is efficacious bringing broad and in depth change to pathology that can perpetuate anxiety disorders and other psychiatric conditions.

Accordingly, the main aim of the present work is to focus on the formal features of TA in a good outcome STDP. We applied the Collaborative Interaction Scale ) to verbatim transcripts in order to track macro and micro evolution of TA while considering the interplay of both therapist and patient contributions. Data were analyzed in terms of TA general trend, TA climate onset and high impact session TA characteristics. Results sustain the STDP theory of technique ) concerning the general process, the onset features and patient therapist interplay from a TA perspective.
