Samenvatting
De afgelopen vijftig jaar aan ontwikkelingen in de partnerrelatietherapie heeft een rijk palet aan empirisch getoetste technieken opgeleverd, afkomstig uit verschillende scholen. Hoewel er over specifieke relatietherapeutische interventies meerdere systematische overzichten en analyses zijn gepubliceerd, is er nog geen literatuur beschikbaar over de universele veranderingsdimensies achter die specifieke technieken. Kennis van de gemeenschappelijke gebieden waarin verandering optreedt, zou beginnende therapeuten in staat stellen om op een geïntegreerde manier kennis over meerdere therapievormen op te doen. Het doel van dit onderzoek is daarom het identificeren van de technieken die in interventie-onderzoek over partnerrelatietherapie worden gebruikt en het categoriseren van de veranderingsdimensies daarvan. We hebben 40 artikelen over relatie-interventies bekeken, afkomstig uit 16 vakbladen, en vonden daarin 111 technieken. De vijf therapeutische veranderingsdimensies, te weten gedrag, cognitie, emotie, gehechtheid, en holistisch, werden gecategoriseerd op basis van integratie van de gemeenschappelijke factoren van de technieken. Om het universele karakter van de veranderingsdimensies te kunnen bevestigen, werden de geïdentificeerde technieken geclassificeerd onder de vijf dimensies, en dat gebeurde met behulp van een stemmingsprocedure.
