  • Asiakkaan persoonallisuuden piirteiden yhteys masennukseen ja psykoterapian tehokkuuteen masennuksen hoidossa 
    Mäntylä, Paula (2019)
    The goal of this review is to show the possible connections between depressive disorders and the Big Five personality traits. Also, the focus is to examine the personality traits which have a possible influence on the outcome of psychotherapy when treated depression. Research shows that especially Neuroticism is connected to depression. Other personality traits connected to depression are low Conscientiousness and low Extraversion. Personality traits which influence the positive outcome of the treatment are Conscientiousness, Extraversion and Agreeableness. The personality profile connected to depression seems to be an obstacle in the treatment of depression. More research about the real connection sizes between depression and personality traits is needed to help the clinicians to offer the best treatment for patients suffering from depression.
  • TERAPEUTTISEN ALLIANSSIN ROOLI MUUTOKSEN MEKANISMEISSA PSYKOTERAPIASSA 
    Iso-Kokkila, Eero (2019)
    Understanding the mechanisms of change in psychotherapy is still a work in progress. More profound understanding of these mechanisms of change would provide research-based guidelines for developing psychotherapies that are more effective and efficient. Psychotherapy research has found multiple active ingredients (specific techniques, therapeutic alliance, positive expectations, etc.) but understanding the way how these elements lead to the positive therapeutic change is unknown. Mechanisms of change in psychotherapies have been attempted to establish by researching the effects of therapy-specific techniques, but the results have been incoherent. Earlier psychotherapy research has found out that common factors that exist in all forms of psychotherapy have a larger effect on effectiviness of the treatment than the specific techniques have. Especially therapeutic alliance has been noticed to be a largest single factor in effectiveness of psychotherapies. In my thesis I present The Common Factor model of psychotherapy with a focus on therapeutic alliance. I also consider the requirements for finding mechanisms of change in psychotherapy. Lastly, I outline the current research on how therapeutic alliance might play a role in mechanisms of change in psychotherapies.
