Resumen
Although there is a growing body of research in both cross-cultural issues in psychotherapy and in the client’s perspective, little is known about differences or similarities in the way clients from different cultures, particularly those from different nations, subjectively experience therapy. The present study addressed this gap through a qualitative analysis of interviews with former therapy clients in Argentina and the United States. The researchers used a consensual qualitative research (CQR; C. E. Hill, B. J. Thompson, & E. N. Williams, 1997, A guide to conducting consensual qualitative research, The Counseling Psychologist, Vol. 25, pp. 517–572; C. E. Hill, S. Knox, B. J. Thompson, E. N. Williams, S. A. Hess, & N. Ladany, 2005, Consensual qualitative research: An update, Journal of Counseling Psychology, Vol. 52, pp. 196–205) methodology and provide illustrative examples from the raw transcripts. Among other differences, Argentine and U.S. participants differed in their experience of the therapy setting, the interventions their therapists used, and in the types of change they reported to result from therapy. Also notable, Argentine participants spoke a great deal more about change than U.S. participants. Results are preliminary, but provide implications for the adaptation of treatments to different cultures and for the cross-cultural validity of researchers’ and policymakers’ current definitions of treatment efficacy.
