ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to determine the core factors of the therapeutic relationship in mental health, and therefore, the basis of a successful therapeutic alliance. The source of data analyzed includes surveys of patient satisfaction and the study of the main causes of patient’s complaints. Communication skills, attitudes and manners emerge as essentials when it comes to satisfactory relationships. The failure of the therapeutic alliance arises when patients feel that they have been roughly or wrongly treated and, even more, when they perceive a lack of involvement or effort by the therapist. A model of inverted pyramids is postulate in order to describe the apparently divergent values of patients and therapists. These include knowledge-technical skills, attitudes-empathy, and forms-manners. Also, three paradoxes are described that summarize the main challenges in the current framework of the therapeutic relationships.RESUMENSe analizan los elementos que podrían considerarse nucleares en la relación entre profesionales y pacientes en el campo de la salud mental y el diseño de estrategias encaminadas a una exitosa alianza terapéutica. A partir de datos procedentes de encuestas en este ámbito y del estudio de los principales motivos de queja de los pacientes se pone de manifiesto la importancia de los aspectos relacionados con la comunicación y que radican en elementos formales y de actitud. Se condensa el fracaso de la relación terapéutica en un punto de no retorno en que el paciente percibe una suerte de «maltrato» formal con un escaso «esfuerzo» o implicación por parte del profesional. Se construye un posible modelo de pirámides invertidas en las respectivas jerarquías de valores de profesionales y pacientes para ilustrar el peso diferencial que comportan los elementos de la tríada trato-formas, actitudes-habilidades empáticas y conocimientos-técnicas. Se sintetizan tres grandes paradojas que resumen las fisuras actuales en la relación terapéutica: hiperespecialización de Servicios para proporcionar elementos básicos de escucha y calidez; demanda de atención centrada en problemas cotidianos o aparentemente banales (patología «menor» o adaptativa) pero que requieren de mayor tiempo y habilidades que los trastornos graves; establecimiento de un vínculo firme y provisión de sintonía, proximidad y empatía como pilares de una buena relación terapéutica pero que asimismo entrañan el riesgo de dependencia y la dificultad en el establecimiento de límites.

Objective: The aim of this review was to examine the level of evidence supporting the assumed link between a positive therapeutic alliance among patients and case managers and effective outcome for patients with a mental illness who are managed in community mental health services. Method: MedLine, PsychINFO and Social Sciences Index search of articles from 1986 to 2001 returned 84 articles and two texts. Inclusion criteria were the use of validated measures and relevance to psychiatry and community case management. Results: A definite correlation exists in the psychotherapy literature between the therapeutic relationship and improved outcomes, with its potential as a prognostic indicator acknowledged. Attempts to apply the concept to patients outside the field of psychotherapy have been slow, although expansion of the concept to other forms of change-inducing therapy was a current trend. Issues of definition, quantification and measurement of the relationship caused rigorous debate in the literature. Case management research demonstrating the importance of the therapeutic relationship and ‘goodness-of-fit’ between patients and case managers was sparse with no published Australian studies. Conclusions: The level of evidence supporting the link between the therapeutic alliance of patients with mental illness and improved outcomes although sparse is encouraging. It indicates the potential of the alliance as a predictor of outcome for patients engaged in case management services in community mental health. Research to determine the role and effectiveness of the alliance in the patient/case manager dyad is needed to define this potential. Effectiveness of clinical practice in the case management field could be enhanced if research findings confirmed the genesis and value of the alliance in case management. Focus on relationship strategies as a clinical tool gives the clinician and service provider a potential vehicle for promoting partnerships with the seriously mentally ill person in managing their illness and optimizing their strengths in the community.

Abstract Patients realize how care was provided, but it is difficult for them to know when expectations were reasonable or when unwanted outcomes were caused by inadequate care or special circumstances. Research in the field shows that satisfaction is related to the perception of technical skills, intelligence and qualification of medical staff, but, in general, the perception of interpersonal communication skills of medical staff is more important. A number of studies have shown that patients tend to be more satisfied with the care provided if the behaviour of the service provider (doctor, nurse, etc.) “conforms” their expectations. Communication skills, empathy, the care offered, attention to personal issues influences how a patient will evaluate the care received.(1,2,3)

Resumen: La masculinidad es una construcción sociocultural cambiante y heterogénea en la que intervienen significativamente el contexto, la cultura, la clase, la etnia, la edad, la familia, la escuela, los medios de comunicación, la política, entre otras. Sin embargo, existe una expresión dominante de masculinidad en Occidente, que se funda en la idea de que los hombres son violentos, hipersexuales y superiores a las mujeres. El presente artículo analiza los núcleos que constituyen dicha masculinidad, siendo aspectos como la negación de emociones, sus efectos en la salud mental de los hombres, la hipersexualidad masculina y la violencia contra las mujeres, el rol proveedor económico y el lugar de los hombres en las actividades del cuidado.Palabras clave: Masculinidad hegemónica, ideologías de género, hipersexualidad, homofobia, heteronormatividadEasier Said than Done. Gender Ideologies Underpinning Hegemonic MasculinitiesAbstract: Masculinity is a changing and diverse socio-culture construction and heterogeneous in which the context, culture, class, ethnicity, age, family, school, media, politics, among others aspects are involved significantly. However, there is a dominant expression of masculinity in the West that is based on the idea that men are violent, hyper sexual and superior to women. The present article analyzes the core that comprised such masculinity, being aspects like the denial of emotions, their effects on the mental health of men, the male hyper sexuality and violence against women, the economic provider role and the place of men in care activities..Key Words: Hegemonic masculinity, gender ideologies, hypersexuality, homophobia, heteronormativity

Hospital reimbursements are linked to patient satisfaction surveys, which are directly related to interpersonal communication between provider and patient. In today’s health care environment, interactions are challenged by diversity — Limited English proficient (LEP) patients, medical interpreters, International Medical Graduate (IMG) physicians, nurses, and support staff. Accent modification training for health care professionals can improve patient satisfaction and reduce adverse events. Surveys were conducted with medical interpreters and trainers of medical interpreting programs to determine the existence and support for communication skills training, particularly accent modification, for interpreters and non-native English speaking medical professionals. Results of preliminary surveys suggest the need for these comprehensive services. 60.8% believed a heavy accent, poor diction, or a different dialect contributed to medical errors or miscommunication by a moderate to significant degree. Communication programs should also include cultural competency training to optimize patient care outcomes. Examples of strategies for training are included.

German Version

Objective: There are presently no instruments available in German language to assess the therapeutic relationship in psychiatric care. This study validates the German version of the Scale to Assess the Therapeutic Relationship in Community Mental Health Care (D-STAR). Method: 460 persons with severe mental illness and 154 clinicians who had participated in a multicenter RCT testing a discharge planning intervention completed the D-STAR. Psychometric properties were established via item analysis, analyses of missing values, internal consistency, and confirmatory factor analysis. Furthermore, convergent validity was scrutinized via calculating correlations of the D-STAR scales with two measures of treatment satisfaction. Results: As in the original English version, fit indices of a 3-factor model of the therapeutic relationship were only moderate. However, the feasibility and internal consistency of the D-STAR was good, and correlations with other measures suggested reasonable convergent validity. Conclusions: The psychometric properties of the D-STAR are acceptable. Its use can be recommended in German-speaking countries to assess the therapeutic relationship in both routine care and research.
