Previous laboratory studies have explored the importance of participants adopting an immersed or distanced perspective in the analysis of their experiences. These studies concluded that distancing allows analyzing emotions in a healthier way and immersion leads to higher vulnerability. However, in psychotherapy, the relationship between these perspectives and clinical change has been less investigated. The present study aims to contribute to understanding how these variables evolve during psychotherapy and also to explore the therapist’s contributions to this process. This study analyzes a good-outcome case of emotion-focused therapy for depression through two observational measures of psychotherapy process: the measure of immersed and distanced speech – which identifies client’s adoption of an immersed or distanced stance when talking about their problems – and the helping skills system – which identifies therapist’s interventions focused on exploration, insight or action. Results showed a decrease of immersed speech and an increase of distanced speech along the process, with a higher frequency of exploration skills preceding both types of client’s speech. Finally, the evolution of therapist’s and client’s speech showed a reasonable flexibility of therapeutic dialogue throughout the sessions, in particular due to the evolution of client variables (evidencing a higher diversity of behaviors).

There are four groups of indicators influenced on the performance of retail commercial enterprise. They are characteristics of the store (retail space), store location, transport and pedestrian accessibility of the store and the attitude of buyers to the shop (customer metrics). The present paper is dealt with the influence of the fourth group- «customer metrics ". The authors of this article consider such factors of this group as: the work of salespeople and other staff; the internal atmosphere of commercial enterprise; the security area of the enterprise location; brand awareness; additional services. The article describes the application of the proposed approach to the assessment and change forecast of turnover depending on the studied factors using the method of fuzzy logic by the example of the results of such shops as "Ocean" and "Pervomayskiy", retail outlets "Gastronom" format "supermarket", Izhevsk. The authors define term-sets and membership functions for each client criterion. The rule base is also developed. The presence of aggregate functions is implemented by Mamdani logical inference, which uses the min-max composition of fuzzy sets. The adequacy of the proposed mathematical model is performed on the example of results forecasting of investigated stores activities "retail network " Gastronom " format "supermarket" (Izhevsk, Russia) using the software Matlab, and then comparing the calculated value of the average purchase with actual. Monitored client performance on the basis of a network "Gastronom" has also allowed the authors to develop recommendations for shops as described in this article.

This speaker will discuss the relationship between therapist fidelity (competence/adherence) and outcome for family therapy for schizophrenia. Some of her research will be presented linking various aspects of therapist performance to dropout rates, consumer satisfaction, and a host of client variables. She will also address how Culturally Informed Therapy for Schizophrenia (CIT-S) is being evaluated at the University of Miami, including outcome measures and timeframes. Most importantly, she will present preliminary outcome data comparing CIT-S to a treatment as usual, psychoeducation-only condition. Implications, limitations, and future directions for research and treatment will also be discussed. An interactive format will be utilized to field a discussion with the audience on how techniques of CIT-S can be used in other contexts outside of work with families coping with schizophrenia. Depending on time and interest, additional role-plays will be conducted further demonstrating CIT-S techniques.
