Abstract

Process research in psychology deals with phenomena that occur during therapy, that account for the efficacy of a psychological treatment. Among these phenomena, the -- eminently verbal-- behaviour of the therapist is the most critical factor to explaining clinical change because it is the therapist who is responsible for shaping problematic behaviour in the sessions (Kohlenberg & Tsai, 1991). The clinical interaction between client and therapist has been analysed from different theoretical perspectives, using observational methods to categorise the verbal behaviour occurring in the session. (Hill, 1978; Stiles, 1987; Callaghan, 1998). However, these systems have the limitation of only providing a descriptive classification of behaviour. (Rodríguez-Morejón et al., 2018). Improving on earlier systems (Froján-Parga & RuizSancho, 2013), the aim of this study is to introduce a new Category System (ACOVEO System) that has tremendous advantages over earlier ones and which circumvents the limitations typical of other categorical systems. Its development was carried out in several phases that included discussions with psychologists, and the subsequent recategorization of clinical sessions. This allowed for inter-rater concordance analysis using Cohen's Kappa coefficient, to reach a minimum criterion of 0.70. The new system is noteworthy for its functionality and ease of use, representing a further step in the construction of a valid and reliable tool with which to approach the processes that make changes in therapy possible.
