    (Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado de Asturias, 2021) Martínez Pampliega, Ana; Herrero Lázaro, Marta; Cormenzana, Susana; Corral, Susana; Sanz, Mireia; Merino, Laura; Iriarte Elejalde, Leire; Ochoa de Alda, Íñigo; Alcañiz, Leire; Alvarez, Irati
    Background: There is much controversy about the impact of joint physical custody on child symptomatology in the context of high interparental conflict. In this study we analyzed child symptomatology with person-centered methodology, identifying differential profiles, considering post-divorce custody, parental symptomatology, and coparenting variables. We examined the association between these profiles and child symptomatology, as well as the mediating role of parenting in that association. Method: The participants were 303 divorced or separated Spanish parents with high interparental conflict. We used the study of latent profiles and the INDIRECT procedure in Mplus. We also controlled for the variables age and number of children, new partners, frequency of the relationship with the ex-partner, time elapsed since the divorce, and gender of the parent. Results: From the parents´ perspective, the profile characterized by low parental symptomatology and high coparenting, regardless of the type of custody, was related to children exhibiting less somatic, anxious, and depressive symptomatology, and aggressive behavior. The mediating role of parenting was also identified. Conclusions: Parental symptomatology, coparenting, and parenting are essential for understanding post-divorce child symptomatology and the study highlights importance of person-centered multidimensional models.

    Does the therapeutic alliance process explain the results of the Egokitzen post-divorce intervention program?
    (Frontiers Media SA, 2024) Alvarez, Irati; Herrero Lázaro, Marta; Martínez Pampliega, Ana
    Objective: The objective of this study was to explain the relationship between therapeutic alliance and the changes observed in the parents’ psychological symptomatology after participation in the Egokitzen program, analyzing the mediating role of emotion regulation. Methods: The study involved 117 divorced parents and 40 therapists. Results: It has been observed that the early development and maintenance of the therapeutic alliance influence the parents’ psychological symptomatology after the intervention, through emotion regulation. Conclusion: The study reinforce the role of the therapeutic alliance as a determining factor in the success of group interventions. This effect has turned out to be indirect through emotion regulation, highlighting the importance of emotional management.

    The impact of emotion regulation on the establishment of the therapeutic alliance in post-divorce group intervention: a multilevel approach
    (Public Library of Science, 2024-10) Alvarez, Irati; Herrero Lázaro, Marta; Martínez Pampliega, Ana
    Objective The present study focuses on the impact of emotion regulation on the establishment of the therapeutic alliance in a context of post-divorce group intervention. Method The study involved 177 divorced parents and 60 therapists and was developed through multilevel path analysis. Results The data showed an association between emotion regulation and therapeutic alliance across the difficulties of adaptation to divorce, although the results were different from the perspective of the participant and of the therapist and between the individual and the group level. Conclusion The study highlights the relevant role of emotion regulation in post-divorce adaptation and in the success of the establishment of the therapeutic alliance, while clarifying the formation of the alliance from the viewpoints of the individual and the therapist. The study also highlights the need to understand the alliance at both the individual and the group level, in order to design therapeutic interventions.

    Is the Egokitzen post-divorce intervention program effective in the community context?
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-10) Martínez Pampliega, Ana; Herrero Lázaro, Marta; Sanz, Mireia; Corral, Susana; Cormenzana, Susana; Merino, Laura; Iriarte Elejalde, Leire; Ochoa de Alda, Íñigo; Alcañiz, Leire; Alvarez, Irati
    Background: Evidence-based postdivorce intervention programs, aimed at promoting childreńs psychological adjustment, are scarce internationally. In Spain, the Egokitzen program has been established its effectiveness in the context of a university laboratory, but there is no evidence of its effectiveness when implemented from a community context. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Egokitzen program in the perception of externalizing and internalizing child symptomatology, when delivered by community-based agencies. Method: 372 parents with children under the age of 12 participated in a quasi-experimental pre-post intervention approach with a wait-list comparison group and two follow-up measures at 6 and 12 months. 270 were part of the experimental group (EG) and 112 of the control group (CG). The postdivorce intervention consisted of the Egokitzen program. The following variables were measured through the information provided by the parents: childhood symptomatology (somatization, aggressiveness, anxiety/depression; Child Behavior Checklist, CBCL), parental mental health symptomatology (anxiety, depression, and interpersonal sensitivity; Symptoms Checklist SCL-90), and parenting (inductive, indulgent, and rigid styles; Scale of Rules and Demands. Parents's versión, ENE-P). Results: The intervention program had an indirect effect on childhood symptomatology and a direct effect on parental symptomatology and parenting. The mediating role of parental symptomatology on childhood symptomatology was confirmed through the direct effect of the program on parental symptomatology. Despite the effect on parental patterns, they did not play a mediating role in childhood symptomatology. Conclusions: The Egokitzen program seems to be effective in the community context and, according to the parents, could reduce their children's symptomatology indirectly through the reduction of parental symptomatology. At longitudinal level, in the intervention group, it is observed that the results obtained after participation in the Egokitzen program were maintained and even increased at 6 and 12 months.

    Measuring perceptions of the therapeutic alliance in individual, family, and group therapy from a systemic perspective: structural validity of the SOFTA-s
    (Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2021-06) Alvarez, Irati; Herrero Lázaro, Marta; Martínez Pampliega, Ana; Escudero, Valentín
    This study examined the multidimensional structure of the client and therapist versions of the self-report measure, System for Observing Family Therapy Alliances (SOFTA-s; Friedlander, Escudero, & Heatherington, Therapeutic alliances in couple and family therapy: An empirically informed guide to practice. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association, 2006) across three distinct therapeutic modalities (individual, family, group). Specifically, we investigated whether the originally theorized model of four first-order factors (Engagement in the Therapeutic Process, Emotional Connection with the Therapist, Safety within the Therapeutic System, and Shared Sense of Purpose within the Family) would be reflected in a second-order factor (Therapeutic Alliance). The sample included 105 therapists who worked with 858 clients (165 individuals, 233 families, and 43 groups) in several Spanish community agencies. To control for dependent data, we used multilevel modeling. Results of the multilevel confirmatory factor analyses showed adequate reliabilities, fit indices, and factor loadings across the three therapy contexts for both versions of the measure (client and therapist). Adequate measurement invariance was also found across respondents and therapy modalities. Taken together, these results support the structural validity of the SOFTA-s, a brief and flexible self-report alliance measure that can be used reliably in clinical practice as well as in studies of individual, family, and group therapy.

    Programa de intervención postdivorcio: Evaluación del proceso a través de la alianza terapéutica
    (Universidad de Deusto, 2021-01-22) Alvarez, Irati; Martínez Pampliega, Ana; Facultad de Psicología y Educación; Programa de Doctorado en Psicología por la Universidad de Deusto
    En los últimos años en el ámbito internacional se han desarrollado estudios sobre la eficacia de los programas de intervención post-divorcio, pero a nivel nacional solamente el programa Egokitzen cuenta con estudios de eficacia y eficiencia. Otro de los esfuerzos importantes en el ámbito de las intervenciones terapéuticas se ha centrado en analizar los mecanismos explicativos de la eficacia de las intervenciones. Entre las variables más estudiadas se encuentra la alianza terapéutica y se ha revelado como una variable de proceso necesaria para comprender la eficacia de las intervenciones. No obstante, a pesar de que la literatura subraya la importancia de la alianza terapéutica como factor clave para el éxito de las intervenciones terapéuticas, no existen estudios en los que se haya analizado la alianza terapéutica en un programa de intervención grupal post-divorcio. Por todo ello, el objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral consiste en comprender el papel de la alianza terapéutica en el programa de intervención grupal post-divorcio Egokitzen. Para poder dar respuesta a este objetivo, la presente tesis doctoral está formada por tres estudios empíricos. En el primer estudio, se analizó la validez estructural de la escala SOFTA-s. En el segundo estudio empírico, se realizó un análisis multinivel del impacto de la regulación emocional en el establecimiento de la alianza terapéutica, teniendo en cuenta la percepción del paciente y del terapeuta. En el tercer estudio, se analizó la influencia del proceso de la alianza terapéutica en la eficacia del programa Egokitzen, lo cual se realizó analizando la sintomatología de los progenitores, y considerando la regulación emocional como variable mediadora. Los resultados de la presente tesis doctoral han contribuido a comprender los mecanismos subyacentes en el programa de intervención grupal post-divorcio Egokitzen, al mismo tiempo que ha permitido dotar de validez estructural a un instrumento muy valioso para la evaluación de la alianza terapéutica.
