Résumé
Quels mécanismes soutiennent les effets bénéfiques d’une psychothérapie? Les développements conceptuels et empiriques récents des thérapies basées sur la mentalisation dégagent des facteurs spécifiques et communs aux effets thérapeutiques en y intégrant la notion de confiance épistémique essentielle à la généralisation de l’effet bénéfique. Cette forme de confiance engendre l’ouverture à apprendre de notre expérience. Ces développements conceptuels entraînent de profondes modifications quant à la manière d’appréhender les mécanismes sous-jacents à l’amélioration thérapeutique. Dans l’article, nous proposons trois systèmes de communications susceptibles de générer l’effet bénéfique de la psychothérapie. Leur présentation forme le coeur du présent article.

Abstract
Which mechanisms underlie a positive outcome in psychotherapy? Recent conceptual and empirical developments of the mentalization-based therapy emphasize the specific and common factors that contribute to the therapeutic outcome, integrating the concept of epistemic trust as critical to the generalization of therapeutic effects. Epistemic trust rekindles one’s capacity to learn from experience, by opening one’s mind to other minds. These conceptual developments bear consequences in the way to apprehend the mechanisms underlying therapeutic benefits. In the current article, we propose to delineate the three systems of therapeutic communication, which may foster positive outcomes in psychotherapy.
