Résumé
Le Modèle de l’Assimilation est une approche qualitative et intégrative qui permet d’étudier les processus de changement qui se déroulent en cours de psychothérapie. Selon Stiles, ce modèle conçoit la personnalité des individus comme constituée de différentes voix ; le concept de voix est utilisé pour décrire les traces laissées par les expériences passées. En cours de psychothérapie, les voix problématiques sont progressivement intégrées dans la personnalité du patient. Les auteurs ont appliqué le Modèle de l’Assimilation à l’étude d’un cas clinique d’une thérapie psychodynamique limitée dans le temps de 34 séances. Ils ont choisi 8 séances qu’ils ont retranscrites et analysées en établissant des points de contact entre la théorie et le cas clinique. Les résultats sont présentés et discutés en termes d’évolution des voix centrales.
Abstract
The Assimilation Model is a qualitative and integrative approach that enables to study change processes that occur in psychotherapy. According to Stiles, this model conceives the individual’s personality as constituent of different voices ; the concept of voice is used to describe traces left by past experiences. During the psychotherapy, we can observe the progressive integration of the problematic voices into the patient’s personality. We applied the Assimilation Model to a 34-session-long case of an effective Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy. We’ve chosen eight sessions we transcribed and analyzed by establishing points of contact between the case and the theory. The results are presented and discussed in terms of the evolution of the main voices in the patient.

Resumo
O Modelo de Assimilação é uma abordagem qualitativa e integrativa que permite estudar os processos de mudança que ocorrem durante a psicoterapia. Segundo Stiles, este modelo vê a personalidade das pessoas como constituída de diferentes vozes; o conceito de voz é utilizado para descrever os traços deixados pelas experiências passadas. Durante a psicoterapia, as vozes problemáticas são progressivamente integradas à personalidade do cliente. Os autores aplicaram o Modelo de Assimilação ao estudo de caso clínico de uma terapia psicodinâmica limitada no tempo por um período de 34 sessões. Eles escolheram 8 sessões que foram transcritas e analisadas estabelecendo pontos comuns entre a teoria e o caso clínico. Os resultados são apresentados e discutidos no que diz respeito à evolução das vozes centrais.
