Broadening the evidentiary basis for clinical practice guidelines: Recommendations from qualitative psychotherapy researchers
To improve the provision of psychotherapy, many countries have now established clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of specific disorders and mental health concerns.

This said, there has been growing interest in incorporating qualitative research in guideline de…
The right to dream: A cross‐sectional look at poverty alleviation programs
Studies on social programs reveal the absence of a cross‐sectional perspective capable of identifying common aspects that improve the living conditions of their participants while also contributing to poverty alleviation. To detect such elements, we examined the transformations in the experiences and meanings associated with poverty and its alleviation by conducting semistructured interviews and focus groups with participants and intervention tea…
Protocol of Application and Phenomenological Exploration of Body Mapping in Transgender Population: An Art-Based Research Method
This article is a methodological proposal for Body Mapping application in transgender population framed by a phenomenological approach and aimed at exploring the implicit and pre-reflective embodied cues of the experience of discordance between the felt body (the body I am) and the objective body ('the body I have') that opens a space in which words do not have easy access to. In order to describe our protocol of phenomenological exploration and …
Experiencias de ayuda psicológica y psicoterapéutica de jóvenes LGBT sobrevivientes a procesos de suicidio

The article presents a proposal to conceptualize and address care in social policies from a comprehensive perspective, based on the community praxis of psychosocial teams. Results came from evaluating a care intervention with 35 participa…
Adolescence and Suicide: Subjective Construction of the Suicidal Process in Young Gay and Lesbian Chileans
The association between suicide risk and sexual minority status can be understood from the perspective of the social determinants of health, an approach that requires the development of culturally sensitive knowledge. The aim of this study was to characterize young gay and lesbian people's subjective construction of their experience of having lived and survived a suicidal process. Qualitative interviews were conducted and analyzed as products bas…
Acute Mental Discomfort Associated with Suicide Behavior in a Clinical Sample of Patients with Affective Disorders: Ascertaining Critical Variables Using Artificial Intelligence Tools
This study defines the interactions among a group of variables associated with suicidal ideation and behavior. By using these variables, it may be possible to create a quick and easy-to-use tool. As such, psychotherapeutic interventions could be designed to mitigate the impact of these variables on the emotional state of individuals, thereby reducing eventual risk of suicide. Such interventions may reinforce psychological well-being, feelings of …
Psychotherapy as a discursive genre: A dialogic approach
This study seeks to display therapeutic dialogue as a discursive genre. By using dialogic discourse analysis, the psychotherapeutic dialogue present in a set of excerpts from a time-limited psychotherapy is analyzed. This micro analytical methodology makes it possible to account for both the dialogal and the dialogic level of therapeutic conversation. The results show the linguistics markers employed by the participants and the voices in their sp…

Sin embargo, esta relevancia no ha sido acompañada de una línea correlativa en i…
