    (2021) Tomicic, Alemka; Martinez, Claudio; Rosenbaum, Catalina; Aguayo, Francisco; Leyton, Fanny; Rodriguez, Juliana; Galvez, Constanza; Lagazzi, Iside
    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 based on life events. In the participants' accounts, we identified hostile contexts associated with suicide, trajectories associated with gay/lesbian identification processes, and milestones related to victimization experiences as part of the intentionality and rationality of suicide.

    Beyond the outcomes: generic change indicators in a video-feedback intervention with a depressed mother and her baby: a single case study
    (SPR ITALIA, 2022) Sieverson, Catalina; Olhaberry, Marcia; Duarte, Javiera; Moran, Javier; Costa, Stefanella; Jose Leon, M.; Valenzuela, Sofia; Leyton, Fanny; Honorato, Carolina; Muzard, Antonia
    Child and dyadic psychotherapy have been scarcely investigated from the psychotherapy process research perspective. Thus, content and mechanisms related to therapeutic change have been overlooked by research.

    The role of mentalization in a video-feedback intervention: a case study of a mother-infant dyad with depressive symptomatology
    (2025) Morán Kneer, Javier; Sieverson, Catalina; Olhaberry Huber, Marcia; Costa Cordella Satefanella; Honorato, Carolina; Muzard Costa, Antonia María; Leyton, Fanny; León, María José; García Bravo, Nataly; Arredondo Guerrero, Kathya; Olivares García, Stefania; Garay Contreras, Camila; Alvarado Quiroz, Valentina
    This single-case longitudinal study examined changes in therapist and patient mentalization over five video-feedback sessions with a mother experiencing postpartum depression. Using qualitative and observational coding, the study analyzed the moment-to-moment evolution of mentalization within therapeutic interactions. The intervention assessed both therapist and patient mentalization, identifying three core themes related to the therapeutic process. Video-feedback contributed to increased maternal mentalization, fostering a more accurate perception of the infant’s needs and emotional states. Improvements in maternal mentalization were associated with reduced anxiety and self-doubt, greater sensitivity, and enhanced attachment behaviors. The participant also reported decreased depressive symptoms and greater confidence in interacting with her infant. Findings indicate that video-feedback provides a structured and reflective space for mothers to observe, interpret, and regulate their caregiving behaviors through guided self-observation and therapeutic scaffolding. These results underscore the role of video-feedback in enhancing mentalization within mother-infant psychotherapy, offering a promising intervention for addressing postpartum depression-related caregiving difficulties. While findings highlight its potential to bridge the gap between perceived and actual caregiving behaviors, further research is needed to examine its mechanisms of change, long-term impact, and clinical applicability.
