The associations between personal style of the therapist, empathy and theory of mind, have yet to be examined. This study analyzed the associations between personal style of the therapist, empathy and theory of mind among therapists, while considering the effect of their theoretical background and other contextual and individual variables. The study sample consisted of 152 Argentine therapists. Personal style and empathy were assessed through self-report questionnaires (Personal Style of the Therapist Questionnaire and Interpersonal Reactivity index, respectively), while theory of mind was evaluated with the Reading the Mind in the Eyes test. Cognitive empathy was associated with a broader attentional focus and higher emotional expressiveness, while affective empathy led to stronger commitment and a higher emotional impact of therapy on the therapist. In addition, psychoanalysts and cognitive behavioral therapists exhibited personal style of therapist differences in their spontaneity and emotional distance, and cognitive behavioral therapists showed higher levels of engagement. Resumen: El estilo personal del terapeuta se refiere a las disposiciones, rasgos y actitudes que los terapeutas exhiben en su práctica profesional. Las asociaciones entre estilo personal del terapeuta, empatía y teoría de la mente aún no han sido examinadas. Este estudio analizó las relaciones entre estilo personal del terapeuta, empatía-rasgo y teoría de la mente en psicoterapeutas, considerando la potencial influencia de su marco teórico y otras variables contextuales e individuales. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 152 psicoterapeutas argentinos. El estilo personal del terapeuta y la empatía se evaluaron a través de cuestionarios de autoinforme (Cuestionario de Estilo Personal del Terapeuta y el Índice de Reactividad Interpersonal, respectivamente), mientras que teoría de la mente se evaluó a través del test de Lectura de Mente en la Mirada. La empatía cognitiva se asoció a un foco atencional más amplió y mayor expresividad emocional, mientras que la empatía afectiva llevó a un mayor compromiso e impacto emocional de la terapia en el terapeuta. Adicionalmente, psicoanalistas y terapeutas cognitivo-conductuales exhibieron diferencias de estilo personal del terapeuta en la espontaneidad y distancia emocional y terapeutas cognitivo-conductuales mostraron mayores niveles de compromiso. 2023-05-23T18:03:23Z 2023-05-23T18:03:23Z 2023 Artículo Tabullo, Á.
