    Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar la influencia de la orientación teórica del terapeuta sobre la producción narrativa del paciente. La narrativa terapéutica de Cathy con Carl Rogers, Arnold Lazarus and Everett Shostrom fue analizada en términos de tres dimensiones narrativas: coherencia estructural, complejidad del proceso y multiplicidad del contenido. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas en la producción narrativa total de Cathy obtenida con cada uno de los terapeutas. La complejidad del proceso registró diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los tres terapeutas solamente en la dimensión narrativa. La comparación entre los tres terapeutas mostró diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre Rogers y Shostrom pero no entre Rogers and Lazarus ni entre Lazarus and Shostrom. La puntuación más alta en la producción narrativa de Cathy fue obtenida con Carl Rogers. Los resultados sugieren que la orientación teórica del terapeuta influye en la producción narrativa en psicoterapia.

    This study aimed to explore the influence of the therapist�s theoretical orientation on patient�s narrative production. Cathy�s therapeutic narratives with Carl Rogers, Arnold Lazarus and Everett Shostrom were analyzed in terms of three narrative dimensions: structural coherence, process complexity and content multiplicity. Results showed statistically significant differences in scores of Cathy�s total narrative production depending on the therapist she was interacting with. Process complexity was the only narrative dimension that registered statistically significant differences between the three therapists. Comparison between the three therapists showed statistically significant differences between Rogers and Shostrom but neither between Rogers and Lazarus nor between Lazarus and Shostrom. Cathy�s highest narrative production scores were obtained with Carl Rogers. Results suggest that the therapist�s theoretical orientation influences the patient�s narrative production in psychotherapy.
