Insight and Awareness in Experiential Therapy. Pascual-Leone, A. & Greenberg, L. S. Insight in psychotherapy., 2007.
Paper doi abstract bibtex Traditionally, insight has been used as a global term referring to a new change in consciousness. However, qualitatively different processes of insights can be understood as falling on a continuum from experience-near to experience-distant. Experience-near insight, emphasized by experiential therapies, involves symbolizing the emergence of a new experience as it occurs. Through lived experiences, the client "discovers" new ways of being by a variety of different processes. This felt discovery of new aspects of self is central to experiential therapies. In contrast, experience-distant insight involves conceptually considering one's experience from a bird's-eye view and often formulating an abstracted understanding of why one has a given experience. This chapter delineates a number of different processes subsumed under the label insight and explores how they function in therapeutic change. In doing so, we review the perspectives on insight offered within the humanistic tradition. We begin by summarizing briefly how past experiential therapists described insight and its role in change processes. Next, we elaborate different insight processes more fully. Awareness and experiential meta-awareness are the two types of experience-near insight discussed in detail in this chapter. They are contrasted with two kinds of more experience-distant insight: rational meta-awareness and conceptual linking. In short, the chapter contrasts the experiential forms of insight, which emphasize a lived experience, with the traditional psychodynamic conceptualization of insight, which emphasizes linking pieces of knowledge into conceptual formulations. In the final part of this chapter, we describe causal processes and clinical implications for facilitating experience-near insights as well as emerging research directions.
