A guide to conducting a task analysis of psychotherapeutic change
TLDR
Task analysis as mentioned in this paper is a method for studying the process of change, which consists of two main phases: a discovery-oriented phase based on rational-empirical model building and a hypothesis testing.Abstract:
The epistemological and methodological underpinnings of task analysis are discussed and the steps and concrete procedures for its implementation are described and exemplified in a task analysis of the resolution of unfinished business. Task analysis, a method for studying the process of change, consists of two main phases: a discovery-oriented phase based on rational–empirical model building and a validation phase based on hypothesis testing. The goals of the approach are to (a) build an observationally based model of how therapeutic change occurs for a particular type of affective–cognitive problem, (b) validate the model of change, and (c) relate the process of change to outcome. Benefits and strengths of the approach are presented and factors that have impeded the use of this approach in the study of change processes are discussed.read more

Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy: The Dynamics of Emotion, Love, and Power
TL;DR: Greenberg and Goldman as discussed by the authors explored the foundations of emotionally focused therapy for couples and expanded its framework to focus more intently on the development of the self and the relationship system through the promotion of self-soothing and othersoothing; to deal with unmet needs both from the client's adulthood and childhood; and to work more explicitly with emotions, specifically fear, anxiety, shame, power, joy, and love.

Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
TL;DR: For centuries knowledge meant proven knowledge, proven either by the power of the intellect or by the evidence of the senses as discussed by the authors. But the notion of proven knowledge was questioned by the sceptics more than two thousand years ago; but they were browbeaten into confusion by the glory of Newtonian physics.
