Symbolic-experiential therapists have been criticized for not adequately operationalizing symbolic theory and empirically validating their methods. Although pioneering researchers have noted that the task of studying and evaluating humanistic therapies is complex, we agree that all therapists need to be held accountable for their interventions. In this article we identify the core variables underlying symbolic-experiential therapy that emerged from a research study using grounded theory. The inductively derived conceptual framework for symbolic-experiential therapy included: (a) Generating an interpersonal set; (b) creating a suprasystem; (c) stimulating a symbolic context; (d) activating stress within the system; (e) creating symbolic experience; and (f) moving out of the system.
象征体验疗法因未能充分将象征理论操作化并对其方法进行实证验证而受到批评。尽管开创性的研究人员指出，研究和评估人本主义疗法的任务很复杂，但我们认同所有治疗师都需要对其干预措施负责。在本文中，我们确定了一项基于扎根理论的研究中所呈现的象征体验疗法背后的核心变量。通过归纳得出的象征体验疗法概念框架包括：(a) 生成人际场域；(b) 创建超系统；(c) 激发象征情境；(d) 在系统内激活压力；(e) 创建象征体验；以及 (f) 脱离系统。
