Psychotherapy Changes: Part 2
Change included the students' own ratings, judgments
by independent experts, MMPI scores, and clinicians'
evaluations of their clients' progress. Favorable outcomes
were most prevalent among clients whose therapists
actively provided them with information, encouragement,
and opinions.' The therapists whose clients improved
were those who made special efforts to facilitate
the discussion of problems, focused on the here and
now rather than on early-childhood experiences, and encouraged
the client to seek new social activities. Thus,
the personal qualities of the therapist clearly are a very
important factor in therapeutic process.
If psychological therapies are-effective in treating
specific clinical problems, an important question is,
Which events in therapy sessions are the active ingredients?
There is evidence that what goes on early in the patient-therapist relationship
may be an important predictor of outcome. Although a patient who has an early
negative reaction to his or her therapist may eventually be able to work
productively with the therapist, a successful therapeutic outcome is more likely if
the reaction is warm and positive (Frances, and others, 2005). One factor in
positive or negative reactions to the therapy situation is the patient's first
impression of the therapist. Which of these therapists would you prefer to go to?
