This study examined the relationship of patient gender and outcome for two forms (interpretive, supportive) of short-term, individual psychotherapy. Female and male patients (N=89) were randomly assigned to either interpretive or supportive therapy. Outcome was measured in the areas of depression, anxiety, and general symptomatic distress. A significant interaction effect between patient gender and form of therapy was found for measures of depression and general symptomatic distress at post-therapy. Male patients had better outcome in interpretive therapy than in supportive therapy. Female patients had better outcome in supportive therapy than in interpretive therapy. The findings suggest that patient gender may be differentially influential with different forms of short-term therapy.
本研究考察了短期个别心理治疗的两种形式（解释性、支持性）与患者性别及治疗结果之间的关系。将89名女性和男性患者随机分配到解释性治疗组或支持性治疗组。治疗结果通过抑郁、焦虑和一般症状困扰等方面进行衡量。在治疗后对抑郁和一般症状困扰的测量中，发现患者性别与治疗形式之间存在显著的交互作用。男性患者接受解释性治疗的效果优于支持性治疗。女性患者接受支持性治疗的效果优于解释性治疗。研究结果表明，患者性别在不同形式的短期治疗中可能具有不同的影响。
