A study of New Zealand clients' expectations of psychotherapy was conducted using the Psychotherapy Questionnaire (PQ). The PQ was administered to 141 New Zealand clients attending their first appointment with a clinical psychologist. The New Zealand clients' expectations were compared to previous research using a sample of USA clients who also completed the PQ prior to their first visit with a therapist. Those differences between the NZ and USA samples were consistent with previous research comparing the expectations of non-American samples. In general the NZ sample expected to be more passive in therapy than the USA sample and did not expect to have to discuss difficult or uncomfortable topics. Despite these differences there were suggestions that NZ and USA clients may have more similarities than differences with regard to their expectations about psychotherapy.
使用心理治疗问卷（PQ）对新西兰客户对心理治疗的期望进行了一项研究。PQ被施用于141名首次预约临床心理学家的新西兰客户。将新西兰客户的期望与之前的研究进行比较，之前的研究样本是美国客户，他们在首次拜访治疗师之前也完成了PQ。新西兰和美国样本之间的这些差异与之前比较非美国样本期望的研究一致。总体而言，新西兰样本预计在治疗中比美国样本更被动，并且不期望必须讨论困难或令人不舒服的话题。尽管存在这些差异，但有迹象表明，新西兰和美国客户在心理治疗期望方面的相似之处可能多于不同之处。
