Abstract The relationship between theme-related depth of experiencing (EXP) and outcome was explored in experiential therapy with depressed clients. The study sought to investigate whether depth of EXP predicts outcome, whether change in depth of EXP over therapy predicts outcome, and how these factors compare with the therapeutic alliance as predictors of outcome. The sample consisted of 35 clients, each of whom received 16 to 20 weeks of therapy. Themes that had emerged across therapy were identified. Depth of EXP was measured in relation to themes in one early session and in three sessions sampled from blocks across the last half of therapy. Analyses revealed that EXP on core themes in the last half of therapy was a significant predictor of reduced symptom distress and increased self-esteem. EXP did not correlate significantly with changes on the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems. EXP on core themes also accounted for outcome variance over and above that accounted for by early EXP and alliance.
本研究旨在探讨体验式疗法中与主题相关的体验深度（EXP）与治疗效果之间的关系。研究调查了深度体验是否可以预测治疗效果，体验深度的变化是否可以预测治疗效果，以及这些因素与治疗联盟相比，哪个对治疗效果的预测作用更大。该研究共纳入 35 名接受 16 至 20 周治疗的患者。通过治疗过程中出现的主题识别出深度体验。在治疗早期的一次会谈中，以及在治疗最后一半时间内的三次会谈中，对主题相关的深度体验进行了测量。分析结果表明，治疗最后一半时间内的核心主题深度体验是症状困扰减少和自尊提高的显著预测因素。深度体验与人际关系问题量表的变化之间没有显著相关性。核心主题上的深度体验也可以预测治疗效果，且这种预测作用大于早期深度体验和治疗联盟所预测的作用。
