Research shows psychotherapists espousing different theoretical approaches differ in mentality (e.g., cognitive styles, beliefs and epistemologies) and personality (e.g., neuroticism). However, studies have not investigated the association between professional relational style prescribed by therapists' theoretical orientations and therapists' manner of relating in personal life. Analyses of over 4000 therapists of varied nationalities, professions and career levels having different theoretical preferences indicate: (i) therapists' self-experience in close personal relationships was significantly associated with the manner their theoretical orientations prescribed for relating with clients; (ii) therapists were less accepting, less tolerant and more demanding in their personal relationships than with clients; and (iii) therapists adjusted their professional relational manner in practice to meet the specific expectations of their preferred orientations.
研究表明，信奉不同理论方法的心理治疗师在心态（例如认知风格、信念和认识论）和个性（例如神经质）方面存在差异。然而，目前的研究尚未探讨治疗师的理论取向所规定的专业关系风格与治疗师在个人生活中的关系方式之间的关联。对来自不同国家、专业和职业水平、具有不同理论偏好的 4000 多名治疗师的分析表明：（i）治疗师在亲密人际关系中的自我体验与他们的理论取向规定与客户建立关系的方式显著相关；（ii）治疗师在人际关系中比在客户关系中更不宽容、更不宽容、要求更高；（iii）治疗师在实践中调整专业的关系方式，以满足他们偏好的取向的具体期望。
