This study examined differences between more and less effective trainee psychotherapists. Therapists were assigned to one of two groups depending on whether the preponderance of their patients' changes in symptomatology indicated more or less improvement over the course of therapy. Therapist variables included emotional adjustment, relationship skills, eliciting patient involvement, credibility, directiveness, and theoretical orientation. Less effective therapists were revealed to have lower levels of empathic understanding, to rate their patients as more involved in treatment, and to rate themselves as more supportive than the more effective therapists. Less effective therapists also valued comfort and stimulation significantly more and valued intellectual goals significantly less than did more effective therapists.
本研究考察了疗效较好与疗效较差的实习心理治疗师之间的差异。根据患者症状变化的总体情况表明在治疗过程中改善较多还是较少，治疗师被分为两组。治疗师变量包括情绪调节、关系技巧、促使患者参与、可信度、指导性和理论取向。结果显示，疗效较差的治疗师共情理解水平较低，认为患者在治疗中参与度更高，且自认为比疗效较好的治疗师更具支持性。与疗效较好的治疗师相比，疗效较差的治疗师也更看重舒适和刺激，而对智力目标的重视程度则明显较低。
