In an attempt to test the hypothesis that therapist empathy is an important variable in successful dynamic therapy, the authors collected outcome measures and empathy ratings in the brief focal dynamic therapy of 59 patients. There was no significant agreement among patients, therapists, and clinical supervisors when they used the same scale to rate therapist empathy for the same sessions. Only the patients' ratings correlated significantly with some of the outcome measures, and they added modest but statistically significant predictive variance on multiple regression analysis. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for the traditional mode of supervision of dynamic therapy.
为了检验治疗师共情是成功的动力心理治疗中的一个重要变量这一假设，作者收集了59名患者在短期焦点动力心理治疗中的治疗结果测量数据和共情评分。当患者、治疗师和临床督导使用相同量表对同一疗程的治疗师共情进行评分时，他们之间没有显著的一致性。只有患者的评分与一些治疗结果测量数据显著相关，并且在多元回归分析中，这些评分增加了适度但具有统计学意义的预测方差。作者讨论了这些发现对传统动力心理治疗督导模式的影响。
