The influences on the therapeutic relationship of racial differences between client and therapist are receiving renewed attention in the psychological literature. The subject has been examined in several reviews (Banks, 1971; Gardner, 1971; Sattler, 1970) and a growing number of research studies in the past few years. The reviews reveal that most of this literature consists of anecdotal accounts, uncontrolled observations, limited research findings, and a rather one-sided emphasis upon the white therapist-black client relationship, to the neglect of other racial combinations. This review will examine the psychotherapeutic relationship under varying racial matches of white and black clients and therapists. It seeks to sharpen the sensibilities of therapists to some of the racial factors contributing to premature termination of treatment.
来访者与治疗师之间种族差异对治疗关系的影响在心理学文献中重新受到关注。过去几年里，该主题在几篇综述（班克斯，1971年；加德纳，1971年；萨特勒，1970年）以及越来越多的研究中得到了探讨。这些综述表明，该文献大多由轶事记录、无对照观察、有限的研究结果以及对白人治疗师与黑人来访者关系的相当片面的强调组成，而忽视了其他种族组合。本综述将考察白人和黑人来访者与治疗师在不同种族匹配情况下的心理治疗关系。它旨在提高治疗师对一些导致治疗过早终止的种族因素的敏感度。
