This study was concerned with psychotherapists' evaluations of the outcome of therapy. Staff and resident psychiatrists employed in 23-item questionnaire to rate the seccess of psychotherapy with 85 of their inpatients. These were patients for whom psychotherapy constituted a significant part of the treatment that they received in the hospital. The therapists' responses to the questionnaire items were intercorrelated. The results indicated that a major aspect of a psychotherapist's judgment of the success of treatment-as these judgments usually are employed in current psychotherapy research-is the therapist's affective reaction to the patient, Better-liked patients were viewed as having improved more. However, when the therapists' responses were subjected to factor analysis, independent Improvement and Affection factors emerged. It is suggested that when therapists' ratings of success are used in psychotherapy research they should be treated or refined statistically to minimize potential confounding with their affection for patients.
本研究关注心理治疗师对治疗结果的评估。工作人员和住院精神科医生使用一份23项的问卷，对他们的85名住院患者的心理治疗成功程度进行评分。这些患者接受的治疗中，心理治疗是重要组成部分。治疗师对问卷项目的回答相互关联。结果表明，心理治疗师对治疗成功的判断的一个主要方面——正如当前心理治疗研究中通常采用的这些判断——是治疗师对患者的情感反应，更受喜爱的患者被认为改善更大。然而，当对治疗师的回答进行因子分析时，出现了独立的改善因子和情感因子。建议在心理治疗研究中使用治疗师的成功评分时，应进行统计处理或完善，以尽量减少与他们对患者的情感产生潜在混淆。
