  • ...The early view that treatments reduce avoidance behavior by extinguishing conditioned anxiety reactions has been cast into doubt by a sizable body of evidence that anxiety is only weekly correlated with avoidance (Bandura, 1969, 1978; Lader, 1975; Lang, 1971; Rachman, 1976; Rachman & Hodgson, 1974) and that clients level of anxiety during treatment has little bearing on how much they improve (Emmelkamp, 1982a; Marks, 1978; Mathews, Gelder, & Johnston, 1981)....

TL;DR: The author reviews the research demonstrating not only that clients withhold personal information and reactions from their therapists but also that such discretion is associated with positive therapy process ratings and outcomes and makes suggestions concerning what clients and therapists might optimally reveal in therapy.
Abstract: The author reviews the research demonstrating not only that clients withhold personal information and reactions from their therapists but also that such discretion is associated with positive therapy process ratings and outcomes. These results run counter to traditional approaches to psychotherapy, which demand a high degree of openness from clients. These puzzling findings can be explained by conceptualizing psychotherapy as a self-presentational process, wherein clients come to benefit from therapy by perceiving that their therapists have favorable views of them. Creating these favorable impressions can involve clients' hiding some undesirable aspects of themselves from their therapists. The author offers findings from the psychotherapy and social-psychology literatures in support of this view and makes suggestions concerning what clients and therapists might optimally reveal in therapy.
