TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship of clients' expected and actual treatment duration was investigated for 230 clients in private practice settings, where clients both expected and attended a relatively low number of visits.
Abstract: The relationship of clients' expected and actual treatment duration was investigated for 230 clients in private practice settings. Clients both expected and attended a relatively low number of visits. These patterns were discrepant with therapists' duration expectations. A stepwise regression analys

...Generally, the relationship between the variables studied and continuance in treatment has been found to be modest, and findings are frequently not replicated across studies (Baekland & Lundwall, 1975; Garfield, 1994; Pekarik & Wierzbicki, 1986; Rabinowitz & Renert, 1997)....

TL;DR: In this article, the relative goodness of fit of four competing factor models of the Counselor Rating FormShort was examined across client (N = 191) and non-client (n = 111) samples by confirmatory factor analysis.
Abstract: The relative goodness of fit of four competing factor models of the Counselor Rating FormShort was examined across client (N = 191) and nonclient (N = 111) samples by confirmatory factor analysis. The four models tested were (a) the single, general, positive-evaluation factor, (b) the three orthogonal factors (expertness, trustworthiness, and attractiveness); (c) the three oblique factors; and (d) a two-step hierarchical-factor model consisting of the three independent firstorder factors and an independent second-order general factor. Results of the confirmatory factor analyses supported the validity of the two-step hierarchical-factor model for both the client and nonclient samples. The factor structure of this two-step hierarchical-factor model was found to be invariant across the two samples.

TL;DR: In this selective review of literature, a growing body of empirical work on clinicians' impact highlights several key issues that have relevance both to clinical practice and future research.
Abstract: Clinicians' impact on substance use disorder treatment has been much less studied than therapy and patient variables. Yet, in this selective review of literature, a growing body of empirical work on clinicians' impact highlights several key issues that have relevance both to clinical practice and future research. These issues include clinicians' effect on treatment retention and outcome, professional characteristics, recovery status, adherence to protocols, counter-transference, alliance, personality, beliefs about treatment, and professional practice issues. Specific recommendations are offered to help improve the quality of care clinicians provide. In particular, it is suggested that greater accountability for clinicians' performance be balanced with increased support for their very difficult role. Methodological issues in studying clinicians are also addressed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of 405 patients in various stages before, during, and after treatment was drawn from a population of 1,200 patients who had received or were on a waiting list for public subsidized long-term psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy or psychoanalysis.
Abstract: The scarcity of findings on the effectiveness of psychodynamic long-term psychotherapy and psychoanalysis is a problem, at least in countries where these treatments are the general treatment of choice. In this study, a sample of 405 patients in various stages before, during, and after treatment was drawn from a population of 1,200 patients who had received or were on a waiting list for public subsidized long-term psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. The average duration was 40 months for the psychotherapies and 51 months for the psychoanalyses. All patients completed a questionnaire, including the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Sense of Coherence Scale (SOCS), and Social Adjustment Scale (SAS), on 3 occasions with 12-month intervals. Using a partly within- and between-subjects design, group means were regressed on an ordinal time scale covering 7 stages in the treatment process: before, early during, during, late during, soon after, after, and late after treatment. The slopes indic...

TL;DR: Experiences of current and career professional development were surveyed for about 3,900 psychotherapists at all career stages in several western countries as mentioned in this paper. Participants included psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health practitioners representing a broad range of theoretical orientations.
Abstract: Experiences of current and career professional development were surveyed for about 3,900 psychotherapists at all career stages in several western countries. Participants included psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health practitioners representing a broad range of theoretical orientations. Measures of experienced development were consistent across professional and demographic categories. As expected, perceived therapeutic mastery increased
