TL;DR: In this article, the influence of race and other demographic characteristics on session attendance and dropout from a cognitive-behavioral treatment program for male domestic abusers (N = 101) was examined.
Abstract: This study examined the influence of race and other demographic characteristics on session attendance and dropout from a cognitive-behavioral treatment program for male domestic abusers (N = 101). Multiple regression analyses revealed that lower session attendance was significantly predicted by unemployed status and African American (versus Caucasian) race. Other demographic factors could not account for the race differences in session attendance. Race was the strongest predictor of dropout and session attendance in all analyses. Racial composition of treatment groups was not significantly related to number of sessions attended for Caucasian or African American clients. Although the combined (interactive) effect of race and referral source on number of sessions was not statistically significant, the pattern of means suggested that self-referred African Americans were at the greatest risk for dropout. Results suggest that race differences in dropout, and the mechanisms that account for these differences, deserve more clinical and research attention in treatment for domestic abusers.

TL;DR: Content analysis of 30 clients' written descriptions revealed three different modes of client collaboration, labeled active, mutual, and therapist-dependent, which emphasized client initiative and active participation, joint participation, and reliance on therapists' contributions to the work and change process.
Abstract: To gain a closer understanding of client collaboration and its determinants, the first goal of this study involved the investigation of clients' perceptions of collaboration using a discovery-oriented methodology. Content analysis of 30 clients' written descriptions revealed three different modes of client collaboration, labeled active, mutual, and therapist-dependent, which emphasized client initiative and active participation, joint participation, and reliance on therapists' contributions to the work and change process, respectively. The majority of clients valued the therapist's active involvement and also emphasized the helpfulness of their collaborative experiences. In general, the therapist actions and attitudes involved in clients' views of good collaboration varied among clients. A second goal was to examine the relationships between client psychological functioning, quality of interpersonal relationships, and motivation, and clients' collaborative contributions, as rated by clients and therapists. Of these, only motivation was significantly associated with client collaboration, particularly in the perceptions of therapists. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).

...Because the effect of the therapists interventions and interactions with the client is mediated by the clients perceptions (eg, Bergin & Garfield, 1994; Elliott, 1989) and clients assessments of the relationship, compared with those of therapists or external raters, are generally more predictive of outcome (as reflected in superior effect sizes; Horvath & Bedi, 2002; Horvath & Symonds, 1991), a closer understanding of clients view of collaboration seems warranted....

TL;DR: The distinction between common and unique factors may be a false dichotomy when comparing many face-to-face psychotherapies, because neither common factors nor unique factors can exist without the other as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: As a field, psychotherapy has long been dominated by the different types (or orientations) of psychological therapies in practice. Though there are hundreds if not thousands of different kinds of psychotherapy, in many ways some are quite similar—they share some common factors. In other ways, each orientation may possess some unique elements, or combinations of elements not found in most other kinds of therapy: unique factors. In this chapter, we describe how the theoretical and empirical discussions of common and unique factors have progressed historically, highlighting major contributions in identifying and organizing the influential components and active ingredients of psychotherapy. It can be shown that both common factors and more unique factors can be reliably identified, and that these factors can be linked with outcome, and may both be necessary to the successful application of any psychological therapy. Ultimately, the distinction between “common” and “unique” factors may be a false dichotomy when comparing many face-to-face psychotherapies, because neither common factors nor unique factors can exist without the other. Common factors rely on specific treatments, and unique factors exist in the context of common variables.
