TL;DR: Two versions of cognitive-behavioral therapy, one with religious content (RCT) and one with standard protocol (NRCT), were used to treat 19-20 religious patients each as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Two versions of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), one with religious content (RCT) and one with standard protocol (NRCT), were used to treat 19-20 religious patients each. Fifty-nine religious patients who met the Research Diagnostic Criteria for nonpsychotic, nonbipolar depression were treated in 18-20 1-hr sessions over 3 months. Religious and nonreligious therapists were used in each CBT group. Pastoral counseling (PCT) treatment-as-usual and waiting-list control (WLC) conditions each contained 10-11 patients. RCT and PCT patients reported significantly lower posttreatment depression and adjustment scores than did either the NRCT or the WLC condition. The CBT difference was due largely to superior performance of the nonreligious therapists (with dissimilar values to the patients) in the RCT over the NRCT condition. Improvement in the three treatment conditions was equal at 3-month and 2-year follow-ups and greater than posttreatment WLC improvement levels.

...These findings are more in line with previous suggestions of a curvilinear relationship between patient and therapist similarity and improvement (Beutler, Crago, & Arizmendi, 1986, p, 270)....

TL;DR: In this article, emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) is presented as one of the most researched and most effective approaches to changing distressed marital relationships, and the theoretical context of EFT is described.
Abstract: This article presents the basis for, and the research on, emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT), now recognized as one of the most researched and most effective approaches to changing distressed marital relationships. Drawing on attachment theory and the research on interactional patterns in distressed relationships, we describe the theoretical context of EFT. We then outline the nature of the clinical interventions used in EFT and the steps hypothesized to be crucial to couple change. The central role of accessing and working with emotional issues in the relationship context is highlighted. Following this presentation, we review both the outcome and process research on EFT and present meta-analytic data from randomized clinical trials to substantiate the clinical impact of EFT on couple adjustment. Finally, the empirical and clinical challenges facing EFT are summarized.

TL;DR: The Structural Analysis of Social Behavior system was used to study the interpersonal process between patient and therapist in the 3rd session of 14 therapeutic dyads, finding strong support for the following hypotheses based on interpersonal theory, linking therapists' introject state, interpersonal process in therapy, and outcome.
Abstract: The Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB; Benjamin, 1974, 1982, 1984) system was used to study the interpersonal process between patient and therapist in the 3rd session of 14 therapeutic dyads Dyads were grouped into good and poor outcomes cases (n = 7) on the basis of the amount of change in the patients' introject as measured by the INTREX Introject Questionnaire (Benjamin, 1983) Strong support was found for the following hypotheses based on interpersonal theory, linking therapists' introject state, interpersonal process in therapy, and outcome: (a) Poor outcome cases (no introject change) were typified by interpersonal behaviors by the therapist that confirmed a negative patient introject; (b) the number of therapists' statements that were subtly hostile and controlling was highly correlated with the number of self-blaming statements by the patients; (c) therapists with disaffiliative introjects tended to engage in a much higher level of problematic interpersonal processes that have been associated with poor outcome Implications for future research and therapist training are discussed

...In a broader sense, it demonstrates ties between specific therapist behaviors and clinical change, a line of research with an unfortunate history of failure (Gurman, 1977; Orlinsky & Howard, 1986)....
