TL;DR: In this article, students' descriptions of the immediate therapeutic impact of the most and least helpful counselor responses in 24 brief one-session helping interviews provided the basis for an empirical taxonomy of change events in counseling.
Abstract: Volunteer students' descriptions of the immediate therapeutic impact of the most and least helpful counselor responses in 24 brief one-session helping interviews provided the basis for an empirical taxonomy of change events in counseling. Eighty-six helpful and 70 nonhelpful counselor responses were identified and described by students and clustered by independent judges. These responses were rated for counselor response modes or intentions by raters, counselors, and students. Cluster analyses identified eight kinds of helpful events grouped into two “superclusters” that correspond to task and interpersonal aspects of helping interactions. The predominant cluster in the Task supercluster was New Perspective; the predominant cluster in the Interpersonal supercluster was Understanding. Six kinds of nonhelpful events were identified, the most common being Misperception, Negative Counselor Reaction, and Unwanted Responsibility. Event types were described in terms of the counselor actions typically associated with them.

...The two superclusters of helpful events are consistent with a number of important distinctions made in the literature: task versus interpersonal functions in human relationships (eg, Bales, 1969; Orlinsky & Howard, 1978); specific versus nonspecific factors in healing relationships (Frank, 1973); and technique versus relationship aspects of counseling/psychotherapy (eg, Luborsky, 1976; Strupp, 1973)....

TL;DR: Using the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC; Version 1.0) rating system, the authors found that therapist interpersonal skills were positively associated with client involvement as defined by cooperation, disclosure and expression of affect.
Abstract: Although many studies have shown that motivational interviewing (MI) is effective in reducing problem behaviors, few have investigated purported causal mechanisms. Therapist interpersonal skills have been proposed as an influence on client involvement during MI sessions and as a necessary precursor to client commitment language. Using the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC; Version 1.0) rating system, the authors investigated 103 unique MI sessions for substance abuse and found that therapist interpersonal skills were positively associated with client involvement as defined by cooperation, disclosure and expression of affect. An unexpected finding indicated that behaviors inconsistent with MI enhanced the impact of therapist interpersonal skills upon client involvement. Drawbacks to the study include a potential sampling bias and uneven reliability of the variables measured.

...Therapist affirmation, understanding, and accurate empathy have all been associated with increased ratings of the quality and strength of the working alliance (Ackerman & Hilsenroth, 2003; Horvath & Bedi, 2002), reflecting a voluminous literature suggesting that being understood and accepted is an integral part of the healing experience for clients (Beutler, Machado, & Allstetter Neufeldt, 1994; Bohart, Elliot, Greenberg, & Watson, 2002)....

TL;DR: The authors examined the mediating roles of perceived social support and psychological distress on the relationship between adult attachment and help-seeking intentions and found that attachment anxiety in individuals was positively related to acknowledging distress and to seeking help.
Abstract: This study examined the mediating roles of perceived social support and psychological distress on the relationship between adult attachment and help-seeking intentions. Participants were 355 college students at a large Midwestern university. The structural equation model results indicated that attachment anxiety in individuals was positively related to acknowledging distress and to seeking help. Conversely, individuals with attachment avoidance denied their distress and were reluctant to seek help. However, both individuals with attachment anxiety and individuals with avoidance also perceived less social support, which negatively contributed to their experience of distress, and their distress then positively contributed to their help-seeking intention. Furthermore, attachment anxiety and avoidance, social support, and distress explained 17% of the variance in intent to seek help.

...These perceptions of psychotherapy persist despite studies showing that seeking psychological services is often helpful and the consequences for not seeking help are often severe (see Bergin & Garfield, 1994)....
