Type of counseling termination and trainee therapist–client agreement about change
نویسنده
چکیده
Research on client–therapist agreement about change has shown mixed results within an overall pattern of limited agreement. However, relatively little research has been conducted in counseling training clinics. This archival study sheds light on this inconsistency by examining trainee therapist–client agreement on outcome in different types of counseling termination. Treatment gains were found for both counseling completers and dropouts, with findings somewhat favoring the former group. Moderate trainee therapist–client agreement about change was found. Larger agreement was obtained for clients who completed treatment (r1⁄4 .53) compared to clients who withdrew unilaterally from treatment (r1⁄4 .30). However, this difference was not statistically significant.
