1. Despite the creation of multiple new approaches to psychotherapy and excellent process research, studies continue to fail to find sharp differences in treatment. 2. In the practice of psychotherapy, the relationship alone is enough to change the client in most cases. 3. According to Bergin and Lambert (1978) the largest variation in therapy outcome is accounted for by therapist personal factors. Pre-existing client factors account for the second largest proportion of change. 4. Starting with Carl Rogers’s emphasis on empathy in the 1950s and 1960s, empathy for the client is one of the least established therapeutic factors. 5. Horvath et al. (2011) found in their meta-analysis that alliance assessed during the early stages of treatment (sessions 1–5) and middle stages of treatment were less strongly predictive of outcomes compared with alliance assessed at the end of treatment (last four sessions).
A school counselor was working with Quan, whose presenting problem was anxiety pertaining to academic success in college. This was within the scope of the school counselor's training. However, during the course of therapy, Quan became very depressed and engaged in self-mutilation and other forms of self-destructive behavior. Quan's counselor recognized that these symptoms and behaviors reflected a problem area that was outside the scope of his practice. Ethical practice required that the school counselor:
A. attempt to work with Quan's problems and only refer if he becomes suicidal. B. have another school employee present in all sessions after the discovery is made. C. make a referral to another professional who is competent to treat Quan's problems. D. make a referral to a substance abuse counselor because all client's with these symptoms are self-medicating.
