Affection for Patients as a Factor in Therapists' Outcome Judgments

Martin, Paul J.; And Others

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 32, 4, 867-71, Oct 76

Explores the possibility of separating psychotherapists' judgments of treatment outcome from their affective reactions to their patients. If therapists' judgments of symptom remission cannot be utilized independently of their affection for their patients, this would present reason to doubt the utility of such judgments despite their current popularity.
