Patient Preferences with Regard to Ideal Therapist Characteristics.

Hartlage, Lawrence C.; Sperr, Edwin V.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v36 n1 p288-91 Jan 1980

Patients described their perceptions of ideal therapist characteristics and subsequently described their own therapist. Data suggest there is consensus on what patients expect in a therapist and also suggest a relationship between how well therapists meet these expectancies and how effective patients consider their therapy.
