Therapeutic Attraction as a Function of Therapist Attire and Office Furnishings.
Amira, Stephen; Abramowitz, Stephen I.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v47 n1 p198-200 Feb 1979
Undergraduates viewed a simulated therapy segment presented on four videotapes varying in traditionalism of the therapist's attire and office. Ratings of attraction were independent of therapist attire. Subjects' impressions were largely unaffected by office arrangements. Data refute formulations assigning therapist accoutrements a major role in priming nonspecific psychotherapeutic effects. (Author/BEF)
