Effects of Clinical Experience and Client Emotion on Therapists' Responses.

Haccoun, Dorothy Markiewicz; Lavigueur, Henry

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v47 n2 p416-18 Apr 1979

Results of this study indicated that therapists judged angry clients less favorably than sad clients. Experienced therapists showed greater tolerance of anger. Therapists intervened less with angry clients than with depressed clients; and angry clients received less supportiveness, less directiveness, and fewer requests for information. (Author/BEF)
