Neurodiversity‐Affirming Emotion‐Focused Group Therapy: An Exploratory Outcome Study
The Strathclyde Inventory: Development of a Brief Instrument for Assessing Outcome in Counseling According to Rogers’ Concept of the Fully Functioning Person
The Strathclyde Inventory is a self-report instrument assessing Rogers’ concept of the fully functioning person. Using data collected from a UK-based counseling service, we investigated its validity for use as an outcome measure, and produced a 12-item brief version that maintained fit to the Rasch model and construct representation
Skill mix and patient outcomes: A multi-country analysis of heart disease and breast cancer patients
Therapist empathy and client outcome: An updated meta-analysis.
Put simply, empathy refers to understanding what another person is experiencing or trying to express. Therapist empathy has a long history as a hypothesized key change process in psychotherapy. We begin by discussing definitional issues and presenting an integrative definition. We then review measures of therapist empathy, including the conceptual problem of separating empathy from other relationship variables. We follow this with clinical exampl…
The Humanistic‐Experiential Approach
The most central characteristics of humanistic approaches to psychotherapy are defined and sub-approaches within the humanistic approach are identified. The main characteristics of the family of humanistic experiential approaches are their focus on promoting an empathically attuned relationship, in-therapy experiencing, a commitment to a phenomenological approach, a belief in the uniquely human capacity for reflective consciousness, a positive vi…
Empathy.
After defining empathy, discussing its measurement, and offering an example of empathy in practice, we present the results of an updated meta-analysis of the relation between empathy and psychotherapy outcome. Results indicated that empathy is a moderately strong predictor of therapy outcome: mean weighted r = .31 (p < .001; 95% confidence interval: .28-.34), for 59 independent samples and 3599 clients. Although the empathy-outcome relation held …

Devolved government and public sector pay reform: Considerations of equity and efficiency
Elliott R. F., Bell D., Scott A., Ma A. and Roberts E. (2005) Devolved government and public sector pay reform: considerations of equity and efficiency, Regional Studies 39 , 519-539. Public sector pay is of critical concern to the governments in Westminster and Edinburgh. It accounts for the major part of these government's current expenditures and is a crucial determinant of the quality and range of the services they provide. The paper details …

Foreigners in a Strange Land: Self-Construal and Ethnic Identity in Male Arabic Immigrants
Gender Differences in Adolescents' Possible Selves
The purpose of the study was to better understand gender differences in global self-esteem at adolescence by examining the content of and gender differences within adolescents' 'possible selves.' Possible selves are self-conceptions about both what an individual hopes to become and fears becoming. Results support the hypothesis that adolescents are able to access and report a vast array of possible selves. As hypothesized, female adolescents rate…
Evolving guidelines for publication of qualitative research studies in psychology and related fields
We present a set of evolving guidelines for reviewing qualitative research, to serve four functions: to contribute to the process of legitimizing qualitative research; to ensure more appropriate and valid scientific reviews of qualitative manuscripts, theses, and dissertations; to encourage better quality control in qualitative research through better self‐ and other‐monitoring; and to encourage further developments in approach and method. Buildi…
Examination-induced distress in a public examination at the completion of secondary schooling
Background. The context for this study was the Higher School Certificate examination in New South Wales, Australia.Aims. The main research aim was to investigate the association between the Higher School Certificate, the reported distress and anxiety levels of the adolescent students who prepare for and sit for the examination, and various other internal and environmental variables.Sample. The random sample consisted of 445 students in their last…
Brief Structured Recall: A more efficient method for studying significant therapy events
Previously, significant therapy events have been studied using a time‐consuming form of tape‐assisted recall. Brief Structured Recall (BSR) was developed to overcome difficulties with this earlier method. We carried out two case studies of time‐limited therapy following the protocol of the Sheffield Psychotherapy Project (eight sessions each of Prescriptive and Exploratory therapies). In the first case study, we developed a more efficient method …
Development of a taxonomy of therapist difficulties: Initial report
While psychotherapists discuss amongst themselves and in supervision the struggles they experience face‐to‐face with their patients, empirical study of therapists' experience of psychotherapy has been scant and there has been little investigation of therapists' difficulties. We require tools for such investigation and in this initial report we describe the development of a taxonomy of situations that psychotherapists experience as difficult and i…

"Are all psychotherapies equivalent?"
Despite clear demonstrations by process researchers of systematic differences in therapists' techniques, most reviews of psychotherapy outcome research show little or no differential effectiveness of different psychotherapies. This contradiction presents dilemma to researchers and practitioners. Numerous possible solutions have been suggested. Some of these challenge the apparent equivalence of outcome, arguing that differential results could be …

The Affective Sensitivity Test as a Function of Stimulus Modality: Does Complete Information Hinder Performance
The study investigated performance on the Affective Sensitivity Test as a function of the stimulus modality. Subjects were administered one of four variations of the test: (1) the standard sound film version, (2) the audio but not the visual portion of the film, (3) the visual but not the audio portion of the film, (4) the test booklet with neither the visual nor audio portion. Contrary to prediction, the standard administration (audio plus visua…
