Patients' stated requests for 16 types of interventions are compared with therapists' perceptions of the patients' manifest and latent requests for these interventions. Significantly, therapists' accuracy in assessing requests sharply decreases in patients seen for more than 6 months. Therapists' ratings of the questionnaire indieate that therapists believe patients have a strong, latent wish to depend on a nurturing therapist. The study raises questions about why patients manifest requests differ so significantly from therapists' assessment of their latent requests
