“…In another single case study, DeVoge, Minor, and Karoly (1981) examined the use of interpersonal feedback as well as a number of other cognitive and behavioral interventions in the treatment of an agoraphobic client. The feedback here was more evaluative than descriptive: It confronted the client with the consequences of his behavior, positive and negative, and communicated the therapist's belief in the client's capabilities.…”

Feedback is a ubiquitous feature of psychotherapy. But it takes many forms and often is understood by names other than feedback (e.g., interpretation, immediacy, confrontation). In this article, we define feedback and then review available research on outcomes of feedback in the four contexts of individual therapy, couple and family therapy, group therapy, and personality testing. That research has yielded mostly positive results and some mixed results; we found no negative results. We summarize the outcome studies, examine variables that mediate or moderate the impact of feedback, and present therapeutic implications based on the research.Kurt Lewin, who borrowed the term feedback from electrical engineering, apparently was the first to apply it in the behavioral sciences (Yalom, 1995). In his work with human relations Tgroups, he conceptualized the impact of others' behavior as feedback. His sense of feedback's meaning has been generally accepted in group work and, by extension, in other areas of applied psychology, including psychotherapy.Basic definitions of feedback in psychology tend to stress that it is (a) information provided This chapter to appear in J. C. Norcross (Ed.), Psychotherapy relationships that work.

“…Other studies have found that therapist warmth (Morris & Suckerman, 1974a, 1974bRabavilas, Boulougouris, & Perissaki, 1979;Ryan & Moses, 1979), caring and involvement (Williams & Chambless, 1990) as well as acceptance, respect, interest and liking (Rabavilas et al, 1979) were predictive of positive outcome. Likewise, there is support for outcome's association with therapist empathy (Emmelkamp & Van der Hout, 1983;Rabavilas et al, 1979), positive regard (Bennun, Hahlweg, Schindler, & Langlotz, 1986; Schindler, 1988;Emmelkamp & Van der Hout, 1983;Rabavilas et al, 1979), guidance (Bennun & Schindler, 1988), verbal encouragement (Mathews et al, 1976;Rabavilas et al, 1979), feedback (DeVoge, Minor, & Karoly, 1981;Leitenberg, Agras, Allen, & Butz, 1975), helping the client feel understood (Hansen, Hoogduin, Schaap, & de Haan, 1992;Rabavilas et al, 1979), reinforcement (Wilkins, 1971), and congruence (Emmelkamp & Van der Hout, 1983) in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Although we found insufficient or no research directly linking congruence or genuineness, repair of alliance ruptures, management of countertransference, therapist self-disclosure, or quality of relational interpretation with positive outcome in a homogeneous sample of individuals with anxiety disorders, these factors were listed in Table 4 because studies of mixed disorder samples have suggested that these factors are important (Norcross, 2002).…”

This article is a condensation of several chapters from Principles of Therapeutic Change That Work edited by L.G. Castonguay and L.E. Beutler. The authors present the work of M.G. Newman, W.B. Stiles, A. Janeck, and S.R. Woody (2006), who outline an integrative model for effective psychotherapy of anxiety disorders. The authors also summarize, review, and extend several chapters on the current knowledge about therapeutic technique factors (S.R. Woody & T.H. Ollendick, 2006), participant factors (M.G. Newman, P. Crits-Christoph, M.B. Connelly Gibbons, & T.M. Erickson, 2006), and relationship factors (W.B. Stiles & B.E. Wolfe, 2006), which are related to anxiety disorder treatment outcome. The authors then place these factors and their practice implications within a common framework. Their integration is based on (a) the concept of appropriate responsiveness, and (b) a distinction between actions and achievements.
