“…Limited predictive validity support was presented by Kurtz and Grummon (1972), who found that client-perceived empathy (only the empathy scale was used) was correlated with various measures of psychotherapy outcome. Gross and DeRidder (1966) also found predictive validity support for the BLRI with "movement through counseling." Mills and Zytowski (1967), using 79 college women who assessed their maternal relationship, found that the sub-scales were highly intercorrelated, suggesting that the separate concepts are heavily influenced by a single overriding evaluative component.…”

This article critiques six frequently used counselor rating scales: the Counselor Rating Form, the Counselor Rating Form-Short Version, the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory, the Counselor Evaluation Inventory, the Counselor Effectiveness Scale, and the Counselor Effectiveness Rating Scale. The validity, reliability, and pragmatic utility of each scale are critically examined. Additionally, the frequency of scale use across three counseling journals was recorded for an 11 -year period (1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984). Reliability and validity issues are raised, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…Test-retest reliability of the Barrett-Lennard inventory ranges from.79 to .89 on the subscales and is .85 on the composite score. Validity studies have been reported by Clark and Culbert (1965), Gross andDeRidder (1966), andEmmerling (1961). For the second measure, a parallel form reliability of .975 and construct validity based on successful discrimination between rationally defined good model and bad model counselor behavior have been reported by Ivey and Authier (1978).…”

Effect of inconsistent verbal–nonverbal communication and counselor response mode on client estimate of counselor regard and effectiveness.

The relative impact of the nonverbal channel during inconsistent verbal-nonverbal communication of counselor regard to client was investigated, incorporating verbal-nonverbal message and counselor response orientation as independent variables in a 4 X 3 analysis of variance design. One hundred and twenty subjects, assigned to 12 independent groups, viewed videotapes of an analogue counseling session that portrayed the various counselor message-response orientation conditions. After viewing the tapes, the subjects rated the counselor on level of counselor regard for client and on counselor effectiveness. Although previous research has indicated the dominance of the nonverbal component of an inconsistent message, the results did not confirm the overall functional superordinancy of the nonverbal channel across all levels of response orientation. An interactive relationship was found, with the nonverbal channel functioning with relatively more impact on the confrontive level of orientation. This finding was considered in terms of the differential communication decoding process, and was explained on the basis of stress-induced reduction of cue utilization. Implications for counselor training and practice are discussed.Counseling theorists and practitioners seem to have commonly assumed that the interaction between verbal and nonverbal cues is a very important part of the overall communication process. Nevertheless, much of the training literature in the counseling field (Delaney & Eisenberg, 1972;Egan, 1975;Hackney & Nye, 1973), as well as actual training programs (Colwell, 1968;Heimann & Heimann, 1972), seem to have largely associated the concept of communication with a verbal-linguistic model.Only in the last few years have researchers begun to explore the process of inconsistent communication within the counseling therapy situation. Several of these studies have demonstrated the considerable impact of the nonverbal channel on the communication process in counseling. As example, Haase and Tepper (1972) found that the nonverbal channels accounted for more than twice as Requests for reprints should be sent to

“…Internal consistency alpha scores for the different subscales typically range between .80 and .90 and test‐retest reliability coefficients range between .80 and .85 (Gurman ). A variety of studies have documented that higher BLRI subscale scores are positively associated with better therapy outcomes (Elliott et al ; Farber and Doolin ; Gross and DeRidder ; Kolden et al ; Kurtz and Grummon ).…”

Effects of Genetic Counselor Self‐Disclosure: an Experimental Analog Study

The complex nature of self-disclosure poses challenges for genetic counselors in clinical practice. We examined the impact of genetic counselor self-disclosure on observer perceptions of the counselor. In an online analog study, 123 participants watched a 3-minute video of a simulated genetic counseling session. For half the participants, the video showed the counselor disclosing that she had a family medical history similar to the patient (direct personal disclosure). For half the participants, the counselor revealed her experience with other patients (direct professional disclosure). Half the participants in each video condition read that the patient had discovered personal information about the counselor during a pre-session web search (indirect personal disclosure); half read that the patient learned of the counselor's FAQ webpage for prospective patients (indirect professional disclosure). Participants in the direct personal disclosure conditions gave higher ratings to the counseling relationship on an abbreviated version of the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory and rated themselves more likely to see the counselor compared to those in the direct professional disclosure conditions. The content of the indirect disclosure conditions (personal or professional) had no effect. Brief, direct, verbal disclosure of session-relevant personal information by a genetic counselor appears to enhance the counselor-patient relationship and increase the likelihood of patients returning to the counselor.
