“…Too little is known about the relationship between PQ changes, especially in the short term, and other measures of therapeutic benefit, to permit any firm inference concerning the efficacy of the treatment conducted in this group. However, the varied nature of the results is consistent with the view that greater precision is required in the prior specification and control of patient, therapist, technique and setting variables than is possible in conversational treatments as commonly practised (Strupp & Bergin, 1%9;Shapiro, 1975).…”

Personal questionnaires were constructed for seven members of a psychotherapy group. Self-reported changes during group sessions and over a period of up to 10 months' treatment were analysed. There was no general pattern of 'improvement' either during sessions or in the longer term. There was evidence suggestive of an inverse relationship between changes during sessions and over the period of the study. Some clinically meaningful relationships were discerned between the present data and repertory grid and verbal behaviour measures on the same group members reported in a previous paper. Theoretical and methodological implications are discussed.

“…to psychotherapy). It has been convincingly argued (Shapiro, 1972) that the scientific future of psychotherapy lies in the development of a series of defined procedures aimed at relatively modest but clearly defined target variables for use with a small but homogeneous class of patients. We would like to see the development of this technique of belief modification as a small part of that enterprise.…”

“…The issue of what skills or style to teach is not a simple one. It is clear from the literature that no particular clinical style is universally appropriate (Shapiro, 1975). The constructive approach, it seems, is to ask what kind of behaviour will be effective in reaching a particular goal with a particular kind of patient in a particular situation.…”

Interviewing skill: the effects of ultra-brief training for general practitioners. A preliminary report

Concepts of interviewing skill and of appropriate training and evaluation are briefly reviewed. It is hypothesized that if goals and skills relevant to a specific clinical interview can be identified and modelled in advance then even very brief training can improve outcome. An experiment is described in which three randomly selected general practitioners conducted, separately, test interviews with the same role played 'patient'. These interviews were repeated after a 'goal focusing' exercise and again after a modelling and instruction exercise. All interviews were telerecorded and subsequently blindly rated for impact on the 'patient'. The results suggest powerful training effects. The drawbacks of the study, such as lack of controls, are discussed. The similarity of evaluation raters who were 'behaviour' orientated and those who were 'psycho-dynamics' orientated is noted and it is suggested that agreed concepts of effective interviewing may be within reach.
