“…Klein and Elliott (2006), using a larger sample than the one in our study, reported similar findings. It seems, therefore, that we are more likely to uncover differences when comparing the extremes, as in Lipkin's (1948) study, which presents an example of poor outcome and good outcome cases in client‐centred therapy. It seems that further studies are necessary in order to acquire greater confidence regarding what changes and experiences of therapy are reported by clients defined by quantitative means as being either ‘good’ or ‘poor’ outcome.…”

“…Examination of the few studies which have scrutinised this relationship suggests that it may prove difficult to find any differences in reports of qualitative outcomes between clients defined as good and poor outcome clients’ on quantitative measures (Klein & Elliott, 2006). This may not, however, be the case in extremely good outcome and extremely poor outcome cases (Lipkin, 1948).…”

Aim: The qualitative experience of clients judged by quantitative measures as having 'good' or 'poor' outcome is not often the focus of outcome research. This exploratory study investigates client experience of psychological therapy in an inner-city primary care centre across two client groups, differentiated on the basis of their outcome scores on quantitative measures. Method: Clients (N011) were allocated to one of two research groups, (a) good outcome (n 05), or (b) poor outcome (n 06) on the basis of their pre-and post-therapy outcome scores on the Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM). They participated in a face-to-face semi-structured interview. Data were recorded and analysed using a descriptive and interpretive qualitative method. Results: Both groups had broadly similar experiences of their current therapy although some differences in emphasis emerged. Good outcome clients described a greater sense of empowerment in therapy, commenting on a feeling of equality with their therapist and exhibiting greater autonomy overall. Poor outcome clients valued therapist support and while reporting increased awareness of problematic functioning described a reluctance to engage fully in the therapeutic process. Conclusion: There was very little difference in the qualitative accounts of therapy and its impact by the clients deemed by quantitative pre-post therapy measurement as either 'good outcome' or 'poor outcome'. There is further research warranted, examining whether clients that seem to benefit from therapy according to standard pre-post measurement, experience therapy and its impact differently to clients whose pre-post results suggest that therapy did not work.

“…Many theorists, most notably Rogers (1961), have characterized the integrated person as one who has a positive self-concept. There is a body of research literature (e.g., Lipkin, 1948;Raimy, 1948;Seeman, 1949) which suggests that as therapy progresses the number of positive statements made about the self increases. The first hypothesis of this study was, therefore, that the integrated group would demonstrate a more positive self-concept than a contrast group.…”

“…Those who profited most from therapy: (a) changed significantly their ratings of the counselor figure to be more like their second rating of self and second rating of parent figure of the same sex as the counselor-in fact, they changed each figure somewhat toward all other figures (35); (b) revealed changes in the self which were in the direction of greater self-understanding, greater self-confidence, greater self-direction and more like others (81) ; (c) changed their ratings of self so that the discrepancy between self-ratings and friends' ratings steadily decreased (81); and (d) learned how to assume more responsibility for themselves and developed a better understanding of themselves (62).…”
