“…These analyses, however, did not exhaust the list of therapists' beliefs and preferences that have been reported (e.g., Colby, 1951;Eells, 1964;Gallagher, Sharaf, & Levinson, 1965;Garfield & Affleck, 1961;Goldman & Mendelsohn, 1969;Knapp, Levin, McCarter, Wermer, & Zetzel, 1960;Strupp, 1962;Wallach & Strupp, 1960).

This study deals with client attributes as related to outcome for 30 clients treated by 14 therapists. Eleven attributes that others have said were related to outcome were not so related in this study. Some attributes, however, were related to social class and to severity of impairment-neither of which was related to outcome. These findings, along with prior ones from the same investigation, suggest that outcome is affected by the attitudes and beliefs of therapists concerning prognosis for lower-class and severely disturbed clients: therapists who believe they can help such clients can often do so.

Hence, it is not surprising they are reported more likely to reject psychotherapy or to terminate prematurely (Rubenstein & Lorr, 1956;Yamamoto & Goin, 1966).…”
