Empirical studies are reviewed, the aim being to investigate characteristics of the therapeutic relationship in cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and to identify therapist or patient interpersonal behavior that affects treatment outcome. CBT is characterized by a more active and directive stance on the part of the therapists and higher levels of emotional support than are found in insight-oriented psychotherapies. Therapists express high levels of empathy and unconditional positive regard, similar to those expressed by insight-oriented psychotherapists. Two clusters of interpersonal behavior have been identified that are clearly associated with CBT outcome: (a) the Rogerian therapist variables--empathy, nonpossessive warmth, positive regard, and genuineness; and (b) therapeutic alliance. There is some evidence for the impact on outcome of three additional clusters of patient behavior: (a) the patients' perception of the therapist as being self-confident, skillful, and active; (b) the patients' openness to discuss their problems; and (c) the patients' pretreatment predisposition to change and to accept psychological treatment as a means of achieving this. It is further concluded that relationship factors in general have a consistent but moderate impact on CBT outcome.

“…It should be noted that ratings were carried out at posttreatment, and thus the influence of treatment outcome is obvious. In a later study of phobic patients (various but mainly agoraphobia) treated with exposure and cognitive interventions, TCRS ratings were carried out at the second session (Bennun & Schindler, 1988). The ratings seemed to capture a mutual understanding between client and therapist and were highly correlated with outcome.…”

“…Respecto a la acción de estas variables en el paciente se ha reportado que los pacientes mayores clasifican a sus terapeutas mas favorablemente y los terapeutas mayores son clasificados por sus pacientes como siendo más directivos (Bennun & Schindler, 1988). Al evaluar a varones con respecto a su preferencia de dos tipos de counseling de orientación profesional contrastantes, manifestaron en su mayoría preferencia por un acercamiento directivo más que un acercamiento de orientación contextual y emocional (Rochlen & O'Brien, 2002).…”

ResumenSe expone los resultados de una revisión de las propuestas teóricas y hallazgos empíricos de diferentes autores e investigaciones sobre la directividad en la psicoterapia. En algunos casos la literatura localizada confluye en conceptos comunes y en otros diverge en sus resultados llevando a conclusiones heterogéneas sobre la directividad como habilidad terapéutica. Se presenta la información en capítulos tomando como eje central las perspectivas sobre cuándo ser más o menos directivos. En cada capítulo se desarrolla teóricamente el tema y a continuación los estudios que prestan o no soporte empírico a la propuesta teórica. Los contenidos posteriormente son sintetizados en la conclusión. Finalmente, la discusión integra los conceptos de mayor relevancia, analiza las limitaciones de los estudios y de los resultados encontrados y propone futuras líneas de investigación.Palabras clave: Directividad, habilidad terapéutica, relación terapéutica AbstractOne exposes the results of a revision of the theoretical proposals and empirical findings of different authors and investigations on the directivity in the psycotherapy.

Abstract: Thirty-five phobic patients were assessed in order to investigate the specific therapist and patient factors operative within treatment. Although the factors were highly correlated, they did distinguish between those patients who benefited differentially from treatment.
