“…The Client Immediacy Recall Questionnaire (CIRQ) was developed for the Kasper et al (2008) study. The client is asked open-ended questions about the content of discussions of the relationship with the therapist, what these discussions were like, and what was learned from the discussions.…”

“…The Therapist Immediacy Recall Questionnaire (TIRQ) was created for the Kasper et al (2008) study. The therapist is asked to describe her or his thoughts and perceptions about the use of immediacy, reasons for using immediacy, and how the client responded to the immediacy.…”

“…The purpose of this study, then, was to conduct a second case study and compare the results to those of Kasper et al (2008). Conducting a second case study allowed us to investigate both similarities and differences in immediacy and its effects across cases, and it allowed us to begin to speculate about when it might or might not be therapeutic to use immediacy in therapy.…”

“…In planning for the second case, we defined immediacy (based on the results of Kasper et al, 2008) as disclosures involving both therapist and client, and thus excluded feedback related just to the client. As did Kasper et al, we also excluded minimal social pleasantries (e.g., "Nice to see you") that often occur at the beginnings of sessions.…”

“…We also carefully considered what methodology to use to investigate immediacy. Kasper et al (2008) used two different methods: having judges code therapist and client immediacy within speaking turns and a qualitative method of examining the process and outcome of immediacy events (defined as occurring across longer periods of time within sessions based on when the discussion about the relationship started and stopped). The findings for the second analysis of events seemed more clinically relevant but still seemed limited because events were just classified into various types and effects were not studied intensively for the antecedents and consequences.…”

Immediacy was examined in a 17-session case of brief therapy with a bright, articulate, inner-city, African American female client seeing an interpersonally oriented, White, male therapist. The main types of therapist immediacy were reinforcing the client for in-session behavior, inviting the client to collaborate, inquiring about client reactions to therapy, and reminding the client that it was okay to disagree with him. An in-depth qualitative examination of the seven most extensive/salient immediacy events revealed that therapist immediacy enabled the therapist and client to negotiate the relationship, helped the client express her immediate feelings to the therapist, helped the client open up to deeper exploration of concerns, and provided the client with a corrective relational experience. Implications for practice and research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
