Toward a participatory model of psychotherapy.

Abstract: A pervasive model of the psychotherapeutic relationship has assumed that patient welfare is best served by the therapist's exercise of control over, and responsibility for, methods, goals, and decisions in treatment. However, increased sensitivity to ethical dilemmas in the routine conduct of therapy and more vocal demands by the users of mental health services are likely to lead to a restructuring of the psychotherapeutic relationship. This article argues for a mutual participatory model of therapy that would… Show more

“…Although some have expressed concern that consent procedures may hinder the therapeutic relationship (Faustrnan & Miller, 1987;Handelsman, Kemper, Kesson-Craig, McLain, & Johnsmd, 1986;Haut & Muehleman, 1986), decrease clients' confidence in therapists' potential helpfulness, and potentially cause a loss of clientele (Lewis, Davis, & Lesmeister, 1983), the promotion of autonomy and rational decision making is thought to enhance (Coyne & Widiger, 1978;Everstine et al, 1980;P. S. Jensen, Josephson, & Frey, 1989) and help define the relationship between client and therapist (Birch, 1990).…”

“…Several authors have suggested that counselors can avoid the pitfall of covertly influencing clients by openly discussing their goals, values, techniques, and expectations with clients prior to the commencement of counseling (Coyne & Widiger, 1978;Hare-Mustin, Marecek, Kaplan, & Liss-Levinson, 1979;Humphries, 1982;Lewis, Davis, & Lesmeister, 1983;Rawlings & Carter, 1977). These authors believe that the provision of such pretherapy information will increase clients' awareness of the potential for counselor influence as well as clients' ability to detect subtle influence attempts when they occur.…”

“…Second, the results were based solely on client self-reports. While this type of data can be said to be biased (Lambert, Ogles & Masters, 1992;Margolis, Sorenson & Galano, 1977), it has also been argued that the client's opinion is the one that is the most informed (Lambert et al, 1992) and the most important (Coyne & Widiger, 1978;Morrison, 1978) since the central goal of counselling 'is to make the patient feel better' (Stuart & Lieberman, 1993). In reality, client self-reports of internal states are the most frequently used data in counselling outcome studies (Lambert et al, 1992).…”
