{"product_id":"great-expectations-von-cal-paterson","title":"Great Expectations","description":"\u003cp\u003ePsychotherapy is known to be effective, but the relative efficacy of  different treatment approaches has been more difficult to  comprehensively establish. While research into the common factors  across the different types of psychotherapy has revealed the  underlying ''active ingredients'' of therapy, the application of common  factors research to clinical practice has been elusive. Client  expectations, motivation, and symptom severity are uniquely  measurable before treatment commences and amenable to direct  intervention.  This book reports the findings of a study of individuals  undergoing psychotherapy treatments for anxiety. Their  expectations about treatment and its aftermath were measured   before treatment commenced. The participants'' expectations about  the therapy process predicted the immediate outcome of therapy;  whereas their expectations about life after therapy were better  longer-term predictors of the outcome.  This study highlights the  need for psychotherapists to assess and address client expectations  about treatment before, during, and after psychotherapy, in order to  improve client outcomes, and augment the beneficial impact of  other common factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838351438\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Application of Common Factors Theory to Practice in Psychotherapy for Anxiety\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838351438","offer_id":39499079024733,"sku":"9783838351438","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d674b719-a6bd-40ee-8ffe-dcef7948b0ad.jpg?v=1757742049","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/great-expectations-von-cal-paterson","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
