Correlates of consumer satisfaction with outpatient therapy assessed by postcards

R Frank et al. Community Ment Health J. 1977 Spring.

Abstract

This paper presents research findings on the effect of numerous psychotherapy variables on clients' satisfaction with psychotherapy in an outpatient unit of a community mental health center. The surprising result is that so few variables had any significant impact. Those that did have an impact raise some questions about the value of certain kinds of therapy.
