Abstract

The findings suggest that there are differences among therapists across a range of outcomes. However, these differences account for a modest proportion of the overall variation in client outcomes. Future research is needed to replicate these findings across different contexts before firm conclusions are drawn. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
