during ruptures, and to assess the relationship between therapists' adherence to these<br />

treatments and outcome.<br />

To investigate therapists' technical behavior during ruptures, a validated measure<br />

of therapist technique will be used to assess therapists' utilization of relational, cognitive<br />

behavioral and dynamic interventions during ruptures. In order to clarify the relationship<br />

between treatment interventions and outcome, therapists' use of these treatment<br />

interventions will be correlated with outcome, as defined by two patient self-report<br />

outcome measures: a measure of psychiatric symptoms (SCL-90-R) and a measure of<br />

interpersonal distress (IIP-64).<br />

Research Hypotheses:<br />

1. It is expected that relational therapists will use relational interventions more<br />

than will cognitive behavioral therapists. Furthermore, it is expected that cognitive<br />

behavioral therapists will use cognitive behavioral interventions more than will<br />

relational therapists.<br />

2. It is expected that relational therapists will utilize relational interventions<br />

significantly more than interventions from other orientations (e.g., cognitive behavioral<br />

and dynamic interventions). Furthermore, it is expected that cognitive behavioral<br />

therapists will utilize cognitive behavioral interventions significantly more than<br />

interventions from other orientations (e.g., relational and dynamic interventions).<br />
