Description
Research on therapist effectiveness (i.e., therapist effects) is important for spiritually oriented
psychotherapy to mature and flourish as a specialty. Therapist effects are described and compared to
treatment effects, and then a research-based profile of the effective therapist is sketched. This characterization
is similar in both spiritually-oriented psychotherapy and secular psychotherapy, which has no spiritual
orientation. The challenge for this specialty is for research to integrate both therapist effects and treatment
effects to inform psychotherapy training. This discussion is framed within Alan Bergin's (1980) "hope" that
the psychotherapy profession would become more comprehensive and more effective.
