Therapeutic Attachments

Excerpt from article:
"Hoagwood (1997) reminds us that “smaller, interpersonal, and uniquely human exchanges. . .are the marrow of effective services” (p. 549). In adult mental health treatment, relationship factors such as attention, positive regard, and empathy have been shown to account for nearly a third of the variance in treatment outcomes: in contrast, specific therapeutic techniques account for just 15% of the outcome variance (Lambert & Barley, 2002)."
