Therapeutic Factors

40% of client improvement is due to their own strengths, talents, skills and resources.

30% is due to the client-therapist relationship (empathy, warmth, caring, genuineness, acceptance)

15% is due to positive expectations about the possibility of change (hope)

15% is due to using the right technique
