What Makes Therapy Effective?

The effectiveness of therapy is a result of the dynamic interplay among many complex components. It includes:
  1. the characteristics of the client
  2. the therapeutic relationship
  3. theoretical orientation of the therapist, and 
  4. the expectancy or placebo effect 
(Lambert & Bergin, 1994).
