Helpful and Nonhelpful Events in Brief Counseling Interviews: An Empirical Taxonomy.

Elliott, Robert

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v32 n3 p307-22 Jul 1985

Counselor responses in 24 one-session helping interviews provide the basis for an empirical taxonomy of change events in counseling. Cluster analyses identified eight kinds of helpful events grouped into two "superclusters" corresponding to task and interpersonal aspects of helping. Six kinds of nonhelpful events were identified.
