Beier, Ernst G. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1994
Discusses use of reward and punishment as reinforcers, then considers when reward-punishment model does not seem to elicit predictable results. Discusses need to go beyond simple explanation of reward and punishment and to consider other, more subtle forms of motivation. Specifically addresses issues of identity and conformity. (NB)

Fraps, Carolyn L.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1982

Questionnaire items concerned the client's situation, past behavior in fulfilling commitments, self-prediction of session attendance, and reaction to the initial interview. A critical response scale proved highly predictive of the number of treatment sessions attended in both initial and…

Gorecki, Paul R.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1981
Results indicated little or no correspondence between self-report scores and behavior in a contrived in vivo setting or between role play and behavior with a sample of college students. Assertion was enhanced in the role play condition, but not in the contrived in vivo condition. (JAC)

Heisler, Gerald H.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1982
Rated community mental health clinic clients after the initial session. Therapist ratings of client behavior were related significantly to subsequent attendance.

Interrater reliabilities were…

Studied child psychotherapy by analyzing therapists' verbal behaviors with two child clients. According to the research expectations, high levels of interrater reliabilities for the Carkhuff scales and relatively high agreement levels for Hill's system were found. Overall verbal response behavior of each therapist was summarized best through…
