| Abstract: | The Rokeach Value Survey (RVS) and a confidence rating scale (CRS) were given to 13 experienced psychotherapists and 62 of their clients in field settings at the beginning and termination of therapy, or after 6 months. Results from the RVS demonstrate that therapists are more value stable than their clients and that clients shift their value systems toward their therapists' value configurations. Results from the CRS indicate that therapists are more confident than are clients and that clients' confidence increases across therapy. |
