| Abstract: | This article describes the development of the Therapist Use-of-Self Orientation Questionnaire (TUSO-Q), an instrument designed
to measure therapists’ use-of-self orientations while working with clients. A total of 373 therapists participated in this
study. Exploratory factor analysis in the structural equation modeling context revealed three different therapist use-of-self
orientations: Transpersonal, Contextual, and Instrumental. The final model provided an excellent fit to the data. TUSO-Q scores
exhibited satisfactory evidence of internal consistency reliability and construct validity. Implications for the scale’s use
in clinical research and training are discussed. |
