Client resistance as predicted by therapist behavior: a study of sequential dependence
Abstract
This study examined the relation of client resistant behavior to therapist directive behavior in a sample of 10 prominent archival therapy sessions. Client and therapist speaking tums were coded, with the behavior being aggregated into 1st-order 2 x 2 sequential frequency matrices for each dyad: one set with therapist behavior as antecedent and another set with client behavior as antecedent. The dependency of client and therapist behavior on the behavior of the other was considered across different dyads. The results indicated an overall trend, with therapist directive behavior slightly increasing the probability of subsequent client resistance. No similar effect of client behavior on subsequent therapist behavior was found. Implications of the findings with respect to research and practice are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
