Document Summary
Relatively small differences comparing different types of treatment. Talking therapy works - this is a strong effect. Factors such as therapist-client alliance, empathy, therapist certainty that the therapy will help, clear goal setting, gains in knowledge, etc. are essential to change in therapy. Account for at least 30% of the benefits seen in therapy. Therapeutic relationship factors are the most likely common factor, such as: Ensures client is heart and directs goal setting: goal setting. Smart, measurable, attainable, relevant, time bound: between session homework.

This is very true for behavioural activation and exposure work in treating depression and anxiety: within a session. Steps: check in: informed consent, review of goals, personal updates, review of homework sheets, psychoeducational teaching. 3: first we do some work, then we will do some play.
