Psychotherapy researchers have developed a body of research on the construct of therapist responsiveness. This literature seeks a clearer picture of how therapists adapt their relational and intervention strategies to their individual clients. The goal of this review was to summarize this literature and generate clinical recommendations. We used the PsycINFO database to identify theoretical papers, case studies, quantitative research, and qualitative research focused upon therapist responsiveness. After exclusion criteria were applied, 75 articles were included in the final thematic analysis. A thematic analysis organized the findings into categories that identified the contextual cues for responsiveness and summarized the clinical recommendations being made. These initial categories then were grouped into three overarching categories that describe responsiveness within the therapeutic relational context, within psychotherapy interventions, and in response to client characteristics. Within the presentation of findings, the methodological forms of support for each claim were examined to provide direction to the field. Based upon the findings, guiding principles were developed to identify contextual markers to guide responsiveness and enhance clinical practice. In addition, suggestions for future therapist training and directions for research are provided.

治疗师反应性文献的定性元分析回顾：实践和培训指南

心理治疗研究人员已经开发了一系列关于治疗师反应性结构的研究。这些文献试图更清楚地了解治疗师如何根据他们的个人客户调整他们的关系和干预策略。本综述的目的是总结这些文献并提出临床建议。我们使用 PsycINFO 数据库来确定专注于治疗师反应能力的理论论文、案例研究、定量研究和定性研究。应用排除标准后，75篇文章被纳入最终的专题分析。一项专题分析将调查结果分为几类，确定了反应性的上下文线索，并总结了正在提出的临床建议。这些最初的类别然后被分为三个总体类别，描述了治疗关系背景、心理治疗干预和对客户特征的反应。在介绍结果时，检查了支持每项声明的方法论形式，以为该领域提供指导。基于这些发现，制定了指导原则来确定上下文标记，以指导反应和增强临床实践。此外，还提供了对未来治疗师培训和研究方向的建议。对每项索赔的支持方法形式进行了审查，以便为该领域提供指导。基于这些发现，制定了指导原则来确定上下文标记，以指导反应和增强临床实践。此外，还提供了对未来治疗师培训和研究方向的建议。对每项索赔的支持方法形式进行了审查，以便为该领域提供指导。基于这些发现，制定了指导原则来确定上下文标记，以指导反应和增强临床实践。此外，还提供了对未来治疗师培训和研究方向的建议。
