Association between therapist attunement to patient outcome expectation and worry reduction in two therapies for generalized anxiety disorder. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 3.697) Pub Date : 2020-09-03 Alice E Coyne,Michael J Constantino,Averi N Gaines,Holly B Laws,Henny A Westra,Martin M Antony
Patients' higher psychotherapy outcome expectation (OE) correlates with improvement. Thus, it seems important that therapists attune to this belief, both in the moment and over time, to capitalize on its value when higher or respond to its potential risk when lower. Conceptually, attunement can have different guises, including the extent to which therapists (a) accurately estimate their patients' momentary

The social-cognitive well-being model (SCWB; Lent, 2004) was designed to explain subjective well-being and other aspects of positive functioning within particular life domains. It has received a substantial amount of inquiry, especially in the context of academic and work satisfaction, in student and adult samples in the United States and other countries (Lent & Brown, 2006a, 2008).

We investigated the relationship
