The hypothesis that the nature of the therapeutic relationship is a function of "expertness" rather than "school" is supported by the results of four multiple factor analyses based on Q-technique assessments by 4 judges of 10 recorded therapy interviews. Of the 10 therapists furnishing data, 4 were nondirective, 4 were psychoanalytically trained, and 2 were Adlerian. 5 were "experts" and 5 were "non-experts." "No factors were found which clearly separate therapists of one school from another," but factors were discovered "which clearly differentiated experts from non-experts regardless of school."
