Abstract
Observations were made of the effects of varying depths of interpretation on resistance. Conclusions were made that the therapist interpretations systematically influence patient responses; that resistance level of a patient remark does not influence the depth of interpretation; and that moderate, rather than deep or superficial, levels of interpretation are most effective in lowering resistance. 16 refs.Keywords
