Abstract
An attempt to predict change in psychotherapy. Criteria included composite raw and residual gain scores based on factor analyses. Predictors included pretherapy scores on the criterion dimensions and on other variables. Intercorrelations within each set of criteria were generally low although some were significant. The few significant correlations between predictors and criteria did not reveal any systematic pattern except for pairs of variables derived from the same rater or shared sources of data. For clients at a university counseling center, raw or residual gains over relatively short psychotherapy are so specific to the given method that they are difficult or impossible to predict from measures based on independent methods.
