Abstract
A series of positive suggestions derived from Ellis' rational-emotive therapy were compared with Hartland's “ego-strengthening” technique in terms of patients' belief in their efficacy. Both pre- and post-treatment ratings were collected. Patients tended to approach treatment with a positive feeling that the treatment would help them with their problem and this belief was strengthened after the 10 therapy sessions had been completed. Further ratings taken 6 months later indicated that patients' belief in the value of the suggestive therapy had not decreased over time.
