“…Clients rated their trainee therapist on single word attributes (i.e., warm, likable, friendly, expert, reliable, sociable, prepared, sincere, skillful, trustworthy) using a 7-point, Likert-type scale with qualitative anchors at 1 (not very) and 7 (very). The CRF-S has been found to highly correlate with the 36-item Counselor Rating Form (Barak & LaCrosse, 1975) and hold up well under factor analysis (Corrigan & Schmidt, 1983). Items were summed to produce a total Therapist Attributes score.…”

“…As a precaution, in case it became necessary to control for therapists in the analysis of supervisor effect on outcome, archival ratings from clients in the style of the shortened Counselor Rating Form (CRF-S; Corrigan & Schmidt, 1983) were also included. Clients rated their trainee therapist on single word attributes (i.e., warm, likable, friendly, expert, reliable, sociable, prepared, sincere, skillful, trustworthy) using a 7-point, Likert-type scale with qualitative anchors at 1 (not very) and 7 (very).…”

Supervision has been identified as perhaps the most important mechanism for developing competencies in therapists in training. However, there is scant research on the effect of supervisors on client outcome. Moreover, in a relatively recent review of the existing literature, significant methodological concerns were raised that attenuate the interpretability of the existing reported findings. The current study therefore sought to address such methodological concerns. Crosstabulation of supervisors by client outcome categories (i.e., recovered, reliably improved, no reliable change, deteriorated) indicated that supervisors are significantly related to client outcome, generating a moderate effect. Training programs are therefore encouraged to routinely track client outcomes as an objective indicator of quality supervision. Additional implications for training programs and suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…Both laboratory and field research has typically revealed very high scores on perceived counselor expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness after very brief contact (e.g., l0 min) or an entire counseling session. Although it had been a goal in constructing the CRF-S to encourage greater use of the lower end of the scales (Corrigan & Schmidt, 1983), Epperson and Pecnik (1985) found the CRF-S to be unsuccessful in this regard.In sum, the CRF is the best instrument available for measuring counselor expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness. Consistent use of this instrument is advantageous, because it allows comparison across several studies.…”

This review concerns recent research on counseling as a social influence process. Studies published since 1981 are presented in two groups, according to whether they pertain to the first or second stage of Strong's (1968) influence model, and within these groups, according to the type of methodology used (interview and noninterview analogue studies and field studies) and the variables of interest (counselor, message, and client variables, and combinations of these). Then, the social influence literature as a whole is critically examined as to its methodological and theoretical adequacy. Major criticisms include the low external validity of the research, the disproportionate emphasis of the research on counselor perceptions rather than influence itself, and the weak connection between research and theory. Solutions are proposed for particular methodological problems, and recommendations are made for further research and theory development. The goal of counseling is to help people solve problems and cope with life's difficulties (Fretz, 1982;Heppner, 1978) or, in other words, to help people change. Questions about the change process guide the work of counseling practitioners and researchers alike. For practitioners it is a practical question: "What can I do to help this client to change?" But the scientific A Review of Recent Social Influence ResearchWe thank Monica M. Menne for her tabulations on some of the studies, Rebecca M. Nerison for her editorial assistance, and Joan Rosenberg for her stimulating observations about the influence process in counseling.Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to P. Paul Heppner, 210 McAlester Hall, Psychology Department, University of Missouri--Columbia, Columbia, Missouri 6521 I. version of the question differs only in its generality and scope: "What can counselors do to help a wide variety of clients change?" Inquiry into the principles and processes of change is at the heart of counseling research and, as these questions show, vital to its link with practice.Social influence theory is one attempt to answer questions about the change process in counseling. Though influence has long been recognized--and denied--as an important part of counseling and psychotherapy (see Pepinsky & Pepinsky, 1954), formal articulation of the social influence point of view probably began with the publication of Frank's (1961) Persuasion and Healing. Research on the influence process in counseling began in the 1960s, undoubtedly stimulated by the attitude change Zeitgeist in social psychology, but also by Journal of Counseliog Psychology, 1989, Vol, 36, No. 3, 365-387 Copyright 1988 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 0022-0167/89/$00.75 365 366 P.

“…Total scores can range from 12 to 84. The CRF-S is highly correlated with the original scale (Corrigan & Schmidt, 1983;Epperson & Pecnik, 1985). Further, the measure demonstrated high internal consistency in the current study (α = .92), and the three factors have been supported through confirmatory factor analysis (Ponterrotto & Furlong, 1985).…”

“…To assess perceived treatment and clinician credibility, participants completed the CEQ credibility scale (see Appendix F) and the Counselor Rating Form-Short Version (CRF-S; Corrigan & Schmidt, 1983; see Appendix G), respectively. The CEQ credibility scale is derived from patients' summed responses to three cognitively-based items assessing how logical the therapy seems, how successful they think the treatment will be in reducing symptoms, and how confident they would be in recommending the treatment to a friend with similar problems.…”
