“…The learning of these expectations and rules through experience is referred to as the socialization process (Friedlander, 1980). Counseling research suggests that when clients have inappropriate role expectations, they are more likely to drop out of counseling (Latorre, 1977). Therefore, it seems reasonable to assume that if role discrepancies exist in supervision a similar process may occur.…”

“…One method of informing trainees about the supervisory process is through role induction. Role-induction procedures have been used in counseling, and have been shown to enrich both counseling process (Latorre, 1977) and outcome (Friedlander, 1980). In the counseling relationship, role induction involves educating the client in the expectations and roles of the client and counselor, thus expediting the socialization process.…”

The effects of a role‐induction procedure on beginning counselor‐trainees' perceptions of supervision were examined using a 10‐minute audiotaped summary of Bernard's (1979) model of supervision. Nineteen trainees were administered the role‐induction procedure at either the 2nd, 5th, or 9th week of the academic term. Two self‐report scales assessed trainees' conceptualization of supervision as well as expectations and attitudes toward the supervisory process. Results indicated that trainees evaluated supervision more negatively over the time period before the role induction. Following role induction, trainees reported a clearer conceptualization of supervision and a greater willingness to reveal concerns to their supervisors.

“…Although expectations of clients in general are often varied, this variability becomes even more pronounced when the clients are of lower socioeconomic status (SES), or from different races and cultures [30,31 J. Hansen et al suggest that there is an inverse relationship between the accuracy of expectations about therapy and social class because opportunities to learn about therapy are more available to the upper classes [4J.…”

A model is proposed for facilitating a successful therapeutic outcome via creation and maintenance of a positive Therapy Schema in the client. Such a schema is constructed from three components: 1) the client's prior experience with therapy, 2) the client's expectations about the therapeutic experience, and 3) the client's cognitive style. Literature on cognitive style as it relates to therapy and to enhancing client expectations is discussed. It is recommended that practicing therapists make more use of non-specific treatment factors and techniques of pre-therapy training to enhance client expectations and reduce premature termination from therapy.The schema concept in cognitive psychology has fostered some debate; however, there seems to be consensus on certain aspects [1] : schemas are cognitive structures used in information processing and retrieval. They are created and modified by experience, and each may include a prototypical event to which variations are compared. They are relatively stable over time. New information is usually assimilated into an existing schema rather than the schema being drastically changed to accommodate new data. They allow one to make inferences when knowledge is incomplete or ambiguous, and therefore enable the perceiver to better predict, and hence, control, present and future events. Taylor and Crocker summarize the functions of schemas as enabling the perceiver to "identify stimuli quickly, 'chunk' an appropriate unit, fill in information missing from the stimulus configuration and select a strategy for obtaining further information, solving a problem, or reaching a goal." [2, p. 7] This article will attempt to describe, both theoretically and empirically, a particular schema, as well as its behavioral counterpart. The schema to be discussed involves psychotherapy and shall henceforth be referred to as the 15

“…Since the Hoehn-Saric et al study, at least 50 journal articles and as many doctoral dissertations have discussed the implementation of pretherapy orientations. Heitler (1976) and Latorre (1977) have published reviews of a portion of this literature. This paper focuses on procedures that have as their primary goal the transmission of accurate information about psychotherapy, rather than, for instance, the modeling of desirable client behavior.…”

The use of reception checks in client pretherapy orientation research

The psychotherapy research literature abounds with evidence of the problems of premature termination and unsatisfactory outcome, especially among low‐SES clients. In attempting to enhance the success rate of therapeutic services, some researchers have instituted pretherapy orientation procedures that convey information to clients with regard to the goals and processes of therapy. Although research in this area has continued for two decades, the efficacy of such procedures has not been established firmly. Even when orientations have demonstrable positive effects, the processes through which these results are achieved usually remain unknown. In order to gain an understanding of these mechanisms, researchers must employ measures to assess directly the immediate effects of the orientation. In a recent study, the authors developed a questionnaire to determine whether clients had attended to and understood a pretherapy videotape presentation and whether they recalled the material 1 month later. The results obtained on this measures facilitated the interpretation of the overall research findings.
