“…Meanwhile, there is much that can be done to improve the existing reliabilities (see Moras & Hill, 1991). In contrast to typical adherence scales, adherence/competence scales require the use of well-trained experts in the delivery of the examined modality.…”

This paper reports on the development of the Penn Adherence/Competence Scale for Supportive-Expressive (SE) Dynamic Psychotherapy. The rating scale includes 45 items which are rated separately for both frequency (adherence) and quality (competence) of therapists' application. Audiotaped from four SE therapists who saw a total of 33 depressed patients were rated by two independent judges. The same judges also rated four cognitive (CT) therapists who saw a total of seven patients. Interjudge reliability for the six subscales and the two total scale scores ranged from .35 to .79, and internal consistency coefficients ranged from .62 to .95. While SE therapists used more expressive and interpretative techniques than did CT therapists, the two groups did not differ in their use of supportive and general techniques. In addition, SE therapists were judged to be more competent in their use of SE specific techniques than were CT therapists. SE therapists' adherence and competence were not associated with patients' level of psychiatric severity as indicated by pretreatment and concurrent levels of depression, comorbid personality disorder, or level of psychological health. Therapists' adherence and competence were unrelated to a concurrent measure of the therapeutic alliance.

“…Rater selection and training. In the Moras and Hill (1991) review of the literature, we concluded that minimal empirical work has been done on criteria to use for rater selection for process measures. For the HCVRCS, we have generally used undergraduate judges with high grade point averages, motivation, and ability to do the task (as determined by having them rate a practice transcript).…”

The author presents a brief history of process research leading to the development of a process model, which guided the development of four measures: therapist intentions, therapist response modes, client reactions, and client behaviors. A description and information about format for data collection, validity, reliability, and research findings is presented for each of the measures. Future directions in terms of methodological issues, measurement development, and research areas are also presented.

“…More recent studies (Hill, O'Grady, & Price, 1988; Moras & Hill, 1991) point to the need to identlfy rater characteristics (like personality features and demographic variables) as well as training practices that can affect coding, especially'on scales that require a relatively high degree of inference (like alliance scales). The current study investigated the impact of coder orientation on ratings of the therapeutic alliance.…”
