“…From a clinical practice perspective, this review suggests that therapists should monitor and be careful of their levels of responsiveness, looking also at the clients' perspective, to reduce discrepancies and adapt their interventions to the patient's needs. Finally, in terms of training, this study recommends including the promotion of TR in training procedures since it is an essential interpersonal competence able to positively affect the WA and treatment effectiveness (see Messina et al, 2018). However, this systematic review presents some limitations.…”

Therapist responsiveness is an emerging construct in psychotherapy research that still lacks a clear definition and, consequently, a unique operationalization. Indeed, there is a great overlap between therapist responsiveness and other variables, such as attunement, flexibility, and empathy. This overlap inevitably hinders the assessment of the therapist’s responsiveness, although it is crucial for the effectiveness of the treatments. Therefore, the current systematic review aims at exploring the different methodologies of measurement and analysis of therapist responsiveness, including both direct and indirect instruments. The results confirmed difficulties and divergences in the operationalization of the construct, as shown by the great heterogeneity found in the choice and use of the tools. Furthermore, this review provides guidance for future research, clinical practice, and training of therapists.
