An Overview of Four Measures Developed to Test the Hill Process Model: Therapist Intentions, Therapist Response Modes, Client Reactions, and Client Behaviors

Abstract

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.
