Abstract
This article relates the Consumer Reports (1995) study to the framework of the tripartite model of mental health and therapeutic outcomes (H. H. Strupp & S. W. Hadley, 1977) and calls attention to major unsolved problems in the assessment of therapeutic change. The model envisions three perspectives for evaluating outcomes: adaptive behavior (society), sense of well-being, and personality structure. The self-report perspective is viewed as having its own validity; however, it needs to be complemented by the other two perspectives of the model. Integration of the three perspectives has remained a somewhat elusive goal.

The results of this analysis suggest that therapy outcomes are importantly determined by the patient's ability to take advantage of the particular relationship the therapist has to offer; conversely, therapy fails if there is a poor match on these dimensions.

Results indicate that patient difficulty may mediate certain aspects of therapists' responses to training, and this finding, if generalizable, has important implications for manualized therapy research, especially multisite trials.

Results showed that the therapeutic outcome was a function of the patient's ability to become involved in a therapeutic relationship and to work productively within the framework proffered by the therapist.

Results showed that the outcome of psychotherapy depends markedly on the patient's ability to form a productive working relationship with the therapist early in therapy, and deep-seated characterological problems, manifesting themselves particularly in negativism, hostility, and other resistances may give rise to insurmountable barriers resulting in negative therapeutic outcomes.

The psychotherapy studies completed at Vanderbilt University had their antecedents in research begun by Strupp in the 1950s, and Vanderbilt I focused on the relative contribution of specific and nonspecific factors in therapy, whereas Vanderbilt II sought to study the effects of training in time-limited dynamic psychotherapy on process and outcome.

Differences in process and outcome are shown to be due to the quality of the therapeutic interaction, which was importantly determined by the patient's character structure and the manner in which it enabled the patient to relate to the therapist.

Patients who were highly aware of their role as a "subject" in an experiment had outcomes that were consistent with the primary hypotheses of the study, although training did not significantly improve outcomes.
