Note: Classification of theoretical orientation was based on therapist self-report to an open-ended probe asking them to describe the theoretical orientation they used with this patient. Many therapists responded to the open-ended probe with one of these labels. In the four instances where therapists instead described the specific techniques they used, an attempt was made to classify the treatment into one of these categories (three were labeled Integrative; one was labeled Cognitive-Behavioral). The distribution of theoretical orientation sums to 38, although there were 32 therapists, because some therapists used different primary theoretical orientations with different patients enrolled in the study.
