Client-rated therapist empathy has been shown to cause more rapid and lasting positive outcome in outpatient psychotherapy. This clinical experiment investigated the effect of non-anonymous, session-by-session client ratings of their therapist's empathic behavior on subsequent client-rated empathy. Ten psychotherapists in an outpatient mental health clinic were randomly assigned to feedback vs. no-feedback conditions. Fifty adult "new client" subjects were recruited from the clinic's regular population of intakes and assigned to counselors using the clinic's normal triage procedure. All client subjects were diagnosed with a DSM-IV Axis 1 disorder. Therapy commenced over a 13-month catchment period. Clients whose counselors were in the feedback condition completed the 10 item Empathy Scale and disclosed their written ratings to the therapist after each session. Clients whose therapists were in the no-feedback condition completed the Empathy Scale after every session but did not disclose the ratings to their therapist. Logistic regression showed a main effect for feedback condition indicating that clients who provided their therapist with non-anonymous feedback were more likely to be completely satisfied with their therapist's empathic behaviors than clients who did not disclose their ratings (p = .0335). Clients who came to the therapists later in the catchment period were more likely to rate their therapist's empathic behavior as completely satisfactory than were clients who came to the therapists early in the catchment period (p = .0009). This suggests that therapists were learning to elicit higher client ratings over time and across clients. Therapist's theoretical orientation (CBT, Eclectic, Short-term/solution focused) independently helped predict complete client satisfaction with therapist empathic behavior (p < .0000) as did client gender (p = .0001). Therapy termination status (ongoing, quit, terminated, or referred) also made an independent contribution to the prediction of complete satisfaction as (p = .0001). Clients were more likely to rate their therapist's behavior as completely satisfactory later, rather than earlier in their treatment episode (p < .0000).
