Table 3.
Correlations (Spearman's rho) between frequency of therapist behaviours during the full treatment period and residual change in depressive symptoms (MADRS-S) at post-treatment, 1 year follow-up and 2 year follow-up, and number of completed modules (n = 42).
| Therapist behaviour | Change score MADRS-S |
Completed modules | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre–post | Pre–1 year | Pre–2 year | ||
| Emphasise the patient's responsibility | −.12 | .02 | .12 | .33 * |
| Affirming | .42** | .26 | .39 * | .74 ** |
| Clarifying the framework | .04 | −.02 | .06 | .37 * |
| Self-disclosure | .44** | .07 | .12 | .39 * |
| Informing about modules | −.16 | −.14 | .13 | .16 |
| Confronting | −.16 | −.02 | .06 | .21 |
| Urging | .16 | .02 | −.03 | .26 |
| Encouraging | .52** | .17 | .31 | .79 ** |
| Guiding | .27 | .12 | .29 | .67 ** |
Note: * = p < .05, ** = p < .01; positive correlations indicate greater symptom improvement and module completion.
