Table 4.
Correlations (Spearman's rho) between frequency of therapist behaviours during the first two weeks of treatment 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 | −.21 | .04 | .04 | .10 |
| Affirming | .15 | .09 | .08 | .38 * |
| Clarifying the framework | .24 | .20 | .34 * | .31 * |
| Self-disclosure | .26 | .15 | −.26 | −.12 |
| Informing about modules | .01 | −.14 | −.10 | .01 |
| Confronting | .17 | .15 | .13 | .23 |
| Urging | .23 | .13 | −.03 | .29 |
| Encouraging | .38* | .10 | .12 | .58 ** |
| Guiding | .03 | −.01 | −.05 | .36 * |
Note: * = p < .05, ** = p < .01: positive correlations indicate greater symptom improvement and module completion.
