ABSTRACT : A short-term psychoanalytic counseling model was used to identify process dimensions and client outcomes. Six counselors saw 16 clients over the course of 2 semesters. Clients responded to measures at pre- and posttest and after each session, and counselors filled out measures following each session. Sessions were audio- and videotaped and viewed by trained raters. P-technique factor analysis identified 4 dimensions: Psychoanalytic Technique, Working Alliance, Client Resistance, and Client Transference. Results of hierarchical linear modeling indicated that counselor use of psychoanalytic technique and the working alliance increased steadily across the sessions, whereas client resistance steadily decreased. The alliance dimension also changed in a quadratic fashion. The process dimensions also influenced each other and were related to better client outcomes. Implications are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
