Bridging the gap between patient self perception and therapist apperception: CR conceptualization in psychotherapeutic process

According to Ciorbea and Nedelcea, (2012) studies in psychotherapy have increasingly maintained the notion that psychotherapy overestimates theoretical models, whilst minimizing the influence of the therapist variables on the therapeutic process (Ciorbea and Nedelcea, 2012). Moreover, meta-analytical research has illustrated no significant differences in the inefficiency of the different psychotherapy models (Wampold, 2001, Drisko 2004; Sprenkle and Blow, 2004). Since 1960, the focus has been shifted to accurate, and controlled standards to evaluate psychotherapeutic techniques (Ciorbea and Nedelcea, 2012). My basic assertion in this article is that when relating to psychotherapeutic encounters there is a distinction between the patient’s content and behaviour, and the therapist’s representation and understanding of it. Regardless of the therapist’s theoretical approach, he often encounters inconsistencies, in ways he perceives the patient and/or his situation and experience.
