Differential Effectiveness of Directive and Nondirective Group Therapies as A Function of Client Internal-External Control

Abramowitz, Christine V.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 42, 6, 849-853, Dec 74

Twenty-six mildly distressed college student clients were assigned randomly to a nondirective or directive group. Internally oriented persons were more therapeutically responsive to the nondirective than to the directive approach, whereas the reverse tended to be the case among those more externally oriented.
