Diagnosis as a Function of Race Pairing and Client Self-Disclosure.

Ridley, Charles R.

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v17 n3 p337-51 Sep 1986

This study investigated the effects of therapists' observer-client race pairing and client self-disclosure on observers' descriptive and attitudinal ratings of clients. A major implication is that observer race, client race, and client self-disclosure influence clinical decision-making. (Author/LHW)
