  • Title: Treatment failure in humanistic and experiential psychotherapy.
    Author: Watson JC.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 2011 Nov; 67(11):1117-28. PubMed ID: 21993714.
    Abstract:
    In this article, treatment failure in humanistic experiential psychotherapy is defined and explored. I outline several markers that indicate when treatment is not going well. Factors that contribute to failure include client factors, for example, emotional processing capacities, shame, and impoverished narratives, as well as therapist factors including lack of empathic attunement and inflexibility. Treatment failure is illuminated with a case example drawn from humanistic/experiential psychotherapy, and clinical strategies for dealing with failures are recommended.
