Abstract
Data from 68 clients treated in a naturalistic setting were used to test a meditational model wherein the alliance was hypothesized to mediate the relationship between clients' pretreatment role expectations and psychotherapy outcome. This proposed model was tested with the procedures developed by Baron and Kenny (1986). All three expectations factors (Personal Commitment, Facilitative Conditions, Counselor Expertise) were related to the alliance. Only expectations for Counselor Expertise related to outcome, although a Sobel test revealed that this relationship was not mediated by the alliance. Suggested research directions, clinical implications, and study limitations are discussed.
