- Abstract
The article presents a discussion on patient expectancies, symptom reduction and aspects of the initial psychotherapeutic interview. The nature and influence of patient expectancies in the psychotherapeutic interaction has aroused increasing interest in recent years. In the study presented in the article, 30 psychoneurotic outpatients were seen in initial psychotherapeutic sessions by therapists who were senior medical students. Measures were obtained of the patient's expectancy of symptom reduction due to therapy, the symptom reduction perceived by the patient, and the favorableness of the therapist's attitudes toward psychiatry and psychotherapy.
