In 2000, the Division of Psychotherapy of the American Psychological Association created a task force, chaired by John C. Norcross, Ph.D., to identify, operationalize, and disseminate information on evidence-based psychotherapy relationships. The two aims of the Division of Psychotherapy Task Force were to: 1) identify elements of effective psychotherapy relationships; and 2) identify effective methods of tailoring psychotherapy to the individual patient on the basis of his/her (nondiagnostic) characteristics. That is, the Task Force members sought to answer the two pressing questions of “What works in general in the psychotherapy relationship?” and “What works best for this particular patient?”

This second CE program on evidence-based psychotherapy relationships summarizes an extensive body of empirical research and proposes a ways of customizing the psychotherapy relationship to the individual patient. It seeks to provide the best available evidence to answer the question, “What relationship stances work best for this patient, with this nondiagnostic characteristic, under these circumstances?”
