title: Therapist A--B score and treatment outcome with psychiatric in patients: a table of random numbers.
abstract: The study evaluated the relationship between therapist personality and treatment success for 141 schizophrenics and 94 non-schizophrenics randomly assigned to short or long hospitalization. The 47 therapists were self-rated on the Whitehorn--Betz A--B scale in both the original and the Campbell versions. Outcome was assessed on the Health--Sickness Rating Scale and the Psychiatric Evaluation Form at discharge and at 1 and 2 year follow-up. The hypothesis of greater success for A--type therapists with schizophrenics was not confirmed, nor were alternative relationships evident in the data.
