title: The Therapist Evaluation Inventory: evidence for an unidimensional scale.
abstract: The internal structure of the Therapist Evaluation Inventory (TEI) was investigated with data gathered from therapy sessions conducted by 16 individual psychotherapists with 292 psychiatrically disturbed adolescent inpatients. A principal components analysis (Varimax rotation) indicated a single dimension that accounted for 70.39% of scale variance. The findings did not corroborate a factor structure consistent with the a priori scales of the TEI.
