title: Coding system of therapeutic focus on action and insight.
abstract: This study (a) used an established comprehensive process measure to uncover a latent pattern of therapeutic focus in cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic-interpersonal sessions; (b) used these results to develop the coding system of Therapeutic Focus on Action and Insight, which makes it possible to evaluate therapists' relative emphasis on the Constructing Meaning and Facilitating Action domains of in-session focus; and (c) evaluated its reliability and validity.
