Common skills that underlie the common factors of successful psychotherapy.
Key common factors across psychotherapy approaches are important to therapeutic effectiveness. We identify some common skills of the therapist that are specific to the psychotherapy role. Describing these common skills and contrasting them to the professional clinical and social roles helps to clarify our vision of the therapy role and to articulate its associated skills. Such descriptions assist faculty members who are training students who seek to learn the therapeutic role and skills.
