The person of the therapist.
Abstract   Reversing the current primacy in outcome studies of therapy comparisons, this study brings the person of the therapist to the fore. The character of the therapist is a vital component in effective psychotherapy, especially ambitious, relationship-focused, long-term work. Although the person-therapist relationship contributes only 10 to 20% to outcome, identifying beneficial and malign characteristics across therapies is a fruitful area for research, training, and service delivery.
