Abstract

This paper addresses the question of how psychodynamic psychotherapists and behaviour therapists attempt to influence the cognitions of their patients. Two independent judges rated audioregistrations of therapy sessions of eight psychodynamic and eight behaviour therapists with regard to various distinct categories of cognitive restructuring. The validity of the system of categories was established in a previous study. The interrater reliability of the present ratings was investigated and found to be satisfactory. Although psychoanalytic therapists carried out fewer interventions altogether, no differences were found between the groups in the percentage of cognitive restructuring. However, there were differences in the way the two groups tried to achieve cognitive restructuring.
