Richards, P. Scott; Davison, Mark L.
Counseling and Values, v33 n2 p109-20 Jan 1989
Used multidimensional scaling to investigate how theistic or atheistic values of an analogue counselor influenced trust of the counselor by 49 religious psychotherapy clients and 51 religious leaders. All 100 subjects were Mormons. Results suggest that subjects would be more likely to trust counselors more who self-disclosed a belief in God. (NB)
