Hill, Clara E.; And Others
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v43 n2 p207-17 Apr 1996
Twelve experienced therapists completed a questionnaire, and 8 of the 12 were then interviewed about their experiences with a therapeutic impasse that ended in therapy termination. Data were analyzed using a qualitative methodology. Results indicated most of the clients were anxious and depressed with personality disorders and interpersonal problems. Therapists perceived impasses as profoundly negative for clients and therapists. (KW)
