Abstract
Twenty-three clients undergoing 15 sessions of individual imagery psychotherapy (emotive-reconstructive therapy) were compared with 23 persons participating in 8 2-hr., 20-min. didactic, self-help seminars to assess the comparative effectiveness of each treatment on self-attributions as measured by the semantic differential. As predicted, results indicated that both treatments were effective in producing a significant increase of positive self-attributions, but that the clients in individual therapy reported significantly more positive attributions than the self-help group. The superior effect produced by individual therapy is discussed within the context of its greater cost in time and money. It is suggested that some therapeutic effects, e.g., increased self-image, may be more inexpensively and efficiently obtained by means of didactic seminars rather than individual psychotherapy.
