Experimental Treatment

Participants in the intervention group will continue their regular individual psychotherapy sessions. Additionally, after each session, they will complete a brief postsession battery consisting of two scales on the affective reactions of the participants towards their therapist during session and read general feedback encouraging them to discuss their feelings and reflections with their therapist. This questionnaire aims to prompt reflection on the own experience of the therapeutic relationship.
Group II: Individual PsychotherapyActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the control group will receive only treatment as usual (i.e., individual psychotherapy) sand and will not complete post-session questionnaires. Additionally, they will not receive any feedback at all encouraging them to discuss their emotional responses with their therapist during the session.
