Twenty-four traditional, 3 transitional, and one dynamic P-technique studies were reviewed to identify core psychotherapeutic processes. These time-series studies analyzed therapeutic processes in nearly 500 clients and 100 therapists, with ratings of over 25,000 units on nearly 1000 variables, accounting for over 61% of the total variance per analysis, with an average Cronbach alpha > .82 per factor. On the basis of variable content, 159 of the 184 traditional P-technique factors were classified in four core client and five core therapist process areas: Client Affect, Therapeutic Work, Relationships, and Information-Giving/Help Seeking; Therapist Interventions, Support, Information Seeking/Questioning, Gives Information/Discusses Therapy Parameters, and Disclosure. Convergence of exchange factors was also notable. Transitional and dynamic factor models revealed similar factors as those found in exploratory applications. Results suggest an empirically supported set of core therapeutic processes and a direction for process research in the future.
