本文报告了一个项目的结果，评估了两种形式的个人心理治疗的40个管理/专业工人寻求帮助的临床严重的工作相关的困扰。为了揭示以前的研究所提出的悖论，即心理治疗技术在其内容上不同，但在结果上非常相似，这些患有临床水平的精神症状的客户，在交叉设计中接受了8次处方（认知/行为）和8次探索（关系导向）治疗，每个客户都看到了相同的治疗师。在三个月的随访结果显示，四分之三的客户的痛苦减少到正常范围内。结果有利于处方治疗的整体症状的减少，但没有显示出治疗工作相关的问题的救济之间的差异。有人认为，治疗患有公认的痛苦的个人可能是一个更有用的方式接近压力管理比预防小组工作的非强调科目通常报告。此外，该文件考虑了寻求帮助的客户提出的与工作有关的问题的类型。
This paper reports findings from a project which evaluated two forms of individual psychotherapy for 40 managerial/professional workers seeking help for clinically severe job-related distress. In order to throw light upon the paradox suggested by previous research that psychotherapeutic techniques differ in their content but are quite similar in outcome, these clients suffering from clinical levels of psychiatric symptoms, received eight sessions of Prescriptive (cognitive/behavioural) and eight sessions of Exploratory (relationship-oriented) therapy in a crossover design, with each client seeing the same therapist throughout. At three-month follow-up results showed a reduction in distress to within the normal range in three-quarters of clients. Results favoured Prescriptive therapy for reduction of overall symptoms, but showed no difference between therapies for the relief of job-related problems. It is argued that treating individuals suffering from acknowledged distress is perhaps a more useful way of approaching stress management than the preventive group work for non-stressed subjects usually reported. In addition the paper considers the types of job-related problems presented by clients seeking help.
