Change in patients' motivation for psychotherapy.

In dynamic psychotherapy diagnostic and prognostic criteria are necessary in order to determine the kind of therapy best suited to a patient's idiosyncratic needs. Linked with these needs, and thus one important criterion, is a patient's motivation for change rather than for relief of symptoms. In order to assess this motivation, the author used a seven-point scale. Of 42 patients evaluated over eight treatment sessions, only nine patients' motivation for change decreased.
