Abstract:
The present study assessed the impact of client/relationship variables in predicting outcome in a dynamic/experiential approach to marital therapy. On the basis of an examination of the theoretical assumptions underlying this approach, three predictor variables were assessed: attachment, self-disclosure, and trust. Outcome criteria included (1) marital satisfaction level, (2) marital satisfaction gains, (3) intimacy level, and (4) therapist rating of improvement. It was hypothesized that couples presenting with higher levels of attachment, self-disclosure and trust would be more likely to be m

BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been a push to measure and monitor the quality of health care and the delivery of effective services. Substance use disorders are debilitating and in order to better understand this facet of substance abuse, it is important for organizations and providers to assess the quality of services, client satisfaction, and the relationships that exist between clients and treatment providers.

Wrist surgery is a common method for treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) although few studies have examined patient outcomes or predictive correlates of such procedures. The objectives of this study were to characterize Utah workers who received surgery for CTS in terms of relevant presurgical and outcome variables and to identify presurgical correlates of patient outcomes. Participants were 75 Utah workers' compensation patients who underwent surgery for CTS from 1999-2002 and were at least 6 months postsurgery at time of follow-up.

This highlights the need for identification of reliable predictors of benefit. Furthermore, little is known about the time course and magnitude of perceptual learning associated with the use of NLFC amplification. A better understanding of these
