Judges examined audiotapes of 15 sessions conducted by experienced therapists representative of psychodynamic-psychoanalytic, humanistic-experiential, behavioral-cognitive, and integrative-eclectic approaches. Each session contained multiple instances of clients’ strong feelings. The findings yielded (a) five explicit methods for promoting strong feelings, each with its own contributing client condition; (b) five ways of using the occurrence of strong feelings; and (c) an overall patterned sequence of uses during a session.
