Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between behavior change and therapeutic conditions as defined by Carkhuff ((1969b). It was hypothesized there would be a significant positive relationship between helpee outcomes and the therapeutic conditions perceived by the individuals receiving aid from both professional and nonprofessional helpers. A questionnaire administered within the context of a personal interview was used to record perceptions. The hypothesis was not supported, however some variables were in the predicted direction.
