Helping minority and low-income psychotherapy patients "Tell It Like It Is".

Abstract

The development and field testing of an instructional slide/cassette program entitled "Tell It Like It Is" are described. The program is a major component of a three-year study to assess the effects of patient orientation, therapist orientation, and the interaction of the two upon the psychotherapy process and outcome for working class and low income Mexican American, Black American, and Anglo American patients.
