摘要

The study examined links between patient characteristics, therapy experiences, and outcomes. A catamnestic survey was sent to 1210 former patients of the Academic Psychotherapy Center; 276 responded (55% women, 45% men, mostly under 30). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling, k-means clustering, and neural network modeling. Results showed that expectations mediated between patient traits and outcomes, while the therapeutic relationship mediated between interventions and both immediate and delayed effectiveness. Cluster analysis identified two patient groups with distinct experiences and results. Neural networks indicated moderate outcome predictability. Findings emphasize psychotherapy’s complexity and the key role of expectations and therapeutic relationships.
