Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the theory and measurement of inter-session processes in psychotherapy.
  • To review existing studies on inter-session processes and their relevance.
  • To highlight the importance of inter-session work for psychotherapy research and practice.

Summary:

  • Patients' internalization, memory, and utilization of psychotherapeutic experiences between sessions are poorly understood.
