Psychotherapy homework adherence improves when patients receive written behavioral prescriptions instead of verbal ones. Written instructions enhance recall and compliance with therapeutic assignments.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Psychotherapy often relies on homework assignments for behavior change.
  • Patient adherence to these therapeutic homework assignments is crucial but understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of verbal versus written behavioral prescriptions.
  • To assess the impact on recall and adherence to psychotherapy homework.

Main Methods:

  • A within-subjects, counterbalanced crossover design was employed.
  • Thirty subjects were randomly assigned to either verbal or written prescription conditions.
  • Recall and self-reported adherence to homework were measured.

Main Results:

  • Written behavioral prescriptions resulted in significantly better recall.
