    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Therapeutic Interventions
    • Value Systems

    Background:

    • Understanding client and therapist values is crucial for effective therapeutic relationships.
    • Previous research has not fully elucidated the specific value differences between these groups.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the value systems of therapists and clients, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic subgroups.
    • To identify unique value patterns associated with therapists and clients.
    • To explore value differences between alcoholic and non-alcoholic clients.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of value priorities using a sample of 118 clients (alcoholics and non-alcoholics) and 45 therapists.
    • Statistical examination of value loadings on specific factors.

    Main Results:

    • Therapists' values centered on self-expansion, competence, and other-directedness.
    • Clients' values emphasized self-constriction, religious morality, and inner-directedness.
    • Alcoholic clients placed higher value on self-control, social recognition, and a sense of accomplishment compared to non-alcoholic clients.

    Conclusions:

    • Distinctive value profiles differentiate therapists from clients.
    • Value differences between alcoholic and non-alcoholic clients were minimal, with alcoholics prioritizing specific achievement-related values.
    • Findings suggest implications for therapeutic interventions, potentially informed by a deprivation hypothesis.
