    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of client-presented theories.
    • Categorization of identified theories into distinct types.

    Main Results:

    • Client theories of cure were classified into five main categories: relationship rescue, will power, vindication, bromide, and spiritualistic.
    • Differences in these theories were identified as a source of common client-therapist disputes.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding client theories of cure is crucial for effective psychotherapy.
    • Addressing discrepancies in cure theories can help mitigate common therapeutic impasses.
