Psychotherapy is inherently relational, and relationship behaviors are shaped by the culture in which they occur.  Therefore, clients in one country may respond very differently than those in another to the same intervention.  This study is one of several co-authored by Department of Counseling and Human Services Distinguished Faculty Fellow Guangrong Jiang that examines how Chinese clients respond to receiving directives, a common therapy intervention.

心理治疗的本质是关系性的，而关系性行为的产生是由其所处的文化所决定的。因此，一个国家的来访者对同一干预的反应可能与来自另一个国家的来访者截然不同。这项研究是心理咨询与公共服务系荣誉特聘教授江光荣的多项研究之一，该研究深入探讨了中国来访者对于接受咨询师的指导（一种常见的干预）是如何反应的。
