Several tools attempt to measure client resistance but the foundation on which they are based has been subject to theory and process critique. This study highlights salient points regarding resistance and reveals a consensus or pattern of pros and cons for using The Client Resistance Scale (CRS), developed by James Mahalik in 1992, at various times in the psychotherapeutic process. The CRS is intended to assist therapists with knowledge about their patient that may be instrumental in helping create treatment plans. The research questions are: What are the pros for integrating The Client Resistance Scale (Mahalik, 1992) into a psychotherapy practice at the beginning, middle, and end of treatment; and, what are the cons for integrating The Client Resistance Scale (Mahalik, 1992) into a psychotherapy practice at the beginning, middle, and end of treatment? The study employs a qualitative methodology, capturing data by interviews with three experienced therapists, and following the protocol for thematic coding with clusters in core themes for the data analysis. The results of the study reveal that: (a) used in conjunction with a client as a tool for resistance awareness, the CRS may be helpful to indoctrinate the client to the psychotherapeutic process at the beginning of treatment and for benchmarking to measure treatment progress; (b) the CRS may be helpful to identify possible resistance, particularly with respect to the hurt/depression, anger, and anxiety categories emanating from the opposition to painful affect in the middle of treatment; (c) the CRS is least helpful at the end of treatment, except as confirmation of progress from the beginning to end of treatment; and (d) the only con with using the CRS that exists at all times during treatment is the potential repercussion that a client feels like he or she is being labeled as healthy or problematic.Subjects--Topical Terms:
