"How's it going?" Feelings about a psychotherapy session

The purpose of this research study is to validate two questionnaires to assess the feelings experienced by the patients toward their psychotherapists during an individual psychotherapy session. The final questionnaires will help researchers and clinicians to learn more about the patient's experiences as well as the therapeutic relationship, with the goal of improving the therapy process, patient satisfaction, and outcomes.
