Preliminary Analyses<br />

Since the data for the present study consist of helping skills nested within clients<br />

who are nested within therapists, the observations are not independent, which violates an<br />

assumption of logistic regression analyses. To address this assumption, preliminary tests<br />

of differences among therapists and among clients within therapists were conducted at the<br />

alpha = .05 level. The therapist and client effects were tested separately for each of the 10<br />

skill categories using t-tests of covariance parameter estimates obtained using<br />

Generalized Linear Mixed Modeling (GLMM) in SAS with the PROC GLIMMIX<br />

command. Clients nested within therapists as a random factor occasionally produced<br />

statistically significant effects, so the cl(th) nesting factor was retained for all 10<br />

categories analyzed. However, therapists as a random factor did not produce any<br />
