Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study applied a machine-learning-based skill assessment system to investigate the association between supportive counseling skills (empathy, open questions, and reflections) and treatment outcomes. We hypothesized that higher empathy and higher use of open questions and reflections would be associated with greater symptom reduction.
