Moos (1974) has extended Roger's (1951) concept of real-ideal self-differences to evaluate patient's perceptions of real and ideal treatment environments. Real-ideal discrepancies in patient's judgments of treatment environments in both inpatient and community treatment programs were found by Moos to be negatively correlated with their ratings of general satisfaction with the program, liking for the staff, perceived opportunity for personal development, and positively correlated with self-rated anxiety.
