Summary Efforts to understand the processes of change in psychotherapy have typically been based on either clinicians' experiences or on empirical studies somewhat removed from the day‐to‐day work and concerns of psychotherapists. This paper reviews selected examples of insights and issues derived from each of these sources. It is suggested that our understanding of change processes in psychotherapy will be enhanced by the growing convergence between the two approaches.
