The study evaluated the relationship between therapist personality and treatment success for 141 schizophrenics and 94 non‐schizophrenics randomly assigned to short or long hospitalization. The 47 therapists were self‐rated on the Whitehorn‐Betz A‐B scale in both the original and the Campbell versions. Outcome was assessed on the Health‐Sickness Rating Scale and the Psychiatric Evaluation Form at discharge and at 1 and 2 year follow‐up. The hypothesis of greater success for A‐type therapists with schizophrenics was not confirmed, nor were alternative relationships evident in the data.
