Abstract: The article assesses the reliability of process ratings of psychotherapy with children. Videotape segments of the psychotherapeutic activity of 16 therapists during 32 separate sessions with children were rated for accurate empathy (AE), non-possessive warmth (NPW), and genuineness (GEN). The average interrater reliabilities of these ratings were estimated and found to be .72 for AE, .52 for NPW and .34 for GEN. Though moderate, these values were interpreted as a support for the hypothesis that reliable ratings of AE and NPW can be obtained for psychotherapeutic activity with children.
