The Hill Counsellor Verbal Response Category System-Revised (HCVRCS-R:Friedlander, 1982) was used to examine the counsellor response mode profile ina short-term dynamic psychotherapy (STOP) process developed by Davanloo (1978, 1980). Using a single case design, three sessions (early, middle and late) of the complete sixteen session treatment were analyzed and categorized by independent raters in order to establish the exact pattern of interventions in STDP. Results showed that the counsellor response modes used across the three sessions were predominantly information seeking, providing information, interpretation and confrontation, respectively, accounting for 93.6% of all responses. A discussion of these findings and additional explanations with respect to counsellor response mode in STDP are provided.
