Abstract
Therapist members of the seven most representative Portuguese therapeutic associations and some independent therapists (N = 161) were surveyed regarding (a) demographic characteristics, (b) theoretical perspectives, (c) satisfaction with training and career, (d) worldviews, (e) epistemological profiles, and (f) optimal psychotherapeutic practices. On the basis of the therapists' scores on organicism, metaphorism, rationalism, and empiricism, a constructivism index was derived. Data are reported on the most salient correlates of this factor, especially optimal therapeutic practices.
