Jumping in again: it seems to be the combination of the state the patient is in with the state the therapist is in! The less impaired the patient, the less it takes from the therapist to accomplish effective work in therapy. That's the conclusion I come to, anyway.

Conversely, the more impaired the patient the more skilled the therapist needs to be to produce a good outcome.
