Well, this article doesnt't talk about CBT and homework. It's about psychodynamic/psychoanalytical therapy, totally different approach.

I realise this isn't so for every case but is seems often when I hear about failures in this form of therapy the client has not taken it seriously and not done the homework. When I read posts on the subject I find myself asking, but what has the individual done to make this work? I get the feeling at times too that there is an attitude that it is the therapist's job to fix the client. What I am trying to say and what I believe the article has in part pointed to is that there is a responsibility on the part of the patient to make a commitment to the process. Remember, the theme of the article was having "Half the patient in therapy."

Again: The therapists reporting that only "half" the patient is in the room doesn't necessarily reflect on the patients' commitment but the therapist picking up on the patients' emotional dissociation, which is probably part of the problem of what brought those patients into therapy in the first place.
