The White Betz A B Scale is a Nonprojective personality measure

Studies of therapist personality[]

Geller and Berzins (1976) studied 95 prominent US psychologists using the 19 item version of the scale. Studies have shown that clinicians who are high scorers on the White Betz A B Scale were more successful with schizophrenic patients, while low scoring therapists were more successful with neurotics.[1]
