						95% CI
	B	SE B	β	t	p	Lower bound	Upper bound	R²
Model 1: Emotional bond at t₃								.45

t₁ = at baseline. Model 1 = stages of change at baseline significantly predicting emotional bond at the end of therapy. Model 2 = stages of change at baseline significantly predicting agreement on collaboration at the end of therapy.
