In the field of clinical psychology, client resistance is considered a significant factor in understanding that client’s conscious or unconscious characteristics. Within Dohsa-hou therapy, the resistance of the client is expressed through not only speech and behavior but also action, as it is an area of psychotherapy that deals primarily with the client’s actions (dohsa). In this study, we therefore developed an assessment tool that can evaluate clients’ resistance based not only on their behavior and attitudes, but also on their actions. The assessment tool is also useful for the diagnosis of the client’s psychological state and subsequent establishment of his or her treatment plan. The assessment tool developed in this study was named “Client Resistance Checklist for Dohsa-hou Therapy,” and its reliability examined and evaluated. This was carried out by undertaking an actual Dohsa-hou therapy practice setting, wherein two people with an equal level of Dohsa-hou therapy experience evaluated the client’s resistance using the developed assessment tool. The concurrence level of the evaluation data made by the two evaluators independently was gaged by calculating the κ coefficient, with this concurrence level then being used to evaluate the development tool. To be specific, the client’s speech and conscious refusal action showed a high level of concurrence, while no significant concurrence was found for resistance expressed through unconscious and instantaneous action.
