Siegel's (1987) article, on the other hand, is more comprehensive in that it deals with confrontation as a therapeutic strategy during group therapy given to severely disturbed adolescents living in a single residential setting (The Augusta Mental Health Institute). Moreover, Siegel's article is conceptual rather than empirical.

Lonborg et al (1991) stated in their article that since the timing of verbal intervention was a pivotal component of therapeutic outcome, it was important to examine counselors' verbal responses as they occur in different parts of therapy; in this regard, the authors examined these verbal responses as they occurred in the initial interview, often called "intake interview," because it is commonly used to gather client information.

In their study, Lonborg and associates studied several verbal responses, only one of which was confrontation. The purposes of the study were said to be those of: a) determining if verbal responses change dover time as the initial session progressed; and b) whether beginning counselors more frequently used simple rather than complex verbal responses.
