摘要：
Homework assignments represent a standard intervention in psychotherapy. Homework provides the unique opportunity to emphasize patients' responsibility for therapeutic change and to intensify the therapeutic process. Despite these high potentials systematic homework assignment is still rare in practice. Psychotherapy research has just recently focused its attention on homework as an effective therapeutic method. Meanwhile the positive effects of homework use on therapeutic outcome have been demonstrated but little is known about therapeutic strategies to enhance these effects. The present article highlights the functions of homework within the therapeutic process and discusses its theoretical mechanisms of action. The article concludes with suggestions from both an empirical and practical point of view to further assist practitioners' use of homework assignments.
