Document Summary

1: therapeutic relationships influence outcome of therapy. The therapist relationship skills and strength of the therapeutic alliance are the most powerful predictors of client outcome across many therapeutic orientations (green & herget, 1991, p. 321) Therapeutic alliance is determined by both the clinician and the client: mutuality, similarity (role induction) explaining the therapy you will be using. Explaining the type of task they will be doing and if they have any outside work: clients" perceptions of the quality of the therapeutic alliance form early and tend to be stable. For the transference to be successful, you can"t tell the therapist anything about you. They want it to be portrayed through transference: reparative/developmentally needed: most often used with severely damaged clients, offer reparenting and nurturing in an effort to compensate for deprivation in early relationships. They all see existential and the therapeutic relationship within itself.
