The working alliance: Where are we and where should we go?

Vol.3,No.2(2009)

Abstract

This article describes important findings that have emerged from decades of research on the working alliance, as well as some of the clinical implications of these findings. In addition, future directions of research on this construct are suggested. Our hope is that this article will provide useful heuristics for better understanding the alliance, the therapeutic relationship more broadly, and the process of therapeutic change in general.
