Do therapists assess the quality of the therapeutic relationship accurately?

Become Psychology — Thu, 30 May 2019 07:20:26 +0000

Perhaps surprisingly, the research seems to suggest that we are not that good when it comes to accurately estimating how our clients experience us. Orlinsky et al. (1994) for example, found that therapist assessment of the quality of the therapeutic alliance bore little relationship to the outcome of therapy. Therapists tended to rate the strength […]

How a relational perspective can help understand and resolve ruptures or strains in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other collaborative models of therapy.

Become Psychology — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 14:15:24 +0000

I really like the idea of interventions as relational acts – that is, the same intervention can be experienced differently depending on a client’s characteristic ways of relating to themselves and others. This can mean for example, that a therapist who provides minimal structure might be experienced as self-affirming by a client who experienced controlling […]

Therapeutic alliance ruptures do not only involve confrontation events.

Become Psychology — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 12:28:36 +0000

What does an alliance rupture mean to you? A client who is affronted by something you’ve said, and storms out of a session? A raised voice or intense distress in response to discussion of a break? A complaint made to your service? All these may indeed signal a rupture in need of addressing. However more […]

Helpful and unhelpful therapist responses to strains and problems in the therapeutic alliance.

Become Psychology — Mon, 28 May 2018 10:41:59 +0000

Is there a consensus based on research regarding what are helpful and unhelpful therapist responses to ruptures or strains in the therapeutic relationship? Yes, there is, and interestingly, research suggests that experienced therapists tend to make more unhelpful responses even after intensive training on the subject. I explain what helps and what does not in […]

Private Practice Workshop Manchester 16.02.2018.

Become Psychology — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:02:28 +0000

We do not often talk about our confidence levels as therapists but I think reflecting on this and addressing any “therapist blocks” are important in private practice because they may relate to the ways you interact with clients and approach marketing. I address this and many other issues in my workshop on private practice in […]
