“…Perhaps a measure of learning from clients that parallels a measure of important events in therapy (e.g., Cummings, Martin, Hallberg & Slemon, 1992) could be developed. The measure could be an easy, open-ended, paper-and-pencil means of identifying the most important lessons therapists are taking away from a therapy session and/or relationship.…”

Twelve trainees (3 men and 9 women) who had recently completed predoctoral internships at a university counseling center were interviewed about what they had learned from clients. Data were analyzed using a consensual qualitative research method. Participants reported learning things about doing therapy, themselves, client dynamics, human nature, the therapy relationship, and the usefulness of supervision. In addition, participants highlighted the importance of consultation and self-reflection to help them recognize what they learned. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

“…However, these different dimensions of the alliance may have different emphasis throughout the therapeutic process according to therapy participants (Cummings, Martin, Hallberg, & Slemon, 1992;Fitzpatrick, Iwakabe, & Stalikas, 2005;Horvath & Marx, 1991). Webb et al (2011), found that the agreement on tasks and goals factor is a better predictor of symptomatic changes in CBT than the relationship factor (bond).…”

The therapeutic alliance is considered the most robust process variable associated with positive therapeutic outcome in a variety of psychotherapeutic models [Alexander, L. B., & Luborsky, L. (1986). The Penn Helping Alliance Scales. In L. S. Greenberg & W. M. Pinsoff (Eds.), The psychotherapeutic process: A research handbook (pp. 325-356). New York: Guilford Press; Horvath, A. O., Gaston, L., & Luborsky, L. (1993). The alliance as predictor of benefits of counseling and therapy. In N. Miller, L. Luborsky, J. Barber, & J. P. Docherty (Eds.), Psychodynamic treatment research: A handbook for clinical practice (pp. 247-274). New York, NY: Basic Books; Horvath, A. O., Del Re, A. C., Flückiger, C., & Symonds, D. (2011). Alliance in individual psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, 48, 9-16; Orlinky, D., Grawe, K., & Parks, B. (1994). Process and outcome in psychotherapy: Noch einmal. In A. Bergin & J. S. Garfield (Eds.), Handbook of psychotherapy and behaviour change (4th ed., pp. 270-378). New York, NY: Wiley and Sons]. The relationship between alliance and outcome has traditionally been studied based on measures that assess these therapy factors at a global level. However, the specific variations of the alliance process and their association with therapy segments that are relevant for change have not yet been fully examined. The present study examines the variations in the therapeutic alliance in 73 significant in-session events: 35 change and 38 stuck episodes identified through the observation of 14 short-term therapies of different theoretical orientations. Variations in the alliance were assessed using the VTAS-SF [Shelef, K., & Diamond, G. (2008). Short form of the revised Vanderbilt Therapeutic Alliance Scale: Development, reliability, and validity. Psychotherapy Research, 18, 433-443]. Nested analyses (HLM) indicate a statistically significant better quality of the alliance during change episodes.

“…Because important events tend to capture the essence of a therapy experience for clients, they should provide helpful information to explain why change might be occurring for clients. Other researchers (Cummings, Hallberg, Martin, & Slemon, 1992;Cummings, Martin, Hallberg, & Slemon, 1992;Cummings, Slemon, & Hallberg, 1993;Heppner, Rosenberg, & Hedgespeth, 1992;Mahrer & Nadler, 1986;Martin, Paivio, & Labadie, 1990;Martin & Stelmaczonek, 1988) have used important events in individual therapy to study change processes by categorizing events into five categories describing therapeutic processes. The only group therapy study which included important events was Kivlighan and Goldfine (1991), who asked university students to indicate critical incidents for each personal-growth session.…”

Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographie prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order. This study also examined whether initial scores on the five main variables were related to selected abuse variables (i.e., nurnber of perpetrators, sexual abuse by a father figure, nature of sexual abuse, age of onset, duration, and frequency of sexual abuse) and whether change on the five outcome variables was related to these abuse variables. Correlational analyses arnong the five iii main variables and the abuse variables were not significant. As well, MANOVA analyses comparing change on the five main variables from the first to the last group therapy sessions by the abuse variables were not significant.
