“…A study conducted by Thomas et al ( 15 ), in the oncology area, with patients with advanced cancer participating in a primary palliative care intervention, shows that trusting relationships between patients with advanced cancer and their oncologists are associated with better patient quality of life. A recent study examined the influence of the TA on QoL in a brief seven-session CBT program for OCD ( 16 ) and used the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) which includes only mental and physical components of the Qol, which is different to the WHOQOL-Bref measure that includes psychological, physical, social and environmental domains. No statistical association was found.…”

BackgroundThe therapeutic alliance (TA) is considered a common psychotherapeutic factor associated with positive results in psychotherapies. There are no studies relating the TA with quality of life (Qol).ObjectivesOur objective was to evaluate whether there is an association between the TA and Qol across three different psychotherapies.MethodsA cross-sectional study, which included outpatients undergoing individual psychotherapeutic treatment was conducted. When analyzing the total sample, the correlation of the TA with Qol domains did not present statistical significance. When considering only the sample of patients who were undergoing treatment in psychodynamic psychotherapy (PP), there was a statistically significant association between the TA and the psychological domain of Qol (p < 0.05). When using a regression model for adjusting for confounding factors, the association between psychological domain with the TA on the PP patients sample lost significance (p = 0.221).DiscussionThese findings suggest that the TA seems to be more strongly related to better QoL in PP.
