Abstract(s)
It is sometimes assumed that a counter-complementary stance towards the relational pull exerted by clients plays an important role in the change process (Bernier & Dozier, 2002; Mallinckrodt, 2000). Initial evidence suggests that this can be facilitated by a dissimilar or non-complementary match between relational preferences within the therapeutic dyad and by attachment security in therapists (see Daniel, 2006). In both cases, ‘out of style’/’against type’ responses are more likely to occur, which may help disconfirm clients’ problematic working models of relationships and thus facilitate change (Bowlby, 1988). Presumably, client and therapist attachment dimensions and their combinations will have an effect on session quality (Goodman, 2000). Research in the field is scarce, but tends to support this hypothesis (Bruck et al., 2006; Mohr et al., 2005; Romano et al., 2008). Meanwhile, even less is known concerning the variation of session evaluation over time.
